I bought these last summer and wanted to wait to review until I had actually tried them out. I have now had a good test and my beautiful Joan of Arctic boots did great. They handled snow and slush, keeping my feet snug and dry. On ice they were pretty good -- I did slip a little, but did not fall. For really bad ice, though, I will probably strap on ice cleats. I usually wear a 10, and so ordered a 10. They are generous enough to accommodate thick socks, and wide enough to not bother my bunions. The support is not too bad, but the soles could use a bit more cush. I will likely add gel arch supports for a bit more support when walking on bare pavement. I found the top opening adequate for my large calves, and the laces hold well when tied. All in all, I love my boots!

Great boots. Bought them last winter and they look brand new. My feet never got cold or wet. I have thick calves and they worked great. They took about four days of mild discomfort to "break in" and after that they felt great. I wear with legwarmers to help "tuck" pants into the boot. Very sturdy for real snow wear. (Not glorified slippers like some brands. *coughUggscough*)

The boots are all well and good for someone foot that's a B-Medium. What about Boots for women that wear a size 12 and 13 wide. We would like stylish boots make for us too.

Very cute winter boots. I found that they don't run small like most Sorels. I usually wear a 9 1/2 in most
shoes and found that I needed a 10 because my toes touched in the 9's. With a 10 they still fit, but they have a little room for a winter sock.

I love these boots! I listened to other reviews that said they run large. I usually wear an 8 1/2 or 9, so I ordered an 8 and they fit perfectly. I'm sure the extra room is probably to allow for extra heavy winter socks, so if you really plan to wear in very low temperatures, maybe you would want to order your normal size. I have worn them twice, and already gotten at least three compliments on them. I ordered in Shale, which I thought of as gray, and people seem to call them brown, when they comment on the. Overall, they're a great boot, and I'm very happy with my purchase!

I know a lot of people said that the boot runs large, but I will never know this because I can't even get my foot past the ankle part of the boot! Perhaps you have to roll around on the floor to get your foot in. I wear a size 12. So ladies with a larger foot and calf beware.

I love these boots! They are so stinkin' cute! I have only ever used
Uggs for winter boots in the past, but was so sick of them getting soaked through in the snow, and they have very little traction. I was so excited to find these and even more excited to have received them (less than 48 hours after ordering with free shipping) and they are perfect! So comfortable, so adorable, and true to size! I can't wait for it to snow.

Loved the boot. Runs much smaller than the normal
Sorel boot. I usually wear a 10 in
Sorel, and I took a 12 in this boot! But I love it! :) Adorable. Not a lot of arch support however if you need it. :(

I love the style of these boots! And, I love how warm they
keep my feet, which makes this Cincinnati girl so happy! I have not had to test them in a heavy snow yet, but I smile whenever inclement weather strikes - any reason to wear them is great by me!

I wear size 7½ or 8. I ordered 8 and they fit wonderfully. I do have slightly wide feet so I was thrilled that these are not too tight fitting. There is wiggle room. I tried them out on the mountains at Alta/Snowbird, Utah and they kept my feet toasty warm and dry. 10-12 degrees and lots of deep snow and for the first time ever, my toes did not get cold! And I only wore a pair of ski socks with them. I received lots of compliments on them also. These were the only boots I took on the trip and wore them everywhere all week. Even at the airports the laces untie and loosen easily so you can get them on and off without struggling all day, yet stay tightly laced when tied. I absolutely love them!
