Reviewed at Sorel
I bought 2 pairs -- one tobacco / one black -- love them both! I've had Sorels in the past that were too narrow -- not these. Easy and comfortable to wear out in the snow. I actually didn't find them too bulky to wear inside when I forgot my shoes. The lace up provides a nice snug fit and room at the foot to accommodate thicker socks. Fur around trim helps avoid any rubbing. Highly recommend for cold days and snow wear. Shoe size was actually true to fit -- if anything I'd order a little bigger??

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!

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.

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.

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!

Living in Northern Michigan, you need warm winter boots if you want to enjoy 1/3 of the year. We hike all winter, snow shoe, shovel a lot of snow, go out and play with the dog, and shoot photo/videos for work outside - so I definitely felt like this was a good investment. I've been out on some really cold 3 degree days for hikes, and while the rest of my body was froze, my feet were still moving. The fur isn't going to keep all the snow out, I think some people have commented on that - but it does look great. I absolutely love the look of these boots. One of the best things about Sorel's is that if you get the liners wet from deep snow (or falling in an ice fishing hole haha, i'm only kidding) - you can take the liners out to dry. The only time i could imagine these boots not being warm is if you're trying to use them with wet liners.

Very stylish, warm boot!! As other reviews mentioned they do run a little large. I ordered a half size smaller and they fit great...had plenty of room for a thick sock. They are a bit on the chunky side compared to other Sorel boots and I felt like they made my feet look really wide but other than that they were a good purchase.

These are very nice looking and well made roomy winter boots. I bought two pairs, one for my daughter and one for me. We are both a solid size 7 and we both were uncomfortable with the sizing and returned them for a full size up. Our experience was while the width had plenty of room in both sizes our toes were uncomfortably close to the end which surprised me based on all of the reviews I read. They worked out quite well for a wintry, snowy, icy vacation and I suspect I'll have them forever!

This snow boot is heavy but cute and functional. My feet were dry and warm in the snow. My regular shoe size is a 7.5 and I ordered a 7.5. Fit perfectly but no room for heavy socks.

It snows maybe twice a year in Richmond, Va but I had to have these boots. They were just too cute. We had our first snow last week and I got to play outside for a bit with my 2-year-old son. They kept my feet toasty and were very comfortable. I wear a 6.5 and ordered a 6.5 and they fit perfectly. I had room enough to wear a winter sock. I did notice that walking through my garage to get into my house, that I could feel that the concrete was colder than walking through snow. Not a deal breaker, certainly still felt warm enough.
