Customer Reviews SOREL Joan of Arctic™ Waterproof

Not cute in a size 10. They are huge!!!

I would order a half size up as these tend to run a half size smaller. They're definitely weather proof but just kind of heavy and bulky. Not my favorite boot because I don't find them that functional.

Very stylish though not as comfortable as I had hoped. I have other Sorel boots and was hoping for the same comfort level but these are a little tight and snug to put on. The sizing is right but the fit is just a little different.

These were supper cute for a snow boot. They looked to be well made. I could not get my foot inside with a sock on easily. I have other shorter versions of Sorel in the same size I ordered. It was difficult to get my foot past the shaft and into the footbed. I ended up returning...

Cute boots but it was way too heavy and bulky! I would go 1/2 size up.

I'm usually a 9-9.5. This was too big and bulky. Ordered the 9 and fits better. Overall, exactly what I was looking for, just difficult to size without trying on.

I love these! Definitely true to size. The lace up feature if ideal for people like myself who have thick/wide calves. I go to school in extreme cold and snow conditions and these make my long walks to class easier in the winter! A little wobble when you walk but you get used to it bc it is a heavy boot.

These boots are so cute and VERY warm! I used them in Colorado with a semi thick sock and my feet were always sweaty when I took them off. My major complaint with these boots is that they hurt my ankles. They don't seem to be stiff enough around my ankles so they tend to rub and put pressure on them. The only way to stop it is to wear really thick socks. Still love them, just wish they didn't hurt!

Like these boots. Look really cool. I don't think they are super warm. I stood watching my kids sled and my feet got cold. My daughter has them and she thinks they feel warm so I must have sensitive feet. Either that or Im just old!

I wear a 8.5 and am glad I bought a 9 due to them being a bit snug

I originally ordered the 7.5 but exchanged for an 8. I've only worn them in the house when I tried them on. I'm hoping they will break in a little- they feel stiff like I can barley move my ankle when walking.

Cute and warm but not as comfortable to walk in as my Uggs.

These run 1/2- to 1 size larger than listed and are pretty wide so order down. Style and quality are great and they are super warm!

These boots are super cute ! I wear a 8 1/2 or a 9 and I'm glad I ordered a 9 because they are a bit snug. Overall very happy with my purchase!

These shoes are very comfortable and I imagine they would keep your feet very warm in winter weather. However, if you have a large foot and a small frame, they look massive. I'm 5'10", 135 lbs with a 10.5 M foot. When I tried on these shoes my feet looked absolutely massive. They were extremely wide and bulky. Where I live we typically don't have temperatures below zero, so they were too much boot for my climate, especially considering how they looked on my foot. The cushioning inside the boot was phenomenal. I felt like I was walking on a cloud. The leather that comprised the shaft of the boot was more supple than I expected, which was a nice surprise. They definitely appear to be well made boots, just be aware they are heavily insulated, which will impact the aesthetics.

I wanted to keep these boots so badly. I wear an 11 pretty consistently, but the size 11 were too short. I was so disappointed because they were otherwise very comfortable and cute. I know they'd keep my fee toasty in any weather.

I've been coveting these boots for a while and finally treated myself - they are great snow boots. Stylish and super warm.

I was looking for a boot that would keep my feet warm, snow proof and stylish. I've tried Lands End and Columbia and neither delivered. My feet are always cold. So much that I wear fuzzy socks with Uggs sometimes. Overall these shoes didn't disappoint! I gave it 4 not 5 stars because the first pair of boots I ordered on of the rivets came out the first time I wore it. Thankfully with Zappos amazing return policy and customer service it was not a problem and I got a new pair right away. I tried a size 7 on the second pair (6.5 the first - which is what I typically am) and I felt my heel slipping even with thicker socks so for me I feel they were true to size. So I returned those and 3 has been the charm :). The first time I put them on I had a hard time with the elastic over the arch of the foot. But after the initial time I wore them they fit great. I can actually wear these all day in snow or inside. Bonus I get compliments all the time on how cute they are! I would definitely recommend these boots.

I had lowered expectations for these boots because I saw a woman at the post office in the same boots I had just ordered that day. living in Montana, I was particularly sick of slipping on ice and tired of cold feet from my leather fashion winter boots. I have tried Keens and Merrill's and both have too little, to no insulation, and the soles are worthless on ice. I asked the lady at the P.O. how she like the boots and if they were good on ice and she said they were nice and warm but terrible on ice. I recently bought an urban farm of 3.5 acres and have chickens and am splitting wood and have all sorts of chores in a foot of snow. I wanted work boots for my property and something to keep me warm in the office at work. The boots are great for urban farming in 12 " of snow and do not slip around on regular hard pack snow. I read the snow gets into these boots, but I lace them up tight with my pants tucked in and have not had problems. They are not so good on ice. Why can't they make good soles for ice? My only two complaints with these boots are: that the ankles have no support so always have a visible outer wrinkle that I feel on my ankles and is uncomfortable...and they are really hard to pull off because even with the laces completely loosened the ankles are tight. My feet are nice and warm though.

These boots are warm when moving around however I stood in snow (watching my kids sled) for about 45 minutes and my toes were cold.

Can't get my foot into the boot with socks! Way too narrow and small, in the size I have for every other pair of boots including a pair of older Sorels.
