I haven't had issue - I'm not using them for hiking or acrobatics, but for shoveling snow, walking the dog etc, they've been fine - they also fit me perfectly, and feel like one smooth piece of material, in contract to other boots I've worn.

I also have the Sorel Joan of Arcadia, and I would encourage any one to try them on and walk around a bit, as I found them too heavy, and where the heavier bottom meets the shaft, tends to give me blisters right on the back of my ankle that no sock thickness can help. They are the warmest things I've ever put on though, so if I don't have to walk anywhere and am just sitting around a firepit, they are fantastic
