Customer Reviews SOREL Joan Of Arctic™ II

This is a great boot. They're really clunky, but I love them. They are super warm but a little hard to get off even when I unlace them completely. With the fuzzy insert it's hard to find pants that you can wear over the top. I usually have to wear my pants inside, which being an old grandma looks sorta bad like I'm trying to be hip and young, and that is certainly not the case. You can't remove the insert and wear them that way because then you're walking around on the inner part of the boot with no layer to keep your feet off seams and other hard things inside the boot. I would have liked the option to wear them without the fuzzy insert-- but overall I'm very pleased. I usually wear only the Vibram 5 finger shoes and have found it very hard to go back to "regular" shoes due to the pain I end up experiencing in my feet and toes. However, with these boots they offer enough toe box room that I don't experience the pain I do in other shoes or boots, that alone makes them well worth the purchase.

I love these boots! (Too bad we've had such a mild winter.) When I first tried them on, they were so cozy, I didn't want to take them off. They are a bit roomy in my normal size, but I don't think a size smaller would have worked.

Love this boot! Would wear it every day if I could. Very warm and comfortable and I am picky!

These are the cutest boots! Style and function...I love it. I am a true 8 and the 8 is perfect with socks. The 7 would have been too small. They don't have much arch support. Nice soft suede uppers and gorgeous color and waterproof. Can't beat it.

Delivery rocked, came in a couple days. I am usually a 9 1/2 but the 9 fits fine. Stylish, utility boot...not made for serious hiking or walking, but great in the bad weather around northern Illinois and comfy. A little tough getting on and off but worth it to me.

Love this boot. Fits so well. Purchased for a skiing trip in Upstate NY and they are so warm. Perfect.

I just received my boots today and I must say that I really love them. I wear a size 8 and I ordered that size and it is a perfect fit. I wanted to order a size 9 after seeing some of the reviews but they didn't have that size so I got an size 8 thinking I might have to return them but the fit is perfect! They look cute and they seem to be very comfortable.

Incredibly warm boots! They were so comfortable right out of the box too. They are easy on/easy off, even with ski pants. I can't believe I suffered with my old boots for so long. Had I know how comfortable and warm boots could be I'd have bought these a long time ago.

These are very stylish boots, and I can tell that they would be very warm! There were a few reasons I had to return them. I wear a 7½ so I ordered the 8 and my toes hit the front and that was uncomfortable; if there were half sizes I think an 8½ would have been perfect. Pants do not fit over them and I cannot wear skinny anything to work. They are almost too cute, and I would feel very guilty destroying them in New England winters. I quickly realized that I need a pair of boots I can throw on and trudge through the elements without worry, so I went with the Kamik Greenbay4 instead. I would definitely recommend these to anyone who wants them for their style points. To be honest if I could justify having multiple pairs of winter boots, I would have kept them.

Love these boots. So comfortable for walking and sledding. They almost make me wish it snowed more. But shhh...don't tell the weather that!

Beautiful boot. Very true to size. Nice wide width so you can wear thick socks! I love my Sorel boots!

Yes, it is true I bought these boots in part because of their name. But I'm keeping them for their performance. My feet haven't been cold once while wearing them--and while there hasn't been much snow in Vermont, there have been plenty of days below 0. That being said, I've also worn them in the office a few days and my feet were not uncomfortably warm. Whatever the insulation is, it works!! There's plenty of room to tuck jeans into the top of the boot, even with my ginormous calves! I love having the rubber bottoms, too! I could not ask for a better boot!

Love these 'boots with the fur!' it's been a mild winter but the days I have been lucky enough to be able to use them I don't want to take them off... They keep my feet incredibly warm through frigid temps and all types of wet stuff. A little heavy, and the backs rub against my calves, but nothing socks can't help.

Love this boot. Warm, comfortable, and fashionable as well. I'm a true 7.5 and the 7 fits perfectly. I think the 8 would have been too bulky.

I love these boots! I just got back from Utah in the snow and slush. My feet were toasty and dry. They are easy to slip on and off and felt comfortable right off the bat. They run a little bigger than my usual size 8.

This shoe is perfect for the snow! Since it's waterproof, the suede doesn't get ruined, and it's slip-proof too. They are also pretty fashionable up here in freezing Chicago.

Had a great experience with Zappos. Their return/exchange policy rocks! Took them to Austria this winter and had a blast!

I ordered these in the taffy/port/royal color shortly after Christmas. I figured since I live in the snow belt it would be a good idea to invest in some nice snow boots. These are expensive, but they are worth every penny! The color is great, they are very comfortable (like tennis shoe comfortable) and incredibly warm. The fur liner snaps in and out so that you can wear them either way. A wonderful investment piece that looks great with jeans for style or they can easily be worn for function. Highly recommend!

Love them, wish the loops at the top didn't pop off when I yank on them to get them on, but otherwise they are great.

So cute and functional to boot (no pun intended)! These boots take me from being fashionable in the city to keeping me dry and warm in all my intense outdoor activity. The Slate color looks great and goes with many different colors in my wardrobe.

These boots are so cute! And they keep my feet warm and toasty even in the coldest of weather. I also love that they're waterproof. I usually wear a size 7, so I ordered a size 7 originally, but they were a bit too short, so I ordered a size 8. Lengthwise, they're perfect, but a bit wide for my narrow-ish feet. Thick socks help make up the difference. These boots are mostly very comfortable, but slightly heavy, so I wouldn't wear them all day at my job where I'm on my feet most of the time. But great for trudging through cold and snowy NYC.

The response was fantastic, the first boots I ordered weren't the color my wife wanted. Zappos sent the right color immediately and didn't charge my credit card for them. I returned the first boots and received notice they were received. One charge for both and I paid no postage either way.

These are very stylish and warm! I found these true to size unlike many of the reviews. I listened to the reviews and ordered a size smaller. They were definitely too small. My toes were jammed at the end, especially with thicker winter socks. Overall, these are great boots for the money!

These boots are worth it, ladies! I hate when my feet are either cold or wet -- it will literally ruin my day. So this is like the ultimate insurance policy against wet and cold. I normally wear a 7.5 (med width) and the 7 fit me perfectly. It's worth it to get the size right though because they are rubber and will not stretch the way leather will. Since Zappos has free returns it's worth it to find what fits you best. When you get your size right you'll be so happy to have these. They're like a cozy warm fuzzy bathrobe... for your feet.

These boots are awesome! They are warm as can be. I was outside all day in 20 degree weather and I only had one pair of socks on, my feet were never cold! They run a little big. I bought a 10 as that is my normal size and I easily could have had another pair of thick socks on. I also got a ton of compliments on how cute and cool they are!
