Explorer Next Joan Waterproof Boot (Women)

I have a few pairs of Sorels. I am normally a size 8 in most shoes, but wear an 8.5 in many Sorel styles. I got these in an 8 based on availability, and thought I would give it a shot. Fits perfectly and super comfortable right out of the box. I do have somewhat narrow feet so that may help. And I wouldn’t be comfortable wearing super thick socks with these. But I live in southern coastal Virginia so rarely would I ever wear super thick socks. Love the style of these boots and the comfort is great!

I have been searching for a boot/gym shoe hybrid - wanted something warm to wear while running errands and back/forth to the gym in Chicago winters. Sorel Explorer Next WP boots are perfect. Easy on/off, lined with cozy sherpa and the same wooly felt on the tongue. The bottoms have a grippy panel in the center, they are waterproof too! The hi - top profile is perfect for dealing with a bit of snow and the lace ties make it easy to get them on and off. They have good flex in the ankle area which makes it comfortable to walk. These are the perfect hybrid between a winter boot and athletic shoe. The Rack made it an easy decision with their pricing as there is a very similar current style for 2X the money at Nordstrom now. <3

I cannot express how amazing these boots are. I just went out in 0 degree weather for a 3 hr hike through the woods. My feet were completely comfortable the entire time. I wore a thin pair of socks with the boots and I was comfortable and warm the whole time. I can’t believe it !! Just amazing !! The thin layer of wool over the toe area is just right for letting your feet breath and keeping the temperature controlled
