Easy to get foot in and out. Comfortable. Good soles to decrease slipping. Haven’t tested them in extreme cold yet, but Sorels have kept my feet warm for decades.

These were amazing, although not for what I needed.
They are a little stiff through the ankles which I’m sure softens over time but they were a little too bulky for me to use as an everyday shoe!
But if I ever need a pair of snow shoes these will be them! Totally waterproof too!

QUALITY CONTROL ISSUES!!! Beware, the sizing on these boots is EXTREMELY INCONSISTENT! I have had a pair Sorel Caribou Boots since the early 2000's and the rubber sole finally cracked last year. Having been super happy with these boots up until now, I ordered a new pair in my same size 10 as before (very roomy, could accommodate thick socks or 2 pair of thinner socks easily) . The 10's arrived and were SO tight that I could barely get my foot into the boot. I was very disappointed but thought that the overall sizing might have changed since my first purchase so long ago. So, to be safe, I re-ordered the boots in both sizes 10.5 and 11. At this point, I wasn't even sure the 11 would fit, based on how tight the 10 was. They arrived and I tried both on with a normal - thin sock. The 10.5 fit like my old size 10 boots but the 11 was TOO TIGHT?! When I held the 10.5 & 11 bottom to bottom, the 11 was actually smaller. Sorel has always been the brand for winter boots for me but this lack of quality control is super annoying and unacceptable. Get it together Sorel.

It is larger than other many brands, wider and too heavy.

THESE DO NOT RUN BIG!! It actually infuriates me that Sorel suggests you size down. If anything, go up 1/2 a size. I wear an 8.5. I ordered an 8.5. I need a 9. Sorel never exchanged them for me! If theyre going to suggest you size down, at the very least offer an easy exchange program. They make you return them, and then purchase them again. I bought them on sale, so I would have had to reorder at a higher price. They sit unworn & useless in my closet. Size up!!! Read other reviews. They tell you the same thing. Sorel, do better!!!

These boots are the real deal for cold weather locations! The thick felt liners and thick soles keep my feet really warm. The bottom tread seems to make walking on icy surfaces safer. Overall, I love these boots!

Within a week of purchasing these, the liner was wearing through in several places. Waterproofing claims are a joke, as are the temperature ratings: even in single digits, my feet were cold.
Sorel customer service told me there was nothing they could do about this. Save your money - this product is garbage.

This is the third pair of these boots over the years. I wear them a lot, snowshoeing, walking the dog, shoveling and running errands, when the conditions require it. The last pair lasted me over 20 years. So I didn't even look elsewhere.

These boots are humongous. I thought there had been a mistake and I was sent mens boots, because theyre are womens 8.5 yet almost the same size as my husbands size 9 military issue boots. The inside says womens 8.5 and so does the box. Returns are not free even though they are not using any sort of reasonable sizing. What kind of socks do you think people are going to wear that will make these fit?!

Best rugged, comfort designed boot I've ever worn. I may be able to postpone both ankle joint replacements indefinitely.

This is the second pair of Sorel Caribou Boots I have purchased. The first one was in 1983. They lasted over 40 years! They moved with me from Montana to Colorado, to South Africa, to Wisconsin, to Texas and back to Colorado. Talk about quality, endurance, warmth, comfort and performance. I'll never have to buy another pair... if these last 40 years ... unless I live to be 100. Excellent product! Well done Sorel.

The finest pair of winter boots I own for winters here in Alaska. Very warm, waterproof and the most comfortable and durable.

Very comfortable and warm. Exactly what I was looking for. They are a little heavy but the weight is worth the overall fit.

I've owned two pair of Caribou. SOREL changed this style--increasing the diameter of the felt liner (the ends meet at the laces) and narrowing the ankle circumference (where the shaft meets the arch) making it difficult to insert a pointed toe foot into the boot--unless one has a very narrow foot. A shoe repairman found it faulty as well, as he couldn't even get his hand inside the boot. SOREL, please modify my favorite boot!
