Customer Reviews SOREL Joan of Arctic™ Waterproof

Cute boots! But I couldn't even get my ankle in them... I even had my daughter try them on because we were the same size she couldn't get her ankle in them either. So going up a size would do no good.

These boots keep your feet and calves nice and warm even on extremely cold days. Easy to fit boot leg jeans in them and still very comfortable.

I have a lot of Sorel shoes. This is my first pair of this style. I had a very hard time getting these shoes on. I had to change into thin socks and really pull as hard as I could. They are super tight around the ankle as your foot is going in. Once they are on, they fit good. They are true to size and warm. They are a little wider than I would have liked. They make my feet look wider than normal. I loved the style and warmth of the boot so much that I kept them. I just wear thin socks when I wear these. Not sure if I received a faulty pair, or if all of them are manufactured with a tight ankle upon entry.

Just got these and tested them out a weekend in Upper Michigan where it was single digit temps and they kept my feet pretty warm. Also held up snowshoeing and sledding. So far I love them! I usually wear a 9 and sized up to 9.5 to leave room for thick socks.

Love my Sorels and it was time for a new pair. The laces really need to be loosened in order to get on, but then super comfy. And warm!! Size is good, maybe a touch snug, but I know the felt will wear in for a perfect fit for years to come. Only glitch, the loops I use for pulling on/up the boots are snaps and come unsnapped with the pulling. Make them loops, not snaps please.

Purchased these for a more stylish option to wear out and about vs. my winter cammo hunting boots. Upon first opening the box, the boots were difficult to pull on. All I had to do was loosen all the laces and then adjust them to what I was wearing...thick or thin socks, leggings or denims, etc. After tying the laces and doing a 1-2 minute walk, the laces are adjusted again for a perfect fit...no rubbing, soreness, irritation. Ordered 1/2 size up than I normally wear and had no issues with the boots being too loose. At the other end of the spectrum, my toes are not crammed either. The boots are cute and lace adjusted to my needs. The boots are also warm. I have worn them in -7 degrees Fahrenheit for 7 miles and had no issues. ( I also wore wool socks). To remove the boots, I simply loosened all the laces to avoid tugging or pulling. Cute option to my hunting boots. Acceptable traction for boots which are not specifically hunting boots!

I love these boots. I love the look of them! They do take some time to break in though. The back of the boot, above the heel rubs and it hurts. I've tried loosening them and even wearing thick socks and it still hurts. I hope they soften up a bit. Other than walking long distances in them, they're amazing! Super cute!

Struggled to get foot in past ankle once on was ok. Just don’t see taking 15 minutes to get on and had to have pulled off. Live the look

I couldn’t get my foot into this boot. It’s very narrow in the ankle area. I love the look of them but it’s not worth the struggle to me. I can’t speak to the fit because I never actually got them on.
