Sorel Womens Joan of Arctic Waterproof Boots

Súper cómodas, bellas, buenos acabados, abrigan un montón! Las recomiendo!

I spied these boots, but couldn’t pull the trigger because they are so expensive and I live in Tennessee and was having a hard time justifying the purchase. My husband was placing an order on my account and ordered them for me for Valentines. I was worried about the mixed reviews about fit and size. I ordered my regular size 7.5. They are perfect! The ankle/heel area is a bit roomy, but these are not dress boots! I’m sure that’s designed for thicker socks. So, Ladies, if you’re expecting functional and stylish…this is it. If you want a dress boot that fits close to your ankles, better look elsewhere. This was a good price, so that helped. Only CON - took 10 days to arrive! They shipped from Poland, traveled to Germany, the UK, Atlanta, then Nashville. They were worth the wait!

I rarely order online because of fit. I gave the product "fit as expected" at the ordered one-size-up size which is a size 10 from size 9. Let me explain: I'm 5'6" at 163lbs. My feet are a tiny bit on the wide side with a low arch. I ordered both a 9.5 and a 10 at the same time. My normal size is 9. Knowing that I would want to where a wicking sock + a wool sock OR 1 super thick pair of thermal socks I thought the 9.5 (half-size up) would work. After wearing around the house, I noticed the 9.5 was making my feet slightly tingle/numb, particularily around the area where the rubber meets the leather on top of the foot and an area that I knew might not "stretch" over time. Plus, because of the thickness of the sock, my toe felt closer to the boot toe end. The 10 had a comfortable bit of room even after the 2 socks or 1 thick sock was added and did not make my feet tingle/numb. Even though they may look just a tad bigger then I am used to, I decided comfort was best in this case. They are on the heavy side for a snow boot (expected for rubber, leather, and felt) , but I am hippy with toned calves so I considered the extra weight a bit of exercise as I walk! The Honest Beige color is a beautiful soft yet warm camel color (fawn-like), not a dark camel. The inner felt is SO warm and cozy, even with a thin pair of socks. The laces are a breeze to tighten and loosen as they slide on the metal grommets though I don't suspect they are waterproof laces. The fur was a little flat when they arrived but just needed fluffed. The rubber is a very, very dark navy I think, almost so that it looks black. The tread will be nice for snowy walking but I did slide a bit on the ice on my driveway since the lug is rubber and not very deep like a hiking boot might be.

PROS: Boots are beautiful and very well built. They are tall which is a great plus in areas with high snow. The leather will also protect your legs (and pants) if you're e.g. hiking through spiny hard bushes.CONS: It is true what the reviews say about the leather bending and digging in the Achilles ankle. It is not painful in my case, just annoying, so I'm hoping the leather will get softer and better overtime. Other people reported this problem as very painful for them. Also, there is no fur attached to the tongue, just to the insert which splits in the front. So unless you have skinny calves to make both sides of the insert meet in the middle, the fur won't go completely all around your leg.NEUTRAL: Haven't had a chance to try it in below freezing weather to test how well they stand outside in the frigid cold.**Will have to update this review later with more updates on my heels health, and how well they pass the extreme weather test.

These boots are very warm even our -20 degree winter!! They are comfortable, love that the lining stays put! They a bit heavy but not enough to not love them! They’ve held up all winter, lots of shoveling and outside activities! Sorel is definitely a great brand!

I have to first say that I have looked at these boots for two years! Yes, that's right two years.(All the while I have been wearing a crappy pair of boots I picked up from tractor supply).I'm so picky about what I want. I was also torn between the color and size. Finally my husband said either you order them or I will. LOL. We had a snow storm coming in New York and I wanted them for the storm. I ordered the exact size I would wear in running shoes, a size 10. When I got them and first tried them on I did have a tough time getting them on over my arch. (I have high arches). At first they felt snug. I wanted them to be comfortable and warm enough with normal everyday socks on. I wore them around the house for a little bit and they loosened up perfectly. Unfortunately the first time I went to wear them outside (which was around 7:30am the next day) the one eyelet fell off. I was really disappointed. I went right to Amazon and started a return. Then I went right out and took my boots to a UPS drop off. Well, I kid you not by 9:00pm the very next night I got my brand new boots delivered to my door!!! I had the same issue with them being a little snug at first but when they wear in a little bit and mold to your feet they are absolutely wonderful!!! I am so in love with these boots. They are so cute and comfortable!! Also, someone made a comment that it's annoying because the liner comes out every time you take your boots off. I don't know how that can happen because they have a snap that holds them in. Amazon is amazing for their fast returns. I don't know how they do it! One other thing I read at the Sorel website (I was going to buy them from there) was that they didn't have great customer service. With Amazon you don't have to worry about that! You can rest assured that if something isn't right they will make it right!! Get the boots, don't wait two years like I did. I bet I won't need another pair of winter boots for the rest of my life!!

I LOVE these boots. My feet stay warm all day in the snow. i wear a 7.5 but bought a size 8. There is a little extra room for thick wool socks. I love that they are slip resistance on ice and very comfortable. I also love the look of these boots and my husband loves they way look on me to. I bought the ones that look like a white or fawn leather. LOVE LOVE LOVE.Only thing I would change is add an arch suport for releaving low back pain when on my feet all day.

Feels Very hard when wearing it

It’s too big for me so i return. But the boots looks good. Only I order the size not fit for me.

Sizing is small. Order at least 1 size higher

Great looking and very warm and comfortable. Fit a little snug but not bad. I would have ordered a half size up if it had been available. Highly recommend.

I ordered my regular size and these boots fit perfectly. They look great and will no doubt last a long time. The quality is very good.
