Customer Reviews SOREL Explorer Joan

Super cute boot! Normally wear a 7 1/2, ordered size 8. Runs small

I have many pairs of Sorel boots and sandals and always wear a size 7, however with this boot I did have to exchange them for a 7.5. So comfortable and stylish for NE weather!

I wear a 9.5/10 regular shoe and an 11 running shoe so I was a bit worried that the 11 wouldn't be big enough given people said it runs small. Fits perfect lengthwise -- yay! May be a tad wide for my admittedly narrow foot but I think with an insole and/or thick sock, it will be just fine. I like the style too and may switch out the white laces for black once they get dirty.

Obsessed! Have been looking for a pair of waterproof, winter weather boots that I can wear to work (I teach at a high school and on a college campus) or with workout gear. Tried duck boots and hated the feel and look. My office at work is very cold and I do a lot of walking on most days. My uggs are beginning to hurt my legs and back by the end of the day being so flat so when I read the reviews on Sorel boots I figured I’d give them a try. What a wonderful surprise! Well made, sturdy boot and oh so warm! Definitely believe the reviews and order a full size up. The lining and toe box shorten this shoe. I wear a size 7 or 7 1/2 and my foot is comfortable with wider or rounded toe shoes. I ordered these in an 8 after reading the reviews and I can wear a dress sock or comfy Cotton blend sock white comfort. Definitely consider these, but be aware of the sizing.

These boots are super comfortable. I love that they are water proof and super warm.

These are comfortable, cozy, and adorable! I did a half size up per the other reviews, but it was still a little too small, so far a full size seems to be doing the trick. I have wide feet but (probably because of sizing up) these fit fine. And I have plantar fasciitis, but no pain or need for custom insoles thus far, yay.

Ordered a half size bigger and they fit great! They are warm and kept my feet dry. Also super cute and lightweight. Didn’t feel like clunky boots at all. Love these!

These are REALLY comfy and warm. Haven't worn them out in the snow and slush, but I'm very optimistic. I usually wear an 8.5, and often get boots in 9 or even 9.5 if I want to be able to wear good thick socks, but I ended up with the size ten, which has enough room for wool socks and still has a comfortable about of space in there without feeling like I'm tripping over big dumb clown feet. The grey is very cute, goes with black, brown and denim. AND DID I MENTION MY FEET ARE SWEATING? They're super toasty.

Great. Super cute

Very very small I’m usually between a 61/2 and 7.. And 71/2 was too small They’re cute but the 8 was sold out so I’ll look for other boots

I agree with many of the other reviews, the boots are great, I love the wine color. They are very comfortable BUT I too found that they run small. I usually wear an 8.5 or 9 in SOREL I had to size up to a 9.5. I also find them a bit wider that my other SOREL boots.

didn't care for the look of the fur on black ones so ordered a different color

These boots are amazingly warm and comfortable. I had to order a half size up due to thick lining. I get compliments on these all the time. I can wear these boots all day long. Love these

I love these boots. Super cute short winter boot exactly what I wanted, perfect for winter. Not to bulky a great boot for cold weather and office attire! I usually wear a 9.5 and I have narrow feet. I originally ordered a 10 but they were super snug. I would recommend a full size larger. The 10.5 are perfect!

I normally wear 8 1/2 and ordered a full size larger and fit great! Got these for a ski trip and kept my feet warm and dry.

Love these boots. Extremely comfortable for walking.

I really wished this cute boot worked for me because I really like the style. I wear 71/2 so I read the reviews and order an 8, still too small in the toe area. 81/2 is sadly sold out.

I do absolutely love these boots! I have several pair of Sorel boots and they are all high quality, comfortable, warm, and very waterproof! I like these boots so much that I bought them in both the grey and the burgundy color. If they still had the black and the tan in my size, I probably would have bought them, too! I did neglect to read the reviews before buying, otherwise I would have realized that I definitely needed to order them a full size larger than my other Sorel boots. I bought a pair of these for my daughter-in-law for Christmas, and since we wear the same size shoe, I tried them on also and loved them, but we both agree that you need to order a full size larger. Even at a full size larger, I couldn't wear them comfortably with heavy socks. However, because of the lining, I usually don't wear my other Sorel boots with socks anyway. Guaranteed you will love these! They are just really stylish short boots with excellent traction for bad weather.

I was slightly skeptical on what to expect about the width after reading the reviews. I ordered a 7, the same as what I would order with running shoes as I am a 6.5 in regular shoes. The felt slightly snug at first, but after a few hours of wear they are comfy. I do only wear thin socks with them. Very pleased with this purchase- this was also my first Sorel purchase and I will purchase this brand again.

OMG! Just got back from Montana and wore these on days when there was a few inches of snow on the ground. They are gorgeous! Bought the burgundy color and received many compliments! They kept my foot nice and dry and felt like UGGS on. They probably wouldn't work so well in deeper snow.

Love them! Great everyday winter shoes, but still feel stylish. Very comfortable.

Omg!! These are the greatest boots ever! Sooooo incredibly comfortable and warm. I love them!! I may actually get a second pair. I bought the tan. So worth the money!!! Best boots.

I normally where a 7. These fit perfect in a 7.5. The 8 was too big. Very comfortable right out of the box. And stylish. Warm without being clunky.
