Great boots for snow
I took those boots on a trip to Iceland and they worked great for walking in the snow and glacial hiking! My feet was dry and warm the whole time.
This boot runs large and wide. I am normally a size 8.5 and the 9 was too big. I didn't have time to exchange for an 8 so I put an extra pair of insole in and it worked.

Great boot but...
they run really big. I could've used a size 5 instead of the 6, but I got them on pro deal so no exchanges :(

sorel: women's joan of ark boots
I bought these and they are so awesome. I bought a pair for my daughter also. They are very warm but don't make my feet sweat- as I wear them all day inside as well as outside. Super cute looking whether worn w/ a skirt or outside pants. They have enough room inside for me to wear my arch support. Also- I needed a boot that would not be too heavy as to irritate my lower back. I wish I could wear them in summer but I guess that may look weird. They are also waterproof which is a must in the slushy winter months of KY.

Awesome VERY cute boot!
Fits perfectly; I wear a size 7/7.5 normally and looked EXTENSIVELY at reviews before buying. I was tempted to get an 8 but settled on a 7.. trusting Sorel to make me happy.. and glad I did! They fit great, I wear them to work, wear them out, wherever. The beautiful combo of chocolate and gray means they match with just about everything. The removable fur lining is great but I doubt I'll ever do so.. and personally, I like the stiff feeling of the boot- that means I can go hiking with these and not have to worry about twisting my ankle ;)
I think most women should try the Joan of Arctics, I was tempted to get the Tofinos but settled on these. Happy I did!

cute, comfy and warm!
I wore these boots ALL weekend at a music festival in Colorado where we stood in snow and ice all weekend and these did a great job keeping my feet safe, warm, and completely dry! A little bulkier than I was expecting, but that is probably because I have big feet. Overall great purchase, I would definitely recommend these!

Love these boots!!
My boyfriend and his brother bought these for me for Christmas this year and I absolutely LOVE them. I typically wear an 8/8.5, and with these the size 8s are just perfect to wear a pair of thick socks with. They're super cute and really functional.. I grew up wearing Sorel boots, and these are cute enough that I want to wear them all the time, not just when its snowing! :)

Joan of Arctic Boot
I love this boot because it is cute and still highly functional. I live in a ski town and a good winter boot is essential. This fits the bill. I can tromp around in the snow and the boot doesn't even look wet and my feet are always warm and cozy. They were quite small at first, but have packed out nicely.

Warm and Stylish
I use my boots for dog sledding and other winter outdoor activities. They are warm, comfortable, and oh so stylish. The only down side is that they are so snug around the ankle (which is a good thing) that it takes a bit of effort to get them on. There is no slipping them on and off to do a quick errand. You have to put them on with the intent of wearing them for a while.
February 16, 2012
Awesome
A little big (I fluctuate between an 8.5 & 9 so I ordered a 9) but they do the job and look great either outdoors or out for the night. Great purchase!

Best Cold Weather Boots Purchased Thus Far!
Awesome winter boots! I didn't think that I would like the fur, but it adds a nice trendy look (looks great w/ skinny jeans). This boot runs a little big, too. I'm a size 8.5, so I originally tried the 9, which was too big; the 8 was a better fit. I'm very satisfied with my purchase.

Wonderful, warm heavy duty winter boot
Great heavy duty winter boot.

Perfect
Great boots for vacation in Park City, UT. Easy on and off to ski and even looks cute walking around town while being practical.

HockeyMom
I ordered these boots for outside work, but since we haven't had a lot of snow this season they have become my hockey boots. They keep my feet nice and warm at all my son's games and they are CUTE, too!
February 7, 2012
Beautiful and practical
I was looking for very warm boots (I live in northern Michigan) that I could walk/hike in. These fit those criteria, and they are very pretty boots, as well - I bought the shale color, and love it. They are slightly large, but that will allow for thick wool socks when I need them. I would recommend these boots.
I originally bought the Joan of Arctic Reserve boot - it was so nice that I didn't think I would hike in them - so I returned them.
My only real complaint is that Sorel made the tongue of the boot a couple of inches shorter than the boot itself - we have deep snow her most winters, to that may be a problem.
Overall, I'm pleased with this purchase.

