Love these boots! Very stylish and yet completely functional for wet winter weather! So many complements, I got the quarry color and it's a beautiful neutral! It's a bit of a "to do" to get them on but well worth it! I wear regular socks so my usual size is perfect. If you want thick socks you might go up a half size but the boots are warm enough for me with thinner socks. So nice to feel warm AND stylish!

Every boot/shoe I've ever gotten from Sorel is just amazing! Comfort beyond belief, cute and functional! I don't have enough good things to say, worth every penny!

I am so disappointed in these boots. First I usually wear between an 8.5 or 9 but needed a size 10 in these boots as my toe could feel the end of the boot. This was ok for me. What I am disappointed in is the warmth of the boot. Even with wool socks my feet get very cold starting with my toes very quickly. They are also very slick on icy ground, so be very careful when walking on these surfaces. I feel for the price of these boots they really are not worth it. I just can't stay out in the cold snowy environment wear these boots for very long. I do a lot of activities in the outdoors and have found myself wearing my old sorel boots which are much warmer.

Disappointed.... I've always wanted a pair of Sorel Joan of Artic boots as I love how they look but never wanted to spend the money. I finally decided to buy. I tried different size as the first pair were too hard to get on. Once I got a pair that fit they were very uncomfortable. I wanted to love them :(

I bought these boots for my husband and he loves them! He says they are extremely comfortable and warm. He wishes he had bought a pair 20 years ago!

These are an excellent snow boot. I can't imagine walking long distances in them as they are sort of klunky, but they are a snow boot so that's to be expected. I find them true to size. I am a wide size 9 and the 9 fits fine. I read some reviews that said to size up but I disagree, unless you plan to wear them with multiple pairs of socks which is unnecessary. I shoveled my driveway and sidewalks this morning in them (about 4" of snow) with thin socks on and my feet were still warm and dry afterwards.

I’ve had these Sorel Joan of Arctic boots before and they are really warm snow boots good for - 25F, waterproof, and have good traction in the snow. They’re a little tight to put on, but have two loops that help. Unfortunately, the grommet that holds the loop on was missing. Sadly they had to go back. I’m very disappointed that Zappos sent out damaged merchandise.

I generally have wider than normal feet but not a true wide width foot, so finding shoes/boots is difficult. These boots cover the width issue without issue. They are warm and comfortable. A little on the heavier side but they are a true winter boot--they will give me that extra workout when I climb up that sledding hill.

These are cute boots but not very practical. I live in MA and was looking for boots to wear in a lot of snow. I had 3 main issues with these. 1) They are almost impossible to put on and almost as hard to take off. It would get old real quick having to deal with these. They don't even have a tab to help pull them on. 2) The liner has a seam running along the length of the back. The boot also contours in at the ankle. These two things combined made that seam rub pretty hard on my achilles, even through socks and jeans. 3) They are big enough to make you walk like you are wearing ski boots. This I could have dealt with if not for the other two issues.

I finally purchased my first pair of Joan of Arctic boots. I figured Sorel was a great boot since all kinds of reviews rave about how warm and cute they were. I have had them since the beginning of Dec. I purchased them for outdoor use. Mainly ice fishing. When I get on the ice I can feel the cold start to seep in right away. After about 30 to 45 min I'm taking my boots off to warm my feet by the heater. The boots are true to size and I wear quality wool socks. I'm not satisfied with the product especially for the amount of money I paid for them. It's kind of a waste of money because now I have to find another boot to purchase if I want warm feet.

Cute and warm. However, the gray runs a little large - I'd say about half-size. And, weirdly, the black runs a half-size SMALL. I ordered a 9.5 in both pairs. Needless to say, I have to return both and gamble with the size of the reorder, since clearly the sizing is inconsistent!

I purchased these boots last year. I have had several outings to test the quality of this boot, and unfortunately, I am not satisfied with the warmth. I purchased them for outdoor walks and fishing. Unfortunately, the sole is not insulated enough, so I can feel the cold almost immediately and am uncomfortable within 30 minutes. These boots are "snow bunny" boots, and not for the active woman that wants to spend the day outdoors.

These are the best boots I've ever owned. Currently in 15 deg F outside with snow everywhere and these kept my feet super warm.

Very cute boot and assume it would be warm. However, the fit didn't work for me. The shoe part itself was very generous in my regular size, but the calf was very tight - uncomfortable enough that I could not tolerate them, especially for the price! I have slightly larger than average calves, so if you have slim legs, they should be fine.

These look nice in photos and probably on other people, but I could hardly get them on without fear of breaking my ankle. The laces are bulkier than they appear. Also not 100% sold on the sole as treads don't seem that they would grip on ice. Unfortunately, back they go!

After about a year, worn about 18 times, the rubber section of the Caribou men's boots developed cracks in the area that bends when walking. The resultant hole is about 4" long. Several other reviews of your boots also cite this condition. (I received no incentive for this comment and am not interested in any sweepstakes or gift card.)

Love the suede and the fur top. Makes the boot very girlie. BUT the bottom is thin and very clunky. Old style. I returned.

Do not keep my feet warm at all. Have to use feet warmers in them. Too bad because they are a good looking boot. And the temperature was 0 degrees and you can see they are rated -25 degrees. Hmmmm
