Customer Reviews SOREL Joan of Arctic™ Waterproof

Love these! Went a half size up from a 8.5 to a 9. Fit great with a standard or thick sock. So warm for MN winters!

These boots look cute on. They are pretty heavy and clunky, but I kept them since they seemed very high quality and are insulated and waterproof. I got them for playing with children in the snow.

I bought these to replace a 4 year old Joan of Arctic that finally caved to the harsh Minnesota winter. These new Joan of Arctic Sorel boots saved my feet during the -30 degree winter of 2019. And they look fabulous doing it. I've gotten so many compliments from men and women about the color and style. Men wish they made a male version of my Joan of Arctic. So if you're jonesing for a functional and fab winter boot, you arctic look at these!

This was my first pair of shoes from this brand, and I couldn't be more pleased. I bought these for my first trip to Chicago and I was so glad to have them. My feet were never cold and it was quite cold/windy while we were there. Super happy with this purchase!

Love these winter boots! These are my favorite on snowy days, so warm and stylish. I did go up a half size to make room for thicker socks.

These keep my feet very warm, dry, and cozy in deep-freeze, western NY winters. This includes slush, deep snow, sun zero temps, lake effect wind, and salty conditions. Worth every penny and I will buy a new pair when these wear out. The insert can be removed for washing, which I really like. I would suggest an insert or arch support if you need to wear them for long periods of time.

These are super cute...however, they tend to rub on your achiles heel. The fur can also look sort of awkward on the top of you have wider calves. It leaves a gap

I bought these to replace a previous style of Sorels I had that had worn out. These are plenty cute, but I liked the higher shaft on my previous pair. What brings these down from a 5 to a 4 star rating for me is these are the hardest boots to take OFF that I have ever had. I have lived my entire life in winter climates (New England & Iceland) and I have never had boots that required me to sit down to get them off before, but there’s a first for everything.

I love the snow boots. Although they are a little much to get used to. I felt they were a little bigger than what I thought. They are bulky and heavy as well. But they are very trendy for the winter snowy days.

Love these boots. The quality is phenomenal and the style looks great with anything. Wore them on ski trip and around town on rainy days. Only complaint is that feet get too hot if wear them shopping or inside unless at ski resort. Would purchase again. Lots of compliments.

The overall fit was good. I find that I need to tighten the laces around my ankles for support purposes. My feel were dry and warm during this past Chicago winter as I have a 4 block walk from train to office. I even tried them without thick socks to see how warm the boot was in the zero degree weather and these boots passed with flying colors. Great boot for the price.

I work outside in the snow and my feet were always cold until I got these boots. They are significantly heavier than my previous boots, which I feel is a negative. However, not having cold feet is a big plus. I would not use them to lead a snowshoe hike, but they are good for standing outside directing people.

Warm and stylish, one thing I found strange about these boots is that that the fur does not go around the entire boot -- there is no fur above the laces area. I took these out for a winter walk, and my feet stayed warm and dry. However I ended up with a blister on one of my heels.

Love these boots! They are very stylish and kept my feet warm and dry. They are a snow boot, and as such are not super comfy to spend the day walking in. It is a bit difficult to drive in them. I got them to wear to my kids’ outdoor games when it is wet and cold. I needed something to keep me as warm as my Ugg’s and that I could wear during/after rain and through mud. These did the trick! Would definitely recommend!

In my usual size (10.5), these were too short with thin socks. I was unable to size up due to unavailability of the next size. As far as the style goes, there is A LOT of faux fur on top; it was a bit overpowering for me but this may suit someone who is wanting to draw more attention to their footwear!

I love these boots. They keep my feet so warm and dry. If you are going to be walking long distances it could be tough because the boots are heavy.

I'll admit I was nervous to order these. Every pair or Sorels I've owned are an 8 but the reviews about the Joans say they're consistently large and wide. I have a normal-narrow foot but wanted to try these anyway since my feet area always cold (and I really had no choice because after years of wear, my old Sorel Tofino's had holes in the soles and leaked in the slush). Anyway, I ordered a 7.5 and an 8. The 7.5 felt good width wise but was too short and hurt my toes. The 8 is definitely wider but with heavy socks (which I would wear anyway because like I said, my feet are always cold), they fit nicely. I've been wearing them all winter (almost every day here in snowy upstate NY) and am so happy with my purchase!

I wear 11 and ordered 11 and size seems perfect. I have worn a few times now, and on one occasion when temp was around 4 degrees with windchill about -15 I did have cold toes. I don't know if that was boots fault or my poor circulation. Otherwise had them on outside for several hours in about 35 degrees and had no issues. The one discomfort I get with these is along the back seam. It tends to irritate my achilles area as it kind of curves and doesn't lay flat. This irritation happens mostly when I am walking around a lot. Otherwise I like having these boots for cold weather situations. I call them my Yeti's.

Great boot, however I do have one complaint that it's hard to get on. Decided to keep them because I needed them, but definitely sad that they're hard to get on.
