Customer Reviews SOREL Joan of Arctic™ Waterproof

Great boot! I love Sorel! Waterproof is terrific! It is definitely wide fitting, but I still took my original size - do not need to go up. There is just room for your toes. I think they will be very warm boots, which is great because I just need something for the cold winter months.

Very cute boots that are well made. The only problem is, they are not comfortable for my slightly wide foot. They say they run "true to size", so I bought my usual 6.5, but they were tight around the shovel of my foot. Comfort is important when your feet are tired from skiing, or when you're walking through the snow. If Sorel offered a wide width, I think they'd sell quickly. Sadly, I had to return.

This is a well-made beautiful boot, with heavy laces, nice suede, and thick rubber bottoms. The only problem is, they are not comfortable. The length seems right, but they are narrow in the shovel of my foot. I have wider than normal feet, so I was going to go up 1/2 size for comfort, but the AI on the Zappos site said they did not recommend size 7, and they recommended size 6.5 (based on my past orders I guess). So, I ordered the 6.5 and they were tight. When I take off my ski boots to put these on, I want them soft, comfortable and cozy, and these are not, so I will be returning them. I should also add they have no arch support, so might not be good for walking long distances. They are very cute, so I might recommend them for narrower feet.

I purchased my first Sorel boots over 10 years ago (Cate the Great). Cate the Great unfortunately seems to have been discontinued but I wore them during Snow-mageddon in Seattle, WA. It was definitely easier to walk to where to where you needed to go in my neighborhood. These Joan of Arctic boots are *almost* as cute. But I'm also really liking some of the new details like the tongue that is the same material and color as the rest of the boot and attached, so that snow doesn't get in from the side and there's no need for re-centering. I also wear these in the rain since the bottom "shoe" portion is rubber and the footbed is comfortable and warm. When walking in the rain in the fall/winter, the streets are freezing and uninsulated boots are freezing (you might as well be bare foot). I did the Hunters with the fleece sock liners and it wasn't enough. If you're only in and out in the rain/snow, that's different. Something so "heavy duty" may be a bit much.

I love Sorel boots (great out east and PNW). My first purchase was a pair of Cate the Great boots, which Sorel doesn't make anymore. The only thing I didn't love was that the tongue kept shifting. That is solved in this Joan of Arctic pair. It still has the faux fur that comes out of the top and the waterproof "shoe portion". The thing that really surprised me when the boots arrived was how perfectly it fit. I am a true 5.5 and I had ordered a size 6. I won't be wearing these with thicker socks like I used to. Instead it will be a zero cushion wool sock.

Warm and Stylish boots! Sized 1/2 size up. They are a little heavy for all day use .

So far so good. Keeps my toes warm at the dog park.

The boots are great, they just don't have enough tread for my needs. Regretfully I have to return them.

The boots are very comfortable and light considering the style (I was afraid they would be too stiff and heavy, but the are not). However, they do come off a bit on the heel and I am afraid that the fiction could cause pain as you walk around, so I will have to return. I did not care for the fur on top, I thought that was a bit too much - but this is certainly personal.

I have flat feet and these didn’t feel like they would give me the support I need for extended wear throughout the day.

I returned because it was too small. Reordered a 7.5, I usually wear a 7 but was a little nervous about getting the 8... The boot was warm, felt great and I liked the sheepskin liner as opposed to all the fluffy ones. I would feel better if I received the notice stating they acknowledge my return...
