Customer Reviews SOREL Joan of Arctic™ Waterproof

Love these boots!! I have had my eye on these boots for a while. I finally decided to purchase them before a ski trip. They are not only cute but they are also very comfortable. They kept my feet dry even in deep snow. Sorel has sizing instructions that I recommend you follow. I am usually between an 8 and an 8 1/2 so I ordered the 8 1/2. I am glad I did. I walked a lot and they were comfortable and kept my feet warm. My toes had a little extra room but it left space to wear thick socks and who wants tight snow boots? Very pleased with this purchase!

I had read many MANY many reviews from multiple sites because, well...online shopping...on the Joan of arctic and the tofino II trying to decide on which to buy. I couldn’t decide because both had so many back and forth reviews. I bought both and ended up returning the Tofino II not because they weren’t comfortable or cute, they were both. The Tofinos were very light and fit almost like a sneaker instead of a boot, they had a very sleek design, they were water resistant but not waterproof (the shaft...full rubber sole and toe ) they were categorized as light snow or light rain which wasn’t what I was really looking for since I already have hunters and bean boots for that, but I was concerned about the JOA because people said they were heavy and bulky, hard to walk in and hard to get on and off, so if that was the case I would have went with the tofino even if they weren’t listed as a waterproof heavy snow boot because the tofino were very light and extremely easy to slip on and off...the JOA I did not find to be heavy or bulky at all, for reference they are lighter then my hunter original talls, they also are shorter ( then hunters ) in the shaft for those who are concerned, I am 5’5” and they hit about a 1/4 inch higher then mid-calf, I haven’t had an issue taking them off or putting them on, I always loosen the laces and they go on and off fine. I bought my true size and think they fit perfectly...enough room for thick socks but not too big with your average cotton sock either. That perfect in-between. But they are definitely a snow boot, they look like a snow boot, if you’re looking for something more for cold weather and not snow, the Tofino II would definitely hit the mark since it’s a little bit more of a sleek design, but something for going out in the snow and keeping your feet and calves warm, whether it’s shoveling your driveway, playing with your kids or strolling around at the ski resort, these are a great boot.

I originally bought a size 8 in these for a Christmas present knowing the size of other sorel boots she owned.She felt they ran a half size small so we exchanged them for an 81/2 They are perfect and she is ready for Minnesota's winter! Thank you for great delivery!

These boots are so comfortable! Not only are they comfortable, but they are so cute! They also do a great job of keeping my feet warm. I bought the same size that I regularly wear and they fit perfectly. I anticipate getting lots of wear out of these in the coming years! I love the white fur and how they look a little more dressy than a clunky, winter boot!

They are a little heavy but great boots and I love them!

My go to boots for kids hockey games and skiing!! I was worried about getting these until a friend purchased them and said they were super comfy. She was right! They are super comfy and not at all hard to get on and off. I will definitely look at getting a shorter pair as well! I love them!

These boots are super cute and comfortable! True to size and fit well. I agree with previous comments that you should purchase in your normal size. They are meant to be a little spacious to keep your feet warm.

I had tried these on in Costco and the 10 was so hard to get on, my toes felt cramped and it was just an over-all bad fit. After reading other reviews I decided to go with the 10 when I ordered from Zappos and they are perfect- so warm and plenty of space. I love them!

Love the look of these boots! I have had my eye on them for a long time, but only recently pulled the trigger as this color went down in price. They are so comfortable, and feel really warm. I have hears they are water proof too, perfect for the snow! (hasn't snowed since I received them yesterday so I cant confirm yet!)…

Fit is great! So comfy and warm. Love the color. Can’t wait to try them in the snow!

I absolutely love the Joan of Arctic Sorrel boot! It's the warmest, driest, most stylish winter boot you can find! I just decided to go with black instead of grey.

Very cute and comfortable boot, would be good for outdoor winter activities. My daughter chose the Ugg Adirondack instead because she decided that a boot that wasn't so tall would go with more of her outfits. And she didn't need it for deep snow.

This is a big statement boot and you have to really appreciate that about it or it's not for you. Seemed well made and very warm. Liked the fact that you could take out the felt liner and "fur". The broadness of the toe made me wonder if I could drive a car easily. It's challenging to get in and out of so didn't work for me as an everyday kind of winter boot. Seemed best if you were in a very cold climate all winter or just used it for snow days. I returned it and bought the Sorel Tivoli, shorter with easy on off and great style.
