I was shopping for a stylish snow boot with a shearling lining. These have NO shearling lining which is a huge disappointment to me. They have a white fleece lining. The cuff is shearling, but that is not what I wanted. I wanted a shearling footbed either top or bottom. Back to Ugg.
I'd also recommend:

I was drawn to this boot immediately because of how stylish they are. I live in Upstate, New York so finding a warm AND cute boot is a rarity. I didn't hesitate when ordering. When I received them, however, I couldn't help but be extremely disappointed. The craftsmanship and construction is subpar, especially considering the price tag. There were lots of loose threads, threads sticking out everywhere, and the shearling is very thin. Every time I take the boot off the insert comes all the way out as it isn't adheared to the boot at all. Under the liner insert is a plastic heal and construction. So while they are cute, I expected more for my money.

I rarely write reviews. I've had my eyes on these for a while. I really wanted to buy them but I never wear heels due to joint issues. But I was so drawn to them that even though I've bought 5 other pair of Sorels in one year, I bought these too. As other reviewers said, they don't feel like heels. They feel stable and well-cushioned as far as shock absorbtion goes. I do feel some pain in my joints from wearing a heel for hours but I have severe arthritis. With that said, these boots are so chic - they make me so happy. These are the kind of shoes that give you that extra bit of swagger in your step. They are feel-good boots. If you're on the fence like I was because of the heel height, just buy them. Now I'm trying to talk myself out of buying the other color. And by the way, the gray boots are gray. I've seen reviews either on this site or other sites saying the boots appeared to be olive green when they received them and some boots look more two-toned than others. Not the case for the boots I received.

Wonderful boots! I bought the black and love then. The wedge heel is very comfortable. Love the fleece lining and the shaft height for keeping my ankles warm. Didn’t think I’d like the tie bout it allows me to adjust how tight they are at the ankle. Usually wear size 8.5 or 9... bought the 9 and they fit great. I call them my city snow boots because of the wedge heel but you could probably hike in them. I also have the Sorel Chelsea II Wedge Boot and have hiked in them in the past.

I ordered the SOREL Joan of Arc Wedge 2 Shearling in my normal size but sent them back. The toe box felt a little tight and short because of the shearling. But oddly, the tongue of the shoe which is also backed in shearling was not wide enough to really tuck inside the sides of the boot like is typical - a cheap mistake for a pricy boot. And when I tucked my jeans in, there were spaces on both sides. My foot is medium to slightly narrow. I did purchase the Joan of Arc Wedge Chelsea from a local source and those were very roomy - the heal a little sloppy ('eats' thin socks so I wear wool). Arch support interesting - not rounded but sharp slant - may add 'Hapad, inc' metatarsal support (wool stick on arch pad). Love the wedge style -

I purchased the Cattail after spending hours online trying to make sure the color was maroon instead of brown, and I was delightfully surprised to receive a beautiful burgundy color in the mail today, even better! I’m a terrible judge of width and arch support because I’m slightly wide, and have super high arches. But I found these to be every bit as comfortable as the reviews indicate. They were just slightly narrow, not even enough to be a concern. But the best part is just how cute and flattering they are!!!! Great purchase!!!

I was torn between colors and the cattail for sure was my favorite, These lined Joan of Arcs fit me much better than the unlined ones. I'm even able to get into them with an sheepskin footbed line and thick sock for those super cold days.

I purchased the camel brown boots in the beginning of the season and the second I saw them on sale in grey, I snatched them up. I live in MN, and there are not only super cute and comment worthy at school drop off, but they are so warm and cozy on cold mornings. I can wear these boots for hours and feel comfortable. They look perfect with leggings and jeans. And, they can be dressed up or down. They fit perfect to size (8.5) and have no pinch points. I love them!

Really like them but just a head's up - they are more green than grey. The "furry" lining is grey but the majority of the outside is a khaki green color. I like it but not what I was expecting from the photos. Comfortable and warm - wore to a very cold football game the 1st time I wore them (& was on my feet for hours).

These boots are so stylish!! They are super comfy, definitely doesn’t feel like you are wearing a 3” heel. They have great traction so you feel secure when walking. Want to get another color before they are out of stock!

