Customer Reviews SOREL Caribou™

These boots are perfect for tramping. They are rather large and heavy, so be prepared, but are absolutely watertight and keep my normally-freezing feet very warm, even when only in thin ankle socks. Will wear these for as many years as Sorel continues to make them.

PLEASE NOTE: I ordered size 8 and never wear anything bigger than a 7.5 I had ordered the 7.5 from a different company (not Zappos) and regret not checking with Zappos first since- after 2 weeks- I still don't have a refund from the other company. These boots are extremely attractive, and I ordered some after my the zippers in my old ones of a different brand broke on a recent ski trip. With everything shut down for COVID19 and spring arriving in my city, I probably won't be wearing these until the end of 2020. They seem comfortable, seem warm, and a friend of mine who owns a well-worn pair of this style loves hers.

Excellent pair of boots as my daughter lives upstate and it snows a lot. She loves the fit and they keep her feet warm and dry

Great boot for the cold snowy Vermont winters. A little big and bulky in the style department, but perfect for what I was looking for.

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!!!
