I'm writing this review because I relied a lot on other reviews, so I want to help out if you have sizing questions. My foot is medium to narrow width, I have a high arch, and I wear a 9 in hiking boots, running shoes, etc. I can wear an 8.5 in dress shoes and sandals. I never need a 9.5. This boot is different. Though the 9 "fit", it was definitely too short, and my toes felt crowded inside that thick felt liner especially with socks on. My toes FREEZE at the slightest cold, and I need warm socks to fit inside the boots. I needed the 9.5 to accommodate socks and length. I plan to wear them in the snow, at 8,000 feet, at a ski cabin, and playing in the snow with my grandchildren. Not walking to and from a car. Good luck finding the right size. These are great, cute boots, but I haven't tried them in the winter yet. I just bought them in April because my toes froze last winter.

I think these are very nice boots. My problem is that I have wider feet and these were a bit narrow for me. Probably will not be a problem for others.

I was very excited to buy these boots but the turn from the neck of the boot down to the foot area is so incredibly narrow that I actually thought something was caught - I couldn't get my foot into them even after a few tries so had to return them. A bit disappointing.

I had the Tofino II boots for 5 years before they fell apart and were no longer warm or waterproof. They were the best boots I ever had so I came back to order another Sorel pair. I thought I'd try a different style this time so I ordered the Joan of Arctic. MUCH different fit. These are huge everywhere, very wide, and so clunky that I couldn't even walk in them. Really disappointed.

My review is for people who have thicker or muscular thighs. These boots look super cute when the person wearing them can lace the boots up tight enough that the faux fur looks like it goes all the way around the mid calf with no gaps, super cute. I’m not that person. I wish they included the faux fur on the tongue of the boot but they didn’t so I really just look like I’m ready to fly away with these gigantic fur wings mid calf. Aside from that, they’re comfortable and fit nicely.

I saw someone wearing these and wanted them so my search for them began. I told my daughter about them and she said she has a pair of super warm Sorel snow boots that she loves - it turned out it was these! I'm looking forward to lots of snow, albeit next winter, so I can wear them.

Fit perfect with room for thicker socks. Haven’t worn them in the snow yet to test the warmth. Hope they don’t disappoint

They are beautiful and warm. I went a half size smaller than measured, but I could have gone a full size smaller. Little bulky but amazing in the snow. Recommend to everyone.

I wear a 7 so I bought a 7....I also always wear socks with my footwear (except sandals) so I didn’t have issues with smells like some others have. They are stylish and I don’t feel like a basic broad like when I wear my Ugg’s . They keep my feet toasty during my SoCal winter (it sometimes gets to 40’s at night and that’s cold for SoCal natives). I recommend if you want something that’s a bit different and way more stylish.

Unbelievably comfortable! Have wanted a pair of Sorel's for a long time. Absolutely worth it and will be buying more in the future.

These Boots are absolutely beautiful! Unfortunately, with delivery of parcels being what it is during a pandemic, I just received them here in march. They look very warm and comfortable but I will have to do a true test drive next winter. I'm expecting good things. They are a bit of a struggle to get on but I like a snug fit.

Unfortunately I returned these bc I could not see them keeping my feet warm. The sole is very thin-I could feel the floor through them. These also ran small-for me I would need to upsize by half a size.

Love Thea boots but buy 1/2 size plus up. I have a high arch on one foot and couldn't get my foot in on that foot and with fur snug fit so go bigger! Really nice and cute but need to be able to get in and out easier with that harder rubber base.

I haven't really had a chance to put these to a real test yet but they are very comfortable.The fake fur leaves a bit to be desired which is why I only gave 4 stars. I might try to take it off since right out of the box it looked old and matted. If I had paid full price I'm not sure I would have kept these boots

Love sorels. Been a customer for over 10years. Love these boots! Size up if ur between sizes. Keeps toes and legs super warm. Boot is heavy-not for hikes unless you want extra resistance. Perfect to slip on to take kids to school. Waterproof, so perfect to wear on rainy days as well. I researched sorels, llbean, ugg, hunter, columbia, timberland, Merrell , keen and lands end. I came to the conclusion sorels are the best for the money for cold, northeast winter days.

Lacing provides great support. Higher on calf gives warmth and protection from deeper snow.

Pleased with purchase. Ordered a size 12, true to size. Worked well in the late season major snowfall. Not the greatest with arch support, but unsurprising in a snow boot.
