Customer Reviews SOREL Joan Of Arctic™ II

I saw these and thought what an adorable and nice change from Uggs. I was a little leery because from some of the reviews I've heard they can be uncomfortable and they are at first. I ordered them on sale in winter white (I got the last pair someone else returned lucky me!). The winter white has as a slight pink tinge which I love! And these boots are so dammed cute I think they might be keepers. The only problem as with other reviewers they bend in slightly on the back of my lower calf but I am going to fix this by putting powder puffs in between the lining of both boots! Because I really want to keep these, I get so tired of returning everything and I don't want Zappos to ban me from ordering! I cannot live without them! Also they do have a rather large footbed but that's just the style of this boot and they are rather stiff. I hope they will loosen up a little. But they are cute as a button!

These are great. They are super warm and well made. They run on the larger size though which I guess is good for heavy socks. My only disappointment was that there is no spur on the heel to keep snow shoe straps in place.

These are the most warm and dry boots or shoes I have ever owned! My feet have never been truly warm while outside in the winter. I live in New England, and can say that these boots are the best - warmth and style!

I work as a Crossing Guard and one of the hardest things for me to do is to keep my feet warm and dry. These boots are the best I have owned. They do tend to run a bit big, but if you are going to wear two pairs of socks they will be perfect. The laces are a good idea on these boots. When I have to tuck a pair of thermals, two pair of socks and my uniform pants inside there is plenty of room for adjustment around the ankle. I have tried many other brand name and style boots, but these by far are the best I have had in the 27 years I have been working at my job.

I love these boots! I ordered them for an outdoor festival and they were comfortable and warm for the whole night. I wear them snowshoeing as well as out in the slush. I wear them everywhere! I also get a ton of complements on them.

I love these boots! So cute for snow boots. For me the boot ran a little big. I usually wear a size nine and they were huge..ordered the eight and they were too small. The eight and a half were perfect. I have trudged and played through the snow and my feet stayed warm and dry. It takes a few times of wearing to break them in, but I found that it was totally worth it. So happy with my purchase and the customer service of Zappos.

Love these. Yes, they are big but fine for city walking in the cold. They keep your feet incredibly warm and they are adorable. I wish they had half sizes, but I went smaller versus larger.

I love the style and the quality of these boots, but I had to return them, as they were far too narrow. I am on the lookout for these boots in a wider version.

These are so cozy and warm! My calves are on the bigger side and I always have to be careful with boots but these fit well! I wore them this winter in the freezing cold and my feet stayed dry and very warm. I absolutely love these and they are just too cute! My sister loves them as well and we share them all the time, they are just fantastic!

I love these boots. Very warm, comfortable, durable, and stylish. There is plenty of room for heavy socks plus an extra Dr. Scholl's arch support. I was also impressed with the quickness of delivery to receive these boots. Thanks Zappos!

These are the best boots ever! They run wide, but its great for thick socks. The liner slips right out so you can dry it out. These boots are great for stomping through puddles and snow, and they're super warm! If your feet are narrow, try the 'Cate', my friend purchased those instead and she loves them just as much! I wear them with a skirt, jeans, or apres ski and feel fashionable and comfortable!

These boots were adorable. So warm, and very stylish. Sadly, I need to walk miles in them, so they are a bit too clunky for that. Am returning, and trying out the Columbia Ice Maiden.

I have never been so excited and anticipated a package more than this one in my entire life!!! Yesterday 02/08/13 NYC and surrounding area got slammed with a snow storm. At 5:00pm that very day, Zappos delivered my boots. Can you say AMAZING???!!! These boots are top notch. I bought my normal size (10) and wore with regular (thin) socks. They felt loose and the boot is designed on the wider side so I thought they were too big. But after walking in them and testing out the flexibility in the snow, I think they fit perfectly for what I need. Also, if I needed to put a much thicker sock on, they would not be tight or constrictive. However, I don't think I need to ever wear thick socks with them because they are insanely warm! I also wanted a boot that I could "feel the ground" with and not like some other brands that make their boots so stiff and chunky and when you walk you feel like you are in ski boots. The lace up front is easy and the pull tabs are helpful to get the boot on. The faux fur wraps around my tree trunk calves perfectly and they are so stylish. I got so many compliments on the style. This is a great boot! Surprisingly light weight and again, so warm. Buy them!

These boots are not only attractive but are very warm and comfortable. They are also very easy to put on and take off. I'm really pleased with the purchase. I would suggest going a size larger than you normally would wear.

The boots are great! I typically wear a 6.5 so I was unsure when ordering the boots if I wanted a 6 or a 7. I am very glad I went with the 6 versus the 7 as the 6 are a perfect fit even with a thicker sock for winter. I saw some of the reviews stated that they were hard to pull on around the ankle. I do think this was the case but I just untied them around the ankle and they slipped right on!

I love these boots so it's a huge disappointment that they aren't going to be worn. Definitely size up if you're a half size. I'm an 8.5 in every shoe I've ever worn but all my boots and skates are 8. I bought these in a size 8 and they are way too small. I get huge blisters after wearing them more than 30 minutes. Too bad I can't return them!

Great boot. Bought these to wear up in snow. They were perfect. Feet were always warm and dry. Very cute and comfortable. I will have these for years. Wish I had more occasions to wear. Living in Seattle really won't wear a ton but will have when need them. I definitely recommend.

I bought a pair three years ago. People do not believe that here in the central mountain chain in New Mexico we get some bad snows. All I can say, is that my feet are never wet, the boots fit, and are comfortable.

These boots are fantastic! Comfortable and warm and cute. I spend a lot of time in hockey rinks and no longer have cold feet - yeah Sorel!

Purchased these boots after a pair of North Face boots I had bit the dust. I wanted a warmer shoe, a shoe with a thin sole so that I can feel the ground, and I wanted them to be waterproof. I got all of the above with this boot! The sole is substantial but not clunky, and they are super warm! The only thing I don't like is the fur around the top of the shoe, it just looks really dumb. I feel like this boot can stand up to serious use, but with the fur trim, I feel like a bimbo. But they are warm and work just fine so I'll put up with it. I got a size 7, which I normally wear in boots, and they do seem a little large, but perfect for fitting big socks in there! Love these!

Beautiful, functional, and super warm! I absolutely love these, and can't wait for more snow! They keep my feet warm and dry, while looking classically stylish.

I love these boots...please note that they do not run big! I bought my "true size" vs. sizing up and I regret it. I should have bought a half size up. They are awesome boots and fit very well over my muscular calves.
