Customer Reviews SOREL Joan of Arctic™ Waterproof

Too small in the toe box. Also, they smelled like mold. Love the style, but those two things do not work for me

Not for narrow feet. I love the way these look and they’re very popular in our area. They seem to be great for snow and keeping water out but my reason for returning was the soles are quite thin. I could push up in the sole with my fingers and feel it. If it walked over a rock, I could feel it. For this reason, I’d think my feet would get cold. The other reason I chose not to keep them were they were quite wide in the footbed. I have a narrow size 9 foot. They were true to size but my foot was flapping around inside and the boot just felt clunky when I walked. I need something a bit narrower for my foot. I ended up keeping the Columbia minx midi iii as it was much tighter and made for narrow feet.

The boot is beautiful and I would have given it 5 stars if I didn't have a bunion on one foot. The overall width was ok, but unfortunately the seam to the toe box went right across the bunion. A few millimeters away would have made all the difference. I do not recommend it for anyone with bunions.

Love these boots, they are so warm and comfortable!

After 12 years of owning the same pair of snow boots, this rather snowy winter had me looking for a new pair. After extensive research, I landed on these and was excited to give them a try! They seem to fit mostly true to size, as multiple sources suggest, but I do have a very narrow foot so they feel ever so slightly too big in the heel without the right socks. I wear a size 8 or 8.5 depending on the brand, so I'm glad I went with the smaller size. Multiple reviews said that they are difficult to put on and take off, and while I won't disagree, they aren't any more difficult than other mid-calf boots I have tried. I haven't worn them out in the snow yet, but they are definitely warmer than other boots I've had! Overall, I'm very happy with my purchase and will just have to make sure I buy more thick socks.

These are much better than I expected. I always thought these boots were cute, but I doubted their ability to actually keep my feet warm. The last 10 days here have been double digits below zero. I’ve worn them outside for up to an hour in those temps with nothing more than a thin sock and been fine. I was shocked how warm these were. And the added benefit of being waterproof makes them perfect. They can be hard to take off, but that’s a small price to pay for such a warm and comfortable boot. I bought my usual size 8 (I sometimes can wear a 7.5 depending on the shoe) and they fit but there isn’t any room to spare. Sometimes wonder if I should gone up a half size, but think they would be too ‘swimmy’ or wide. Happy I purchased these and would do so again in a heartbeat.

I wear a size 8.5 in almost every shoe (except Asics), these fit perfectly. I also have room to wear thick socks. Kept my feet very warm for several hours while I shoveled snow.

This boot is super warm. It is about mid-calf and easily fits my larger legs. I am glad I listened to previous reviews and sized down by a half size. Even with thick socks, there is still a bit of room.

So I very comfortable and stylish. A little tricky to pull up but TTS

I love this shoe. I ended up having to order it a 1/2 size larger. I wear 10.5, but this shoe was tight in the toes. Possibly because I was wearing thicker socks. The larger shoe came and fit perfect

Fit was true to size. With a little extra room in the toe for thick socks. Only downside is they are a little tough to get all the way on, you have to grip the sides and pull, there’s no strap. But once on there great!

Ack! What a winter we’re having here in the Midwest- so cold and snowy!! I got these gorgeous boots just in time- I need these for clomping around in the snow. The fit is right and my feet are comfortable. I haven’t been outside for extended periods of time so not sure if my feet would stay warm in these but I think they would be okay. As others have said they are a little hard to get your foot into but just loosen up all the laces down to the bottom which should help. Great investment and really cute boots!!

the boots are awesome

Comfortable, very warm boots. A little hard to get on as the ankle area is snug, but once on they will keep you very warm and dry. Great snow boots.

I have had my eye on these boots for over a year waiting for them to go on sale and FINALLY they did! I love them! There is no lining but my feet are still very warm and of course, completely dry in the winter Connecticut weather. The only reason I gave them 4 starts is that I have a bit of a hard time getting them off when the wide part of my foot get to the ankle area of the boot. It's pretty narrow but I have a wide foot anyways. But I still love them and have been wearing daily through our recent snow storms! The boot is true to size, perfect with leggings and form fitting pants, so stylish and I've gotten TONS of compliments on them. Everyone has asked what brand, their name, and where I got them. I happily share all info! Highly recommend.

Runs true to size or a little big. Really really heavy. Ordered these and Torofino in size 7.5. These fit and Torofino were small /needed a an 8 in Torofino. I’d say if you’re snowmobiling or standing at a hockey game these would be great but they’re way to heavy and clunky to use walking miles or hiking. They will definitely keep your feet warm. Order your regular size.

A little hard to get boots on and off is the only negative . They look stylish and keep my feet warm!! Love the color!

I can't tell if they're true to size, true to width and I don't know anything about arch support. I couldn't get my foot into these boots unless I removed the laces but I don't want to have to do that every time I want to wear them. I had my foot in there for about 10 seconds. They are beautiful boots and I am so, so disappointed. I'm usually a size 6.5 to 7 shoe size. I ordered these in a size 7. I am afraid to try a larger size because I wouldn't want to send them back twice. I have a high arch and my foot couldn't get past the instep because the tongue is attached to the boot where the 2nd to the top eyelets start and the tongue gets tighter as you go down and, at the instep, it is very rigid. I did not have thick socks on either. I felt like a step-sister trying to shove her foot into Cinderella's glass slipper.
