Customer Reviews SOREL Explorer Joan

I really like the look of this boot! They definitely run small and slightly narrow. The medium width still works for me; they felt the tiniest bit snug when just sitting but when moving around, they felt fine. Not getting out much these days, but they'll be great for wet walks around the neighborhood, trips to the grocery store, or hanging out with friends around the fire pit.

I’ve received a lot of compliments on these already. Comfy and warm. Super cute.

I love the look and feel of these boots. They are cute and the insides are soft, warm and comfortable. I can't wait to go hiking in them. I did order a half size larger than I normally wear and they fit great.

These are super cute and incredibly comfortable! They do run small so I had to order 1/2 to 1 size bigger than I usually wear. Love them though!!

I love these boots. I echo what everyone said about ordering a half size to full size bigger depending on your sock preference. I usually wear an 8, I ordered a 8.5. They fit snug with thin ankle socks. I could have done a 9 and be comfortable also. They are super warm as well. I am worried about how water will do with them though. It says that they are water proof but they are suede so it makes me worry they will get damaged.

Love, love, love these boots. My everyday boots for the winter.

Super cute and comfy! Easy to put on and take off and very stylish! Love these! Order a half size up! So glad I did!!!

Absolutely love love these boots. They require no break in and feel like walking in running shoes. Light weight with great warmth (5 mile walks with my dogs in 30 degree temperatures and feet remained nice and warm) I have wide feet with an average size heel which makes finding comfortable shoes/boots difficult. I wear regular weight socks with them and they work perfect.

The shoe is wonderful, but very small. Tight in the toe box.

Cute boots. I ordered the black and the ash brown. The brown ones are definitely not the same color as the picture so I returned that pair. The black ones are perfect!

Love these. I bought them for chilly days when it’s not cold enough or snowy enough for my Blondo snow boots. I sized up a half size and they fit great and are very comfortable.

Love them ... fit a little narrow in the toe so went up a size

I have about 10 pairs of Sorels and am a 9.5 or 10 (in snow boots). I needed a 10.5 in these and it is very rare that I need a 10.5 in any shoe, so these do run small. I have medium to narrow feet and these are a big snug in the width. They are very warm and comfortable and very cute. I liked the camel brown with the grey on the front as well but those made my feet look huge so I stuck with the camel brown, ancient fossil which is all the same color. They did not make my feet look big. Just a thought for people with bigger feet like myself.

A little small, but overall very happy. Warm, soft, and very cozy. Zappos customer service was excellent when my first delivery went missing (presumed stolen). They promptly sent another that arrived a few days later. I am a happy camper :)

These are adorable! I took the advice and ordered a 1/2 side up but I think I need 1 full size up. The ash brown has a subtle tint of pink, which is fun.

These fit similar to other boots- although I wear a size 6 in dress shoes and "regular" shoes I always size up 1/2 to 1 size in boots and based on other reviews that was the correct decision here- the size 7 is perfect. These are SO cute and SO comfortable normally I dread the first snow but I'm ready this year! Highly recommend for comfort and style

Just what I needed! I have Raynauds Syndrome and my feet get very cold when the temperature gets below 50 degrees. Since I walk everyday outside I needed boots to keep me warm but fit like a sneaker. These fit the bill, super warm and lightweight. I would like a little more support so I may try an insole but they work fine. The size definitely runs small. I’m usually a 7 in most brands and I needed a 7.5 in these boots. To compare I also wear a 7.5 in Nike sneakers. I liked the camel brown but got the gray because I have a lot of gray pants. I would definitely recommend them. No zipper, but easy to put on ;)

I hesitated to order these because I have a wide toe box but I so glad I did! Normally I am a size 10 in Sorel boots. Based on other reviews I ordered a 10.5 and an 11. The 10.5 fits perfect even for my wide foot. These boots are so warm and so light weight! They will be a staple in my winter wardrobe!

LOVE LOVE LOVE these boots are lightweight, fashion forward, and super comfy. DEFINITELY size up 1/2 size though. I always wear 7.5 and i bought an 8, they fit perfect

These are exactly as advertised- they feel like a tennis shoe, but are cozy and warm like a boot! I rated them as small because I followed other reviewers advice and ordered a half size up. I’m normally a 9 in tennis shoes, I ordered a 9.5 and they fit great! I ordered the brown color with gray but wasn’t sure I liked the combination, so I’m exchanging for the blackened brown pair

Great, cute boots for cold, fall weather. Not sure about snow, too soon to tell. Love that they’re waterproof. Took advice of many precious reviews which said to size up. I bought 9.5, regularly wear a 9M. They fit perfectly.

Super cute shoes and very comfortable. Easy to just throw on and go out in the cold.

I really love the style of these boots. I typically wear a size 6 but sometimes a size 6.5 depending on the fit of the shoe. For these shoes I definitely needed the 6.5. Also my foot is more on the narrow side and I felt these shoes run narrow, although they fit fine for me. But someone with a wider foot might find them uncomfortable.
