They had me at RED! I love red foot coverings, boots, pumps, sneakers, slippers all of them. I also love Sorel boots. I am sitting at my desk writing this review wearing my new RED Joan Rain Wedge. Rain is forecast for Wednesday I can't wait. One more excellent thing about these boots: I have large feet for my height; this wedge style makes my feet appear shorter.

BUY THESE!
I have several pairs of Sorel wedge boots and they are all the MOST comfortable boots ever. They're very warm and waterproof with great traction. Great for mucky Michigan weather. I am typically an 8 but after reading the reviews I ordered a 7.5. They are fine but if I wanted to wear a thick sock an * would have worked, as well. I'd say they run very slightly small.

Most comfortable pair of boots I own. Warm enough for snow.

These shoes were a great fit, and so comfortable!
It's been great to have them during this rainy weather.

These boots are THE BEST. I ordered these for the rainy season here in the South and I didn't want the same Bean boots as everyone else. These arrived this week and have far exceeded my expectations!
The first thing about these that you should know is that they are very comfortable. Even with the wedge & rubber material, they don't pinch and are easy to walk in.
The second thing is that the construction is so nice. The inside is lined with a padded mesh so you don't get the friction sore spots from your typical rainboots. They are also quite a bit warmer.
Finally, I have gotten a million compliments on these (I have them in red and they stick out)! Everyone has said something nice, even men, and a few people have even asked to touch them.
All in all, I highly recommend these to anyone. I was skeptical of a rain wedge (sounded like an oxymoron) but I have even done a 2 mile walking tour in the rain without an issue.
I'd also recommend:

I bought mine couple years ago. First, the size runs big so size down whole size unless you want thick socks. I used it for two trips, one to Iceland and the other one to China. I took them because thinking it is easier to clean. The boots were super comfortable like any other Sorel boots and warm. Only problem I have is after two trips, the buttons on the boots are starting to fall off. Right now, half of them are gone so it doesn't look very cool. I decided to give them to goodwill. But, understand, my trips were rough going to mountains and muds. You wouldn't have any problems if you just going to walk in the city.

At first i was skeptical but after i paired them with an outfit i was in love! They are adorable and practical, very comfortable except the inside lining is kind of scratchy and i had pretty thick socks on. I had them on for about 3 hours running errands in a snow storm. Very sturdy and I didn’t slip or feel unsuported once. I ordered an 8 1/2 (my true size is a 9) based on other reviews and they fit perfect. I will definitely be buying another SOREL wedge in the near future!

I really wanted the green so I ignored my fellow reviewers and did not go down a half size. LEARN FROM MY MISTAKE, FRIENDS! Had to send back the green/nori in exchange for the black but I am still happy because they are great boots. I think regular rain boots are hideous especially on giant feet like mine so these fit the bill perfectly for me!

I wear a size 7.5 or 8, but I typically lean toward 8 in closed-toe shoes and boots. I purchased the 8, and they are a half size too large. They are so comfortable and great quality that I considered keeping them, but my heel lifts slightly when I walk. My correct size is no longer available, so I am sad to say that I will have to return them.

I love these boots, they run large but I ordered a size smaller per the reviews. They are the cutest rainboots and very comfy. They are heavy but they are super soft and I feel like I'm walking on a cloud even after many hours on my feet. They can be squeaky when tied tight (rubber tongue rubbing on the boot shaft) but a small piece of fabric tape boot cured the squeak.

Still deciding! Definitely order a half size SMALLER than your usual. I will still need thicker socks for full comfort. I think it is a very army green. Almost too much military for me. Not sure I can pull it off. Maybe with tights? VERY COMFORTABLE though. My first Sorels. LOVELOVELOVE zappos free shipping and free returns. They make shopping so EASY!

Love Sorel. All 9's fit but this one. It runs pretty large and I should have sized down. Problem is you can't tighten them up because the rubber is stiff and the laces have no where to tighten to boot too.

