Reviewers are none too pleased with the restrictiveness of the featured Sorel shoe. Their observation is backed by comments such as "they fit really tight" and "extremely narrow." A shoe collector among them tells Sorel to "consider making extra wide shoes" in response to all this fit-centric drama.

Crafted in a rush?
There are those who aren't quite sold on the Sorel Kinetic Rush in terms of overall quality. One reviewer says that his pair has glue marks in the most obvious places. Another one says that the Achilles heel of the shoe is "very thin and flimsy."

Sneaker fans are convinced that the Kinetic Rush is really breathable. The shoe's high level of ventilation is linked to its airy textile upper with multiple vent holes around the vamp.
You prefer bottoms that flaunt your ankles think cropped pants
It's been reported that the collar of the Sorel Kinetic Rush can feel scratchy for some. To counteract this, wear over-the-ankle socks during its almost non-existent break-in period.
