Customer Reviews SOREL Explorer Joan

I sized up in this boot as recommended and the larger size did fit. This is a nice boot that felt comfortable and looks good. I realize I need a bit of a higher boot for the backsplash of winter as I walk around the city. I would recommend this boot if you are looking for a low boot.

These are def cute!! Tired of clunking around all winter long,...I've been wanting a warm winter/snow boot that's less bulky, but can handle the Colorado winters. I think these will be the bomb!! However, they run AT LEAST a full size smaller!!! I have two Sorel winter boots from previous years size 8's (fit perfect)...I had to return size 8 and 8.5's for a size 9 and I probably could go with a 9.5!!! I have to take insole out to make the 9's work since the color I like in the 9.5's are out of stock :(

Im normally always an 8 wish was way too small I’m gonna have to go up a full size

I followed the advice of other reviewers and bought one size up from my normal Sorel boot size and this was too big with average weight socks. They did feel very light and comfortable. I didn’t love the style on me, so I didn’t reorder.

I am a true 7.5 in 95% of every shoe or boot I order. These boots fit a bit snug and I was tempted to send back for 1/2 size larger. However, the arch is in the perfect place and I realized that I really don't need much of a sock with these as they are super warm. Have worn them for a few long walks now and I think the 7.5 will be fine. Love the look and construction.

These look great and would feel great if they were a half size bigger.

A solid 4 but still a standout for my hard to fit foot. I was disappointed that the color of the shoes was not well represented on the screen. they appear to be a dark grey and light grey online and in fact are a light grey side and heathered light grey down the middle. Its not the look i wanted but they're really nice anyway so i kept them.

really comfy but runs a little small

I am nearly always a size 8 in shoes, so I tried this boot in 8 1/2 & 9 based on other reviews. I plan to keep the 9s (once the color I want comes back in stock), an entire size up from my typical size. I am use to buying hiking boots and running shoes in bigger sizes for more toe room, but I think these boots just run small. These are not as clunky as my other Sorel boots, so I am looking forward to being able to wear these out and about for errands. I am a teacher and will wear these for rainy days at school while standing at bus duty and getting around the campus which typically floods with heavy rains.

Size up! These were very tight even with light socks. Thank you Zappos for your awesome return policy!

Pros :Very warm boot and great for walking. Nice color options. Cons :too narrow and runs small, need to size up.

Gorgeous, love them. I am a 6.5 / 7 and had to order an 8.

I followed the other reviews and went a half size up. They still felt tight and narrow, particularly in the toe bed and I almost exchanged for a full size up. I noticed they weren't as tight when I took the insert out and determined a little wear would compress it ans make more space. After having worn them for several days they are now comfortable (with a regular sock) and warm. I haven't gone up against any actual snow yet, just temps in the low 30s.

I received my boots today. I like the style, but they definitely run small. I normally wear size 8.5 and size 9 was too small. I ordered a 9.5. I’m hoping that ordering a full size larger will work for me. I’m hoping that Sorel improves the sizing with these boots.
