I am in love with these Sorels, they are absolutely adorable. I got the dark gray color, and they're a deep charcoal, will go with anything, and have a little more uniqueness than common black or brown. They are incredibly comfortable, but they do run quite snug, so size up a FULL size if you want room for thick socks. At the very least, size up 1/2 size; my toe came comfortably near the tip on a size 8 when I'm usually a size 7 to 7.5 length-wise. My feet are slightly wide, definitely not narrow, and these are snug at the sides too, but not too tight because I sized up. So both length and width run evenly small, so don't worry about sizing up and having them too long or wide...the boots fit like a glove at 1/2 size up, so size up a full size if you want room for thick socks. They feel like they will probably stretch out a bit with wear, but no guarantee there.They are very supportive, I will not be twisting an ankle walking over snow/ice while wearing these! They feel very secure, they hug my feet. They are also warm and soft inside. I haven't tried out how waterproof they are yet, but I'm not worried because I have other boots in the same material, and they have held up beautifully and always kept my feet completely dry (which is why I chose these boots with the same material.)These boots are so cute and stylish that I plan to wear them whenever it's cold, not just in rain or snow. I am seriously debating purchasing other colors. The style of these are pretty timeless, I know I'll love them just as much five years from now. And these are Sorels, so I know they will last a very long time. Great purchase.EDIT AFTER WEARING IN RAIN/SNOW: These boots are even more comfortable as I've broken them in, and I also hiked in them, and wore them in snow and rain, and my feet were perfectly dry. I got no blisters from them. They did stretch out a bit (wore with thick socks), and are even more comfortable now. The grip was great while hiking, even over wet rocks and mud, and the ankle support was perfect. They have no water stains. I'm going to order other colors for sure.
