Customer Reviews SOREL Joan of Arctic™ Waterproof

I wanted so badly to love these because they are so cute, but they rubbed and bent at a spot on the back of my ankle that I just couldn't ignore. Had to send back

These boots fit very tight.

Hard to get your foot into he boot, however they are comfortable and warm when in

I live in an area with heavy snow near Lake Tahoe and was looking for a stylish, warm boot with good wet protection and traction for daily use. These boots are lovely. They are waterproof. But ...they are stiff and run large. I wear a 8 1/2 in all shoes but size 9 running shoes. My feet are quite wide and I have thick calves. So, I ordered a size 9, B-medium based on reports from others that the shoe runs wide and large. Even still, and when wearing thick wool socks, the boots are quite large and wide. Also they don't taper around the ankle and the material is stiff and make pulling the laces tight a challenge ...so my foot/ankle moves swims inside the boot. That makes the boots heavy and a bit tiring on even short walks. They fit my calves fine. Maybe they will loosen up and get less stiff over time and I can tighten the laces more? I hope so. The traction is OK. Not awesome. They are very warm. Its a bit of a bother to lace them up tight (no way to "slip in"). The thick rubber bottom is awesome for walks in soft snow/mud/muck. They have zero arch support (maybe if they fit better I would feel it but as is, zero support) so I will add something. I will keep them. But I won't make them my "go to" boot, they lack the comfort for that.

The fur didn’t come all the way around the front as advertised. Looked awful. Returned them

These were so tight at top of foot, it was almost Impossible to get them on and off and I have a narrow foot. Perhaps this pair was made incorrectly.

Too small in the toe box. Also, they smelled like mold. Love the style, but those two things do not work for me

So I very comfortable and stylish. A little tricky to pull up but TTS

I have had my eye on these boots for over a year waiting for them to go on sale and FINALLY they did! I love them! There is no lining but my feet are still very warm and of course, completely dry in the winter Connecticut weather. The only reason I gave them 4 starts is that I have a bit of a hard time getting them off when the wide part of my foot get to the ankle area of the boot. It's pretty narrow but I have a wide foot anyways. But I still love them and have been wearing daily through our recent snow storms! The boot is true to size, perfect with leggings and form fitting pants, so stylish and I've gotten TONS of compliments on them. Everyone has asked what brand, their name, and where I got them. I happily share all info! Highly recommend.

I had a pair of Canadian Sorel boots from over 30 years ago which are still in great shape today despite the wear over the years. My son bought me a new pair of Joan of Arc boots last year in the same size I always wear- the sizing was much larger than my previous pair of Sorel’s. While they are waterproof and great-looking, the quality has definitely declined. I have kept them for emergency wear- but definitely disappointed.

Normally I wear an 8, so that’s what I ordered. It fits exactly with no extra room and no socks. These are warm. I like the style. Took off one star because they are a real pain to put in and take off. Also, sometimes rubs funny on the top of my foot. You might want to order half size up if you wear thick socks.

I live in Minnesota (Minne-snow-ta)... It gets really cold here and snows alot during the winter. I bought these boots just because of our harsh winters. These boots run big like 1 size too big. They are extremely heavy!!! Very warm!!! The only problem is that they are too heavy to wear everyday. I can't even drive in them!!! But when we have a heavy snow fall they are great to shovel in. They definitely keep my feet warm!!! My only complaints are that they run too big and they are way to heavy. But they definitely are snow boots for sure!!

It ran a little small. I wore them all day in the cold wet swamps. They are a little heavy, though stylish. Can’t say very comfortable. And I’m usually a 9 and though it says runs trust size, they are tight with only a medium sock on

So, I have these boots in a size 9 from several years ago. They weren't offered in half sizes at the time. I am normally an 8.5. I ordered these in an 8 because the 9s are really too big. The sizing is weird, they aren't too small length-wise, but they are too tight where the tongue meets the boot. I couldn't get my foot in the boot. Now that the half sizes are available, I'll exchange for my normal size, 8.5, and hope they work out. I love my other pair, they're just too large.

These seem like great boots but I have slightly wide feet and these are too narrow for me. Bummer!
