What does anyone expect from Sorel, but all of your expectations to be met when looking for a boot that fits the weather-bill. This boot stands tall and looks fantastic on. Very comfortable and roomy to allow for a medium thick sock. This boot will keep the weather out while keeping your feet and toes warm and comfortable. The color combination is true to the photo and even better in person. It has a nice tall shaft with room for tucking in pants or wearing leggings or skinny jeans. The sole of the boot will keep you from slipping on wet or icy concrete and asphalt. Can't wait to wear these on the wide, open plains of the mid-west.
