Customer Reviews SOREL Explorer Joan

Great, stylish boot! Cozy and warm. Feel good from the moment you put them on! The other reviews are so helpful. Definitely order a half size or full size larger. I'm typically a 7.5 and I got an 8.

Cute and comfortable, however they do run small. I usually wear 9.5-10 and had to order 10.5

Order one full size up! I ordered the 9 1/2 thinking I was ordering up enough (usually wear 9). Still has not enough length for my foot. Love them very stylish for winter boots. Warm and cozy.

Very comfortable but I don't like the light sole.

These are cute but they run insanely short! I wear a 6, 6.5, or 7 in all shoes. Usually a 7 in sorels (the Joan styles). I had to return this 2x and ended up with an 8! The 7.5 was way too short. The 8 feels and looks really wide but necessary to fit length. Anyway, they’re cozy and they feel like really warm sneakers. I got the gray and think it’s a versatile color!

I read that they run a little small so I ordered an 8. I usually wear 71/2 shoe. They are very lightweight, warm and super cute! I ordered the grey.

I ordered a half size bigger so I could wear these boots with my heavy smart wool socks ang they fit well and are warm.

Size up! These run small. Normally a size 8 but I tend to size up to an 8.5 for boots. I had to size up to a 9 in these; my toe was rubbing up against the front of the boot in the 8.5 (even with thin socks on). Cute and comfortable though if you can get the sizing right.

Bought for a granddaughter, she loves them

I have a long narrow foot with a high arch. I struggle with boots in general. These are great because the laces keep them snug enough to do some walking. With my insoles they are very comfortable. I wear a 9 1/2 and had to size up to a 10 1/2. Can’t wait to try them in the snow.

Too narrow and one size too small. Also not very comfy.

Finally I tried my new boots for the first time yesterday. they are a good looking boot which does not make my feet look as big as they are and not too heavy. good support on soles of the boot but I feel these would not be good in the snow for any period of time. I used them for walking the dog on the side of the road after a snow,freezing rain storm and felt the cold on the bottom of my feet after a short walk, too bad because the rest of my foot was warm on the walk. they are high on the ankle which I found uncomfortable for me and are difficult to pull on if you're a senior. you youngsters would not have any difficulties.

I ordered this boot in a 7 (my usual size is a 6/6.5) and my toes were bumping against the front. Ordered a 7.5 so we'll see if that works. The port color is adorable, a nice accent if you wear a lot of neutral colors.

I love Sorel boots, and these were no different. They have a pretty comfy sole, some light arch support, and they feel very sturdy in case you're dealing with snow/ice. I think they'll be warm and cozy for winter trips!

Very cute boot. Nice for short outings. Nothing you would want to wear all day outdoors in cold weather. I intended them for Wisconsin winter hiking. I returned them due to not enough insulation. They would be great for brief jaunts around campus as you would not need to take them off while indoors. Very light weight so they would be good for travel. Very comfortable, I could wear them all day. Just not in a very cold climate with a lot of outdoor time. They are suede so I would spray them with protectant from salt and slush. The grey color is very nice and would go with anything you wear. I ordered my normal size and they are perfect.

Order a bigger size than your normal size!

Great style, although a bit stiff. Perhaps they would soften up with wear. Note that they definitely run small. At least half a size. I recommend, if you take the size into consideration.

Love the boot. More like a tennis shoe feel than a boot. Cute and cozy. However, this boot runs VERY narrow. I have a narrow foot and got my normal size. Fits in the length but just so narrow. Kept them because they are cute and hope they stretch a little. They don’t seem that warm but I wanted something that wasn’t clunky and can handle slush/light rain...they should work good for that. We will see!

I liked the styling of these boots, but they ran narrow and short, so I am returning.

I’m normally an 8 in all shoes, in general. The first time around, the 8 was too small in both width and length. I was worried an 8.5 still wouldn’t be big enough so I went for a 9. The length is a bit long but nothing terrible and the width is just right. I think an 8.5 would’ve been too narrow. Overall, the boots are very comfortable, warm, and super lightweight. I’m just worried they won’t last long.

They are nice and light weight but just too narrow. I do have a wider foot but don’t usually require a wide shoe. Very cute however!

My only concern with these amazingly comfortable/stylish boots, is the support. I walked miles in these, as we attended a college football game. By the end of the evening, my lower back pain was hardly bearable. The only question I have, was it due to lack of support? I rarely experience back pain.
