Sorel Explorer II Carnival Cozy Boots For Women

2023-03-19T20:00:00

I bought these 2 months ago and am super happy with this purchase! Full disclosure, I did spray them with a suede waterproofing product, as I live in northern Minnesota and winter is no joke. However, I have stepped almost ankle deep in an icy stream - no wet feet!! & still cozy warm; worn these in negative (Fahrenheit) temperatures & still been warm!; walked several miles, averaging about 2 miles per day with no blisters or complaints; been able to wear double socks if I prefer; and just one time on a very cold day while walking around in the bog my feet actually got sweaty?? I'm blaming that one on poor sock choice for that day. These are seriously a dream though to wear. They feel better than my slippers and it does feel like I'm just wearing slippers to work or out and about every day, that's how comfy. I did go a half-size up, based on other folks reviews, so that could be contributing to the slipper-like vibe, but I have zero regrets so far. (1/2 size up from my typical hiking boot size gives it the "Small" size rating.) I also like the slightly larger size and whatever they are doing with the tread because these shoes beat out my hiking boots, other winter boots, and my previous pair of Sorel winter boots in terms of steadiness in icy conditions. I'm not sure if that's because they're a little bigger, but these are by far the shoes I feel the most secure in in icy or slippery conditions. That said, you still have to take it easy - I don't recommend running on ice in these, unless you live on the edge, but it was an unexpected bonus for me. In addition, I love this color - so cheerful for winter when everything can be bleh some days. Note in the photos that I've accumulated some dirt on the shoes due to walking around town which gets grungy from road residue and snow maintenance, but I anticipate these will clean right up due to the nice quality suede. I've had a previous similar-iteration of these boots from Sorel, and I'm so glad these did not disappoint. Love them!

I like the style and fit of the shoes. You definitely have to go up a full size. I'm normally a 7.5; in these shoes 8.5 is most comfortable. I also had to replace the soles they come with; they're extremely thin and provide no support.

Hi R I originally commented on these that they were excellent boots, but after reading reviews I had to recomment. I bought these boots and love them both for comfort and warmth. I bought the size I normally buy for a shoe when working out. The fit was perfect and I love the stylish color. Getting lots of compliments on them

I was worried after I ordered these shoes seen so many bad reviews I had to put in if you have my own the shoes are adorable so cute. Love the color and the size is perfect. I read that the size was a really small it's not it fits me perfect

My boots came today and I was so disappointed that one of the boots was defective. There was staining on the sherpa portion and also the interior heel lining was completely ripped. I tried them on anyways to make sure the sizing was ok. I wear a 9, ordered a 9.5 , fit fine. Unfortunately my heels kept slipping, it was like wearing boot flip flops! Was also a bit surprised that upon returning them I was charged $6.00 return shipping, despite them being defective!

Bought these a few weeks ago and absolutely love them. I get so many compliments and they are super warm and cozy. As suggested, order a full size up if you plan to wear thick socks with them. I ordered a half size up and they fit perfectly with normal socks or merino blend socks.

As everyone else has said, they do run small. I ordered 1/2 a size up, but could have gone up a full size. They feel a lot like wearing a pair of slippers. I do wish they had a little more structure in the back as the lining bunches up when I put my foot in. Overall, I like them a lot.

These boots are great, if they fit. I wear a solid 81/2. Every shoe of any style are that fit, except these boots. The heal is narrow and the lining takes a good ½ inch. The felt okay when I first wore them but I quickly discovered they just didn?t fit right. Since I had wore them, I didn?t think they were able to be returned. They are great books but buy them a half size bigger than your normal size,

Ordered these in the sea sprite color during the Black Friday sale and am so glad I did! Very warm, comfortable and unique. Ordered a size up to accommodate my wide feet and they are perfect.

Just got these and I love them. So cute and cozy. I'd size up a 1/2 a size if you want to wear wool socks.

I bought these for my daughter. I am getting ready for birthdays and Christmas early this year! She tried them on and walked in the snow with them. She didn?t want to take them off. They did have a squeaky sound when she walked on the tile. I really don?t like that, but she seemed fine with it. In dress shoes she wears a 6 1/2 and running shoes she wears a 8 and so based on the reviews to size up I got her an 8. She walks a lot and I wanted her to have the room with thicker socks as well.

These are so cute on and they are very cozy! They do feel a little snug so if you can size 1/2 size up.

Loving these shoes! Wore them on a trip to Norway, Sweden and Finland where temps were between 0-20 degrees and snowing. Wore them with thin merino wool socks and they kept my feet toasty and cozy the whole time! Built VERY well and looked adorable! I would suggest ordering half a size up. Perfect for city and mountain cold weather. These were the only shoes I ever needed on this trip! One little thing - at first the laces came undone often but after wearing them a few times, they were fine.

These boots are super cute & comfy! I normally wear an 8 or 8.5 but ordered a 9, and they are perfect (so probably order up at least a half size). First time wearing them out, I received several compliments. Love them!

Super cute! Run a bit narrow but they are very warm and comfortable. With a pair of wool socks, my feet were hot on a 20 degree walk.