Joan of Arctic: Style and Warmth
I bought these boots just two weeks ago. My husband saw them first and thought I needed them. I agreed! I was a bit worried about the size, because they only come in whole sizes and I'm definitely a 9.5. I ordered the 9s based on other buyers' recommendations and they fit! Glad I didn't order high. I wore these last weekend at an outdoor evening party in the mountains and my feet were toasty warm and comfortable. Plus, my husband and I both thought I looked great! :0)

AWESOME
Awesome boots! Kept my feet warm and dry in the Chicago snow! Love them!!

Love It!
I saw these boots in an article I read and I was amazed by the very fashionable and practicality of the item. I decided then and their to purchase the boots immediately. They came in the mail in a matter of days and I've been wearing them since. They're perfect for this unpredictable New York City weather and they so comfortable and warm. Highly recommended!!2 thumbs up!!!
January 29, 2012
great boots
I did have to reorder because the boots ran really large. Once the correct size arrived the fit was great and I'm ready for some snowy weather. Comfortable, higher than most similar styles that I've seen so great for heavier snow, stylish and perfect for what I need.

Can't wait for Snowmageddon
Love these boots and looking forward to the first snowball fight of 2012!

Joan of Arctic boots
I actually purchased these for my sister. They arrived sooner than expected, were nicer looking than the picture, perfect size and warm and comfortable. As she lives in Colorado, they are great snow boots! Great quality!
January 28, 2012
Stylish and practical
For the harsh Chicago winter I Love my Sorels and would recommend them to anyone! They keep my feet warm and toast and in the nasty slush they keep my feet dry.
They look amazing for a snow boot and I feel I can tread through anything and they look great with my leggings and jeans tucked in. They complete my snowy cabin look I really like.
Thank you Sorel!!!!

Joan Of Arctic Boots
So far I love love love these boots, I wear an 8 1/2 and got a 9, so they're a little big but I don't even care. My mother has also had the same pair of Sorel boots for 20 years, and they are still doing fine. I expect mine will also last so long.

Great and Terrific
Bought these boots for my daughter who is in her late teens and has to walk to take public transit and wait for buses with connections here in a Montreal, Quebec Canada winter to get to school/college. Style is the number one priority for her. But what a high terrific performing boot in our weather!
It has been a mixed bag of freezing rain, raining at freezing point or below freezing, and whole streets and sidewalks are covered in slippery glistening ice, and then it rains freezing slushy big snow flakes, or a combo of small hail with snowflakes, or we have just the regular 50 - 100 km winds and a regular driving snow storm.. all in January 2012 all around freezing or below..and then after all this comes the super sunny days with super sub zero cold arctic temperatures of a high of -18C during the day or below at night. These Joan of Arctic boots are waterproof to go through slush and pools of freezing rain, they have traction to not slip out from underneath you on ice because they are wide and keep your feet flat and upright and apart for better balance, and they also keep your feet roasty toasty through high drifts of driving snow that accumulates during storms and is plowed up into banks of snow, ...and these boots are great for super sub zero weather days that occur here in January and February because they keep the heat at your toes due to the design of the boot...they are wide at the toes to keep the warm air circulating.
Hooray and thanks Sorel for a great design that keeps the feet happy and the body safely upright within the harshest mixed weather one can have here..all in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. I know my daughter is safe, steady, with a reduced risk of wipeouts.. and not have her feet slip up on the icy surfaces, and not have her head and back bang back into concrete and ice, getting concussions on the sidewalk and roads, and also, on the deep freezing temperature days, to not have any frozen toes.
Thanks Sorel again.. I'm getting a pair for myself to walk the dogs.. P.S. Since the boot is wide, my 5 ft 10 in daughter usually takes a size 10 shoe but fits comfortably into a size 9 boot without any slippage in the back heel of the boot.

