Sorel Women's Joan Of Arctic Boot
I just returned from a ski trip and these boots were exceptionally awesome. They were brand new but very comfy and kept my feet warm in absolute blizzard conditions. The big decision seems to be sizing. I am always an 8 and never vary from that, but I took the advise of reviews and ordered down to a 7. The 7 fit but my toes were touching the end of the shoe and I was afraid it would rub if I wore them for any time. The 7 also rubbed the back of my heel. I had to go elsewhere to find an 8 (sold out)and that one fit fantastic. I didn't find it run big at all. I was able to wear one thin pair of socks and one very thick wool pair with comfort. The more significant size also didn't rub my heel either. i suppose the thick socks helped and I did use some band-aids to play it safe but I wore them rather long and no problems what so ever. For me, I found they fit true to size with enough extra room to fit thick socks. I also was able to get my pants and underlayer tucked into them with comfort. For those pondering size, the only advice I can give on sizing is to just order both and keep the one that fits best since you will probably have these for many years.
