Sorel 'Cate the Great' winter boots

In my opinion as a Sorel-o-holic, Cate the Great is the best Sorel winter boot of them all! I tend to indiscriminately buy them all up whenever I see them (aren't they discontinued?) whether they fit or not. This pair does not fit! These are size 9. They've seen a bit of love (please see all photos) but still fantastic boots. Black leather with a couple of very minor marks here and there. Waterproof, but please refer to last couple of photos for a small crack in the rubber on the side top of the right boot (doesn't go through the lining obviously). Great boots!
