I just love them! They are very comfortable, keep my feet warm great to walk in for hours. The only thing I found is that I did have to go a size smaller than I usually wear. I normally wear a size 6 and I had to get a 5.

I was so nervous ordering these boots because I wear size 11. Between the comments and my husband who is a Sorel FAN, and just purchased snow boots from them recently convinced me to get a size 10...they fit perfect. They obviously need to be broken in, but that's awesome cause I can tell they will hug my foot perfectly. :)

I ordered a 1/2 to full size smaller than I normally wear and they fit great. They keep my feet really warm and dry. Overall, it's a great boot and they look exactly as pictured.

this boot was exactly what I wanted and expected. it's roomy enough for a heavy sock which is what I want in a boot like this.

I actually ordered these for my mom to give me, for Christmas. I was looking all over and couldn't find them in my size 7 1/2 - 8. Then I read a review that said they run about a 1/2 size too big, so I ordered them in a 7. They fit, but I wonder if I would have been better with an 8. The couple of times I've worn them so far, they hurt the back of my foot just above my heel. I am hoping it is just because they are brand new and over time and wear, will soften and stretch out! Warm and toasty, and nice and comfy otherwise - LOVE them!

I read the comments on line that this boot runs large, so I got a half size smaller than I typically wear (6), but needed to exchange to a 7. I like the boots, but they aren't as warm as I thought they'd be (there isn't much insulation on the sole) and the fur top is a bit thick. Also, Endless was very easy to work with on the exchange, I'd buy from this site again.
Exactly what I needed! warm & super cozy...like clouds for your feet!

This boot is great! I got an 8 as I'm usually a 8.5/9. It's a perfect fit, my feet would swim in a 9. Socks are optional as they are that warm! My tights(that I wear as underlayers)have been just enough. I wanted the sierra tan originally, yet I'm happy with the hawk...the stares in brown are too much!

Adorable color and style. But the portion above your foot has way too much boot!

i'm one of those people who absolutely hate UGGs and have suffered 4 cold winters in NYC b/c i refuse to buy those hideous creatures. lucky for me, i saw a sorrell ad in my latest issue of elle and immediately googled the joan of artic boot. i now fall into the camp that LOVES this boot. yes- it runs a half size big (bought a 7, i usually wear 7.5). yes- it's a little clunky and i feel like i'm channeling the ewoks when i wear them. yes- my feet stayed 100% dry while trekking through the snow in upstate NY. yes- my feet stayed warm even though i was only wearing tights and not socks. i have muscular calves and they fit perfectly whether i'm tucking in skinny jeans, leggings or only wearing tights w/ a dress.
you may not agree w/ the many ways i like to wear these boots but you will enjoy them regardless. i definitely feel like i got my money's worth, quality is excellent and sure beats wearing baggy, saggy, sloppy UGGS.

they are cute and warm....but, for New York City walking, don't work at all!
too uncomfortable, at the point that they are really painful, in the back of the leg, down, like in the ankle area, but in the back, Achilles tendon.
painful!

The boot is made for Wisconsin winters with a bit of frill for the chill. The boot fit well with thick socks except for around the ankle. It is quite wide there. maybe for tucking in large snow pants. Not well suited to wear with jeans, although I do. They are very warm which is great for the sub zero temperatures we experience here. So, a bit of give with the take. Fashion mixed with function. Over all I am pleased.

I saw that people said they run large so I ordered a half size too small and it was perfect.

I originally ordered these in 10 b/c I'm regularaly a 9.5 they way too wide ended up ordering a 9 and they fit great not too tight on the toe and felt more snug in the width. Also they look great and don't leak like ugg's.

I have always loved Sorels, but many of them, including this style, lack a decent arch support. Also, the moment I put my foot in this boot, I felt like the top portion of the boot over the front half of my foot was squashing down on my foot - strange feeling. There wasn't as much flexibilty as I would have liked, and it felt a bit more clumsy than the Hi-Tec style I had tried on prior to trying the Joan Of the Arctic boot. The width was also too narrow for my foot. Looks cute though!

I am not thrilled with this boot, it looks clumsy on. It runs bigger than my size. I don't know if I will keep it.

Listen to me. I don't know what anyone who ordered this book considers 'too big' order a smaller size. I did this and the 11 M did not fit at all. If you have a high instep and wide calf, order your regular size. I guarentee you, you won't regret it. It's obvious to me that the folks who thought this boot was too big, did not have a high instep or a wide calf.

The colors and warmth cover it all. It's also the most comfortable winter boot I own. Not to mention that I can shove my boot cut jeans into them and don't need a straight leg pair of jeans to make it happen. The rubber part in the front make it perfect for rain, snow, mud, etc.

Gift for my girlfriend. The first order was one size too large. It was easy to return and get one size smaller.

I had read other reviews before I bought the boots and I had tried it on in Nordstrom, so it's true the boot does run big...1/2-to a whole size. I normally wear a 7 and I bought the size 6. There isn't room for thick socks, but they keep your feet really warm regardless. I haven't tried them in the snow yet...but they are a well-made boot.

Love this boot. Can't wait for the snow. Will use them to walk my dog. They are easy to slip on and super warm.

these boots are awesome. i am a size 5 and it is hard to find shoes and especially hard to find boots because of my skinny legs. these are great because, although they're bulky, they're super warm and waterproof and i can lace them as tight as i need to. i walked through an icy stream in the dead of winter in the mountains of pennsylvania with no trouble and no leaks! i wouldn't wear these out and about but they are the perfect 'cute' snow boot for when i know i'm headed somewhere icy or slushy. they are a little roomy but its the perfect amount of space for an UGG insole of the same size shoe. so now i have a soft furry footbed in these cute furry boots. i hope to have these forever!

I got these for a trip to the mountains and they were ridiculously slippery on ice and snow. Not only do they run big like people said but they are very wide also. They are comfortable with thick socks. Despite everything I still think they are kinda cute even though everyone makes fun of me when I wear them.

Definitely get these boots one size smaller than your shoe size. I usually wear a 9 but had to get an 8. They are a little stiff when you first get them, but they break in easily.

I was so excited to get these boots until the second I tried them on...way too uncomfortable to walk in. Almost feels like you have skis on your feet. I am returning them immediately for a more comfortable winter boot.

I wear a woman's 12-13 usually, but I needed an 11. I couldn't even lace the 12 tight enough when I stuffed my jeans inside. I felt like Sasquatch wearing the 12 (of course, I usually feel like Sasquatch with a size 12, so that's not saying much).
perfect boot, slightly large

Love these boots, warms AND stylish (looks cute with skinny jeans tucked in)! Unfortunately they are a bit too large. I wear a size 7 and they were way too big. So i returned for a size 6, which i ended up keeping, but they are a little bit more snug then i would have liked. Too bad they don't come in half sizes! haven't worn them out yet but very excited to once the weather gets colder

Love the boots, but they're huge! I don't think they run true to size at all! I normally wear a 7 and needed a 6. Other than that they are lovely.

Boot seemed to have really good quality material and pretty comfortable inside...not too heavy either! You could wear a thick sick with these boots.
