Not for me, almost broke my foot trying to put it on. Also very awkward to walk in. Returned and have waited a week for a refund. Not happy

Loved the look of these boots but...no one mentioned that if you have a high arch, you can not get your foot into these boots. The lining is very tight.

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.

These boots look great. However, they are very heavy and stiff to walk in. Putting them on and removing them is ridiculously difficult even with thin socks, and I have a fairly narrow foot. I expected more from this brand and for this amount of money.

These boots are warm in our current sub-zero temperatures. They fit nicely-I wear 9.5-10, but purchased size 9 due to the reviews stating they run a little large.They are easy to put on and take off, and the color is pleasant to boot.

I was in the market for new winter boots and had my eye on the Joan of artics for a few years, really glad I took the plunge just in time for it to be single digit temps in New Englad. They are warm, comfy and can accommodate thicker socks for the extra cold days. I found them true to size.

I bought those boots hoping I will have warm and dry boots for my winter commute but I am so disappointed. I have not even wore them 10 times and they are leaking. My feet are wet and cold. I cannot wear them anymore. I spent so much money to have wet and cold feet. Do not waste your money, ladies. Find other brands that you would know your feet will be dry at least if spending so much money.

I bought these Joan of Arctic boots hoping to justify the price by having both stylish AND warm boots. I've tested them for 2 Midwest winters now and am very disappointed that even with 2 pair of wool socks on, my feet freeze when it's anywhere below +10 F outside. As others have said, for the price you'd think they would be warm at least to their rated temp of -25 F. My husband did some research now after I spoil the fun with my cold feet and said I should get Muk boots. They are cheaper and rated to -40 F.

Love this boot! Yes, it is heavy and needs some getting used to. But for Michigan winters... perfect!

Super cute boots, they keep your feet very warm. They felt true to size, just extremely wide. Im usually a 9.5 so I went with my normal shoe size 9.5.

People...Land’s End—women’s alpine boot. Half the weight, 2x the insulation, infinitely more comfortable (true to size), just picked them up on sale for 50% off—$57. This sorel boot is like wearing cement shoes, no flexibility in the shaft whatsoever, overpriced AF.

A few years ago, I bought the Sorel Tofino snow boots, planning to use them when out playing in the snow with my children. Silly me, I didn't read the fine print, that they're best for walking on top of cleared snow, as opposed to keeping feet warm when walking through snow. This season, I decided to buy the Joan of Arctic, given its great reviews. I wore them once, on top of 2" of snow in 32 degree weather and my toes were cold. Yes, it's a heavier boot, but my feet felt the same coldness as when I wear my Tofino boots out in the snow. Luckily, the retailer took the boots back and gave me a full refund without any hassle. I WILL NEVER BUY BOOTS FROM SOREL AGAIN. I do not trust this company and I do not have $200 to keep throwing around on snow boots that don't keep my feet warm in the snow.

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.

Boots were awkward and run large. Difficult to walk in and very difficult to put on. Ended up returning. Sad, they’re super cute and warm.

I bought these boots for a trip to Austria for skiing. I wore them on the plane and everyday for 10 days. Super comfortable. Warm and easy to walk in. I’d buy these again.

Perfect boots for this cold winter weather. The felt inside gives the warmth need when outdoors for not only your feet but your calves! Of course you will receive lots of compliments- I have purchased other Sorel boots before and these are my favorite. Highly suggest.

I absolutely loved the look of these boots and was hopeful that they would work for me. Unfortunately they were way too heavy. I was looking for a snow boot that I could walk around all day in. If I wore these boots, I know I’d get a good workout but by the end of the day my feet would be killing me! There was little to no arch support or cushion in the foot bed. Sadly, these were a return item for me.

These boots are so great looking, and definitely kept my feet warm during winter in Wyoming, but the rubber has now cracked and the boots are all but useless for cold wet weather. For the steep price, these boots should last way longer than 1.5 years.

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...