I absolutely love these boots!!! So cute with leggings. The wedge is visually nice , but also really comfortable. I wear them on long walks with the dogs and they are warm and so comfortable! I sized up 1/2 size from my regular size. Buy them.

Bought this at the end of summer and finally got to wear them when the weather got cold. I love them and get lots of compliments about them! They are definitely warm (YAY!) and surprisingly fit true to size with the Sherpa! Super cute, cozy and pretty comfy, too. Truly a great buy! I'm a fan of these wedgesI have 2 pairs: one for the lesser cold and one for the bitter cold. Hope this helps!

TTS. These are the cutest winter boot. They are not hard to walk in at all. As comfortable as a sneaker, even after all day. The shearling MAKES these boots!

Stumbled on a sale after contemplating buying during the winter at full price so I couldn't pass them up. They are gorgeous! Love the lamb fur, the sturdy construction of the wedge, and the color. They fit perfectly and look great on my feet. I can wait to wear them regularly. Will definitely get other colors

I've been wanting a pair of Joan of Arctic wedge boots for a while because I think they look so chic and I live in a cold climate. It was hard to decide which color to get because both are so appealing, but I went with Quarry because I didn't have any grey boots. I'm so pleased with these! I have worn them practically every day since I got them. They are very warm and very weatherproof. The snow and slush and ice has been unavoidable for months where I live, and these boots handle it like a champ. No slipping or sliding, no cold wet toes, and no salt stains. Just beautiful, comfortable, fabulous. I recommend going up a half size if you want to have room for warm socks.

I bought these in Quarry and absolutely love them! My momma didn't name me Grace for a reason and with all the snow and ice we've had this winter I wanted something I could walk outdoors in without falling, but still rock on nights out and look hot. These are perfect! I've worn them nearly every day since I got them and immediately bought more in another style. I get so many compliments every time I wear them. They keep my feet warm and dry. The wedge style is sturdy, yet somehow incredibly comfortable. The camel pair will be next! I adore these boots!

Yes they fit true to size so going up a half size is perfect, especially if you like wearing boot socks or fuzzy fun socks like I do. These are my second pair of Sorel in two months and I am so happy I made the investment. The perfect go-to's for wearing my skinny jeans skirts and dresses. Did I mention, they are Super Warm :) and walking through the snow in Michigan is no problem at all. I am a very happy lady:)

I got these right before the big snow storm of fabruary 2019 hit Seattle. They kept my feet warm, dry and very stylish! I could not recommend these enough for anyone that lives where it is cold and or wet! The weather proofing is amazing! These boots have been life changing for me! I typically wear a size 8.5 in all my other sorels. These fit true to size. I can even fit warm socks under without feeling like my feet are suffocating. The only down side to this boot was that the fur on top is very white and a little bit of my blue jeans rubbed off onto them.

I was skeptical that the boots wouldn't be comfortable or that they wouldn't resiste water/snow. I had to re-order 1/2 a size larger since they were tight at my normal size. I usually buy 9 for all my shoes except for tennis shoes (I get 9.5). Overall, the boots are so comfortable, the heel is not too high and you can walk long distance without any discomfort.

I love these shoes! They are so cozy, and stylish, too! I have a wider foot, but the toe box in these feels ok, even when I wear them all day. I will say the non-furry version actually does feel more narrow oddly. Also, i saw a lot of the reviews say they look green, but mine are gray with maybe a very slight greenish tone.

I had my eye on these shoes for a while. I was quick to buy when they went on sale. They are stylish, mostly comfortable (heel is .5" too tall for my comfort) but the color was off. The left shoe was two toned and the right shoe was one toned. Had the shoes been a matching set I would have kept them. Given the color problem and the slightly tall heel, these were a no-go.

So I’m very torn on how to review these. I bought one pair and returned them due to the boots having a hole in the leather and also the boots were a half size too small. After returning them I reordered the same pair but a half size up. This pair look way more green than grey. I wore them today and I’m really not liking the color. I will most likely return due to the color. The comfort and style are exemplary though. I wore them all day and they are very warm and comfy.