Great Winter Boots!
These boots are very warm and comfortable. Not to mention they look great as well. Almost true to size but just a little big.
January 24, 2012
love this boot - great if you've got big calves
These boots kept my feet completely warm and dry during a recent visit to a ski mountain where the temperatures were in the 10s. I've got big calves and sometimes have trouble finding boots that will zip, so I was thrilled to find that these are very easy to slip on. Plus, they look great! Trendy and traditional at the same time.
January 24, 2012
Awesome boots
I love these boots because they are easy to get on and off. They are warm, stylish and versatile.
January 23, 2012
This product is warm
Though I really liked the upper portion of this boot I found the bottom portion to be un-lady like for work. I was really hoping to find a quality (which these are) boot that I could wear to work and wear outside in the snow and cold.

Joan of Arctic ROCKS!
I love these boots! Living in Maine, I need a super warm and comfortable boot and the Joan of Arctic definitely fits the bill. They work best with a regular sock for a snug fit, not too thick--that way, the warm air in the boot liner can circulate and keep the entire foot warm. If you are a 6.5 or any half size, get the 6 as you want the boot snug with a reg. sock, not all gappy and loose.
Also, while it may feel a little tight at first, the boot has a wonderful overall break-in over a few weeks' wear and it all settles to a perfect fit. Hooray! My feet are finally warm after searching all these years for the perfect winter boot! (The fact that the liners can be removed and dried by the wood stove and then easily put in the boot makes it such an added plus to heating them up before going out in below zero weather!).
January 23, 2012
wow
these boot are sooo amazing! they keep my feet so warm and are very stylish!! very cute!!
January 22, 2012
LOVE!!
Wanted something to keep my feet warm and dry and look fashionable as well! These are perfect!! I am extremely happy with my boots and get tons of compliments all the time! (even from guys ;)) I usually wear 8 1/2 but these didn't come in half sizes so I ordered the 8 and they fit great!
January 22, 2012
Joan of Arctic boots
The Joan of Arctics are too large. I wear a size 7.5, ordered a size 7, and they are still too big.
January 21, 2012
extreamly dissapointed
this boot has a 25 below tempeture rating...huh it was 20 degrees out today and I wore them from the house to the car, from the car into work than back again. My feet were freezing as if I had on a sneaker. Not only were they not warm but they also rubbed the back of my ankel raw. A boot that cost $140 should not cause this kind of pain with such little wear and at the very least keep your feet warm in a car!!!!!!!!!!!!
January 20, 2012
Cozy and Cute
These boots are stylish and functional. I live in Chicago and they keep my feet warm even on the coldest days. The fur is fun, but I already have a lot of faux fur happening with my winter gear. It would be great if there were an insert with faux sheep wool that would work with this shoe - like the original sorels.
All in all, a great boot that I expect to last a long, long time.

Boots
I have ordered boots from here twice now and both times I have had great service! All my products have been great! The boots are cute & warm! No problems here! I would definitely order again!
January 17, 2012
A beautiful boot and a great buy!!
After reading all the reviews I feel the need to stress that this is a durable, comfortable and cute boot! I usually run between a 5 1/2 and a 6 and decided to go with the 5 which worked out perfect. The 6's were way too big. It may be a bit clunky or whatever but that's because it's a rugged boot! And honestly with the 5 I feel like they're well fitted. Super solid boot, I would highly recommend!
January 17, 2012
Product is exactly what I saw online
Many times buying online is misleading which is why I hardly buy ANYTHING online, but this product is EXACTLY what I saw and what I read about. Great sturdy shoe for harsh winters and very fashionable.
January 17, 2012
wide boots
my boots were too small. So I was not pleased about that. Other then that I thought they were beautiful. What I do not get is that the boots are extremely wide at the front. So you need duck feet to fill them up.
I returned them because they were too small.
January 15, 2012
REMARKABLE PRODUCT
this product recommends its self, if you want a cozy, fashion forward boots these are it.
January 15, 2012
Love these boots!
These Joan of Arctic boots are adorable and so comfortable. They fit perfectly. I slip into them easily and they keep my feet so warm as I trudge thru the snow. I highly recommend them.
January 14, 2012
boots okay, return shipping - watch out!
Boots fit okay and looked okay but they are BIG! I mean they are heavy and just a big pair of boots. Very wide and I have wide feet. Kind of hard to walk in because the back part is stiff and shaped strangely. Because of that, I returned them. I actually had three pairs - 2 for daughters and 1 for me. I returned them all for the same reason and it cost $40 to ship them back - it was 18 pounds for three pairs of boots. Never again will I order from this website, but might try other Sorel products!

