Customer Reviews SOREL Joan of Arctic™ Wedge III Zip

Comfy wedge but the zipper is very difficult to zip! I'm able to slip this wedge on and off without unzipping it, thankfully, because it is impossible to zip up when my foot is in it. Even when I'm holding it in my hand it's difficult to zip up (easier to unzip). I don't know if spraying the zipper would make it work? I don't want to mar the leather if I get any spray on the boot. Other than the zipper issue, the wedges are very comfortable & I like the brown color. I just wish I bought the ones without a zipper. I have black pair and live them & don't have to worry about zipper issues.

Love these shoes but I bought them and the zipper broke on one pair I wore them so I couldn't take them back too much money to fix the zipper and now I'm wearing them with a broke zipper . However they are so comfortable and super cute! Maybe I just got one bad shoe but would still recommend

A bit too roomy- I am a 9.5/10 and wanted a fit to tailor my last. Jury's out on comfort.

I'm not sure what star rating to give these booties because for the right person they will be perfect. I have lots of Sorel footwear, most in a size 8.5 (instead of an 8) because the front of my foot is a bit wide. I wear 8W in many other brands comfortably. With that said, I feel like this a plus sized shoe, if that is a thing? It is wide in the heel, larger in the circumference opening, wide in the forefoot - my foot slipped right out as I tried to walk. They were unusable to me. Beautiful construction, comfortable to wear all-day. Probably great for someone who has larger ankles, swelling, etc.

Pros of these boots are worth noting. These boots are gorgeous. They are so stylish. It looks good with jeans and leggings. I love the color so much. It has great ridges as the bottom so this would be perfect for winter, snowy and icey months. It will be safe to walk in them as they have a perfect grip that keeps you from slipping or falling down. It is nicely made. There is not one flaw on it. Lastly I love the wedge, it's stylish. Looks unique. Without goes on saying, nothing is perfect. Here are the cons.It is narrow. I have a wide feet and it was not fully comfortable. However i am trying to see if it will break and get more comfortable as the time goes by. If I were you, I would order it half a size up or if you have wide feet order boots that are for wide feet. Second, It is not waterproof. I wore it on a rainy day, my socks were little damp which kind of worries me for the winter months.Third, I feel like as I use this, the dirt and water is going to leave stains on the booth. It's not leather so the dirt stays on. Overall, its a good quality boot. It's well made. Everything seems nice and tucked in. There are no strings or glue sticking out. It looks so amazing but it does have serious issues as it is meant for winter. This could be a good boot to wear in the fall when the weather is dry. If you can work with these flaws, it might be a good option to purchase.

It's a bit disappointing because I love the other pairs of Sorel boots that I own, but they do not offer different widths and for that I had to return the boots I bought in black when the zipper malfunctioned because my foot was too wide. Sadness.

I have had several pairs of similar Sorel booties over the years, and unfortunately it seems the quality of the product is slipping. The Evie (which is the same style I had previously) is cut more narrowly avross the toe box and the side zippers are extremely difficult to move up and down (regardless of whether or not a foot is in the boot) i am disappointed because in recent years I had depended on this brand for my collection of winter footwear. Unless QC returns, neither will I!

I ordered these boots, expecting the ombr look as is pictured. Needless to say, they are a single shade of purple. According to the advertisement, the toe area and heel area should be slightly darker and gradually fade to the solid purple color. I am totally disappointed! Was it believed the consumer would not notice that the item received was different than the one advertised?

Bought them for work. Returned. Very heavy and clunky.

I bought my Joan of Arctic Wedge II Zip bootie in Fall of 2020 and LOVE them!!! Please bring back the Wedge II without the "jutting out sole" at the back of the boot that the Wedge III has. Mine are perfect and I am already fretting about how I will replace when they are worn out. As someone else stated, this sole looks like a trip hazard while going down stairs, and just makes the boot look less streamlined and less professional/feminine. I wear my Wedge IIs with jeans, dressier slacks and tights and dresses.

I wanted to like these wedges and I would have if both shoes would have been consistently the same but that was not the case. The right shoe was much larger/wider than the left. There is a visible difference between the two shoes, not just my feet. The front of the right shoe went up higher than the left on my leg causing a ton of pain when walking as it dug in. The left shoe fit perfectly, seemed sized correct and did not dig into my leg.

The boot did not fit nicely, everytime i would walk, my foot would slip up instead of sitting securely in the base. Very annoying.

I just tried to wear these boots and the zipper will not pull up at all
