Customer Reviews SOREL Joan of Arctic™ Waterproof

LOVE these boots but I am returning them for 2 reasons: 1. I live in the South and it just doesn't get cold enough, often enough, to justify the money. 2. They are very difficult to get on/off but once they are on, they feel great!

I live on Cape Cod by the National Seashore. These boots are great for walking on cold windy days on the beach or running errands. They very warm stylish boots. Can't wait for the snow to fly

This is a beautiful boot. A little wider and a little larger than sized for me. I love the thick felt boot lining. It's wonderful. There is no way your foot could get cold in these boots. The faux fur. Needs to be adjusted when you take it out of the box but looks wonderful after you're finished. I ordered the Quarry. It's a boot that would look great with your pant leg tucked inside. I have some issues with my back and although they aren't really "heavy" I decided to go with the Trivoli High II because they're lighter. They too are beautiful.

I love these boots! I originally ordered them in an 8, by normal size, but ended up needing to get an 8.5. I have loved a pair of insulated Bogs for winter, in large part because they are so easy to slip on, so I was concerned that these might be cumbersome. I was so pleasantly surprised at the ease of slipping them on, and even though I'd want to re-lace them for any serious time out in the snow, I felt like I could probably leave them laced loosely for quick outings. I ordered them in the gray and think they are beautiful.

Absolutely LOVE these boots!! I felt a little guilty spending so much on them but once they got here and I saw the quality I was so glad I bought them. Comfortable, cute and very warm.

These are very cute but are a bit clunky to walk in.

Great boot! They looked like men's when I got them so I doubled checked. Just a tad bulky, but we're perfect for snow and slush. They are heavy... Will work those calf muscles. They are also SUPER warm. Great for heavy snow and long periods in the cold.

These are great boots. They kept my feet warm snow tubbing in a blizzard. They are very comfortable and they look great. I do not know how I have went this long in life without them. They are pretty much true to size. They run slightly on the larger side. I love them.

Love these boots. Based on the reviews I went a half size down only for my toes to touch the front. I then ordered my normal size and they fit perfectly! Can't wait until we get some snow to have an excuse to wear them outside. They have a super cozy lining too. Soo happy I purchased them!

I love these boots! Nicest boots I have ever seen. They are so warm! The sizing is perfect, I am a 9.5 to 10 depending on the shoe and 9.5 is perfect. It has been snowing and cold, these boots keep my feet hot! I just hope they last for a long time.

I purchased these boots a week ago and we are having gorgeous weather in Michigan so I cannot comment on how these boots are in the elements, but I can comment on other things. First of all, Zappos fantastic customer service and shipping policy enabled me to try the 6.5 and the 7. I am 50/50 between those sizes and the reviews said they are true to size but wide. I wore them both around the house for a week and the decided on the 6.5. My original instinct was to go with the 7. However, after trying them on several days in a row, I decided that the 6.5 were easier to walk in and my toes do not rub against the front of the shoe. At first they did, but this quickly changed... Even with a thick wool sock. After a while, the roomier 7's felt clunkier, heavier, and more awkward. I also noticed that since the 6.5 fit a little snugger they did not rub as much when I walked. Lacing them tighter also helps reduce rubbing at the ankles. I have a high arch and was pleasantly surprised at the level of support. I like that the tongue is gusseted all the way... The tongue only reaches to high mid calf but that would do in 8 inches of snow. I know it will sound strange, but I can't say enough about how nice the laces are! I thought I might not like the lack of a zipper, but the laces are a really nice smooth comfortable quality that makes it really easy to lace and loosen them as well as cinch the laces tight. This probably gives the boots a better seal and one less stiff thing to rub on your ankle. And since it is so easy to loosen the laces it is pretty easy to get them on and off. I am really confident that I am going love these boots. They have become more and more comfortable as I have worn them around the house AND they look great! I had bought a pair of Merells that had a zipper and only partially gusseted tongue last year when these were not available... I took them to Good Will today...

Love these boots...great fit, keeps my feet warm and dry in deep snow...and a classy looking style.

I am probably the most picky shoe buyer. I have a high arch and slightly wide foot. I love these boots! I wear them with complete comfort! They are a little hard to get on at first but that may be due to my high arch, but I love these boots!

Comfortable, warm and look good. Worth the money. Used for walking the dog, shoveling snow and running errands. I have a high instep and the boots are a little snug getting on/off. Problem solved by loosening the laces all the way down the front.

These boots are super warm, comfortable for standing or walking in the cold, and cute! Only problem is that when I wore them inside for 2 hours my feet got a little sweaty. Not a terrible problem to have for a winter boot!

This boot right here is the best. I got the last one available in her size. They definitely go quick. If you're thinking to get them, get them because next time you see them they will be sold out!

I love these boots! I have been reading the reviews and have been thinking about getting them for 3 years. I should have bought them 3 years ago! They are made really well and the leather is amazing quality. Even the shoestrings are great quality! When I first tried them on them seemed a little stiff in the shaft area but after wearing them around the house for s hour it had softened the shaft without any sagging or wrinkling of the materials. I have a part time job at a school and on the rainy, cold days I'm not freezing because of wet feet anymore! I have to do a lot of walking and there is enough comfort, which you don't get with a traditional rain boot, or the warmth. The faux fur is a nice though and I have gotten so many compliments on these beauties! I got the all black, so they match with everything. If you are hesitant, don't wait 3 years like I did!

After 20 years of my LL Bean boots toughing it out through the Chicago winter, I decided it was time for a new pair. The color of these boots is beautiful! Really well insulated - no cold comes up through the bottom. I haven't been able to test the rubber sole in the Chicago slush but the rubber does come all the way over the top to protect your foot from dirty puddle water.

These boots are great for our cold and snowy winter. These boots are great for anyone spending time outside.

These boots are so warm and cozy. I wore them to a theme park where I had to do a lot of walking and they didn't bother me at all. I thought they would because they are so heavy.

I have been looking at these boots for years. I finally bought them for myself instead of asking Santa for them. Sometimes you need to take a little initiative, right? I live in Wisconsin and winters get crazy, but I also wanted a boot that was not completely offensive in the looks department. I inhabit a place where "blaze orange" is a fashion line, and I would like to wear something that is functional and warm but not something that my father would compliment me on. I finally ordered them, and I have to say that I adore them. They are incredibly warm (it has been 5 degrees here for the last week) and they keep snow out of the boot when you're brushing your car off (another concern). I have received many compliments and I am very happy with them. Two points to consider--I am 9.5 and I ordered a 9.5. The toes are a little snug. They are so warm so I do not feel the need to wear super thick socks, but it would be a squeeze if I chose to. They are also not the best on ice--I would like a little more traction on the bottom of the boot. Other than that, they are a functional winter accessory that I love to put on in the morning.

These are some gorg boots! So warm and cozy! I'd order a whole size down though these run large! These are my 2nd pair. goodbye Uggs!

These are the practical while still pulling off stylish. Although they are not my "real" winter boots (I live in Minnesota and these are not warm enough despite their -25F rating, the comfort rating is probably right around zero degrees) I wear them everywhere but work. Totally love them.

Love this boot. Size runs big. I wear a 7.5 in all boots and need a 7 and will need to wear thick socks. Warm, comfy and love the look very classy looking winter boot.