Adorable boot, but not functional
After seeing this product being advertised as a rugged outdoor boot, I purchased them with the intention of using them as such. I was disappointed to discover that I could not. The boots are stiff and clunky, making you waddle as you walk, which would almost be ok if the clunky design served a purpose - such as keeping you warm. Even with two pairs of socks on (one being thick wooly socks) within 15 minutes of walking through snow, my toes start to go numb from being too cold. Unacceptable for the price. On extended hikes, the stiff back cuts into your lower leg, above the achiles and no matter whether you tighten them up or loosen them, they still cut into you.
On the bright side, these are very attractive boots, I recieved many compliments when I did wear them. The overall craftmanship is outstanding, and they seem very durable, despite the thin, tractionless sole. If you want to LOOK like you spend time outside, go ahead and purchase these to clunk around the mall in. If you DO spend time outside, I would not recommend these.

Just What I Was Looking For
My husband has had his Sorels for over 15 years, and when my snow boots gave out at the end of last winter I knew I wanted a pair of long-lasting Sorels of my own.
So excited to find the Joan of Arctic - they're functional and attractive, and very warm for New England winters. Need some breaking in, and fit just a little large, but I need inserts due to flat feet so that's perfect.
Looking forward to a long life from these. Just hoping that Sorel puts out a liner replacement for the Joan of Arctic - didn't see one on the website.
January 12, 2012
Love these boots!
Love my new Joan of Arctic boot! I live in a cold cllimate-- so they will be perfect! On the fit, I wear a true 7 and the 7 fit, but I can't wear a super thick sock-- also first time wear they are a bit stiff, but get much better!!

In Love But Looking for Snow
My wonderful hubby bought me these beautiful boots for Christmas. They are so warm and comfy - perfect for the long Wisconsin winters. I wear a 7 1/2 shoe size and did need to go with the size 7 boot which still has nice room so I think they run a little on the large side. Sadly, it has been a really warm WI winter with virtually no snow and 50 degrees in the middle of January! But today, we are anxiously awaiting a big snow storm and I will be out there testing my lovely boots later tonight. They already feel great so I know they are going to feel even better walking in the snow. Definitely recommend - a great purchase.
January 12, 2012
Awesome Boots!
These boots are exactly what I was looking for! They fit true to size and are very warm. They have plenty of traction, which makes them perfect boots for a New England winter. Plus, they're stylish, so I don't get sick of them and they go with everything.
January 10, 2012
perfect for harsh weather
very comfortable, and durable. can't wait til we get some snow to use it!
January 9, 2012
Love, Love, Love!
After my daughter and husband got their Sorels and raved about them, it was my turn to get some boots. They were right. They are comfortable, warm and exactly what I needed. I was looking for a durable boot that I could wear in the snow, wear to the ski slopes before changing into ski boots, could wear on cold days when I am out and about. These boots fit that perfectly. Because these boots don't have half sizes, I went up a size. My daughter had told me that these boots run large. Because I planned to put an insert into them and that I wear a heavy sock with them, I went up a size. If I hadn't planned to do this, I would have gone down a half size. Love the quality of this boot and know they will last me thru many cold winters.
January 9, 2012
love love love
So in love with these boots. I normally order 7.5 boots and ordered a 7. Fit perfectly. Shipping was super fast and I was so impressed.
January 8, 2012
Comfy and warm
I use these boots when we have snow and ice so that I can go out and walk my dogs without slipping and falling. The boots are very warm and the soles help keep me from sliding on the icy sidewalks and streets.
