Customer Reviews SOREL Joan of Arctic™ Waterproof

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.

I absolutely love these boots. They are waterproof and so warm! My only complaint is the the process of getting them on. My feet have a high arch so the top of my foot is higher than some, making it very difficult to get the boots on.i have to pull so hard that I actually burst a blood vessel in my eye once, pulling these on! I don't know that it's a function of the boot so much as it is a function of my differently shaped foot. Once they are on my feet, they are very comfortable and roomy. It's just getting them on!

I love these boots! They are warm, comfortable and so cute!!! Just a heads up though, they are SUPER hard to get on and off, almost like ski boots! I've only worn them a few times and it appears as though it might be getting easier but I'm not 100% sure yet. Because I had such a hard time getting them on the 1st time I actually pulled the side snap right off of one of the boots. I just plan to take them in somewhere to have that fixed. No big deal! So if you are thinking of purchasing these boots I think you'll be happy you did, just know they are not an easy on/off boot! That is really the only reason I did not give them 5 stars.

I wanted to get a cute & warm pair of snow boots, and decided on this pair. Although cute & warm, these did not look that good on my wider calves. Plus, they felt a bit too heavy and didn't think they would be the best option for weekend errands on snowy days (which, lately, we haven't been getting much of in western PA). I'll be returning these to get something for different.

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.

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.

Very cute snow boots but too big, had to return it, plan on getting it in a smaller size.

I really liked these boots but they turned out to be a bit TOO green and heavy for what I was looking for. Certainly can recommend them to anyone looking for that type of snow boot.

I had ordered two of those boots in different colors, both size 12. The black ones fit while the other ones, which were "supposedly" size 12 as well, did not. They were more like a size 10, so I find the sizing not consistent. The boots that fit are terrific though. I have had them now for several winters and winters in upstate New York are rough. Kept my feet nice and toasty with just one pair of socks on. Hands down the best boots I ever had. The only three minus points I have are, the already mentioned inconsitant sizing, after a while I find the liners to get pretty smelly and I wish there was build in support/ cushion for the heels. The soles are super flat and my feet get really sore after a while of walking. But otherwise, worth every single penny.
