SOREL Women's Ona Ave Low Waterproof Sneaker

These shoes are super cute & trendy! I spent 10 days walking roughly 20,000 steps per day in Europe with these - including a 6 mile hike & climbing multiple historic towers. My feet were never uncomfortable, I felt the shoes were breathable and sturdy/stable. There was less rain than anticipated but when it rained or there were puddles, my feet and shoes stayed totally dry. My only complaint is they did scuff/dirty and though they’re easily cleanable, the suede detail has remained grey after antibacterial wipes. I will try a more aggressive cleaning method though. As always, I size up by 0.5 because all my Soren’s run small.

These shoes are very cute. I was so excited to wear them on my upcoming European trip. I had read that the tongue is stiff but also saw that others had success with softening it up. I did not. While breaking them, despite all attempts to bend/soften the tongue, I got terrible lace bite. At 50, this is my first experience ever with it - and if you haven’t had it, let me tell you, it’s terrible. My ankle was seriously swollen. Now, six days later, I still have pain there and can’t even wear my go to running shoes. It’s very frustrating as I’m out the money and still in search of another shoe to do what I needed these to do. I feel robbed. I’ve had success with Sorel in the past but these are a BIG NO.

Absolute fan! Ordered prior to travel to Australia and New Zealand as my go-to shoes for the trip! They were perfect! Comfortable for walking tours, and perfect for less than ideal weather or ground conditions. No issues with breaking them in, and I enjoyed the confidence of the waterproofing. Ribbed soles are challenging to clean, but it can be done! Mine still look great after eight months, and I added elastic no-tie laces. Now, they are perfect! First pair is silver, and I’m back for black.

I love these shoes and bought them in every color and now am planing to give as gifts to my loved ones who live in wet and cold climates. It's so hard to find a good sneaker that is actually waterproof, and the extra little boost from the platform bottom is amazing - the extra height is perfect for walking through some of the more intense puddles we have in the fall and winter, and it looks so chic with all my outfits. I am so obsessed with these sneakers!! Note: I have very flat feet and also go for wide shoes whenever possible, but these just came in traditional offerings. I am pleased to report three pairs and many miles of walking later, I have had zero issue with the traditional width in my size and also no issue with pain in my non-existent foot arches. I wear size 9, ordered size 9, and am very comfortable!

Although it said these were low cut, they were still very night up to the ankle bone. Uncomfortable

I do not like tennis shoes... I can never wear them for any length of time without wanting to take them off..always feel like my feet are smothering. But these are amazing...so comfortable. Wore them all day and could have worn them longer. Feet didn't get hot.. I absolutely am so happy with these shoes. Ordered in white and in black and keeping both. I LOVE THEM!! I wear either a 6.5 or 7 depending on the shoe. In these, the 6.5 is perfect!!!

Comfortable and cute! The tongue did poke into the front of my ankle, but I just rolled it back a few times and it doesn’t bother me anymore. Other than that these cute shoes did NOT need breaking in and I get lots of compliments! (I also have neuropathy, and a big arthritic joint and I can still wear them all day!) These are not your marshmallow lightweight running shoes, but comfortable and sturdy for wearing in rain and out.

I may have reviewed these before, but today they got a real waterproof test as we have experienced 8.5 inches of rain in the past few days. Today, we had lots of water flowing through our property and I was wearing these when I started shoveling and diverting water. After an hour of work with water over the laces many times, I came in side to discover that my socks were TOTALLY DRY! Simply amazing!!
