SOREL Size Guide
SOREL specialises in premium winter footwear, designed for cold-weather performance and comfort. The brand is renowned for its insulated boots, snow boots, and winter shoes engineered to keep feet warm in extreme conditions. SOREL footwear runs true to size in UK and US measurements, with a focus on reliable fit straight from the box. The brand uses the Mondopoint sizing system — an international standard where each whole size equals exactly 1 cm in foot length — ensuring precision across all markets. SOREL boots are known to be slightly generous in fit; if you are between sizes, consider sizing down by half a size for an optimal, snug fit.
How to Measure
- Take your most comfortable and best-fitting shoe or boot that you currently own.
- Remove the insole from the shoe and place it on a flat surface.
- Using a steel measuring tape, measure from the extreme tip of the toe to the extreme tip of the heel in centimetres.
- The measurement will always be exact to the nearest 0.5 cm (for example, 25.0 cm or 25.5 cm, never 25.2 cm).
- Cross-reference your measurement against the foot-length column in the relevant size chart below.
- If your measurement falls between two sizes, we recommend selecting the larger size for comfort, especially when wearing thicker socks.

Product-Specific Guidance
Winter Boots (Women's & Men's)
SOREL winter boots are engineered for extreme cold and snow. They run true to UK and US sizes. Many customers find that SOREL boots fit generously; if you are unsure between two sizes, we recommend going down by half a size to ensure a snug fit with winter socks. Always measure your foot length in centimetres using the method above, as this is the most reliable way to select your size. The Mondopoint system used internally by SOREL guarantees consistency across all their footwear.
Snow Boots
Snow boots in the SOREL range follow the same sizing standards as winter boots. Fit is generous to accommodate thick insulated socks and thermal liners. If you have owned SOREL boots previously, your size has not changed and you can confidently reorder the same size.
Winter Shoes & Casual Footwear
SOREL's lighter winter shoes and casual styles maintain the brand's true-to-size philosophy. These are ideal for milder winter conditions and urban environments. Sizing remains consistent across the range.
Children's Winter Boots
SOREL children's boots follow EU, US Kids, and UK Kids sizing. Children's feet grow quickly, so measure your child's foot length regularly. The Mondopoint measurements shown in the chart above provide a precise guide for growth between sizes.
Sizing Tips
- Always measure your foot in centimetres for the most accurate size selection. This removes guesswork and accounts for individual variation in foot width and shape.
- SOREL boots are known to fit generously; if you are between two sizes, consider sizing down by half a size, especially if you have narrow feet or do not plan to wear thick socks.
- Measure your feet in the afternoon or evening, as feet naturally swell slightly throughout the day. This ensures you select a size that remains comfortable during extended wear.
- When trying on SOREL boots, wear the thickness of socks you plan to use during winter. Thin dress socks versus thick thermal socks will significantly affect the fit.
- If you have previously purchased SOREL footwear and were satisfied with the fit, you can confidently reorder the same size. SOREL's sizing standards have remained consistent.
- SOREL boots are designed to accommodate removable or custom insoles (such as orthotics). Factor in insole thickness when selecting your size, as this will reduce internal boot volume.
- EU size conversions for SOREL footwear do not follow standard European conventions due to the way the brand converts from Mondo sizing. Always refer to the SOREL size chart rather than assuming standard EU conversions apply.
- Consider purchasing two sizes and returning the one that does not fit. Many retailers offer a no-quibble returns policy within 100 days, allowing you to test the fit at home in real winter conditions.
