Customer Reviews SOREL Joan of Arctic™ Waterproof

I have yet to wear them out in the snow to test it's waterproof, cold, and slip resistant ability. However I have tried them on to test out the feel of it. I love how comfy it is once myfoot is inside. It's definitely true to size. The wide front gives plenty of room for each toe. However, to walk in is a different story and will take time to get used to/break in. It feels like I'm wearing a walking boot/brace/cast. It's so rigid and unflexible, I have no idea what will happen when I'm on slippery ice, hoping they really are nonslip. Getting off is such a pain. I didn't want to believe the stories and complaintsbut sadly it's true. I really wish they had a side zipper to make it easier taking off but then I guess it wouldn't be totally waterproof. My ankle gets stuck when trying to take off the boot. It almost felt like I would break myfoot one time, I had to take a break with my foot dangling in halfway. This is not safe. I can't imagine being old with fragile bones , wearing these. I'm not sure I'll ever love these as much as my Minnetonka or other snow boots. The only reason why I'm keeping them is for their quality outside material, love the color and style, and the height. We're getting into negative degree weather and many feet of snow already, so I need a god quality boot. Just hoping they'll break in.

I needed a boot for the MN deep winter and this is one a few boots I could find that will keep my toes warm when I'm out for extended periods of time. The lace up style allows those with more athletic calves to still wear the tall boot. Though the tounge of the boot does not fully pull out...so it can still be a little challenging getting your foot down and in...but not as challenging as other tall boots in the long a plus this way of designing makes sure snow stays out rather than coming in. Pretty design, but wish the pulls on the side were functional rather than decorative pulls that are snapped on. The first time I put the boots on I tried to use them pulls and the snaps quickly came undone. Otherwise they are really nice boots.

I've wanted a pair of caribou boots for about 30 years. They are everything I anticipated and hoped they would be but so much more! Amazingly comfortable, warm, and go great with jeans or dress pants. Sorel is a lifestyle and a statement for men who like to work hard and play hard.

I bought it for winter. It's perfect. Sorel is Sorel no doubt about it.

Great pair just what I wanted, easy to put on light enough for long walks with my dog. My feet get cold easily but no issues here at all. I picked grey color and they look fantastic. I am very happy

I bought these boots for my husband who just loves them! He hasn't been able to wear them in really cold temperatures yet but they are comfortable, for great and his feet stay very warm!

Boot is warm. Does feel a bit narrow, I went a size larger than normal due to this. Not as comfortable as my Old Sorel Domninator boots they replaced, but they should work. Would be nice if they made wide boots.

I love these boots. I've worn them to run errands a few times, and do things around the house, and they're comfortable. I have very sensitive skin, and I haven't had an issue with them rubbing my ankles. I have a high arch, and they are easier to get on if you really loosen the laces. I purchased the size I wear in all other shoes, and they fit great, but also have room for wool socks. They're warm, but not too warm, and they don't feel too heavy. I absolutely love them!
