Customer Reviews SOREL Joan of Arctic™ Waterproof

Great looking boot. I normally wear an 8 medium, but this boot ran short for me. My big toe jammed in front. Also, did not like how limited the ankle support and foot bed support felt. That said, I will exchange for an 8.5, and let you know ;)

I live in a world class ski town that gets 450" of snow per winter, so I need good snow boots. Blizzards don't keep anyone inside here. My old boots wore out after only 3 seasons, so I have high hopes for these. They are very well made and fit fine. Super warm. They're pretty cute, BUT they are super heavy. It kind of feels like you have weights on your feet when you walk in them. I've yet to try them in the snow, so I'll update when it hits (It's Sept right now). But I'm a little worried it'll make trudging through snow a little harder than it otherwise is due to the weight of the boot.

This is a very heavy boot! Not the easiest to get on and they ran small for me. I m returning for a half size up. They are very good quality and stylish to boot (lol) but really expensive. Im a 10 and have to get a 10.5 but don't know that I will due to the weight of these boots.

Love, super fast shipping as well!

I live in Idaho where weather is snowy and wet in Winter. These will keep my feet dry and toasty!

Definitely not true to size

I love the looks but wish they could be more compact.

In love with these boots. Planned to sell on eBay after our ski trip but I am keeping them! Super cute with jeans and great for walking around sub zero temps.

These feel very big and make my feet look even bigger. I wish I would’ve got a different style.

So glad I ordered these, they are very stylish for snow boots, and even cuter in person! I have yet to put them to the test with actual snow, but they seem to be very warm and cozy! They are pretty wide so probably not a great fit for those with narrow feet, but you can always add heavy socks. They seem to be very well made and should last through heavy use, well worth the price tag!

Love the look of these but sadly had to return. Very difficult to get on end felt too big and cumbersome to walk in.

Bought these to replace an older pair of Sorel Joan of Arctics (~5 years old). unfortunately despite buying the same size these were way too small so will have to return. Still love the style and color!

As far as shoes go, these boots really are beautiful. Unfortunately, I should've thought more carefully about the functionality I need over the style that I prefer. They are extremely heavy, and since I live in an urban area that requires significant walking everyday, they don't meet that need well. Also, very surprisingly, these boots were heavy enough that by the end of the day, my back (and even ankles, a bit) hurt. I have back problems, so I'm sure for most people this wouldn't be an issue. It didn't occur to me that the weight of these boots would require that, at least for me, wearing throughout the day at work just isn't an option. That hasn't been an issue with other boots I own, though they are mostly very light weight. Also, I wear a size 8 1/2 and if anything need to size up. Thick socks of course make a big difference, but the boots still felt a tad big. Overall, I will sadly need to return them. I hope I can find a similar style w/less weight and better sizing for me.

I'm disappointed by these boots. I really did a lot of research and looked at a lot of different boots before I made this purchase. They're really hard and uncomfortable. The front of the shoe is really bulky. It is warm and does the job but for the price, I would've expected something more comfortable.

Super cute! Love these boots! Make sure to get a little bigger if you wear w thick socks. I normally wear 6.5 and probably could have gone w 7.. but Wore em in Mammoth and was nice and warm all day. I think the more I wear em they may stretch out a bit. Definitely give em a 5 star.. can’t go wrong w Sorel.. or Zappos!!

Hard to get on, very bulky, heavy and uncomfortable. Ankle area does not have give so feel like you are leaning forward. Cute looking boot but that's about it.
