I had one color of this boot so when they went on sale I bought two more pair in different colors. The purple or Mulberry I think its called, was one size too small. I ware a size 10. I think the purple boot was about 1 size smaller than the other two pairs of size 10 that I have. Had to return, just too small. Disappointed that the sizing was so off on one pair.
I have to add that these boots are the most comfortable boots I own. I have a bad back and I can be in these all day.

Love the color and style. They look like a moccasin with a modern color twist. They look great with jeans and cords. At this point I own 3 pairs of these. Thanks Sorel for combining comfort and style.
I would recommend this product.

I've had Sorel boots all my life. I Loved the style of this boot, the quality looked good and all, but the size was way too small for me. Purchase the pair at around 70$ and had to pay almost 20$ for the return. I'm a bit bummed out.

This boot is a cute commuter boot; meaning it'll get you dry from point A to point B dry no problem but it is not designed to withstand long durations to extreme conditions.
I like that it has a moccassin look. It is the "shell" of the boot world. No fur or insulin on the side of the boot so it is not designed to keep you warm. I would image it would be nice boot to have to trek to and from work in extreme conditions but yet not overheat once your inside (I live in So Cal so I don't have to deal with that :). I have to wear this boot with my thick socks (hiking). There is slight padding on the inner sole so it is fairly comfortable. The sole is much stiffer than I expected, but not uncomfortably so. There is a significant amount of rubber on the heel and pad of the foot for traction, and I haven't had slippage problems yet. The laces are simply leather bands so it doesn't cinch up super tight, but the laces grip themselves well so I don't worry about them loosening.
I typically wear this shoe on rainy days here (commuting to and from work- it stands up well) stepping in puddles and what not, but it wouldn't lasts if I sat outside for several hours in the rain. I have a classic pair of Sorel Tivoli's I wear when I want waterproof without a doubt (if you're looking for dependability and cute- get a pair of printed Tivoli's)- but those have a liner with a fur lip so they're considerably warmer. I wore this boot to Mammoth on a spring snowboard trip recently it is did fine until I sat in the snow playing with my kids for a couple hours. The toes started to get saturated and I felt some moisture, but I'm not too surprised.
Also, in my Tivoli's I wear an eight and in this shoe although I also got an 8 I would definitely say it is a snugger fit. If you're in doubt; size up.
These are about $90 on Amazon- if I paid that price I wouldn't of been pleased for what I paid for. However I got them one sale straight from the Sorel manufacturer/website for $50 so I'm content with them.
Overall: Cute/trendier, good for short exposure to extreme conditions, fairly comfortable for a "shell" of a boot

I'm a size 6-7 and the 7 just fits with thin or no socks. I like the narrower fit on this style. They are very cute in the green and purple and seem to match a lot of my clothes.
I have had them a few weeks and have worn them manny times, i find them comfy all day while on my feet 8-10 hours. The crape sole doesn't slip on wet cerfaces, I'm very happy with my new boots.

I had to return these boots as they were way too big. Usually wear a sz 8.5-9, so I ordered the 9. They were huge on me! The style of the boot was cute and the quality seemed great, but I have pretty narrow feet and slender legs and these boots just looked bulky on me.
I do not recommend this product.

This boot is very cute and looks well made, however, it runs very small. Bought 3 pair for myself and daughters and had to return them for larger sizes. Haven't received the new ones yet, but hopefully they will be worth the effort.

I liked the Joplin boots the moment I saw them. I really like how they look like snow boots and comfy moccasins all in one. So I expected them to be fully functional as not only cold weather shoes but also good work shoes. I work on my feet for 4 to 5 hours at a time on hard, unforgiving wood floors so I needed the comfort and support as well as the warmth I hoped these boots would give me. And I was not disappointed! I really wanted the purple Joplins as they are a truly pretty pair of shoes, however, after reading the reviews that I should go up a size and they only had up to my size in purple, I decided to get the blue ones because they were available in the next larger size to mine. They fit big on me but with thick socks I get a bit of a snugger fit. And, just as I hoped, they are soooo comfortable and warm. When I wear the Joplins to work--it feels like I'm walking on ergonomic pillows cradled in heated blankets! Yes! And the shoes are truly fashionable as well as functional. So my blue suede shoes are a big hit with me (pun intended)! :) When I wear my Joplins to work, my feet no longer sing the blues and that makes me a happy camper! :)
I would recommend this product.

