Sorel Women's Joan of Arctic¿ Wedge II

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.

I'd like to start out by saying, these are single handedly thee most comfortable boots I've ever been blessed to have on my feet. It doesn't feel like I'm wearing a heel, my toes aren't crammed, they aren't too tight around my ankle/lower calf.However, I will say, I'm rather disappointed with how scuffed up they came. These are supposed to be brand new, and it looks like someone already worn them out and about and scuffed them all up. For $230, they should be in mint condition. It is a bit frustrating that they look like that.

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.

I know these have gotten a lot of hype for being fake, but they are indiscernible from the $240 ones I tried on at Nordstrom. I’m just in love with them. I don’t like much of a heel, but these are seriously comfortable. I didn’t want to take them off, but it’s August and I’m just at home wearing joggers so there’s not a lot of need for boots today.SIZINGI have a wide toe box. However, these boots weren’t constricting. I did have on normal socks when I wore them around my apartment, but I think thick wool socks would still fit. I’m a 6.5/7 and sometimes get sz 7.5 for boots. I purchase a 7 and these Sorels and am happy with that.WINTERI live in Minnesota and winter gets brutally cold with ice and snow on the sidewalks from November to March. That being said, I still walk around a lot downtown and need a sturdy, warm shoe. This fits the bill. The sole is made for inclement weather. Even with the heel, they feel very sturdy. The shoe itself isn’t very insulated, but like I said, a thick sock will fit.I’ll update after tromping around in the snow a few times.

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.

Very cute, wear them all the time but laces do get loose mid day. Hard to tighten fully

I’m definitely a Sorel wedge boot addict… these did not disappoint! I live in an icy place too and overall these boots get excellent traction which is a plus.

Quality of these boots is great and the style is so cute when dressed up or down. Great purchase!
