Customer Reviews SOREL Joan of Arctic™ Waterproof

while these are very cute, I couldn't get them on. That felt liner is inflexible

Nice boots, but didn't like that foot bed wasn't very thick!

I have worn them twice. My low rating is because the heal on both shoes is already showing wear. I would expect better from a boot this expensive. Also, the boot does not fit my foot as well as I would like. It is a bit sloppy. I did contact customer service before buying them to make sure the width would be correct. However, this did not work out either.

I gave it three stars because they are warm but not too warm where you're sweating. They keep your fee t dry too. The 3 star is for the style, weight, design, and advertisement photos. They look like cute boots you could wear out with leggings or jeans. This is not the case. The toe area is wide, like really wide, the boots are really difficult to get on, I've had them 2 years and wear them at least 15 times a season and still have difficulty. They look more "cute" and wearable. I use them to shovel and plow the drive. I could never wear them past that. Too heavy.

these are really nice winter boots, especially for deep snow. very warm and secure. the problem is that if you plan to walk in them for more than 15minutes, it will give you blisters on your ankles as the solid part of shoe doesnt flex well when you walk and its pretty painful.

I was very excited to get these boots for winter, but as a women with larger calves, these boots are highly uncomfortable. The boot starts to slouch down and creates a painful buckle that bites the back of your Achilles. Sadly these boots will have to be returned.

100% the worst boot purchase I've ever made. I've wanted a pair of Joan of Artic for several years and what a disappointment. I own several pairs of Sorel boots and always wear a size 8. These are huge, slide down, buckle at the ankles and simple do not hold structure (even with the laces as tight as possible). With the slouching, the stitching rides the back of your ankle and causes horrible blisters within minutes. , I had to wear them to learn this and now I have a huge pair of boots I can't wear polluting my closet because they can't be returned. Other than the sizing and fit they appear to be well constructed. Go with the Tivoli or Size down 2 sizes, seriously. How can the sizing be this off??

Nice looking but push your Achilles tendon forward and the toebox is not big enough or long enough. Can't walk well in these they are awkward. Not enough support for the price. They look really stupid unless you have kid sized legs as the fur won't go but halfway around your legs even if you're not quite wide calf. If you have tiny or super small legs you might like them. Definitely not for many people.

Ordered online, received boots promptly. Sorel advises sizing down since boots are cut large. I stayed with my normal boot size and the Sorel's were tight. I could only wear them with light socks, and they were tight across the top of the arch. Returned - which was fairly easy - and ordered a half size larger. Couldn't just exchange them. Had to return one and order the second size. Replacements showed up and fit worse. Felt liner is much thinner than it used to be, and on the boots I got the felt wouldn't even meet at the top of my arch or my ankle. That means in cold only my sock and the leather tongue protect my foot from the outside temp's. Arch of boot was also tight where the tongue is sewn in. Can't comment on durability. Poor fitting on two pair indicate a quality control problem. If you're going to buy these, go into a store and try them on first. When I called to return the second pair Sorel said there was a return fee. Customer service did agree to waive the fee when I talked with them some more about why I was returning the boots. Pity. I used to lover Sorel's.

I like the boots and went half a size up which fit perfectly lengthwise but the width was very wide both in the foot section and the ankle. This mean they rub as I walk which is a shame.

I ordered down a size, as suggested by Sorel. The boots were way too small. They ARE true to size.

The recommendation was that these run large, and you should order down or stay at normal size. I'm usually a 9 or 9.5 so I stuck with a 9. The length of the boot was WAY too short. My toes were scraping the front of the booth. The width was perfect in the foot, but it was also very very wide in the ankle. It felt like my ankle was unsupported and it made the boots look bizarre on my feet. Overall it was uncomfortable to move in.

I bought a pair that's true to my size and they were still small. I paid to return them and ordered a half size up and they still feel small at the toe but are baggy feeling at the ankle so now I'll be spending more money to return them. I'm terrified to reorder a different style because at this point I feel I'm just wasting money on return fees. I had my last pair of Sorel boots for YEARS and was so excited for a new pair. This style seemed as close as I could get to what I had before but the fit is so disappointing. I don't like that it is an insert bootie vs something that's attached and I didn't realize that when I tried on the first pair. Maybe older styles of this boot were great but the current style isn't for me.

Pretty but no support (fits like a rainboot) and runs small, despite the "Fit Tip" to size down. I'm normally a size 8.5. I ordered a 7.5 and an 8 (per the recommendation from Sorel). I received the 8 first, which was too small length-wise. Width-wise it was huge. It fit like a rainboot would. No suport. No good. These went straight back. Didn't even bother trying on the 7.5, although was charged to return them.
