I bought these shoes to replace a pair that has lasted 30-years (the stays both broke this year within a week of each other). So far so good with the new boots. The fit is similar, a bit wider but should work with heavy socks. The leather shaft of the boot feels very stiff which I don't remember from the original pair, but I am assuming it will work into shape over time.

I bought these 29 years ago. Hopefully they are still made the same way.

The Men's Caribou Boot is the Classic Sorel Boot!! I already have the black and now wanted to add the tan to my collection.

I'm super happy with these boots! I purchased them to replace an older pair of Sorels that are still in great condition but I did not have much traction and would slip-slide all over on winter hikes. I usually wear a 9 but purchased the 8 1/2 as some of the reviews said they run a 1/2 size roomier. I was nervous about that, but these fit great. They are so warm and cushioned. I have worn them on a few hikes in the woods in snow and the traction is so much better than my older ones...not perfect on ice of course but I'm not sure anything is! Really great--I'm so glad I have them and no doubt, they'll last a long time.

I bought these boots when I moved East from California (2003) and used them for snow shoveling and such. December 2022 I wore them on tour to the Arctic Circle, Northern Finland and Norway, and they worked fine. I traveled with three others wearing the same model. I wore them home to lighten the carryon bag and had no concerns. My feet were warm yet not too warm throughout the trip.

I love these boots. I 100% recommend ordering one full size up - despite so many reviews to order one full size down. I have previously bought these boots a size down due to reviews and they did not even come close to fitting. I order 1-2 sizes larger than normal to allow room for a winter sock and room for movement. Highly recommend this boot!

Great boots! I bought them to replace the original Sorel boots that I purchased many years ago and finally had to retire. Would recommend this boot for both quality and performance.

These are the warmest, coziest, most versatile boots I've ever owned. I wore them through snow and slush and my feet stayed dry and warm. They easily fit under my snow pants and look cute outside of a pair of leggings. I highly recommend these boots!

This year, we have been hammered by snow in the Sierra. The snow is deep and in the last three weeks, I don't think there has been a day above freezing. I have shoveled more snow than I remember in the last 35 years. In the Caribou, my feet are warm and dry.
The Forest Service has been grooming forest roads. I can hike for miles in the boots, with no pain or hot spots.
Some of the reviews say the the boots aren't constructed as well as they used to be. That may be the case, but mine are made well. I could find no other snow boot that matched, let alone surpassed, the Caribou.
They are just what I wanted.

I cannot recommend these boots enough! I've had these boots for over a year now and while they still look great. They keep my feet dry and warm and are comfortable to walk in. Plus they don't go up to high on my leg like other boots (I'm short so true tall boots often are too close to my knee). The grips on the bottom are great as well. They're great for trekking through the snow, shoveling snow, or just being outside in below zero temps. These boots have served me well for the past 2 midwest winters and I'm sure they'll serve me for many more

I have several pairs of Sorel boots but really wanted a pair for the extreme Buffalo cold and snow these did not disappoint!! They are sturdy and have great traction, and my toes stay warm!

Love love love these boots. Honestly my last pair of Sorels were 30 years old and I was ready for an update. With record-setting snowfall this year, my feet have never gotten cold in these boots while walking my dog every day. These boots will last

I have always wanted a pair of Sorel Caribou's! They seem a bit narrow, but that may correct as the lining breaks in. Otherwise, very comfortable and warm for the Michigan winters. Lighter in weight than I expected. I hope they have the durability they're known for.

I was looking for a good sturdy boot to walk through snow and ice in the park with my dog. After much research, I settled on Sorel Caribou. These boots are warm and comfy. A little bulky but that's ok for this type of boot, and they felt less bulky the more I walked in them. I don't think I would wear them out shopping, but for walking the dog, they work. Traction seems good so far (though on solid ice, spikes will still be needed). In Sorel boots, I usually wear 8.5 but these were too big so I returned the 8.5 for the 8, which fit well even with heavy wool socks. I like the style and am happy with the purchase!

Warm and comfortable. I wear a 7.5 normally but the 8 was a good fit to wear the boots with wool socks and not have my feet over crowded. Love the boots.

Best snow boots out there, comfortable, keep feet warm even with standard socks. Thanks to the hybrid grip even walking on ice is no problem whatsoever!
