Customer Reviews SOREL Explorer™ II Joan

Oddly, the sole of the shoe had a lavender purple undertone to it, which was unexpected (I couldn't tell that from the photos). I didn't like it so I returned.

I loved the look of these! Unfortunately I was over-cautious and ordered a full size up, but only needed a half.

The boots look awesome but I didn't like how tight the toes are. They are not designed for human feet.

This shoe is super comfortable, with the bounce of a sneaker and the waterproof feature of a boot. You definitely need to go a full size up from your normal boot size. I am normally an 8.5 in boots and sneakers and had to go up to a 9.5. I find the 9.5 a little loose in the heel but the 9 was too tight in the heel and the leather on the back of the heel seems a bit rigid to risk the smaller size.

Typical sorel - half size small. Good width, room in toe box. Room for socks. Good construction & style. Keepers

I really liked this shoe! Unfortunately— it does indeed run a size too small. I would recommend a whole size larger. Will be reordering.

Had to return both 8.5 and 9. My normal size is about an 8. The 8.5 was too small and the 9 was too big. The length and entire boot was too big in the 9. I highly doubt these would have been that warm. Very cute though and they would have been worth it for about $90 if they fit.

These are really great warm, comfortable boots. That said, I was expecting them to look a tiny bit more sleek than they do, lol. Around the arch of my foot, there appears to be too much material so that they bow out at the sides just a bit. Tightening the laces fixes this, but then they are so tight my feet get cold. So while they are truly wonderful for staying warm in winter, they are not the most fashionable. Not bad, but not fabulous. They also do not have a lot of tread for slippery conditions.

Love the style! Very light, feels like a sneaker. But they are narrow, and I have never ever needed anything but normal boots/shoes.

I ordered a 6.5 and a 7 after reading all of the reviews. I kept the 6.5. I am normally a size 6. I have been wanting these. So glad they were on sale. They are so cute. I haven’t wore them out yet. They seemed comfortable.

After reading the reviews to order a half a size or a whole size larger, I decided to order a half size larger. I wish I would have ordered a whole size larger. I am almost always a 7.5 and when there are only whole sizes I can sometimes size down to a 7, so I ordered an 8 which is still too small. I am going to have to return them; otherwise the quality, style, and comfort seem to good.

These are so well made and a lovely boot, really. I usually take an 8, sometimes an 8.5, but even the 8.5 was too tight in the toebox... strange as Sorels are usually so big in the toebox! A bummer, so back they go.

Super cute and pretty comfortable. I’m not sure if it’s just me, but every time I buy Sorel I have to order up a size. These boots are also narrow at the start of my toes.

Super cute boots. I ordered a half size larger as I know Sorel boots to run small. This worked for me.
