I needed a boot for the MN deep winter and this is one a few boots I could find that will keep my toes warm when I'm out for extended periods of time.
The lace up style allows those with more athletic calves to still wear the tall boot. Though the tounge of the boot does not fully pull out...so it can still be a little challenging getting your foot down and in...but not as challenging as other tall boots in the long a plus this way of designing makes sure snow stays out rather than coming in.
Pretty design, but wish the pulls on the side were functional rather than decorative pulls that are snapped on. The first time I put the boots on I tried to use them pulls and the snaps quickly came undone.
Otherwise they are really nice boots.

Bought a half size up as my usual wouldn’t have accommodated bulky socks. Much more comfortable!

I've had my eye on Joan of Arctic boots since about 2009 so I set about to try to replace them with cheaper imposters figuring I'd save some cash and still look cool. While I did save cash, those knockoffs were terrible. They fell apart or were terribly uncomfortable and so finally, in 2018, I bought the real things. They're heavy and sturdy, and while I normally wear 8.5-9, I bought 9s and they do feel a little roomy. When I walk, my foot moves around inside the boot and my narrow feet don't take up all that much space inside the boot BUT I love them. My feet are warm, they look great, and the construction is so solid. Haven't tested them out in slippery weather or long walks yet, but looking forward to it.

I love these boots. I've worn them to run errands a few times, and do things around the house, and they're comfortable. I have very sensitive skin, and I haven't had an issue with them rubbing my ankles.
I have a high arch, and they are easier to get on if you really loosen the laces.
I purchased the size I wear in all other shoes, and they fit great, but also have room for wool socks.
They're warm, but not too warm, and they don't feel too heavy.
I absolutely love them!

This is a beautiful boot, very comfortable. The fit is just right for my size 9 foot and I am pleased with the lovely brown cattail color I chose. Our weather pattern in Niagara Falls often has snow one day and rain the next, so I am adding boots that have a sturdy rubber base to get thru the sloshy parts of the season. I am very happy with my purchase,

So I am loving these boots! They are true to size, but leave enough room to wear a nice warm pair of thick socks. I've never owned a pair of snow boots like these and they come off bulky, but when you put them on, they are just right! They are easy to get on & off as well. Very cute and I think stylish. I'm sure these will keep my feet nice and dry when out during a snow and/or rainstorm. Definitely a winner in my book!

I bought a 10.5. I’m usually a 10. I wanted to make sure I had room for thick socks. The 10.5 is perfect. These boots are super warm and comfortable. They are a bit clunky, but they’ll keep my feet dry and they still look cute.

Warm, cute snow boot. Haven't had the opportunity to wear these in snow yet. I feel that the size and width are normal, but they fit very loose around the ankle area/top of foot near ankle. My foot doesn't seem to slip while wearing them though.

This is a very heavy boot and you must wear long socks with them. But they are going to be perfect for those cold Iowa winters!!

I have wanted to buy these for 2 years and finally got them. Zappos had the 25% off sale for Black Friday so I saved $50! They are warm, comfortable and cute and I have already received compliments on them. Very happy with this purchase!

I ordered two pairs on Black Friday as I wasn’t sure which color I wanted. The Major/Black ones fit true to size. The Quarry pair fit tight and I had a hard time getting my foot in them as others have suggested. I think it is just a fluke thing as they were both the same size. I had also tried a pair on previously in a sporting goods store to help determine that the size I needed to order. I can’t wait to use these during our cold Iowa winters. I will be returning the grey ones due to the fit but they are a great neutral color.

Tried these on at DSW and loved how warm and comfortable they were. Unfortunately the size 11 (my normal size) was too small. Zappos to the rescue.
Chicago winters are no joke (I work in the loop) and the height of these boots is perfect for walking through high plowed snow mounds and/or playing in the snow with the kids.
Don’t understand why people hate on these boots. They get the job done. They are tall, warm and they aren’t hard to get on. Any shoe is hard to put on if you don’t unlace it first ??
Your feet may look big in them but they are boots!
If you like them, buy them. I’m satisfied with my purchase.

These are beautiful boots. They are very warm and stylish, and I know from past experiences with Sorrel that they will keep me toasty for many years to come. I did feel like the sizing was a bit strange. I ordered the 8 and 8.5, and while the 8.5 felt a bit big I couldn't even get my foot into the size 8! I settled on the 8.5 since my orthodic takes up some space, and ultimately they feel great on my feet. I highly recommend these boots, but definitely try on a few sizes!
