Customer Reviews SOREL Joan Of Arctic™ II

Love them: very warm! I am Canadian so I know a good winter boot...easy to pull on, treads are not so enormous that you track a ton of snow and ice inside, but enough provide no-slip. The laces make the shaft adjustable for a variety of leg sizes and pant options. They feel like slippers, possibly a little on the big side. (I wear a 7 and bought a 7...a 6.5 might have been better, but not available in the half size. Nothing a half insole couldn't solve!) I have received compliments on them from men, women and kids! I think they have a slightly sexy ski-bunny look to them!

Love these boots. Great for being outside in snowy MN. They make my feet look big, but they're cute and warm.

I love these boots! I am a 10 - 10.5. I ordered 11 so I could wear med to heavy weight socks. The size is perfect; snug with a little wiggle room for my toes. I have large calves but can still lace them up comfortably or just not lace the very top. Wore them yesterday to clean my horse corrals. After 2 hours in icy wet mud and manure, they still look great and my feet stayed dry and toasty warm. I'm also still marveling that I ordered them in the afternoon on 12/23 and they were here before noon on 12/24. How do they do that?!

I got these boots for my wife. She loves them - they look good, feel good, and keep her warm. They are stiff, but that should be expected. They are easy to walk in and have good grip. These boots are overkill on warmer days, so my wife wears different ones. By the way, I have never shopped anywhere that ships as fast as Zappos....Good job.

Love Zappos' overnight delivery! I received my Sorels size 6. I'm a 6 or 6.5 usually and the size is great. I would never go to a 7. They are pretty cute for winter boots.

Warm and waterproof. Gotten many compliments. Not enough arch support for me so I bought inserts for them. Seem to be holding up great. I'm very happy.

I could sleep in these boots they are so warm and cozy. Plus they are adorable looking! It is raining bullets outside and my feet are dry and warm. I will get thicker socks so my heel doesn't raise up so much when I walk but hey, they're boots. The sole is very flexible which surprises me a bit, but seems not to be a problem.

I love this boot! I wear a size 11 medium and the boot in my true size fit well. The back of the heel does rub a little, but I found that with readjusting the ties and tucking my pants all the way in, this was not an issue. I am planning on buying a pair for my daughters after Christmas. Great boot for walking through the snow.

I love these boots. They do run big. I normally wear a 9 but I got a 8. These boots are very warm and are so comfortable.

I bought a size smaller than I usually wear and I am glad I did - because they fit as though they are a full size larger than they should be.

These are super warm snow boots. The inside is pretty stiff at first, but I do a ton of walking in them and they are starting to loosen up. Love them.

I love these boots! We get lots of snow which means I get plenty of use out of these beauties. I'm glad I stayed with my usual size, and not a size down like some reviews said to do. Like some other reviewers I too get compliments on these all the time. Thank you Sorel for making cute snow boots and Zappos for the fastest shipping ever!

These boots are perfect! Super comfortable - just like my old (and dog chewed) pair that I replaced with these. The suede color is great! The red sole is totally unique, and pinkish-red stitching makes these boots look both cute and rugged. I was not sure I was going to like them, until they showed up, because the picture does not do them justice. I absolutley love them! Order one size down, they do run big.

These shoes are great looking and earn lots of compliments. They wear better after wearing for a few days. They keep my feet warm. They are a bit wide, so I put an insole in them, and now they are perfect.

I love these boots! I get compliments every time I wear them. Everyone, and I mean everyone tells me how much they love my boots!

These boots are super warm and comfortable. I think I'll buy another pair in a different color.A little stiff at first but they have broken in quickly. Love that they are waterproof.

I saw these boots and immediately fell in love with them. When they arrived they were even more awesome then depicted. Just like the other reviews, I stuck with my shoe size instead of going up like I usually do with boots. They're roomy, but in a good way that doesn't squish your toes. I also really like how they come up higher on the leg than some other boots. Can't wait for the Canadian winter to try them out!

Definitely the warmest and best boot for a Minnesota winter. Keeps your feet dry, comfy, and the treads on the bottom prevent those ever-embarrassing slips whilst running to the bus. Very glad I invested in these babies. I did have to buy them a full size smaller than I usually would (I wear a 7.5/8 in regular shoes and went with a 7 here).

Loved these boots. They are super cute and seem to be warm. However, I am returning them. I have very thin feet, also slightly narrow. Given all the reviews, I ordered a size down. While I can wear them, my toe is all the way at the end -- barefoot. So I am returning them for my normal size. I am a 7 and that's what I should have ordered! Maybe if you were a half size, that is when it would be best to size down. Otherwise, not sure why so many are making that suggestion.

GREAT BOOTS. I live at a very high altitude in a ski town with snow falling the majority of the year. Warm, dry, cozy feet. Will slip on ice if not careful, as with everything else. I recommend Yak Tracks for that :)

I love these boots, but I am exchanging them for a smaller size. I normally wear a size 9. I ordered the 9s thinking that I would be wearing thick winter socks with them. Unfortunately, they were still huge! Going to order a full size smaller.

I love these boots. They are so comfortable and warm! Do order a size smaller - I'm glad I read other reviews about the sizing. I normally wear a 7.5M and ordered a 7 after reading the reviews. They fit perfect with thick socks. They are so warm and so cute - my 15 year old is very jealous!

Love these boots. It's like walking "in buttah" for their softness, warmthness, and coolness. Rave reviews from this college girl.

The shale color is a little darker gray than pictured, online it looks more beige gray. This doesn't bother me at all - I love the color. It is a beautiful boot and feminine with the fur trim which really helps when you are wearing a clunky but essential waterproof boot such as this. It is a taller boot which also helps slim the clunk down a lot. I am tall at 5'10" so it isn't too tall for my leg; I really like the styling a lot. I have no problems with the rubbing at the back of the heel mentioned in other reviews, but it feels just a tad tight around the biggest part of my foot. I do not typically wear a wide width so this is a little weird. I am wearing them around the house today to see if it is going to be a problem I will need to return them for. I hope not because I really love how this boot looks. I am a shoe size 9.5 and ordered a ten in this boot which was perfect for length. This is my second pair of Sorels and it is an extremely well made boot, will keep you warm and dry. This boot looks just a million times better than my other pair! Zappos got this boot to my door within 24 hours of placing order. Amazing!

I ordered a half size smaller like the other reviews suggested but they are too small. I'm normally a 6.5 and I ordered a 6 and they definitely fit like a 6. I'm going to have to send them back and order the next size up. Hopefully they won't be too big! Besides that, the boots are super cute. They were very warm for the few minutes that I had them on. The toe is much wider than pictured, almost like an UGG boot, to allow for the liner to fit. It doesn't look weird though. These are definitely very cute practical snow boots for a great price. The only problem I felt was that the back of the ankle was very rigid, but I would imagine that would soften up after wearing them for a little while.
