My husband bought these for me for christmas and they are everything and then some. Quality is unsurpassable. They are on the heavier side but to me that indicated quality material used. The are absolutely waterproof. Attractive. I love them. Just what I need living in the northeast

I have had this version boot for 5 years and love it. I am disappointed because while I love the color and look of this boot, the foot and ankle part of it is way too wide. It looks like a woman's boot on top and a man's wide boot on the botttom. This leaves too much room for the foot.
I am so sorry to have to return these.

I wear a 9.5 to 10 usually, so ordered the 10 to be able to wear thick socks with them. I have a semi- wide foot, and these were too narrow, even at the larger size.

I always wear a 7 but my toe was touching the end of the boot in these. Will have to reorder but the quality is very good so it will be worth the wait.

True to size and fit, however they were so big and bulky and rigid that I sent them back. There was no flexibility in the ankle causing me to have to stomp rather than walk in them and no way I could have driven in them, making them completely non-functional. They also felt like they'd be extremely warm except for where the toes are-which is the part that you'd want the warmest IMO. Also really hard to get off.

This is by far the best winter boots I've ever purchased. This is actually the second one of this style I've owned. Living in the Midwest, it's a must owning one of these. It's perfect for those below zero degree temperature days, and even a very bad snow storm. I've worn these out and they kept my toes nice, dry, and warm.

The fit was true to size as well as the width. Arch support was good too - could use a little more cushion in the sole. After a full day of tromping in and out of stores throught the snow my feet were tired. I love the style!!!! I've been wearing Uggs and while I love them for comfort and warmth the tread is sketchy when it's icy out. I also found that finding ladies snow boots in half sizes is a bit of a challenge - a 7 is just too small and an 8 is just too big. So love that Sorel offers the half sizes.

They looked great but no arch support and too narrow to wear with hiking socks.

I had tried these on in Costco and the 10 was so hard to get on, my toes felt cramped and it was just an over-all bad fit. After reading other reviews I decided to go with the 10 when I ordered from Zappos and they are perfect- so warm and plenty of space. I love them!

Got these boots about a month ago. I purchanced them and while I was waiting for them, I decided to read the reviews. Was a little worried after reading, a lot of the reviews complained about not being warm enough, product breaking after a couple time used....
Once I have received the boots, I fell in love. So warm and comfy!! Most importantly, so fricken cute!!! Which is the main reason I purchased them!! I live in California, not really needing them for the snow. Just rainy days around town and they have been perfect for that!!
Want to say Thank a You for the real reviews of this boot because they are helping me take care of them. I'm paying attention to how I put them on so the side straps don't break. I have had them for over a month now. Wear them almost everyday and as of now, no problems!!! Will update if anything changes!!

This boot was very heavy and bulky. The heel area is very wide and my foot lifted up with every step I tried to take. Could not have walked in these boots on dry land, let alone in the snow, without working hard to keep my feet from slipping out of the heel.

Very comfortable, warm, winter boot. I don't have to worry about my feet getting cold or wet this winter and I'll look good wearing them too!

I really wanted these boots to work, but I couldn't get them on! I have a high instep & it was impossible to get my foot past the ankle of the boot. SO disappointing. I usually wear. 6 - 6 1/2 and since other reviews said they run a bit big I ordered the 6 1/2 so I could wear thicker socks. I couldn't get my foot in with thin socks or no socks. Sadly they are going back.

Love the look of these boots! I have had my eye on them for a long time, but only recently pulled the trigger as this color went down in price. They are so comfortable, and feel really warm. I have hears they are water proof too, perfect for the snow! (hasn't snowed since I received them yesterday so I cant confirm yet!)…

I absolutely love the Joan of Arctic Sorrel boot! It's the warmest, driest, most stylish winter boot you can find! I just decided to go with black instead of grey.

I Bought these for a trip to New York. Was nervous about them because I have plantar fasciitis and most shoes hurt my feet after prolonged wear. I wanted to have warm feet and also comfy. These exceeded my expectations. My feet were WARM and I never had discomfort from walking miles each day. I am anxious to get another pair!!

Loved the look and super comfy and warm with wool socks in them. They are a tad hard to get into at the bottom so you do have to put some extra work into them with loosening the ties all the way to bottom, but my opinion these boots are worth it! I am anemic so very cold all time and I could walk miles in these in the freezing cold on concrete and no issues I ended up buying another pair.

Very cute and comfortable boot, would be good for outdoor winter activities. My daughter chose the Ugg Adirondack instead because she decided that a boot that wasn't so tall would go with more of her outfits. And she didn't need it for deep snow.

Boot is a bigger style than the Tofino (which I own 2 of) . Love the heaviness of this boot but the sizing issue took time to get used to.

This is a big statement boot and you have to really appreciate that about it or it's not for you. Seemed well made and very warm. Liked the fact that you could take out the felt liner and "fur". The broadness of the toe made me wonder if I could drive a car easily. It's challenging to get in and out of so didn't work for me as an everyday kind of winter boot. Seemed best if you were in a very cold climate all winter or just used it for snow days. I returned it and bought the Sorel Tivoli, shorter with easy on off and great style.

I live in the Rocky Mountains, and needed a sturdy warm pair of boots for winter. These fit the bill. They're tall enough that snow doesn't get into them easily and keep my feet toasty.
Keep in mind when ordering, they run a little large, which worked perfectly in my favor because I have wide width feet. I purchased a size 7.5 (usually a size 7W) and have plenty of wiggle room with thick socks. I recommend these boots to everyone!
