Sorel Cate the Great Boots - Waterproof, Insulated (For Women)

this is one of best boots in Sorel. I own Joan of Arctic, Caribou, I was looking for tall boots this boots is taller than Joan of arctic. easy to put on and very cute, I love them.

I bought these specifically for a trip to Russia and Finland in March. My feet were always dry and always warm, even up into the arctic circle of Finland. To the point of boiling almost. I recommend these for everything from walking in the slush and snow to ice fishing in Antarctica.

I ordered this boot hoping it would be a fun winter boot- but because I am 5' 10'' and wear a size 10 shoe- these were soooo big they looked ridiculous. They were also really heavy, which wasn't very comfortable. I would say to order a half size to size down depending on your width- I have narrow feet and they were swimming around in these. they are amazing quality but way too much boot for me! If you really want a pair of Sorel boots I highly suggest that you try a pair on at a store and then order online- learned my lesson. They shipped back and I ended up ordering a lighter boot. .

My twin sister owns two pairs of these boots, and I've loved every step in hers...so I decided to buy my own! They are extremely comfortable and versatile...great to play in the snow yet fashionable enough to wear around town.

I bought these for my girlfriend and she has been raving about them. Completely waterproof, very warm, and very comfortable. When we were in aspen she tried on many different sorels and they were twice as much as these. (aspen prices) What do you expect when you go to a place where the wine flows lie beer and and the women flock like the salmon of capistrano? Anyway, she loves them and said similar boots she tried on hurt her heel where the heel and ankle bend. If that makes any sense.

Before these boots I had North Face Nuptse for 3-4 years, very good quality but gradually lost waterproof feature. Couple of weeks ago I decided to invest in a new pair of boots. Compared Sorel, Merrel, North Face, plus others I can't remember. Sorel boots were by far the most heavy-duty, durable, waterproof boots out there. I then compared several Sorel products and concluded Cate the Great offers as much protection as their more pricier options. The design was also the most simple and elegant with gorgeous color combos. I then searched for the best deal online, and Derailed was by far the most affordable - $30 less than a beloved shoe retailer that usually offers great deals. I had never shopped from the website or heard of it, but ordered nonetheless. I got a $10 coupon just for signing up to receive e-mail offers, which given the deals I would have done anyway. Derailed only billed me when actually shipping the product, which was very much appreciated. The product shipped for free and arrived in 3-4 business-days, which was amazing (ordered Sunday night, got it Thursday or earlier; UPS left note on Tuesday). The boots are stunning and did very well during an unexpected snowfall last week. They took a bit of breaking-into, but that was expected. They actually consist of two parts, a leather-rubber upper and an inner layer that fits snugly to the leg/foot like a knee-sock. This is very useful because it can be easily cleaned and/or replaced without damaging the leather upper. The leather and rubber outer parts are seamlessly molded into each-other and it looks like the boot can stand pressure. The outer sole is a bit flat and smooth with only a few ridges, but I didn’t slip on ice or snow. Before ordering I read product reviews with respect to size and fit. Some people said their feet rub against the part where rubber and leather come together. That didn't happen to me. The only objection I can make to this shoe is it fits just a bit snugly around my muscular thighs, so I wish it came in half-sizes as well. I wear 5 and 5.5 for narrower shoes, and the 5 fits perfectly foot-wise. The pewter/kettle color is unique and gorgeous.

LOve them! Strange that I have in the elephant gray also same size & those are bigger inside (maybe less padding in gray ones as held together the 2 prs look same). So wish these black ones a titch bigger but otherwise great. Just love them!

I am a Sierra Trading Post junkie. However, these boots were not purchased through STP. I did want to share my views on these boots. i have wide foot and large calves. Like Keen products for their wide toe area but had been unable to find one of their boots to fit me. These Sorels fit the bill and my foot! Plenty of space in toe area and the lace up feature allows for comfortable adjustments. Style is a bit out of my norm, but, hey its nice to have something out of the ordinary once in a while. And with Sorel I can be sure that I will be wearing them for many years to come.

I love these boots, they are tall, warm and well insulated. They also seem to fit true to size. You are supposed to wear socks with them but when you first get them they should fit so that wearing socks make them just a little too tight. These pack out about a 1/2 size, bear that in mind. I didn't wear socks with these at first and they were still toasty warm, almost too warm! My only problem with them, and it isn't a big deal, is purely aesthetic. As with most winter boots, they are a bit bulky in the toe area and make me feel like I have huge feet. They definitely feel bigger on than they are in actuality. Their overall appearance more than makes up for a slightly bulky toe. Bottom line: Must have for winter living!

These boots are a bit on the bulky side but they are extremely warm and break in quickly! Wore them for the first time today while out shoveling 10 inchs of fresh snow in 19 degree temps and playing with my son. My feet and legs were kept nice and warm for the 3 hours we were outside. They have plenty of room to stuff in snow pants and the full laces make it easy to adjust for comfort.
