Customer Reviews SOREL Joan of Arctic™ Waterproof

Living in Northern Michigan, you need warm winter boots if you want to enjoy 1/3 of the year. We hike all winter, snow shoe, shovel a lot of snow, go out and play with the dog, and shoot photo/videos for work outside - so I definitely felt like this was a good investment. I've been out on some really cold 3 degree days for hikes, and while the rest of my body was froze, my feet were still moving. The fur isn't going to keep all the snow out, I think some people have commented on that - but it does look great. I absolutely love the look of these boots. One of the best things about Sorel's is that if you get the liners wet from deep snow (or falling in an ice fishing hole haha, i'm only kidding) - you can take the liners out to dry. The only time i could imagine these boots not being warm is if you're trying to use them with wet liners.

So warm! I needed new winter boots and am very happy with these. Kept me very warm and dry during both Patriots football games!

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.

Very stylish, warm boot!! As other reviews mentioned they do run a little large. I ordered a half size smaller and they fit great...had plenty of room for a thick sock. They are a bit on the chunky side compared to other Sorel boots and I felt like they made my feet look really wide but other than that they were a good purchase.

They run about half size small. Also, when you walk, your hell doesn't roll forward, it kind of thanks forward.

These are very nice looking and well made roomy winter boots. I bought two pairs, one for my daughter and one for me. We are both a solid size 7 and we both were uncomfortable with the sizing and returned them for a full size up. Our experience was while the width had plenty of room in both sizes our toes were uncomfortably close to the end which surprised me based on all of the reviews I read. They worked out quite well for a wintry, snowy, icy vacation and I suspect I'll have them forever!

This snow boot is heavy but cute and functional. My feet were dry and warm in the snow. My regular shoe size is a 7.5 and I ordered a 7.5. Fit perfectly but no room for heavy socks.

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.

It snows maybe twice a year in Richmond, Va but I had to have these boots. They were just too cute. We had our first snow last week and I got to play outside for a bit with my 2-year-old son. They kept my feet toasty and were very comfortable. I wear a 6.5 and ordered a 6.5 and they fit perfectly. I had room enough to wear a winter sock. I did notice that walking through my garage to get into my house, that I could feel that the concrete was colder than walking through snow. Not a deal breaker, certainly still felt warm enough.

I adore these boots! They are surprisingly comfortable for a snow boot and are very, very warm. My biggest complaint is that the fur looks a little scruffy after it gets wet from the snow, not a big deal, just a little annoying.

There is no better brand for warm dry feet. These will withstand the toughest winter.

I love the look of this boot. But, it was much bigger than I expected and the sole was so stiff I decided it wouldn't be comfortable to walk around in. It's going back.

Fits small, ordered a half size larger

Love these!! They are so warm & great quality!

I was so excited to get these boots and when trying the first boot on, the snaps came off! They don't appear to snap back on. That is crazy. They are nonfunctioning snaps on a Sorrel?! Anyways, I continued to try to put my foot into the boot, but I could not! This is my regular size and the reviews say they tend to be wide fitting. This is not true! This pair seems poorly made and narrow, which is contrary to everything written about them here. They look like the cutest boots...I am so sad!

I get SO many compliments on these boots when I wear them. My feet do get cold in them, but my feet get cold in everything, so I'm sure these boots will keep most feet warm! My only complaint is that they rub against my heel pretty badly, so when wearing for a long period of time it become uncomfortable. I am a true 7.5 and this style also fits perfectly in 7.5, with a little room for thick socks!!

Best snow boot out there! Comfy warm and A must have in the snow. true to size.

LOVE the look and style of these boots! They do feel comfortable but are a little big both width and length-wise. But overall love them!

Always interested in how online shopping fit---I agree that these boots are true to size. Often purchase a 9 in a fashion boot(Frye and Born) but went with the 8.5. I wanted to make certain and also ordered the 9...wore both around the house and decided the 8.5 was perfect. Didn't want them too big and they are so warm I would only be wearing one thick smartwool socks anyway! Sundance shows these cute boots with tall scrunch socks and I nailed it from Zappos! Comfortable enough to wear out shopping and not worry about salt stains and flexible enough to hike in the snowy woods. Will wear more than my Columbia Bugaboo boots now.

Adorable boots but the tongue is very low. This boot will not keep out snow that is higher than the 3rd lace tie. The boot does run big. I am a 6 1/2 and it was way too big for me. I would definitely wear these boots (in a different size) for style but I don't feel like they a good winter snow boot option.

These boots were Christmas presents for my daughters; they LOVE them! They are true to size, warm, and keep the weather out, whatever it is. They're comfortable too. Zappos is the best! Best prices, easy deliveries and easy returns, if needed. Glad I bought them and kudos to Zappos!
