Sorel Women's Joan of Arctic Wedge II Boots - Waterproof Winter Snow Boots with Traction for Cold Weather | Perfect for Hiking, Snowshoeing & Outdoor Adventures

I got them as a gift for my wife, she loves them. Need I say more...I have worn these boots many times, all day and these are very comfortable. I've had them almost 1 year and they still look new. I think Sorel needs to keep making this style. I purchase a different style and they were a little squeaky and the leather felt hard and not flexible. Perhaps these are so comfortable because of the suede. I highly recommend these.I ordered the 8.5 in color Burro. The shipment came earlier than expected so that was nice. However, the outside of the box was incorrectly labeled because the boots I received were in the color Quarry. Very disappointed. I started a return and got the correct replacement within two days. Was able to drop off the return at Kohl's so that was convenient.I love, love, love these boots! They don't feel like high heels and they grip very well. They are comfortable right out of the box. The color is a rich brown that I was looking for. They seem true to size but just a tad narrow. They are leather so I figure they will stretch with time. The insole is soft and comfortable which is saying a lot since my feet are like delicate flowers. They don't feel warm with thin socks but that's ok since I live in Texas. I initially bought a knockoff White Mountain wedge (I had a gift card) but they just weren't the same: faux leather, the wedge wasn't fully covered, and the insole was hard as a rock. These were on sale so I pulled the trigger and splurged on myself. So glad I did. I like the laces because I have skinny feet so my feet tend to slide forward in most shoes but my foot stays in place with these. I did need medium thickness hiking socks, though. I may get different colored laces later for different looks.I went shopping for several hours in these and they remained comfortable except for the ball of my feet got sore and tired since I'm not used to walking in heels and I felt like the boot could use a bit more arch support. Other than that, I totally love them.Only wish I could get them to tie tighter. Love these boots. Wear a 7.5 and bought a 7.5. They are comfortable, if not a little roomy. Ran through the Atlanta airport in these boots, week 1 = didn’t fall = solid comfy boots.I will start that I wa skeptical since the price was cheap for the size I was ordering. I decided to give it a try. Worse case I return them. They are legit sorels and I'm excited about the find. Now this is my 3rd pair of sorel wedges. I usually order a size 10 in boots but my last sorel wedge I needed a size 10.5 so that's what I ordered in these and they fit perfect. I never really needed to break in my other wedges but these ones I prolly should have. I bought them for a concert so I would be comfortable standing. But my feet still hurt by the end of the night. Not as bad as other heels and such, but still hurt. So just be sure to try and break them in first. I just didn't have a chance to do so.I will start this review off by saying these are NOT fake or used Sorels like some of the other comments on here say. Judging a boot by its scratches does not make it worn or counterfeit. If it were worn then the soles would be dirty too, no? I used to work for Wolverine Worldwide, parent company of Sperry Top-Sider, and Sperry shoes are made with the exact same leather, it is extremely delicate and scratch prone. It is VERY unlikely you will get a pair that doesn’t have a scuff or two from the manufacturer or from being handled in transit. A tip we used on Sperry shoes that had scuffs and scratches- Jergens lotions work like a scratch remover on your shoes. You’re welcome. As for the comfort, I was a little apprehensive about needing to break these in, I have high arches and my feet blister easily, but as another review said she put them on and wore them all day on her first day with the boots, so I took a chance and did the same. My arches feel great and no blisters! My only complaint is the laces are hard to keep tied and come undone very easily, but overtime once they break in this should be easier to manage.These Sorel boots "ROCK"!!
