Very cute winter boots. I found that they don't run small like most Sorels. I usually wear a 9 1/2 in most shoes and found that I needed a 10 because my toes touched in the 9's. With a 10 they still fit, but they have a little room for a winter sock.

Great boots. Bought them last winter and they look brand new. My feet never got cold or wet. I have thick calves and they worked great. They took about four days of mild discomfort to "break in" and after that they felt great. I wear with legwarmers to help "tuck" pants into the boot. Very sturdy for real snow wear. (Not glorified slippers like some brands. *coughUggscough*)

I love these boots! They are so stinkin' cute! I have only ever used Uggs for winter boots in the past, but was so sick of them getting soaked through in the snow, and they have very little traction. I was so excited to find these and even more excited to have received them (less than 48 hours after ordering with free shipping) and they are perfect! So comfortable, so adorable, and true to size! I can't wait for it to snow.

These boots were just as expected and are super comfortable and warm. I got them in Taffy. I purchased them because I was traveling to Germany and would be doing some hiking. I walked miles in them without breaking them in first and did not get blisters or anything. I wore thick socks. Additionally I was so warm when everyone else was complaining they were freezing. They are super cute too. I ordered them at 11:00 PM and received them at 11:00 AM the next day! You cannot beat that! My only complaint, is that they are a little hard to get on and off. The lining tends to want to come out when I take them off. It is not that big of a deal though because I just stuff it back in there. They are true to size, comfortable, warm, and cute! I think they will last me for years to come.

I bought these boots to keep my 14 yr old daughter's feet dry, warm and fashionable during our brutal (yet elegant) Minnesota winters. All criteria have been met! The only problem is I. (The Mom.) Now am suffering from boot envy. PS. Daughter did kick in some of the dough as the price tag is up there.

I love these boots! I haven't had the opportunity to wear them outside, just around my apartment for a while. I'm not sure if the back of the ankle will rub, I kind of bent my leg back to loosen up the material, and loosened the laces as much as I could. I assume a thick pair of socks will help with the ankle rubbing (if it becomes a problem for me). The reason I rate these as a half size larger than marked (even though they are whole sizes only) is because usually I can't fit so perfectly into a size 5 and still have room for my slightly wide toes, although I marked them true to width because they aren't that wide. I'm usually about a 5.5. I originally ordered a 6, but they were just too roomy and too big. I can't recommend what size others should try because everyone's feet are shaped differently. But, Zappos has free shipping, so it's not a big deal to order another size. I do agree with others that the colors on the Zappos site are not as accurate as real life. I'd recommend going to the Sorel website to view the accurate colors, but order from Zappos because their shipping is free and prices are awesome. Some say these boots are huge and clunky, I'm petite and don't have very muscular legs, and didn't find these boots to be too heavy for me. I consider them to be a very "sturdy" winter boot, considering the material they are made of-they aren't going to be light as a feather. Like I said I still have yet to test them during the winter. As always, Zappos has been great with their 1 day shipping and easy returns!

I wear a 9 but got a 10 cause I have thick calves and ankles. I also wanted to be able to wear tights/thick socks/leg warmers with them. 10s are a tad big, but I'm gonna keep them cause they feel really comfortable and warm and it's nothing a thick pair of socks won't fix. They are great if you have wide feet and have an inside liner that stretches around the calves. I live in a very remote/isolated part of Utah and these boots will hopefully do the job.

I want it to snow! These feel amazing. They're not heavy at all like other boots and feel fairly sturdy. The sole seems a little thin, but these are walking boots after all. I am so excited for winter in Flagstaff, these boots will keep me warm I'm sure of it.

Loved the boot. Runs much smaller than the normal Sorel boot. I usually wear a 10 in Sorel, and I took a 12 in this boot! But I love it! :) Adorable. Not a lot of arch support however if you need it. :(

I love these boots. I've worn these pretty much daily-while snowshoeing, snow tubing, and just walking around in the cold, snowy weather.I have plenty of room to wear a nice thick pair of wool socks. These boots keep feet warm and dry, and the faux fur keeps the snow out. Added bonus. These boots are super cute and stylish. I receive compliments every time I wear them. I didn't have any issues with discomfort or need to break these in.

The Joan of Arctic is a fantastic snow boot. The only disappointment I've had with this boot is the lack of snow to ware them in, but luckily they are cute enough to just wear as normal boots on cold days unlike any snow boots I've had before, and they really keep your feet warm and cozy. However, they were a bit hard to walk in at first as they didn't want to bend, but the more I have worn them the better it's gotten.

These are very stylish boots, and I can tell that they would be very warm! There were a few reasons I had to return them. I wear a 7½ so I ordered the 8 and my toes hit the front and that was uncomfortable; if there were half sizes I think an 8½ would have been perfect. Pants do not fit over them and I cannot wear skinny anything to work. They are almost too cute, and I would feel very guilty destroying them in New England winters. I quickly realized that I need a pair of boots I can throw on and trudge through the elements without worry, so I went with the Kamik Greenbay4 instead. I would definitely recommend these to anyone who wants them for their style points. To be honest if I could justify having multiple pairs of winter boots, I would have kept them.

Love these boots. So comfortable for walking and sledding. They almost make me wish it snowed more. But shhh...don't tell the weather that!

Beautiful boot. Very true to size. Nice wide width so you can wear thick socks! I love my Sorel boots!

Yes, it is true I bought these boots in part because of their name. But I'm keeping them for their performance. My feet haven't been cold once while wearing them--and while there hasn't been much snow in Vermont, there have been plenty of days below 0. That being said, I've also worn them in the office a few days and my feet were not uncomfortably warm. Whatever the insulation is, it works!! There's plenty of room to tuck jeans into the top of the boot, even with my ginormous calves! I love having the rubber bottoms, too! I could not ask for a better boot!

Love these 'boots with the fur!' it's been a mild winter but the days I have been lucky enough to be able to use them I don't want to take them off... They keep my feet incredibly warm through frigid temps and all types of wet stuff. A little heavy, and the backs rub against my calves, but nothing socks can't help.
