Customer Reviews SOREL Joan of Arctic™ Waterproof

I've wanted a pair of Joan of the Arctics for years! When I saw these last fall, I knew they were the ones. I love the black suede and gold hardware with the contrasting sandy colored fur, the boots are neutral but these cool details make them look really special. I wore them for the first time for an entire day of walking around, running errands, getting dinner, etc. and they we comfortable from start to finish--no breaking in necessary! In terms of sizing, I have a few pairs of Sorels in different sizes, but decided to go with my true size (11) in these. If I were to wear a thick wool sock, they would probably feel snug in the toe, but fortunately that's not necessary with the liner and my somewhat warmer mid-East Coast winters. Overall, I love the comfort and style of these boots, and I'm so glad I finally got them. Highly recommend!

Love the look of these boots! Can't wait to wear them on our ski vacation! Fit snug and yet roomy. I have a wide foot and they feel good.

This boot is a cute warm option for tough winter weather. Observations: When I first picked up the boot I was surprised at how heavy it was. They are very warm and thickly insulated. Something I would change in the appearance would be to make the toe area less bulky looking- I prefer a more delicate feminine look especially for my larger shoe size. I had to return because I was hoping the 8.5 would fit (as it does half the time for me) and 9 was not available. They were definitely too small and I wasn't event wearing winter socks at the time.

I live in New England. We've had some big snowstorms this year and these boots have exceeded my expectations! They're warm, lightweight and extremely comfortable! Worth every penny.

These are true to size and width. Love that they are waterproof AND keep my feet toasty warm. Definitely worth it!

Love these! But I had to go a full size larger than what I normally wear. First got the 6.5 then tried the 7 and finally settled with the 7.5

love these boots! bought them for cold Boston winters and they have treated me well. My foot never feels wet or cold and I love how tall they are to keep out snow. would definitely recommend!

These boots are exactly what I wanted. Looked great and kept my feet warm.

Bought these for my daughter this winter with the hope that they will last many winters- I think they will! They're well made and waterproof even through many hours of sledding. They're also very cute snow boots!

ran a touch big (abt a half size) but a great boot that definitely kept my feet warm!

The cutest and warmest snow boots I've ever owned! I generally have to buy wide calf boots, but these fit great!

After wearing the same pair of snow boots (that were my absolute favorite) since 2008, I decided it was time to upgrade. I am so glad that I did! The Sorel Joan of Arctic boots are incredibly comfortable, cozy, and cute. These will be the perfect boots for getting around on snowy days and will even fit into my snowshoes when I feel like getting out into the mountains. So far, I am really happy with the warmth, tread, and waterproof features of these boots. I will caution others: the fur on top will make these boots not suitable for tromping through super high snow, but if you throw a pair of gators on they would probably be just fine.

Several customers commented that these boots run big, and a few said they run small. I was surprised to find that they also ran small for me, and I have narrow, flat feet. The only time I ever wear a size 7.5 is when I buy Asics. Otherwise I am always a 7. I had to return the pair of size 7s for 7.5 because my toes were right up against the front without socks on. Other than the sizing issue, I am very happy with them.

Love my new boots! I've been looking into purchasing these boots for some time so I was glad to find a good price for these on Zappos. They are warm and very waterproof after about an hour walking in/shoveling snow. I'm usually a size 7.5 or 8 with a narrow foot, and I'm glad I went with the 7.5. They fit great with room for thicker socks. I'm usually iffy about the look and feel fake fur accents but these look so cute and seem like they will hold up after time.

Love these boots!! Originally ordered a 10.5 because of previous reviews stating they run big, however I need the size 11. Very comfortable and super cute style

Warm and stylish. I love these, they are a bit klunky but they keep my feet warm in the snow and go with everything I wear.

Super comfortable, warm, water-proof and cute!

Awesome shoes. Very comfortable.

These are beautiful and super warm. I initially thought the 7 was too small (and I'm pretty much a true 7, sometimes 6.5 in heels, sometimes 7.5 in ballet slippers), so returned and got the 7.5. Then I realized the 7 was actually fine, got another one ordered and of course Zappos was great through this whole process. No worries with returning and figuring out the size. Now the style is gorgeous. I have the North Face Arctic Parka in NWB and the gray in these boots is so cute and goes great with the coat. I tried the black Joan of Arctic as well, but really loved the gray more. It's just adorable!!!! Warm them inside last night and my feet were on fire. This is great for me as I have reynaud's and my feet are always freezing. Looking forward to wearing them outdoors to walk the dogs and just around in general. The only negative thing is that since they are so tall, it's harder to bend your foot so for walking around town/hiking a shorter pair might be easier.

I cannot rate these for their suitability in snow, yet. In east TN, we don't get snow frequently enough that I suspect these will get a ton of use. But, we have it enough that the days we do, I regret not owning snow boots. These fit very true to size, seem to be of very good quality. They are comfortable, look expensive, and are super adorable.

These hit the mark. They have been my daily go-tos since I received them. They keep my feet warm walking on ice, are relatively easy to get on and off and have good tread. I put a pair of YakTrax on them and I am invincible! I agree with other reviewers that these run a little big if you are in the fence.

I wanted a stylish pair of boots for the winter months and to travel with when skiing. These boots have been great so far and I love how they incorporate fashion into a boot. I did have to go a half size large than I do normally in boots. Ordered a 10.5 but had to go to an 11 and might I add their exchange process is amazing with Zappos! So easy and my other boots arrived the next day! I was able to wear these boots today in Colorado and they were awesome! Thanks Zappos team for always having great customer service and being accommodating to your customers.

Wanted to love these boots but they had a tight fit around the ankle. It was hard to push my foot down into the foot bed. I may try a larger size.

Super cute boots, but practical as well. I live in Wisconsin and they work great in the snow! Also have gotten many compliments on them. Definitely thinking of getting another pair in a different color!
