Customer Reviews SOREL Explorer Joan

ordered a size 8, box said size 8, but the actual boot was a size 6

I was so excited to get these boots, but tried them on and so tight. I am a 10 in almost all shoes and boots, these were super tight and short in the toe area. I ordered a 10 1/2 still very tight, the same, it's as if it was the same boot as the 10's. Don't want to go up to 11, as I think they will look huge. I really like the style and would have ordered multiple colors, but man, get the sizing right!

I was excited about receiving these boot, but when I opened the box to look at the boots. I was very disappointed to see them in worn condition. I thought about keeping them, but couldn’t convince myself to do so.

They were so small that I could actually get my foot into them, so I had to return them.

I sure liked the way the Sorels looked online. I have several pairs of Sorels, inclusion two Joan of Arctic and Joan of Arctic wedges. I wanted a short pair of flat boots to wear to easily take the dog outside for short walk around the house. But these boots are so narrow! Way narrow!

Great looking boot. But runs WAY small and narrow! I ordered a full size up and it was still too small. I usually wear a 10M and I struggled to cram my foot into the size 11 B boot. Returning and not exchanging as I doubt I would even fit into a 12!!

Very tight and runs small.

way too small.

Got the wrong color.. selected blackend brown and got redwood.. disappointed

They felt a little small. I bought a 7 and I am usually a 6.5. Ordered these in December and did not wear them until after Christmas (they were a gift) and the right shoe inner threading that holds the insole in completely unraveled after wearing them once. YOu have to hold the inner section of the shoe and jam your foot in so you can then pull the insole sock thing that is sewn into the inner part of the boot. Very frustrated as these are over $100 and didn't even last one wear. I do not recommend these.

Fit was fine. I had ordered half size up from my normal Sorel size of 8.5. But the boot itself was a disappointment and I returned them. They looked more like something from Walmart than Sorel. Also, the photo on Zappos shows contrast between the heel and toe sections and the body of the boot...nope. All the same leather, which was thin and flimsy. I wanted to love them but, couldn’t. This would’ve been my fifth pair of Sorel.

got them BUT WRONG color in box

These boots run a whole size and a half smaller. My daughter normally wears a size 9, and had to go up to a 10 1/2. If you wear a 10 like me you will be out of luck because the boots only go up to a size 10 1/2. I tried the 10 1/2, and way to snug. Style is very cute. Gray is the cutest! Extremely warm too.

I bought these 2 months ago in hopes to wear all through winter. They felt great when I first tried them on and thought they’d be a great winter boat. Until I wore them out for the first time... They started to hurt my feet within 30 minutes and they offer no warmth during winter. I tried to wear them again and experienced the same discomfort. I am very disappointed in the quality of this winter boat. I am back to wearing my UGGS which offer way more comfort and warmth.
