Poor quality

1 year ago

I have worn these boots for one season. I by no means trudge through heavy snow with them or wear them a ton or through tough conditions. I wear them to run errands and the seams have split on both boots. Unfortunately will not recommend or buy these boots again.

Not my style

7 months ago

My usual size in sneakers and boots is EU 40 and picked the same in these. My foot length is 25 cm and width 10 cm. Honestly I didn’t like the look that much, especially the fur color threw me off. I’m all about details and colors working together. Shoes themselves were comfy.

Cute boot

1 year ago

I’ve only worn these boots a couple times so far. I got them for dog walking in the winter. So far I have found them to be semi comfortable. I wore them for about 4 hours each time I had them on. Couple things I didn’t like are 1) the are a little wide/bulky on my instep area of my foot and 2) the laces have to be pulled tight and double knotted or the will come loose. I will try to not lace through the top loop. I think that will help tighten them. We will see.

My second pair of these boots so high expectations

1 year ago

This is my second pair of these boots and I am extremely disappointed with them, I am a dog walker and my last pair of the same boot lasted me the last 3 years or so, very comfy and warm and most importantly COMPLETELY WATERPROOF - these new ones let in the wet and at the end of the day my feet are soaked, it seems to be along the top seam of the sole, maybe they're faulty or something but my old ones are still waterproof, I just needed new ones as I wear them every day in heavy rain, wet fields and they are always great, not sure what to do with these as they don't do what I bought them for, other than that they are comfortable and warm as long as you are not walking in the wet. As with the old ones definitely size up by a half size, if not a full one - I'm a 37 but got a 38 to allow for thermal socks. Sorry about them not being clean for pic but I wear them in muck and very wet conditions

Sorel Missed the Mark on this one

1 year ago

Sorel missed the mark on this one Sizing and quality. I own several Sorel boots and love them as they are always true to size, can wear them all day, are comfortable and look great! Not these, however. They run way too small, are tight at toe and are too narrow. I cannot wear these for even a couple of hours. They are not the true Sorel quality. Unfortunately, Sorel missed the mark on this one. I cannot recommend as it was a wasted purchased.

New Joan Explorers are a different size!

1 year ago

This is my third pair of explorers. I love them so much that I literally wear them out! My surprise was the sizing has changed. I used to have to go up a size, but the new Joan’s are much bigger in length and width. What would you suggest I go for now. Normal size or half size up?

Black dye rubs off.

1 year ago

I really wanted to like these! They are cute and comfortable, but I was put off by the dye rubbing off. I contacted customer service, and I was informed that this is normal. Even so, I wasn’t willing to risk staining my own clothes and other surfaces.

A comfy sneaker boot

1 year ago

Bought these specifically to attend a cold NFL game (-1 * with wind chill). I'm usually an 8.5 but I bought a 9 to account for a heavier sock and they were perfect. They feel like a warm sneaker boot, lined with the perfect amount of fur- not too much but just enough to help insulate your feet. Had to walk 2 miles to catch the train after the game and these performed well. The only change I would make would be for more aggressive tread. Otherwise, I can see these being my go-to winter shoe now 😃

So comfy and light weight!!

1 year ago

I have two different colors in this boot. They are my go to in the winter months. This is my second winter season in them. I do normally wear a size 8 and I ordered a half size larger in both. I did have the 8 in one and ended up giving it to my niece bc they fit her. They are so comfortable and light weight which is a must. It’s hard for me during colder months bc shoes can be so heavy but these are great. Easy on and off. I want a couple other colors too and just haven’t gotten them yet.

BEST BOOTS

1 year ago

LITERALLY MY FAVORITE BOOTS EVER!!! These are the warmest, coziest, comfiest boots I have ever put on my feet! I wear these for everything from fall to winter. They are so durable and not to mention absolutely adorable!! I can wear them for any activity, hunting, hiking, sledding, or just to be cute! I even fell in a lake in them in the winter AND MY FEET STAYED DRY! They also still look great after that happened. If you buy one pair of boots for the winter GET THESE!!