I love these boots! They're so comfy and super cute. The quality is amazing and my feet stay super warm in freezing weather with just some thin socks. I still have room for thicker wool socks if needed. The only thing I would say that's a little negative is that I noticed a slight squeak when walking so it takes some adjusting to keep them quiet, or perhaps I just need to wear them in a bit more. Also, where one of the little metal shoelace loops connects to the boot on the side is pretty crooked. So one side looks a little lopsided. It's not a huge deal, but it's noticeable and I'm weird about things matching or being straight. So that was kind of a bummer. I wear between a 8.5 and 9 and the 8.5 fits great. They clean easily and I can rock them to work in an office or slip them on to run errands. And when I say "run" errands, I mean these things are comfortable enough to jog in. Keep up the good work Sorel!

Bought these for my wife and I feel she's wearing them out of spite. Told my friends I bought them for our one year anniversary and they thought I was joking but they make her happy. Here's what she says though: they're cute, they're comfortable, the heel isn't too high, the opening is big enough you can wear jeans with them but the laces are tough to get tight (she rolled her ankle getting out of the car once). Step up from a normal rain boot. She definitely wants them in green now.

Throw on with a casual outfit or wear out for a night on the town, these boots make any outfit. Extremely comfortable, just a bit big compared to my normal 7.5's.

I was able to snag a pair of these finally and I couldn't be happier with my purchase! They are extremely comfortable and can be worn for long periods of time without regretting it. If I had to point out a con it would be that they make a slight squeek when I walk but I assume that's to be expected since they are rubber and rub against themselves at the laces. It's really not noticeable or loud but I know it's there.

This boot definitely runs large, I'm always between an 8 and 8.5 and purchased the 8.5 and now I wish I hadn't because the 8 is sold out! It looks like a great boot and I love Sorels, but definitely order a 1/2 size down. I think even with thick socks, they'd be too big.

I've worn this out in the rain and it's totally waterproof, but the style is versatile and would be good in any cooler weather.
With thin socks the boot runs slightly large, with normal thicker winter socks I think it would fit perfectly.

Let me preface that I have been wanting a Joan boot for years, I just never could justify rewarding myself with a pair. These did not disappoint. I live in the PNW so 6 months of rain is a normal occurrence and any time a cute shoe can be waterproof, it's a win-win. I will say the boots are a bit weighty due to the rubber construction but it's nothing outrageous. I think the real test will be to see how long the laces last but initial construction seems solid so I don't anticipate issues.

I really liked the boot. It fit well and the look was great. They are waterproof and very comfortable. My only complaint would be the laces. They don't stay tied and pull the top tight enough. Other than they're a perfect rain boot.

I am torn on these boots. I love the idea of the stylish rain boot but the shaft height is a bit too high. I really wish they were about 1/2-1 inch shorter. The boots are very comfortable (as are all the Sorel ones I have). I like the looks & functionality of them. They do "squeak" a bit from the tongue rubbing, but I'm going to try to use oil or baby powder to stop that. Overall, I like the boots but wish they were a bit shorter. I'm glad I got them on sale - I would definitely return if they had been full price.

These boots are perfect!! I wore rain boots for years but wanted something that was waterproof and could still wear out and matched more of the look I was going for. You definitely need to wear high socks with them so the tongue doesn't scratch your ankle but other than that no complaints!

I love sorel boots, I wear them to death. There were just way too chunky looking for my taste. Between the wedge, the wide throat at the bottom of your leg and the giant detailing, these looked enormous on my feet. Have to return them, going with the Joan of arc instead.

I love the style of most of the Sorel Joan boots so there is nothing but love for the way these boots look.
I have wide feet and am usually a 9 in regular shoes but 8 or 8.5 in Sorel because they fit wide and run big. An 8.5 in these were still very roomy so I would definitely size down for these.
I found them to be quite loose and a bit stiff around the ankle. The fact that the laces didn't stay tied very well also made them feel even looser. I probably could have gotten a smaller size but i found the inside mesh a bit chafing so I didn't want to try anything smaller.
Overall with the right socks these booties are great. I love the way they look. They feel pretty comfortable for a heel. The wedge is narrow but solid enough to feel stable on even surface. I would still wear other boots for real mucking in the mud/ rain.
