Customer Reviews SOREL Caribou™

My first caribou boots have been working for twenty five years! putting them through heavy use in snow and on ice. Quality, hardworking boot I'd say! Just got a new pair after all this time and look forward to another impressive run.

Great quality boot, but only for 3 years with around 14 days use per year. Rubber around top of foot now cracking and allowing cold air,snow and water to enter. Tread is near pristine, with minimal amount of use. 1 year warranty for a premium product with premium price is very poor.

If you venture out where your life is on the menu by mother nature you must have this boot. A moderate operator will only attain moderate performance with premium equipment and a skilled operator will attain the best available performance of moderate equipment. When you need premium performance out of your equipment to match your skills when your life is out there you need this boot to attain that level of performance.

I bought my Sorel Caribou's in 1988. Spent two winters wearing them every day, and 10days/year since. These boots are fantastic. Kept the feet really warm and dry throughout the harshest weather that winter could throw at them and they are still going strong. Highly recommend them to any buyer looking for a serious snow boot.

I bought these shoes, because my feet are very cold. Hoped for the Canadian roots of the brand. But for the second winter the rubber part of the shoes cracked! And they no longer hold the heat and worse, they began to leak! I did not expect this from Sorel! Waste of money! It is natural that as with a guarantee it is not clear! Extremely do not recommend these shoes, if you do not want to freeze your legs! I hope my review will help you make the right choice.

These ran huge on me. They also felt like they would be slippery on icy sidewalks. These might be cute for apres ski, but not really practical for daily use. I returned them.

I got these boots just in time for a storm and they kept my feet warm and dry. I love them! I have narrow feet, so these boots fit pretty wide. While thicker socks definitely help, I couldn't seem to get the laces tight enough. Certainly not a deal breaker though. The length was true to size.

SO I first bought the Womens Joan of Artic book and they were wayyyyyy to heavy/big/bulky for me. I was very pleased when I received this pair. VERY VERY comfortable and cute! Would definitely recommend this boot.

Hands-down, these are the best boots for cold weather.

Kept feet very warm but very bulky and hard to walk in.

Snow Boot is warm, durable and comfortable. Runs large and wide. Boot is sitting on a 1/2 inch platform and very stable footing. Ankle to calf is leather upper, has a removable lining with warm wool faux cuff. Purchased one pair for me and one for my daughter who loves hers also.

I like the look and they're warm, but they're clunky. It was hard to walk our normal 1 mile evening walk because I felt like the laces were too thin to tie up tightly enough. Too tight and it cut off circulation, but too loose and my foot slipped. Maybe they just need to be broken in... Definitely awkward to walk in though.

I have about 50 pair of them and use them for snowshoeing trips. Warm, comfortable, easy to get on and off, and very, very durable. I've had other boots, but none hold up like the Caribou. I don't use them to drive. They're too big for that.

Bought these to take on a ski/snowmobile/dogsled/snowshoe trip to Big Sky. First impressions: durable, great traction, relatively light, warm! Wore merino wool boot socks and they fit true to size. Like the color and the classic style. Seem like they could handle quite a bit of abuse and would hold up well! Love them!

Awesome boots, sorel quality.

I have always loved Sorel's. They are made to be able to get out there in the worst weather. I could have used a half size large to accommodate thicker socks. But don't be mistaken the size was true to my foot size.

I bought these two years ago and I wore the heck out of them. Ordering them again because they got stolen out of my truck. Perfect if you're outdoorsy-- ice fishing, snow shoeing, perfect for before and after skiing because they come on and off easy, hold their shape, and still cute! Other reviews are saying they are too bulky and I agree they are bulky if you are looking for something lighter but if you need something that will make your feet nice and toasty during snow activities, they are worth the money x10! I'm usually a 7.5 and fit in a 7 with normal snow socks

Boots came with a inch and a half hole between the sole and boot bottom.

I have owned a pair of caribou boots for several years and am ordering another pair since my basset hounds seems to love them as much as I do! They do run large and they have a very roomy toe but that allows for lots of toe movement and circulation. I also find that they are really easy to slip in and out of and sometimes I wear them without any socks because they are amazingly warm! They are quite heavy and can feel clunky initially but they are so sturdy and warm and have the best traction. I like the classic styling and the clunkiness adds to the feeling of "this is a serious winter boot". I can walk all day in them too! Very comfortable. I live on the North Shore of MA where we get quite of bit of snow as well as 20-30 degree temps often. I normally take a size 8 1/2 to 9 in a boot and these fit me well at a size 8 with plenty of toe wiggle room.

These boots are only suitable for some one with extra wide feet, big chubby ankles and extremely thick calves.
