- Are the Sorel Joan Forward Platform Chelsea boots waterproof?
- Yes. Sorel builds them with a waterproof leather and synthetic upper and sealed construction, so rain and slush stay out. The elastic side panels are the only spot to watch in deep puddles.
- How do they fit compared with other Sorel boots?
- They run large. Many owners go down half a size from their usual Sorel size, and the B width is on the narrow side.
- How tall is the heel and platform?
- The block heel is 2.25 inches and the platform is 1.5 inches, so the net lift is about 2.25 inches with a chunky, stable base.
- Are they good for walking all day?
- For commuting and city errands, yes. The foam midsole and EVA footbed cushion the step, but the weight and stiffness make them tiring for long walks.
- How do they compare with the flat Sorel Emelie Chelsea?
- The Joan Forward adds a platform, a block heel and a lugged sole for wet weather. The Emelie is lighter and flatter but less protective in rain.
- What is in the box?
- One pair of boots. No extra laces or care kit is included.
