My second pair of Sorel Joan boots, and I love them. Super comfortable, can wear and walk around all day while looking stylish.

Im so thrilled with my Sorel's. I live in Alaska and my job requires me to be outside tromping around in snow, sleet, and ice while still looking stylish. The durability and traction are unmatched. I'm already looking for other styles to purchase for this year!

Cute wedges albeit not practical for heavy winter. They have mediocre traction so you couldn’t walk forever in them or do anything too rigorous.

These are comfortable. I don’t really like the bottom tread. Cute with jeans.

I love Sorel, and I have a few other versions of the Joan of Arctic collection - love them all.
I’ve been very disappointed by everything from them this year but these are the first shoes that feel like real Sorels again. They aren’t perfect; the fit is a little bit off, and although it looks just the picture and is true to description, I was personally hoping for a slightly higher heel. The feel almost like flats. The color is more grey than the picture, but they are definitely an olive green.
Overall they’re good, nothing remarkable.
I’ll probably keep looking for a better option… hopefully their collection next year is significantly better than this year!

Love these boots! They’re comfortable and give me just the right amount of height. They were a little snug with thick socks, but after a few wears, they are perfect. I also like the grip of the sole.

Super cute, also super warm! They run a little big IMO, I ordered an 8 1/2, which is my normal size in Sorel's and I could have sized down a half size, even with socks on. But otherwise they are great and I get compliments when I wear them.

The fit and size were great but I ordered the shoe based on the color I saw and not the description of the color. I was expecting brown and got a green (sage) boot.

I love the look of these. The right shoe is a little tight in the toe area but big socks and walking around the house helped that. The traction is awesome, no sliding on wet concrete. I love the height. My plantar fasciitis doesn’t hurt at all in these. Love, love, love.

Waaaaaaaa, boohoo. That is the sound of me having to return these super cute ankle boots because they just didn't fit. I'm giving them four stars because they are so awesome to look at! I took them out of the box and and tried them on like five times, just hoping something would change. Maybe thicker socks? Nope. My shoe size has been a solid 7.5 for thirty years. My feet are narrow. These were *extra* snug in the toe and *extra* sloppy/roomy in the heel. They remained that way no matter the sock or prayer I tried. Like, they were kind of flopping around as I walked. I even tried to convince myself for a moment that the sloppiness was *ok*. As cute as they are, sadly, I have to return. I might try a size 7, but I'm pretty sure they will be too tight length wise and across the toe and likely still sloppy in the heel. If you are narrow across your toes and have extra wide heels, these just might be the shoes for you! I will be sulking until I find something else as cute and styley as these that actually work for me.

Absolutely gorgeous! I love the soft gray with the caramel colored soles. I only gave four start because my feet did hurt a bit as I walked the magnificent mile in Chicago. That walk needed my Sorel tennis shoes instead!

I have several pair of these Joan of Arctic wedges. These are super cute and the leather is dressy. However, the toe box is very narrow and the right boot felt almost a half size smaller than the left.

This will be my 4th pair of Sorel boots. I’ve ordered a 9.5 in the other styles, but this one fit a little big, (exchanging it for a 9). The heel area was a little wide/loose, and more shallow than a typical bootie. I like that because you have more ankle exposure (narrow point).
Confort level was great, I worked a full day on my feet (hairstylist) and only felt a little sore, but I blame the new style for that.
Looking forward to the half size down and getting to wear these!

I haven't worn mine a huge amount yet (plus or downside of being stuck at home a lot due to current state of things). I live in MN, so have worn these waterproof ones in snow and my feet do stay dry. I usually wear size 8.5, but I got 9's since I figured I would be wearing thicker socks with them, and that's worked out well. My main critique is I read the reviews about how comfortable these are, but I wish they were a little more comfy. I suppose you should expect this since they aren't flats and have a bit of an incline from the heel, but I ended up adding some Superfeet insoles to make them more comfortable when standing for long periods of time. Granted I'm almost 50, LOL. I was surprised when taking out the old insoles that the footbed of these is hard plastic, so that probably explains it. Also the narrow heel means they're more tippy than if they had a wider heel.

I’ve been drooling over these for over a year! I ordered the black and I went down half a size, I usually wear 9 and the 8 1/2 fits perfect. I had tried them on over a year ago, if you can go to a store that’ll help out a lot with sizing. The leather is nice and comfortable. The heel height is doable and I love the tread, nice and chunky.
Im on the fence about keeping them tho.

This is a beautiful shoe. It was probably my fault but I didn’t realize that the wedge was so high. I am tall. I was not looking for a heel that was that high. The heel made it uncomfortable. Returned. This was not for me.

LOVE the look. I also have the Joan of Arctic Wedge II Chelsea, but I liked the look of the side zip for dressing up a bit. These fit a half size smaller and a bit more narrow than the Chelseas. Also, the top of the shoe seems to hit the front of my ankle which will likely take some time to break in. Overall, they're incredibly comfortable. Something I've come to expect from Sorel. Can't wait to wear them more!

Very stylish, comfortable & good support, was a little narrow for me across the front, I ordered my true size, but returned for 1/2 size larger & they are perfect with a not so thick sock. There is a gap in back due to larger size, but I'm ok with that, comfort is my goal. It's a great quality shoe & brand the shoe may break in as you wear them but, I didnt want to take the chance. So far sizing up a half size was a great choice. I wouldn't go up a whole size they will certainly be to large.

I have many pairs of Sorel. Oddly, the sizing has changed. I have older pairs in a size 10 but now I find that I need to order the shoe in a size 10.5. To be fair I have a wide foot. This particular shoe fit fine in the 10.5, but didn’t look right in the patent leather - too shiny and while the low wedge is comfortable, the style doesn’t work for me.

They were a little tight across the ball of the foot but form to my foot.

I love Sorel Joan of Arctic Wedges and this is actually my 3rd pair. For something different I bought the black patent leather unfortunately that high gloss finish on a rather industrial style wedge makes the shoe look like it's a black rubber rainboot style rather than high finish patent leather. It's look like stylish than the same boot in a different colour. Next time I'll still to the normal leather finish.

I love all Sorels, but they weren't as light in color as the picture. They were just brown... It bothered me, but not enough to return them. Again... I like them all. The wedge fits great.
