Sorel Women's Platform Boots - Waterproof Winter Snow Boots for Women, Comfortable & Stylish Cold Weather Shoes - Perfect for Snowy Days, Hiking, and Outdoor Adventures

Stick with me, I almost sent these back. They are a small bit stiff upon first wedging them on.These boots are game-changers for me in the Iowa winter. I have been looking for wedged booties that don't cut me off in a weird spot on my leg, with great traction, look cute, and have arch support . These boots are the full package.I normally wear 9.5/10 and after reading reviews, I stuck with the 10 as a sort-of half size up. I have average width-sized feet, but was still nervous after anyone with a slightly wider foot reviewed that they aren't made for wider feet.When I first put them on I was initially severely disappointed that maybe they would be too narrow as they were snug at the seam on the top of the boot, but I walked around with them on for a few minutes and after they got a little warm, they are absolutely perfect.I think they need to a bit snug at first to stay on and up comfortably since there is no zipper.I have worn them for a couple of days now, running around and standing, and they aren't too snug at all. My feet don't feel crammed in, the toes are free to wiggle, and everybody is happy!
