Overall my feet was realllllllllyyyy warm during the cold Boston weather ... however it’s really hard to take off . If you need to put this shoe on and off constantly during throughout the day then it’s not for you . Also this shoe is too heavy for long distance walking.
Other than that it does the job - it keeps my feet warm

I initially ordered a 9, but they were too tight so I ordered a 9.5. I go between 9 and 9.5 so if you’re not sure, go with the bigger size. I’ve seen some post that they order half size down, but I didn’t find that true for me. While I love there style and am on my way to the Poconos to try these puppies out, putting them on were a bit of a struggle mainly due the the liner with fur towards the ankle area of the boot. I loosened the strings a bit and had to shimmy my way in. After getting in the boot, they felt amazing with enough space for a thick sock. I’d definitely purchase again.

I was very excited to buy these boots but the turn from the neck of the boot down to the foot area is so incredibly narrow that I actually thought something was caught - I couldn't get my foot into them even after a few tries so had to return them. A bit disappointing.

I have owned two pairs of these boots and they are GREAT! Bought my first pair in 2011 and replaced them finally in 2023, and they were still going strong. I live in Colorado and spend winters in the mountains and no other boot comes close to keeping my feet this toasty in snowy conditions. I even summited a 14,000ft peak in January in these (with traction). The new pair is even better and still fit great. They take a few wears to break in and now fit like a glove. These will always and forever be my go-to winter boots!

Bought these to survive Chicago winter. Given the warmth and fit, I am excited for the snow!

These are perfect! We are wintering in Montana, and the 'warm' snow boots I had weren't working for me. My friend recommended these for me to try, and they are worth every penny! My feet get cold easily, and these keep them warm! I ordered a half size larger to be able to wear extra pair of socks, if needed, and they are a perfect fit.

This is such a warm, snug, attractive pair of boots. I walk in them all winter.

Super comfortable and warm boots, perfect for chilly michigan snow days. Fits true to size. Feels like its going to last forever. I just wish I could buy more laces from you guys!

Very warm. Just what I wanted. Runs a little small. I usually wear 8 1/2, glad I bought the size 9.

This is a very attractive boot but I am sending it back because I need something that will keep my feet warmer in very cold weather. I should have researched better before I purchased them.

Northern Michigan winters along the Great Lakes can be absolute garbage. I am 5’1 and these come up about 2” under my knee. They are super warm and keep my feet really dry. As far as ice… it’s ice. These help, but if I said they’ll protect your from it entirely, I’d be lying. They’re a lot better on it than some boots I’ve owned through the years of winters I’ve spent here. The replaceable liner is a bonus, it means unless a dog eats one… I’ll be able to have these amazing boots for years to come.

Very warm but a little stiff. Great for the purposes I bought it for (launching kayaks in winter, trudging through ice and puddles), but I'd probably purchase a slightly shorter pair for everyday use and longer hikes.

Love Thea boots but buy 1/2 size plus up. I have a high arch on one foot and couldn't get my foot in on that foot and with fur snug fit so go bigger! Really nice and cute but need to be able to get in and out easier with that harder rubber base.

Love sorels. Been a customer for over 10years. Love these boots! Size up if ur between sizes. Keeps toes and legs super warm. Boot is heavy-not for hikes unless you want extra resistance. Perfect to slip on to take kids to school. Waterproof, so perfect to wear on rainy days as well. I researched sorels, llbean, ugg, hunter, columbia, timberland, Merrell , keen and lands end. I came to the conclusion sorels are the best for the money for cold, northeast winter days.

Lacing provides great support. Higher on calf gives warmth and protection from deeper snow.

Pleased with purchase. Ordered a size 12, true to size. Worked well in the late season major snowfall. Not the greatest with arch support, but unsurprising in a snow boot.

These are the most incredible winter boots. Look cute and stay warm. They survived some epic blizzards this past winter and still look great. My feet were kept warm as we played in the snow.

My Joan of Arctic boots were immediately comfortable. i did go up a 1/2 size, based on the other reviews and i am a D width. I dont wear the heaviest socks because the felt linings keep my feet warm. Great boots for snow hiking, snow shoeing, dog walking and mucking.

I live in New Hampshire and these boots handle the weather perfectly! I keep the laces really loose so they feel soft, flexible and super comfy. Just my personal preference. They're very warm and sturdy. Very happy with this purchase.
