Sorel Women's Nakiska Slide II Shoes - Black, Natural - Size 9 Review

I am a huge fan of Sorel boots! These boots went back on the first day. The toebox is very tight. I normally wear a 7 1/2 and I could not even get my foot in the boot. I love my Sorel boots, But these were so disappointing of the quality. So sad, because they’re so cute!

Thanks for the advice y’all! I usually take an 8.5 in sorel shoes, but the Amazon advice is right! Get the next half size up! Other than running a smidge small I haven’t had a chance to wear these pretty boots. I ordered them in July for a move to Michigan from the south… lawd (and sorel) please help me!

Amazing snow boots!

Well made, good fit, very comfortable, worth the money

It seems that these boats are running way too small in comparison to any other boats I’ve ever worn.

I was disappointed as I paid much for these boots and the top of the boot started to peel. I thought they were leather but I guess I was mistaken.

Well, my feet are happy and I am definitely pleased with my new slippers! These slippers had a lot to live up to after all the reviews I read about them on various sites, and so far, they aren't letting me down. Honestly, I would have not regularly paid for this much for slippers for myself, but it was my 40th birthday and I told my mom I wanted some new slippers that I could slide on without having to bend over and use my hands- plus something I could wear in or out (to get the mail and such). She sent me a link with the Sorel Nakiska slides (same as these, but the part by the heal is down a little lower). I started reading reviews on those and then came across this style, with more coverage of the heal and was getting really excited at trying these for myself.My hardest decision was the sizing. Half of the reviews I read said if you were between sizes to go up a size and half said to go down a size. I was so confused. I did not want my toes squished but I did not want to get a half size up and then have them flip flopping. I did however, decide to go up to a size 8, since I am normally a 7 1/2 and figured I could wear socks if I needed to. Well, so far- perfect fit! Glad I did not go down a half size. I mostly wear them without socks (am right now and so cozy), but I also wear them with thin socks. I do wonder if someday they will loosen up some more and then feel too loose. I hope not. I had read another review that said that they did not do that, but only time will tell.I have to add also, that my mom did not end up getting me the slippers since I actually got a better gift, but then my mother-in-law got me some slippers that were not Sorels. They are Dearfoam and they are nice slippers- what I'm really used to. No problem with them really, as I've always worn slippers like that, and they really look similar and even have a sole I can wear outside. If I had never read all of the reviews about the Sorels, I would have been thrilled with the new Dearfoams and been happy. However, since I had now had my heart set on sinking my feet into the Sorel's, I went ahead and ordered them for myself. In the meantime, I was wearing my Dearfoams and happy with them.My Sorels arrived and it was just as I expected after reading other reviews. I put my feet in and they felt so good- the arch support is so comfortable and the overall design makes the slippers fit like a glove to my foot. There isn't any flopping around, but they aren't tight, they just seem to form to my foot. The sole is different than the Dearfoams, as they curve up a little in the front and remind me more of a running shoe, that helps your foot as it curves to the ground. Also, a big difference from the other slipper, they are whisper quiet. The soles grip my floors (laminate and linoleum) without any slipping, and because they don't flip flop, they are more like wearing socks. This is a nice feature to me, but maybe no big deal to anyone else. I was then able to try on one Dearfoam and one Sorel at the same time. Wow! The foot in the Dearfoam was just a foot in a slipper, but my foot in the Sorel was like a foot getting a hug. Dumb analogy maybe, but really, the Sorel foot was SO comfy. I feel bad, because I am certainly not trying to bash Dearfoam here, but I'm sure it sounds that way. Really, if you just want an average slipper that doesn't cost much- then they are fine. Now though, that I've tried the Sorel's and I am expecting them to last a long time- I can't imagine not spending the extra money to get these quality slippers for my feet! I am a new Sorel customer that plans to be a repeat customer. I'm even considering giving some as gifts, knowing that other people would be just as happy.One last thing I wanted to say- I almost call these "shoes" instead of slippers, as I am wearing them all the time I've worn them beyond my mail box and trash can outside. I've worn them to church, to the store, just wherever and whenever I can. They are that comfy. They are sturdy enough for me to wear them out (and stylish, I think), but yet, they don't feel heavy or bulky like a shoe when I'm inside. I even slipped into bed with them on my feet one night, because it was cold and I didn't to take them off. That time, I did wish I had put socks on and then I would have slipped them off. Anyway, because these are so versatile for me as well as so comfortable, I am sold, sold, sold on Sorel Nakiskas. I am certain I will buy more Sorel products for my feet! I never review, but I always read reviews. I always think that I should review on so many products that I like, but never take the time. For these though, I finally took the time. Hopefully I'll review more items from now on. The Sorels are just so great that I had to start here.

Disappointed with this purchase. The box it arrived in smelled like turpentine, as did the slippers. They fit smaller than expected. I wear a 10.5 and ordered the size indicating it fits 11 and they are tight, but given they are a soft suede I would think they will stretch out a bit once broken in. I do like that I don't have to grip these with my toes when walking and that the lip is just tall enough to keep them in place. They would be difficult to just slip on though unless you used your hands to get the heel within the lip. They are not as soft as I hoped, but reasonably well cushioned. They might soften up once broken in. I don't think I would feel comfortable wearing this outside- can't tell if the bottom is waterproof or not. Frankly, I am surprised at all of the high reviews. For the price I expected a better product. If my husband had bought these for me and said he spent $25 I would have believed him. Update: They broke in nicely and now fit very well. I would still consider them to be a small 11, but it works for me. The right slipper digs into the top of my foot for some reason- the left is fine. Not sure what is up with that. I have worn them nonstop for a few months and they fit like a glove. Super comfortable and they stay on my foot perfectly. I was initially worried they would wear out fairly quickly, but so far they are holding up great. They still look great! One day I accidentally wore them into work. My slacks were long enough to cover the fur trim, so they passed as being regular shoes well enough and made me want to make that mistake again :) When they wear out I will be repurchasing these.
