Customer Reviews SOREL Joan Of Arctic™ Next Boot WP

A bit heavy in weight for arthritic limbs. Returning.

I bought two different pairs of Sorel's to see which one would work better for me. These are going back. They felt very heavy and clunky - I thought the look was pretty cool but walking in them felt like heavy moon boots. I do think they would be excellent waterproof boots but the weight wasn't something I was interested in dealing with and I felt a bit disconnected from the ground with the major platform bottoms. Wanted to like but ultimately the Tivoli™ IV won the day and I would highly recommend those for a lighter weight option.

These were cute but the height of the sole was slightly uncomfortable for me.

These are super cute. They are super warm. Perfect height. I loved the lift. I normally wear 8 and ordered 8.5 in these. Only tested these in the house. After about 15 minutes the tops of my feet started hurting and turned into pins and needles. Unfortunately, I’m returning these. Second pair of Sorels that hurt badly across the top of the foot. I’m trying Joan of Arctic Next Lite Strap Puffy.

Unfortunately those shoes are not that comfortable and not very warm at the feet area.

I base my overall review on the items I received defective rather than the item itself. I liked that these seemed like a comfy and stylish boot; just what I wanted after trying on SEVERAL(15+) boots that didn't work because of my recovering from a foot injury. I requested an exchange as the pair I ordered already had many marks as if someone returned them. Zappos was great and ordered a fresh pair for me the same day I called. The next pair was a bit better but not flawless. Both had imperfections such as paint off of hardware and little spots like the boot had been picked/scuffed. I expect a perfectly new condition for a $200(tax included) boot. I am not sure if these are defective items, if I received others' returns twice, or if it was just a lack of care in handling the merchandise. I ended up deciding to order the boot from Sorel and pay more, but to my surprise, they just went on sale, so I got them for $50 less instead of the $50 more I was expecting to pay. I hope the pair from Sorel is better; if not, I will revisit my review and lower it to include shoddy workmanship on such an expensive boot.

I really wanted to love these boots. They are cute and different from my other sorels, but they seem small (for reference I have several pairs of the tofino and various wedges all in 7.5) and they were very uncomfortable (almost painful) across the top of my narrower feet where the seams are. The seams almost had points at the ends that dug in. One boot was worse than the other, so maybe it is just a freak flaw, but it was so uncomfortable I’m not willing to even try again.

BEWARE OF STRETCHING! I ordered these half size up, which is my usual for Sorels. They felt fine - not too big -- but after a month of pretty light wear (it's been a mild winter in Chicago), they have stretched out a ton. They're comfortable for running errands but not for walking my dog. So now I'm ordering a second pair -- NOT CUTE for $250!

I ordered half size up. Length was fine. Had enough room in toes. But way too tight across the top of the foot. Even if I had gone a whole size up, across the foot would have been too tight. There is also a seam across the top that rubs. Trying Joan of Arctic Next Puffy.

The boots look chic but uncomfortable. There is not much support and they are not warm in cold weather. For this price I expected much more overall comfort.

Cute design but was surprised by the vinyl/rubber material which made them look cheap. The dealbreaker was how much “noise” and squeaky sounds them made when walking. Sadly they’re going back.
