I bought these for winter walking and activities. My feet stay warm, the boots are light weight, and very comfortable!

These boots feel really good. I love that they are light. I don't love the style, I'd prefer without the fur looking edge. I really don't like the light colored shoestrings but those are easy to replace. I decided to keep them because they feel so comfortable and once I change out the strings, I think they will look much better.

I was looking for a warm winter boot for walking. These are perfect! They’re very comfy with good support while also being lightweight. They keep my feet warm as well. I can walk for several miles in them no problem.

I had scoured over several boots from Sorel and different brands and am so happy I purchased the Joan Boot. These boots are lightweight and super warm. I needed a boot to be outside during winters in Massachusetts while my kids play and these are perfect. I have not walked in the snow in them so I cannot comment on that, but am overall so pleased. They are comfortable and stylish so I will often wear them all day. I highly recommend!

I usually wear an 11, so ordered a size 12 due to the reviews. The 12 was too wide, so I returned for an 11. Initially my toes felt like they were at the end of the boot, but with a little wear, they molded to my feet and are now perfect. I teach, so am on my feet all day, and they are great.

Love this boot, very comfortable and true to size recommendation. I have heel spurs so it's a challenge finding a comfortable boot, Looks great on and does feel like a sneaker.

Great investment. Keeps my feet warm and I get lots of compliments on the style of the boot. Comfortable and fits well. Not bulky or clunky.

I cannot say how much I love these boots. I bought them to survive the playgrounds in the NYC winter, and they keep my feet toasty warm on the chilliest and breeziest of days. On top of that, I've gotten lots of compliments. They're not massively bulky like snow boots. One note I'd have is that it's unlikely I'd take them out in serious snow - I doubt they could keep my feet dry in slushy NYC snows.

I love these boots they are so comfortable. They didn't have my size in the color I wanted so got this one and have received so many compliments! I wear with leggings and they are perfect! I would say order 1/2 a size up. They are perfect for walking m, going out etc I love them!

I bought a pair of these last year and totally love them. Bought a pair for my daughter- equally cute boots. But: know that they run small- I'm an 8.5 and needed a 9.5. If you are a 12, the biggest size which is 12- won't fit. So sad they didn't fit my girl and I had to send back. Still love mine.

I live in Buffalo, so I need something for every day out and about use and for walking my dogs. I bought these a few months ago and so far I am very happy. They are lightweight, warm, comfortable and oh-so adorable. I purchased elastic laces to convert these to slip ons, which has been awesome. Some reviewers were disappointed in the quality. For what these boots cost and their construction, I am very pleased. A buyer should have realistic expectations. I normally wear a 6.5 -7 in boots and took a 7.5 in these.

Totally love these boots. Super soft & comfy, and actually keep my feet toasty warm (but not at all sweaty). Also seem to work quite well in wet and slushy weather. Highly recommend!

I love these boots. They are warm and provide lots of comfort. I've been wearing them outside in 0-20 degree weather. I'd recommend going up in either a 1/2 or 1 full size. These are pretty narrow boots as well.

This is my second pair of Joan explorer boots. My husband gave me a pair 2 years ago for Christmas and I got a new pair this year. I can't tell you how often I receive complements on them and how nice they look. Not to mention how warm they are!

I've had a Sorel boot for heavy, winter weather for years, so I know they make a great product. I've had my boot for YEARS. This boot though, I ordered was for my daughter for Christmas. I read the reviews prior to ordering and took the advice of others and ordered her one size up ~ an 8. She has told me on SEVERAL occasions how much she LOVES this boot and has worn it several times with our Wisconsin weather. It's a light-weight boot so it's great with running errands or being out and about, yet looks fashionable too for this 24 year old. She wears them quite often. I don't think I'd wear these for sledding or heavy snow activity, but she absolutely LOVES this boot! She says they are very comfortable and keep her feet warm. She loves the color too because they it goes with everything. DEFINITELY happy with the purchase.

I bought these boots this year and absolutely love them! Before buying them I did read the reviews and one person said that you may want to size up because they run on the smaller side. I'm glad I did! You do have to break them in, but after wearing them a few times they fit wonderfully. These boots are warm and look very cute on.

Great for our snowy dog walks. Bought a half size larger and they fit fine. Love the fact that they are relatively easy to get on and light on my feet. I had a pair of older Sorels (25 yrs old) and they finally wore out... not the outside rubber but the inside lining that was scratching. These new boots are great!

Order up at least 1/2 a size if not a full size. I am a 7.5 and ordered an 8. The 8 was super snug, too narrow across the toes and felt a bit short. It might stretch but I was not going to take the chance of my toes being squished. I ordered an 8.5 and it feels good in the toe box, a little bit of slip in the heel but not enough to be concerned about. The boot itself is super comfortable and has decent arch support. I have not been outdoors yet but my sense is that they will be warm.
