 Excellent Boot for Problem Feet Jan 13, 2009
By S. M.
Because I suffer from severe Plantar Fasciitis in both feet I was sceptical about ordering any kind of footware via the internet.
I received a pair of Columbia boots for Christmas however I returned them because they lacked arch support.
After reading the reviews, I decided to give these Sorels a try.
I ordered a half size larger then I normally wear as I use a thin insole. These are wonderful boots. They are not big, clunky, heavy boots. My feet stay warm and dry but most important, to me, is these boots do not cause any foot pain.
The foot-bed is soft and offers excellent arch support.
I would recommend these boots to anyone who suffers from Plantar Fasciitis (or not).
I couldn't be more pleased!

Fabulous winter boots! Dec 29, 2009
By C. Capela
"calsunshine"
I had been eyeing these boots since last winter and now that we've had over 12" of snow already this winter and 40 degrees feels warm, I made sure these boots made it on my Christmas list. I am so happy! I chose the oyster color and it is a nice, stylish neutral (a soft grey with sort of an ice blue undertone to it).
Size-wise, I typically wear a size 8. However, after looking at their sizing chart (a must-do!) and also knowing I typically wear thicker socks in the winter that are difficult to squeeze into my size 8 shoes, I had my husband order me a size 9. I have worn them several times now with regular, non-bulky socks, and I feel like I do have some extra room for bulkier socks, but the extra room I gave myself doesn't feel like I'm swimming in the boots. I'm pretty confident that I ordered just the right size. I might have been able to go with a size 8.5, but I might not get my thicker socks in there as comfortably.
Additionally, these boots are very well constructed, feel light on my feet despite being a winter boot, and most important of all they keep my feet warm! Hallelujah! Seriously, my feet feel like frozen blocks of ice in the winter. Once I go outside my feet get cold and they stay cold for hours it seems. Not with these boots. My feet stay warm!
With regard to price, I've never paid more than $40 for a pair of winter boots (and all they ended up being were bulky weights that never kept my feet warm), but I've also never lived in this much snow, so I saw this as the time to make the investment. I have no doubts I'm going to get a ton of use out of these boots and be warm every single time!
The -only- adjustment I'm still getting used to with regard to these boots is driving with them. I don't typically wear boots at all, so I'm not used to any limited flexibility in my ankle. I do not feel that it's a hazard to drive with them - they're not bulky nor heavy - I just have to either loosen the laces or put a little more pressure to press down on the gas pedal. No issue pressing the brake pedal -- just flexing the ankle to press the gas pedal. Perhaps this will work itself out as I continue to break them in.
Also, all my prior winter boots were zip-up, but these lace up boots take no time at all. I slide my foot in, tuck my pant leg in (they're a great height), and pull the laces tight (they tighten up very smoothly with ease), and then tie 'em up. No fuss. It's also really nice that the tongue of the boot is constructed to keep snow out. That's a huge plus.
So, final conclusion, these are fabulous winter boots!

Sorel Cumberland is fantastic May 02, 2008
By Rachel
I bought the Sorel Cumberland boots form Amazon just over a week ago. I live in New Zealand and spend as much time in the snow in winter as possible.
Firstly the delivery was fantastic. The boots went through 3 different countries before they got here and the whole process only took 5 days!
Secondly, the boots look great and are incredibly warm and comfortable. I was a little worrried about getting the size correct, but went to the Sorel website, measured my feet and worked out from the sizing graph which size to get. The fit is perfect.
Thank you Amazon and Backcountry I am truly impressed with your speed and service.

 Very warm and comfortable Feb 22, 2009
By J. Seckinger
Although it took me a couple days to break in my new pair of these boots, I soon realized that they were perfect for the cold and long winters in Michigan. I generally walk to and from work, about 1/2 mile everyday, and these were very comfortable and warm even in two feet of snow. The can be a little slippery when going in side on tile floors, but are great on ice and snow.

 Don't You Believe It... Dec 13, 2010
By Avid Camper
"WS"
Don't you believe the sizing charts; these run small (short) and narrow in the front toe area. This is especially bad, if you have arthritis or want to wear a thicker sock or a sock liner and sock. But even if these aren't concerns, these run small. I usually wear a 9 medium Sorel boot, but in these, even a 10 medium felt tight. They seem to have good traction in the snow; not so good on ice or slippery/wet floors. As typical for most lace-up boots currently on the market, the laces are fat and slippery, so they tend to come undone or loosen while walking. They are a real challenge to tie, as well. The liners are not removable and could be more generous. My feet were cold in minutes and there is no room for an additional insole for better insulation. These boots are fairly lightweight. There is some arch support, but not like a shoe. Not too happy, Sorel boots sure aren't what they used to be...
