Customer Reviews SOREL Caribou™

Great looking, and fit, just made me realize that I prefer a zip up snow boot.

I live in Chicago and purchased these to wear when walking my dogs. We get loads of snow which can sometimes be deep, so I needed a boot that could withstand those conditions. I tried two other boots from Sorel and returned them because of sizing and the fact that they weren't truly waterproof. These boots are clunky and the style isn't my favorite. They remind me a little of when you are trying to walk in ski boots because there isn't much ankle mobility; they are rigid. Regardless of style, they are BY FAR the warmest AND most functional in sub-zero temps and deep snow. My feet have never gotten cold or wet and I'm glad I decided to go with these. The inside is wool lined (but not itchy) so I have never worn anything but thin socks in these. If you wear thick socks, buy 1/2 size larger. If you have other Sorel shoes, these are true to those sizes.

I recently moved to Seattle. These were recommended to me by my Alaskan-raised husband as THE legit winter boot. Size is true as long as I’m wearing thick socks, and they took a day to stretch some. I dig the removable felt liner. Downside: they don’t breathe so be prepared to have stinky feet if you wear them for long periods.

I have had these boots for many years and have nothing but praise for them. I see my friends struggle with stiff plastic and cold boots by other major makers and I am so glad I continue to wear these - yes, I do major winter camping and hiking wearing these boots - in my opinion they can't be beat - not too fashionable maybe but the comfort and durability can't be beat - I clean them up and treat with mink oil before storing for the summer and they are so soft and pliable when I get them out again for the next season. We all need to buy better quality that lasts and take good care instead of tossing out stuff willy-nilly. Best boots!!!

Can't beat the Sorel Caribou boots if you live in the Colorado ski country. Finally had to break down and get a new pair....my 30-year old Caribou boots needed replacing. Usually wear a size 9 in most brands, but ordered a size 8 and 8.5 based on reviews. The 8.5 was perfect! Thanks Zappos for awesome return policy.

These are awesome boots. They are heavy with great traction. Not as stylish as the out and abouts, but cute and rugged nonetheless.

My daughter takes a 7.5 shoe size and ordered this boot in 7.5 but it was WAY too big. She loved the style so she tried the 6.5 because 7 wasn't available. Unfortunately there isn't quite enough room for a thick winter sock. We recommend sizing down a half size from your normal.

I have a small horse farm in North Dakota. These boots came just in time for a big blizzard. They did not disappoint. Have had trouble wth heal pain in the past and I can muck stalls in complete comfort with these boots.
