Customer Reviews SOREL Joan of Arctic™ Waterproof

I had been without winter boots for an entire cold season and it absolutely killed my feet. Being a Michigan native, not having snow boots is signing yourself up for ice cold toes and misery. Also, being a college student, I spend/spent a lot of time in my day commuting to and from class in freezing cold weather. Needless to say, it sucked. This year I wanted to buy myself some really nice boots that would actually last multiple years and were as cute as they were functional. Enter the Joan of Arctic boot! First of all, let me say, I LOVE these boots. They come up most of my calf so they keep my legs as well as my feet warm and cozy whether I wear thin socks or thick ones. I am the type that doesn't avoid the snow when I walk around so the fact that they are waterproof is a huge plus! I am normally a size 8 1/2, but i bought a 9 just to be sure I could double up on socks if I needed to and the boots do seem to run true to size. If you're still considering buying these boots, I would highly suggest it! I love them and they definitely do their job!

I bought these boots Winter of 2016. I had been wanting them for several years, due to very cold Chicago winters. Well, I didn't have to wear them too much because of the mild winter. So I wore them maybe 3 times that winter, and the following winter also a handful and last winter more than the previous two. That first winter, I noticed right away, that they leaked. My feet were wet, and cold. Even with Dr scholls inserts, they are cold and wet if there is a lot of snow and slush. I haven't bought new boots since these were 200 bucks. My feet are freezing right now and all i did was walk out of the house and drive to work. Please be aware. The boots say waterproof on them, and all the getup on them makes them look warm, but it's a farce.

Just came back from my trip to a below zero country. The boots kept my feet warm and was able to stay outdoor longer. True to size and very comfy.

These boots are adorable for walking around town, waterproof, good for 30 degree weather. Make sure to wear proper mix calf socks thick enough to prevent ankle blisters. There is a thick edged solid glue seam located near ankle inside of the boot shell that will easily tear up your ankles.

Shoveled snow today. 7 inches. Was out for 1 hour and could not feel my toes. 12 degrees. Terrible. Shoveled yesterday twice. 23 degrees. Feet were fine. Today I wore 2 pair wool socks and it did not help. They are cute but clunky. Size 8 true to size maybe big in heal.

I had been looking for a new winter boot for about a year and had my eye on the Joan of Arctic. I got them for Christmas this year and am so happy with them. I live in Utah and spend a lot of time in the mountains both in Utah and Idaho. This winter we have gotten a ton of snow and there has been some bitterly cold days. These boots are so comfortable, warm and waterproof. The height is great for keeping my legs warmer and for shoveling and walking around in deep snow. My only qualm is that they run big. I am normally a 7.5 but had to size down to a 7. I may even be able to fit into a 6.5 but I wanted room for thick socks. Overall though, if you size down a half size, they are great boots! I would recommend them to anyone!
