Sorel Victoria Winter Boots - Waterproof Insulated (For Women)

We just got 16 inches of snow. These boots have been tested for real. They keep my feet warm and dry. Freezing weather, blowing snow, wading through deep snow with the dog, they did the job. I am so thankful I ordered and got them in time for this mess. I have to say they are work getting on and off, but they are worth it. Plus they look very nice. Not clunky duck feet boots. They are light and flexible as well so no clomping about like a robot woman. They do slip on ice, but most boots do. Caution on slate pavers and wet wood since they slip there as well.

These cute boots are great for kicking around on cold days. I wear them with jeans tucked in & they are very warm and comfy. I ordered a half size up to accommodate thick socks, and that seems to work well.

I purchased this pair for my daughter who might move to a colder-winter state from SF Bay Area for college. Her usual shoe sizes are somewhere between 5 and 5 1/2 medium. She is very happy about the fit and declares this will be her favorite "serious" winter boots.

These boots are excellent, and I purposely waited until mid-winter so I could accurately review them. They FIT, just, so I would order a 1/2 size larger than normal. A tad tight and stiff to get on, but then once they are on, SO great! They have kept my feet warm in negative 30 North Dakota winter, snow, and large areas of ice with no problems. Any time there is adverse cold weather out, these boots go on! I have yet to try them in water to test the water proofing, but had no problems trudging thru calf high snow drifts! And did I mention, they are cute and sassy enough to wear in stores without feeling too frumpy- yay!

Pros: 1. Extremely warm (don't wear w/ heavy socks, your feet will overheat) 2. Actually waterproof :) Cons: 1. Unless you have absolutely no calf muscles, the boots are not wide enough to tuck regular jeans or any other pant besides leggings into them comfortably. 2. Sometimes it rubs the back of my heel
