These do not keep your feet warm and seem to just keep the cold coming up right through the sole. I got these a few years ago and they never really kept my feet that warm, but I wanted to like them. Now that my daughter is older and we are playing in the snow a lot more my feet get so cold. I did get a hold of the company to ask about it and they said I should try thicker socks.

Bought it for my husband. Second pair that I bought for him. He loves it. He works outside. Keep his feet dry and warm. Fits perfect.

Did you decide at the last minute to fly to Iceland or Norway to see the Northern Lights?Now you need a really good pair of boots to keep you warm as well as fashionable. The Sorel Caribou boot is the answer. They keep your feet toasty, dry and comfortable in snowy or rocky terrain. Go dogsledding, too. Later, you can walk around town with relative ease.

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

I bought these boots for a trip to Norway where I would be wearing them in a lot of snow and ice. As mentioned in another review, they are slippery on ice. I slid backwards down an icy sidewalk & luckily was stopped by the person behind me. I stood outside from 6-10 hours, (looking for northern lights), & they were warm enough wearing 3 pairs of socks & they are definitely waterproof, but the size & lack of grip made them hard to walk in. Overall I wasn't satisfied & would not recommend.

Great boots.... If you live in cold climates,I highly recommend the Caribou. Well built, as always, unsuppressed quality. If you're gonna get these boots, I recommend purchasing from the manufacturer only. Lots of knock offs on other sites, old models and designs etc. Thank you Sorel!!!! You can get away with 1/2 size smaller if desired. I wear thick socks with mine in the snow.

The first time I wore these boots was for several hours around inside our house. They were comfortable from the beginning. Once we had a few inches of snow I went out and walked a mile in these boots. Again very comfortable and they kept my feet warm and dry:) Construction looks to be excellent. I bought a half size larger than I usually would in boots to allow the wearing of thick socks when needed. Very happy so far.

I needed a good boot for my Sunday Ski Patrol duty. These boots are great. The sole grips really well on snow and ice. I would recommend these boots to anyone for sure.

I absolutely love these boots. I live in the upper Midwest so we get a lot of snow and cold. These boots keep my feet warm and dry while shoveling and while snowmobiling. I ordered my true shoe size because of other reviews but would probably order a half size up next time so I could wear a little thicker sock. They look awesome too.

I slipped and broke my tailbone during the first ice storm this winter. Bought these Caribou boots and do not feel scared about walking outside at all. They're heavy with great grip on the bottom. I did order what size I usually wear, but found them to be a size too big. A super easy return process and got a pair that fits!

I liked the look of this boot, but I couldn't find the right size. I've never owned Sorels before, so I didn't have anything to compare it to. I'm usually a 8-8.5. The 8.5 was enormous--it felt like I could go a full size smaller. The 7.5 was okay lengthwise, but too tight across the top of the foot. The 8 was okay, except too long and still a little tight across the top. I ended up returning all the Caribous and went with the Sorel Winter Carnival boot in an 8.

These boots absolutely do their job - they are extremely warm and have great grips on the bottom. So they are a great winter/snow boot. The only reason I can't give them 5 stars is because they are really heavy. I wish they were slightly lighter and then they would be perfect.

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 bought these for my teenage daughter who is always a 7.5. Her foot was swimming in the boot. She wanted a size 7 but it wasn't available, so she ordered/tried a size 6.5. Unfortunately that one was not quite big enough for thick winter socks. Maybe size down a half size.

I gave these as a Christmas gift. These boots have split along the sides near the bottom and leak. I would like to return these for a refund and buy a different pair from Sorel.
I'd also recommend:
I have a pair of Sorel boots I bought over 40 years ago. I don't use them as much now, but this week I have worn them 3 days in snow - still warm and waterproof.
Thanks in advance e for your consideration.

These boots keep my feet warm as I run errands in the day and hiking through the woods in -10F weather, and feet of snow. I usually wear a 7.5 in boots, but needed a 7 in these. They run a little bigger than your regular shoe. Overall it's a great product and I look forward to my afternoon snowy hikes now that I know my feet will be warm the whole time.

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.

I am normally a size 9 for shoes, but I ended up preferring a size 10. I like to have a little extra room when it comes to winter boots for thicker socks. It's a very stylish winter boot. A little chunky for my taste so I exchanged for Tofino II size 10.Good quality and comfortable though.

After seeing a similar pair of boots on a Hallmark Christmas Movie (Yes! Lol), I found this equivalent. But these are actually even better! They will keep your feet toasty warm and they are so cute with a pair of black leggings & a cute sweater! Some reviews mention that they are heavy. When I first put them on, I noticed a difference - sure, compared to my other shoes. But after a few test runs, you get used to them and don't even notice it. I would definitely recommend these not only from a practical/functional standpoint but a stylish one as well. Enjoy!

I bought these Caribou's as a replacement for my previous pair that are 12 years old and completely worn out since I wear them every single day during our 4/5 months of winter. I got great use out of my old pair and was happy to see that the new ones are just as well made and comfortable as the old. I will warn buyers that they are a bit tight at first and they take a few days to loosen up and break-in but once the do, your feet will stay toasty warm and you won't be slipping on ice as easily as you would with many of the other common winter boots.
I normally wear a 6.5 but ordered a 7 because I wear thicker boot socks.

I have the Sorel duck boots in an 8.5 so when i bought these, i expected them to fit the same. They were 1 full size too large.
They are a bit heavier than i would like but the joan of Arcs are too tall. i wish there was a lighter Caribou available. I had to swap them and pay to ship them back and forth.
