Customer Reviews SOREL Joan Of Arctic™ II

Very difficult to get on and off - the materials are too stiff. Once one, the boot is way too tight around the entire foot, making it impossible to wear any socks. Disappointing.

Worst purchase I have made. These boots are so painful I will never be able to wear them again. I wore them once and it felt like I had left the cardboard insert in the left boot but that was not the case. The boot cut the skin so badly I had to walk on my tiptoes until I could take them off. Would not recommend to anyone.

I thought they were the ultimate boot to keep my feet warm, but after 3 hours at a football game in 30 degree weather, my feet were frozen. I was super disappointed because I love the look and fit!

I bought these boots last year and did not write a review then. I am currently shopping for a new pair of winter snow boots and felt the need to let others know my opinion. These are difficult to get on to start with. I am a size 7 so the size of my foot is no issue. Although they did keep my feet warm and dry, they were not at all comfortable. There is no arch support and I found the bottoms to be very hard. The worst thing about these boots is they are VERY heavy and do not flex easily! I wore these for the first time to go sled riding and was completely exhausted from trying to walk in them. It is a shame because I do like the overall style and appearance. Definitely not worth the money to be uncomfortable though!

This boot didn't work for me at all. I wear a 10.5 and based on reviews went with the 10. The size was OK but the 11 would have fit better. Sent is back not b/c of length but because they are the heaviest boots I ever put on. Also they were uncomfortable everywhere and ankle, calf, shin. Just didn't work at all.

Like a few other reviewers, I couldn't get these boots past my ankle. I ordered an 8 (I normally wear anything from a 7 to an 8, depending on the shoe) and don't have a large foot or a large calf by any means... but there was no way this shoe was going on. What a disappointment; I'd been coveting these boots for months and was so excited when they went on sale!

I need waterproof boots to work outdoors in the snow at ski resorts. Despite Sorel's claims of Joan of Arctic boots being waterproof my boots leak every time I walk in the snow. If I'm out walking around or working for more than an hour, my feet freeze, even with foot warmers. Mind you I am out working five to eight hours. Now I need to buy a different pair of boots, one that is actually waterproof. The boots are cute and comfortable- if the lining is in correctly, but I am very unhappy freezing my toes off!

The inner lining and the outer shell sizes did not correspond on the boots I received. The proper larger sized inner lining was inserted into the outer shell that was three sizes smaller. Needless to say the boots didn't fit.
