Customer Reviews SOREL Caribou™

Just wanted to share my dad's story- he's 92 and we just ordered new liners for his Caribous. I asked how many liners he's been through because I remember these boots from when I lived at home. He got to thinking and figured out he got his boots in 1978! He said cold feet made a hunting trip miserable so he stretched his budget to get Caribous and "fell deeply in love" with them (his words). He lived in Illinois and Wisconsin for years with them and still wears them in Nebraska. The uppers and rubber are in great condition and he's still deeply in love. I thought if any product deserves a rave review this is it!

These boots are great for my son. I am disappointed in Sorel for no longer focusing on warm boots, but only cute boots. Sorel used to focus on both. Even Uggs lists their temp rating clearly like Sorel USED to and have far more options. Last winter I needed new lining for my boots and had to wait over a year for you to have it back in stock.

My last pair of Sorel Caribou boots where purchased in the early 1990's. I am confident my new pair are to last as long or longer. I can't say enough about the quality and durability. BTW, I am keeping my old boots and plan to fix them up enough to wear again next winter. 2 thumbs up!!!!!

Always wanted a pair and finally bought them. Very comfortable and protects my feet outside in snow.

Perfect boots for snow country !! Tried on other makes. Not even close

I had these great boots only in smaller size 50 years ago! I wore them in Wisconsin and then here in Washington when we got snow in the Seattle area and to the mountains to play in the snow. I bought new liners, but they were too small, and the tread was wearing down. I was happy to get my new boots this December! They fit perfectly and are so warm! They will last for me as long as I shall live!

these are a great winter boot they keep all of us at Apple Heating and cooling cozy and comfortable through the winter months I have been wearing mine for 5 years and they're still in great shape provide them for all of my staff and never have any complaints of cold feet shout out to a product well made

I bought these 3 yes ago & I love them. I won't buy any other brand than Sorel. I bought my first pair in 1970. I wore them until 2005. Someone else wore them & they were stained with some black stuff & the bottom tread was very smooth making them slippery for walking in snow. They were tall & white. Kind of a nylon/canvas type material. I even remember where I bought them. My feet were always warm even without socks on. I walked 15 miles in -54 windchill & my feet were toasty warm.

My first pair of caribou's I bought in Alaska lasted me over 34 years, even though I've tried to destroy them on occasion. They took a direct hit from an axe that bounced off a frozen log I was chopping for the fire. Cut through the rubber bottom at the toes, but the liner stopped the axe, good thing for me as I was on a remote island in Prince William Sound, with transport off for a week. I've gone through so many liners that at last I could not get Sorel liners anymore in Alaska, so the boot became part time where and I switched to my Sorel Glacier's. But this last spring as I was driving through Canada, I stopped at a well know retailer and low and behold I found my new "bou's"! Hopefully they will last as long as my first pair!

I love SOREL Caribou boots. Plural because three pairs of boots have taken me through three decades. I've replaced multiple boot inserts with the furry tops that slip into the main leather boot, but the boots carry on. My first pair kept my feet toasty through a Colorado high country winter near Vail. My brother told me I needed SOREL boots because they would keep my feet warm and dry. And because that's what the locals wore in that mountain town in below-zero temps. At 40 below, I breathed through a wool scarf to filter the cold as I walked to work a short quarter-mile downhill, glad my feet were warm (ya cannot start a truck in that cold--oil is too thick). The second pair got me through snows in Nevada in the shadow of the Carson and Sierra Nevada mountains near Lake Tahoe. I slogged through the small stables behind my cousin's Reno home and threw hay to her horses. Adventures followed in snow and mud and muck and desert washes. By the third pair, I'd moved back to Utah along the Wasatch range, and my feet were warm while standing on a sheet of packed snow and ice all day loading beginners on a ski lift for one winter. And through city storms and country miles in Southern Utah and then three winters in a tiny town called Santaquin where I freelance edited online for ad agencies and scattered birdseed for wild birds after packing down snow underneath the feeders. And now it's time for the fourth pair. Wonder what I will do in this new decade, in my new boots with their clean new inserts, with new dreams. One thing I know. My feet will be warm and dry.
