Customer Reviews SOREL Joan of Arctic™ Waterproof

Based on reviews and product information I ordered these a half size larger than my normal size 10. They were so large and wide I could not walk in them. They even looked humongous. More like men's boots! Seemed very well made and warm for the short time I had them on my feet. Definitely a heavier clunkier feeling boot. Disappointed that the front tongue of the boot does not go all the way to the top, so snow could potentially fall into the boot.

Great boots, so warm and waterproof!! Only drawback is they are a little difficult to put on. Have to loosen all the laces and pull on the straps, then rebuckle straps after pulling them off. But overall, good boot.

Love the look. Disappointed that both the top side straps, on one boot, broke within a month.

This is a super cute boot. I love the style but they feel huge on and they do not bend. Felt clunky when walking outside (think ski boots!) and no support. This also made it somewhat difficult to drive. I ended up taking the boot off in my car. I wore these outside sledding for about 2 hours and my feet were getting cold. I never had this problem with my Kamik boots. They are hard to put on and take off. Must open laces most of the way down the boot each time to get on and off. The difficulty in putting on wouldn’t be a deal breaker, but add the other factors - too many negatives for me. Bummer because I really like the style.

Beautiful boot but lacks any arch, heel of foot support. Super wide and bulky to drive or walk in.

SO cute and wanted to love these, but where the top of the boot hit my calf made it very uncomfortable to walk in. Also, the "fur" shedded on my black leggings just trying them on. Sadly, they're going back.

Impossible to get my foot into the boot without taking the laces out

Too narrow and no support. They are way cuter than the keens, but the keens fit so much better!!

This is a super cute boot. It felt too big & my foot was sloshing around. I have a wide foot, size 8. ordered an 8, but could have gone smaller. It's a very heavy boot, which would be OK in deep snow, but not comfortable for walking around. It was also VERY hard to get my foot down in there. I ended up returning. Disappointed because I really wanted to love them.

While this style looks very attractive, they are difficult for me to slide my foot into (even at a half size larger than I normally wear) and even more difficult to get the boots off. It feels like there is little to no arch support, so that was the deal breaker for me. I used to wear Sorel boots when I was younger and working outside in Colorado, so I was hoping these would work out.

I bought both size 6 and 6.5 for my daughter who usually wears a 6. The 6.5 fit best with wool socks. She wore the boots in temps that were in single digits and they did not keep her feet warm. She said her toes were painfully cold. The boots are very cute but I was disappointed in their performance. They did keep her feet dry in the snow.

Looks like I need to go half size up, especially if wearing wool socks. For some reason (not sure if it’s design) but the indent towards my ankle became painful and started turning red. Also, my pinkie toe became red as well. I tried in store a size 7 and my entire heel came up when I walked. So far, not the most comfortable. Going to try a 7 and test out at home. If that doesn’t work, will try and find a better fitting boot for me.

I thought these were going to be the ones. They were so close. I put my orthotics in both boots and they were just tight enough across the instep that I can’t wear them. I’m so sad. They were so close to perfect.

love the style, boot feel sturdy. Unfortunately the boot is too narrow for my wide feet.

I ordered a half size larger than I normally wear and could not get them on. I followed reviews and completely undid the laces but they just wouldn't budge. A shame as they looked great and felt really warm! Not sure if a size larger would work or not as I also tried a Baffin Chloe and found it very comfortable.

I love the look of this boot, but I ordered my normal shoe sized and I couldn't even get my foot into the rubberized part! My daughter wears the same size and she was unable to put them on.

I wanted to love these boots, but I could not even get my foot in them! I had debated between ordering a 9 or 10 (my normal shoe size is 9.5) and I went with the nine after reading other reviews that said they ran large. I will be returning these and ordering a bigger size.

I wear a 9.5 to 10 usually, so ordered the 10 to be able to wear thick socks with them. I have a semi- wide foot, and these were too narrow, even at the larger size.
