Customer Reviews SOREL Explorer Joan

I received the boots and they were too small. I ordered a 1/2 size bigger and they did not fit at all. It actually crossed my mind that they were sized wrong. I had to return them and will not be reordering them again. The plus side was the boot was actually a nice looking boot with a very nice caramel color.

I measure a nine and in these my toe is up to the end of the boot. I won’t be able to wear anything other than a thin sock with these. That said, they’ll be great to walk the dog and run errands. Super comfy, cushy sole. Order a half size up if you want to play in the snow and cold.

Runs small, I went up a half size and still won’t allow for thick winter socks but it’s pretty warm even when thin socks. If you choose to wear with thicker socks, I recommend a whole size up from your normal size.

I was really excited to get these boots. I think they look pretty cute, but they run small. I usually wear an 8.5-9, so I ordered the size 9. The nine felt super tight. I returned.

This shoe was crazy narrow. Very uncomfortable for a boot. I returned it right away with no problems at all. It’s cute looking so if one has a very, very narrow foot this boot is great.

Runs very small. I needed a full size larger.

I am not able to get them on! I wasn't able to slide my foot through the narrow part. I guess I need a wider leg opening. Bummer. I love the way they look.

The fit was amazing! They’re so comfortable and warm. I love walking and snowshoeing in my Sorels. The problem is that in my second season of wearing them, the color has faded considerably in spots. They were black, but now they look awful. I’m very disappointed. I thought maybe it was salt stains but it’s not. The color has faded.

I was really excited to get these boots. They are very cute and look well made. However, the fit is so awkward. I read a ton of reviews before buying them and did as most people recommended (went up a full size). I normally wear an 8 or 8.5. I got these in a 9.5 to be on the safe side and they were still snug. I've never purchased a 9.5 let alone a 10 my entire life. Such a bummer.

I was super disappointed with these boots. I loved the look, they are so cute and just the height I was looking for. They run so small. I am a 10 in almost all boots, including many pairs of sorel boots, but these were very tight, in the toes and on top of the toes was very compressed. I ordered 1/2 size bigger and seemed to be same size! I wish boot companies would get their sizing right, because this year this has been a problem with several brands, not sure why. All my old size 10 boots and shoes fit fine, so my feet have not grown.

So disappointed - these are a full size if not more too small!! Narrow toe box too. Great tread - was really hoping they would fit.

Are usually wear 10 1/2 like clockwork in Sorel . However, I have had a lot of trouble with all the styles for this year in boots. They are not fitting comfortably and I have returned a few pairs. Some are too too big and some are too small. These are too short and narrow. Toe box narrow.

Too small, felt cheap.

I bought these boots in an 11 thinking I was good (went up a half size). They were too tight all over. They were very narrow and my toes were to the front of the boot. I really liked the style, but sadly going to return. I won't be getting the 12s. I feel like I'd be swimming in those.