I got them in orange, of course, because orange is my favorite color. I would say, in the past week that I have owned them, about 20 different times people said how cute my boots with or how much they liked them--and these compliments were from both ladies and guys. I can't tell you how comfortable these shoes are. I hate wearing shoes. Honestly. But, these... they're like wearing slippers with support/padding and they have grip on the bottom for going through dirt!!! I LOVE THESE! DONT BUY THEM BECAUSE THEN EVERYONE ELSE WILL HAVE THEM AND I WONT BE HIPSTER AND UNIQUE ANYMORE! I could wear these shoes every day for the rest of my life. (Well, I have been lately... goodbye sperry's, I'm not sure if I can go back to wearing you). I got a 7.5 and I'm a size 8 in sperrys, a size 7.5 in recent nike shoes, and I wear vans that are an 8.
I would recommend this product.

These cute little boots arrived today and look just lovely. I ordered the color I most wanted~the ones with the pumpkin colored contrast with the pale upper. I was a little worried about choosing the pumpkin/tan over something more practical (something darker to hide the dirt) but I think they would have been O.K. as the light upper is somewhat more grey than it appears in the photos. However, I'm not keeping them. The seam that joins the tan/grey shaft of the boot to the tan/grey bottom portion of the boot presses on the top of my foot uncomfortably. I ordered Joan of the Arctic boots and had the very same problem. I have a wide foot and a high arch. I own both the Chipahko blanket boots and the Cozy Cates and both pairs are wonderful! No breaking in at all. I just need to keep in mind that I can't wear the ones with a seam over the top of the foot. Having read previous reviews, I did order a size up from my usual 8 to a 9. An 8 1/2 would have been perfect but 9 is about a half size too long. Ordering up did not help the high arch/pinchy seam problem at all. Everything about every pair of Sorels I've ordered is wonderful~materials, workmanship, and service. This is a fit/foot issue.
I would recommend this product.

I thought these boots looked cute. I assumed that they were warm boots, and I was surprised when I discovered they weren't. I bought the boots for warmth and outdoor wear. The Joplin boots were not what I expected of a Sorel boot. I guess don't assume when you buy online.
I do not recommend this product.

I'm not sure that I would have paid full price for these, but once they were on sale I was more than happy to get them and I'm so glad that I did. I wear them all the time! They are comfy and with thick socks warm even on -15 degree days. They don't feel too study so I'm not counting on them lasting for more than a few years, but I know that I'm going to enjoy them while they last!
I would recommend this product.

This is a nice boot for day to day things. I wouldn't recommend it for extended periods of being in the snow or slush. However, if you need something that's nice and not too bulky to get too and from work or school, this is a great product. I purchased it in the elderberry, which looked brown to me online and actually turned out purple, but I was fine with that.
I would recommend this product.

Only complaint I have is when you slide your foot into the boot it is tight at the top seam, (top of shoe below the laces). I boughT one pair 9 1/2 & chose my 2nd pair as I do love them a lot Tto a 10 and they fit about the same. They are not winter boots ... you need warm socks. I personally will get a lot of wear & tear out of mine throught the year. Love the moccassin feel. Comfortable & a fun look.
I would recommend this product.

I bought these in Silver Sage and the color is amazing! I have Joan of Arctics and Trivoli Camp 18s in size 7 but based on a lot of the reviews I decided to go try some on in store before buying. I ended up ordering these in size 8 because I might wear them with a thicker sock and I don't think that would have worked well in 7s. I'm not gonna lie though, I probably would have ordered them anyway if 7 was my only option, they are that amazing!!

I love these boots! So comfortable and adorable on and great for in between flurries and blizzard weather. I am a size 9 - 9.5 and a size 10 fits perfectly. They are warm enough to walk in the snow but not too hot to wear inside at work. Love them!
