Customer Reviews SOREL Explorer™ II Joan

The boots fit well at one size larger than I'd typically wear. I wish they were easier to slip in and out of as we have winter here for at least six months of the year and so there is a LOT of on and offs with the boots. The tongue doesn't want to lay flat without attention every time I put them on and then the shoelaces don't stay tied. I haven't yet been able to test how " waterproof" they are. Since the snow gets really deep here I'm hoping the entire upper is waterproof too. Nothing was said about doing additional waterproofing for the boot so time will tell. I currently have regrets buying this boot.

Feet were too wide and size was too small. And haven't heard back from return. Was so excited about these boots too!

Great looking boot and comfortable. The only problem is that there is no grip!! You would think a company known for winter boots would do a better job as they slip and side in any amount of snow or ice.

These are so cute and i was really excited for them. I always buy sorels and after wearing these a few times I have to say they don't quite meet the mark. I love the boot/shoe mashup design, the lining that keeps toes warm, but they just don't offer good support and aren't as sturdy as other shoes from this brand. I'll still use them but they're not my favorite.

Nice shoes. Cute and cozy. Warm for the winter. Order up a size or else your feet will hurt.

Bought these boots for our snow trip and after having them a week one of the lace loops detached from the boot. Really upset as I trusted that Sorel would have superior craftsmanship. I can't bring these on our trip now. Unfortunate because they are so cute. Listen to other reviews and size up 1/2 for most comfort.

Although my feet have stayed quite warm and dry snowshoeing and doing errands around town, I've had to size up a full size from my usual 7.5 to the 8.5 due to this particular Sorel running small. I got a couple hot spots in my heels snowshoeing because there's a lot of wiggle room since the boot is bigger, yet somehow not roomier in the toe box. My toes feel a bit squished, so I can't wear a thicker sock if I go out in the snow, like snowshoeing. I'm keeping the boots because they're not so uncomfortable that I won't wear them, but bummed because for this size boot and it's cost, I wish i loved them and could give 5 stars. Also the laces won't stay laced no matter the tricks i use to tie them!!

Runs very small. I'm normally an 8.5W or a 9... But my 9.5 in this shoe barely fits. Hoping it gets better after breaking in. Quality is good and they are very warm

Runs VERY small. I had to return them. Wish I didn't have to because they're very cute.

These are everything they say when talking comfort but the traction is subpar. I love the way they feel when walking but chasing my kids out in the snow there is no grip. I bought these thinking they would be more functional when with my kids but that wasn't the case. I'd recommend them for comfort but not function.

Love the look, but boot seemed to run more narrow than other Sorel boots I've bought. I returned them.

For the price of this shoe, they could at least use laces that stay tied. They come untied even when I'm just driving in my car, not even walking. So I replaced the laces. They have a cozy liner, but the sole isn't the most comfortable. It feels a bit thin, like I can feel the ground. I replaced the insole as well. So for the price, you'd hope the shoe is good to go- but I found it needs some editing to make it work for everyday wear. For size I measured my foot and was exactly in the border of sizes. After trying out both, I went with the bigger size since my toe just barely touched the end in the smaller size. So they are pretty roomy since I sized up, but a thick pair of socks works just fine. I do love that they are waterproof!
