I love these boots? So why not five star rating? Mainly because I'm not completely in love with the red/orange piping on the boot (which are actually pretty subtle in real life), and I wish the sole was solid black instead of tan.
That said, what do I love? Everything else. The fit is fantastic. I got the boot in my regular dress shoe size as was suggested, and they fit perfectly. As a former gymnast, I have some massive calves (16.5" on a good day), so the wide shaft fits perfectly, allowing me to get a pair of skinny jeans AND snow boot socks in there without a super tight squeeze - in fact, it's no squeeze at all! I was looking for something stylish and functional to wear to and from the mountain on ski trips, and around town when the weather wasn't so great, and these boots perform on all those levels. I'm still waiting for a pair of Ugg liners I bought to replace the current lining, to see if it'll make it a slightly warmer boot (I still have a little room in the toe box with socks on, so hopefully that doesn't compromise the fit).
Oh, lastly, unlike other Sorels, and snow boots in general, I've tried on, despite wearing a size 9.5, my feet do not look like boats. In fact, these boots make my feet look downright dainty, so much so that I was initially apprehensive that they'd fit my feet at all.
Bottom line: these look and perform way better than they appear on the website; order your true size, and if you need a roomier boot shaft, these will fit perfectly.

I bought these boots as I was looking for an insulated boot.
I have chronically cold feet.
I live in Australia, in a town where it snows a few times in winter. Cold, but not super cold.
I have been disappointed by the lack of insulation in these boots. They keep my feet warm inside, but when I step outside, they are no better than any other boot.
They are moderately comfortable with a flat sole.
The front zipper is OK, but looks a bit weird and sometimes bends onto my ankle and hurts.
They are a nice wide fit on the calf. But do have a strange effect where the boot comes out wide near the top and then finishes narrower at the very top. It does give my leg a bit of a funny look.
I woudn't call these knee high boots. They finish 3 inches below the bottom of my knee.
They have a wide ankle look, but it is offset a little by the suede section, that gives a bit of style to the ankle area.
They do appear to be waterproof.
Overall, I do like these boots. They are quite stylish (if you have big calves) and have a fun look.
They are waterproof, but the insulation is certainly nothing worth mentioning. Infact, I wouldn't describe them as insulated.
I have had them for approx 1 month and seem to be holding up OK re: wear and tear.

I fell in love with these boots the first time i saw them- i thought they looked unique, flat and stylish. They are flat, they are unique, they are stylish but just not the way i wanted them to be when I got them in person. I have 15 inch calves and ordered a size 11 (which was a perfect fit in the foot and a much better fit then in the firenzy breve i got last year). The calves are massive- way too big for my legs and they are really oversized to accomodate either really really big calves or hugely thick leg warmers. I think they are a bit of a miss in terms of design and I look forward to next years line in the hope that they make a boot with all the good things (like flatness and bold colors and waterproof) but leave out the poor things- like oversized calves, excessive decorative panels and front zippers (Sorel if you are reading this -they just look and feel odd and aren't flattering so please put the zippers on the side or the back). I've gone for Dr martens 'elena' instead which are lovely.

I love these boots!
They are the perfect compromise between style and warmth.
Tips:
I don't think that they are true to size.
e.g. I wear size 8.5 at Nine West and I'd suggest that go at least 0.5 size smaller than usual. I bought them in 8.5 and even with a thick wool insole, they are still a bit big..
These boots have more of a rain boots fitting. That ankle will be a bit loose.. That would be the only negative point.
On the up side, if, like me you do have big calves, these boots will fit you perfectly! I can even tuck my pants in them!

Growing up in Canada, I am very familiar with Sorel boots from way back, big, bulky, ugly but incredibly warm and practical. Now...what a difference...still warm and practical but I love their new styles. I bought these super marked down as some of the reviews aren't great. I think they are great. Not the typical, good for -30 sorels but waterproof and warm enough for a melting snow, slushy kind of day. I think the front zipper looks cool, but I'm not sure if that is the reason my foot pushes forward and hits the end when I walk..my only complaint about these boots.

These boots fit true to size and are just right for my narrow feet. They are water proof, however have no insulation, despite what they claim. I need to wear wool socks with these and do ok walking in the snow for short amounts of time. I like that they are lighter weight than traditional winter boots, and much more fashionable!My only other complaint is that the leather marks/scratches extremely easily.

I loved these, I wear 7.5 and they are true to size. I bought an 8 as I like boots a little roomy. They are warm and comfy... the catch is the gigantic calf (on me at least). If you have large calves these boots should rock for you! Loved the look, fit of the footbed, coziness (I have cold feet in the winter), but returned them due to the calf.

The boots were super cute except for the fact that they were too bulky for my taste. Had to return them and look for something that was more fitting.
