This is the first pair of snow boots i have ever owned and I am very very happy. they are excellent quality, warm, very functional in the snow and at the same time very fashionable. They look great on and i would even wear them in cold weather when its not snowing. Absolutely recommend it and love it! I know they will last me a long time.

I want to love Uggs but they just aren’t practical for the rain and snow. Sorel boots have stolen my heart. The Joan of Arctic are practical and SO stylish on!

Love these boots. They are very warm and just what I needed for the snow. They are waterproof and have good traction, also very cute with the fur detail.

I will start by saying that the boot is beautiful, although the "fur" does not look as nice as it does in the picture. The boot appears to be well-made and after 3 seasons they still look brand new. This is a really beautiful boot. I am so disappointed to say that these boots are so incredibly uncomfortable. At first I thought they just needed to be broken in but this is the 3rd winter I am wearing them and they are still not "broken in" and they hurt my heels with every step I take in them. They are super stiff. The only reason I still wear them is because I paid so much money for them but I only wear them to go from point A to point B and I have to carry another pair of shoes with me so I can change my shoes as soon as I get to my destination. Not ideal. I really want to love these boots but I can't.

I bought this boot for my boyfriend for Christmas (because I love my women's version so much) and they were HUGE on him - originally ordered a 10.5 mens. Ended up exchanging for a 9 and they were perfect. This is a timeless and functional boot.

These are great!! Beautiful and most importantly warm. I should have gotten a larger size to accommodate my calves. I have bigger legs and the boot loses the narrow ankle shape when my foot goes in. It makes me feel like they look bulky, but my husband and13 yr old daughter disagree. So happy with these boots

So glad I took the plunge and purchased these, right at the same time we were getting massive snow! Super warm and comfortable. These will last a lifetime!

These are really cute and have good traction in the snow. They feel a little wide at first but when I put in thicker socks they’re just right. Definitely recommend them!!

Overall the Joan of Arc is a true fit and size for me. I had to make a minor adjustment by lacing it tighter around my ankle for support, but I am a true size 8 and ordered an 8. It fits perfect. I was nervous about this given some of the reviews, but went with my gut. I was most happy with Zappos.com email when size arrives request, as I took advantage of this experience! To my delight, Zappos emailed when my size was in stock, I ordered RIGHT AWAY, and they arrived quickly! I only wish I had the Joans before the Polar Vortex but of course I wasn't outside for that nastiness!!! Thanks Zappos!

Usually I'm an 8.5 but in these boots I ordered a size 9 thinking I may want to wear a thicker sock in the winter months. The size is perfect and they were super comfortable right out of the box. I'm in a warm climate in SoCal but we went up to the mountain recently and in 33 degrees my feet felt totally warm and the grip on the sole was perfect to prevent me from slipping on ice. Highly recommend!

These boots are amazing! I bought them for my sons for our recent trip to Iceland. We were outside snowmobiling in the glaciers all day and their feet stayed warm throughout the day. I highly recommend them! Thank you Sorel!

Was looking all over the web for a new Winter Boot for my wife this winter due to the the harsh conditions so far this year. Sorel was my answer! Who thinks you have to sacrifice function over fashion? Obviously you don't know this boot! I have been a Sorel consumer myself for many years due to my occupation & what better place to look than here. This is exactly what I was looking for! Excellent quality materials inside & out for the purpose I was looking for her. I have looked at many sites, brands and styles but NOTHING comes close to what I found in this boot. This will probably be the last pair I will have to buy her as my pair have lasted me over 15 years and still wear to this day! I encourage all who read this review to look no further as well. I guarantee you will not find another Women's Winter boot that will come close! Lastly, I have posted a pic of the boots I still wear today.

I needed snow boots and I've always pined after these and finally bit the bullet when they went on sale. I ordered these in Fawn and they are BEAUTIFUL! They do fit slightly large, but it's fine because I wear thick socks to stay toasty. These are seriously perfect in the snow and I may be ordering another color.

At first it was difficult for me to walk with them but they loosened up during the day. very comfortable and protect from the cold of Chicago. Suitable for walking in snow.

Fit was great - true to size - with room for my wool socks. Like the look as well - will be fun to wear on my next winter adventure.

I'm a budgeter, I love having a budget and sticking to it, so I have a tendency of being frugal with every purchase! I have been eyeing these boots for some time, and finally decided to get them. If anything, i could return them when they came in, right? Well, without a doubt they are worth every stinkin penny :) These shoes are so comfortable, and just taking them out of the box I can tell the quality. I'm super excited to finally own them! They are waterproof and so warm as well! One of the best shoe purchases ever!!

The only reason I am not giving 5’s is because I did that with a more expensive Merrell and ended up sending them back. My initial reaction to these boots (after walking on packed-snow sidewalks in Denver) is that they are great! My last pair of Sorel boots that I purchased many years ago did not keep my feet warm. After walking for an hour in 23 degree weather, my feet were sincerely toasty warm. The new felt liners seem to work well. The only problem was that I have a relatively high arch and slipping them on and off with the elastic band that secures the felt liner was a little difficult ~ if this keeps the heat in, I can deal with that! It is my opinion that no boot is good in icy elements, however, these worked better than previous mentioned “ice” boots. I would definitely recommend.

I ONLY WORE THESE BOOTS A COUPLE OF TIMES AND THE BUTTON BROKE. TRIED TO SEND BACK AND THEY NO LONGER HAVE MY SIZE SO I WAS NOT ABLE TO EXCHANGE. VERY CUTE BUT UPSET THAT I CAN NOT REPLACE WITH ANOTHER PAIR.

This boot is cute but most of all so very warm. I live in New England and wearing in Park City for ski trip and love them. The fit feels a little big. Ordered 7.5 could have gone with 7 but there is ample toe space and room for heavy socks. Perfect cold weather boot.
