Customer Reviews SOREL Joan Of Arctic™ II

Love them. They are very comfortable and warm. Can't wait for he big snow. My do look a little more olive then gray but they will hide any dirt much better so I don't mind!!

Love these boots. I am typically a 10.5 - ordered the 10.5 and they were perfect. Will still have room for socks. Cozy and adorable!

The boot is a little snug getting your foot in, had to loosen up the strings a lot but once in it felt fine. Honestly, I have not used them in the snow yet but I have heard good things about the Sorel brand. Ready for the upper midwest winter.

I got these boots to replace my old snow boots and am excited about the upgrade in quality. These puppies are no joke! Heavy duty yet stylish, now just waiting for the snow to fall.

I am moving from Arkansas to North Dakota and wanted serious snow boots - I have found it! (Please note that I do have a few years experience with "real" winter in NE Kansas to inform my opinion). I was a little concerned that these boots were not going to be warm enough because they look too stylish, but after trying them on I am finding that these are even warmer than my down-filled booties. I highly recommend them!

I normally wear a size 11, and the size 11 was too small for me. I exchanged for a size 12 and they will be perfect with medium heavy socks. I love the style of these boots - I cannot wait for the first snow fall!

This is the first time I have had Sorel boots and I am thrilled to say that I love them. Have not tried them out on snow yet but have walked around the house in them and they are very comfortable (a little heavy though). Can't wait to wear them this Winter. I wear a 7 1/2 shoe and ordered that size, but it was too small, so I reordered the 8's and they fit perfectly (especially with heavier socks for winter).

First, I have not worn these boots yet because it isn't cold yet, BUT I agree with many reviews-I wear a 6.5 women and have wide feet and they feel great. Second, I had them on for a few minutes and my feet were so warm, it made the rest of me very warm. Third, they are very sturdy to begin with but with time, I can see how they will move easier. I am very happy I purchased these boots and know I will be warm for a long time. The ONLY item is the color Noki is a type of mossy green. From the picture, I thought it was like taupe. I love the color so am keeping them.

I have wide calves and have had a hard time finding well fitting winter boots, a necessity in New England. These boots fit well, are stylish and are really comfy. They did feel a tad bit snug but I hope that would change with wear. Only time would tell how these fare in the winter. I bought these early because my size usually sells out by December.

I had been looking to replace a pair of Sorel boots from last year whose "waterproof" fabric began to tear at the end of the season, and almost went with Sorel's Tivoli II. I had these sent just to compare, and wow, I can't wait for snow, slush and subzero weather (I love winter)! These are serious, kick-ass (am I allowed to say that in a review?) winter boots. They are probably a bit bulky and heavy, but they are super cute, comfy, and look ready to handle any kind of bad weather. The Tivoli II's look great too, but by comparison, these seem more geared for serious weather. To make a car comparison, the Tivoli II's are a Jeep Cherokee; the Joan of Arctic II's are a snow mobile with a V-8 engine. I hover between a 9 and 9 1/2, and the 9 1/2 seems just right, allowing for thick socks.

Very cute boots. They look exactly like the photo. Are true to size. I returned them because I purchased a 1/2 size smaller. Also, I decided to exchange for the Joan of Arctic Knit II, because I'm fairly certain that I will "outgrow," the faux fur.

I love the boots! And I loved my ordering/receiving experience with Zappos. Everything was perfect! Awesome company! Great job, Zappos!

Everyone says we're going to have another harsh winter, so I ordered these boots to keep me warm and toasty. Since it's just October, I can't testify to how they'll be in winter, but they are super cute and fit really well. I wear a 7 1/2 and ordered an 8 - they have just enough room to wear a pair of cozy socks underneath. I think they'll look great with jeans or leggings tucked in - the fur trim is super cute and warm.

I just got these boots in today! I wanted to review them so bad. I love these boots! I usually wear sizes 10 or 11 but in boots always 11. I decided to order the 12s so I could be sure to fit into them with larger socks for the very cold New England Weather. They fit my larger calves very nicely. They are overall a very stylish boot that I am sure will work wonders in heavy snow. I will write another review this winter when I have worn them in the elements enough to do a full review. As of right now on my first try on these are amazing! Thanks Sorel for making quality snow boots!

I have been looking for a true waterproof boot for the snow. This boot is very well constructed and the quality is excellent. I usually wear a size 7.5 in shoes, so I ordered the same in this boot and the fit was perfect even with a heavy sock. Can't wait to try them out. Highly recommend.

I am obsessed with these boots! I tried the Sorel Tofino boots first and was disappointed with the fit - I do not have wide feet but they were too snug in the toe box with just athletic socks on (more like a snug shoe-fit). Also the faux fur was rubbing off on everything! I returned them for the Joan of Arctic II and could not be happier! It is a wider fit so I can still wiggle my toes even with very thick socks on. Some people feel they are bulky, and I get what they are saying (in comparison to the Tofino), but I always expect good snow boots to be bulkier than regular shoes. The fur is even better quality than the Tofino, I have not had any come off yet (had them two months). Traction is great on snow and ice, they are very warm, but driving in them takes some getting used to. I cannot wait to use them for my two trips to Colorado this spring! One note - the upper rubber part on the grey boots is definitely black, not a dark grey. I got the same size I wear in running shoes, and they fit perfect straight out of the box. Great styling, too - I love how they look with snow pants or with jeans tucked in!

I absolutely love these boots! I was looking for boots that would keep my feet warm and dry. The Sorel boots have met that need. Zappos is very efficient with delivery, the site is easy to navigate and returning an item is flawless. I have told many friends of your great service. Thank you!

Excellent pair of boots overall. Extremely comfortable and warm. Well worth the money. I had tried several different types of boots before finding this boot which was both an wonderful style as well as supper comfortable to wear!

These boots are as cute as they are warm. I ordered my normal size and they felt a bit big but enough room for thick socks. I've gotten lots of complements on them and even wore them all day at work when I forgot my shoes. Very comfortable!

Great boots. I live in a very cold snowy area that can get a lot of snow in the winter time. Boots are stylish and definitely keep feet warm and dry

This boot was everything I hoped for! Living in North Dakota winters are harsh and this boot is everything I need. My feet stay comfy and warm, while still being stylish!

I am so excited to get these boots. I tried to buy them last winter but they were sold out everywhere. I wear an 8.5 and that's what I ordered. I can wear these boots with regular socks rather than super-thick socks. I expect I will be wearing them every day for the next 10 winters.

I love these boots! They are so fashionable, which is tough to find in a snowboot, but necessary when you live in New England! I have only had one chance to wear them so far (but imagine that many more snowy days are on their way) but I walked over a mile wearing them and felt no discomfort. I am looking forward to warm feet all winter long!
