Customer Reviews SOREL Caribou™

I ordered these just in time for the wave of blizzards that hit the east coast and they were perfect! My feet were nice and toasty trudging through snow in -20 F temps. They fit true to size with the thick wool socks I wore with them. And as an added bonus, they are ridiculously cute and comfortable. As some other reviewers mentioned, they are a little bit heavier than the average boot, but that's to be expected with such a well-made and weather-proof boot. They sure made this first-time Sorel boot wearer a loyal customer!

These snow boots are so incredibly warm. They have heavy duty tread on the bottoms to get you through anything. The liner is removable making it easy to dry and clean. They make my feet look large, but that's the charm of snow gear!

I've been looking for a boot that doesn't leave me soaked after walking through the snow, as my hiking boots do, in the winter. After reading a number of the reviews on this site, I was concerned about these running too large and ordering too many sizes down. I am a 9 in heels and in sneakers, and prefer a wide fit for dress shoes. I ordered the regular women's 8 as soon as it became available, even though many recommended going down 2 sizes. The size 8 boot fits me just fine. A size 7 would be too small. I don't have any issue with the thickness of the liner, and I think if I did order the thicker one, as some other reviewers did, this might be too tight a fit with thick, wool socks. I'm very pleased with the sturdiness of the boot overall and its warmth, particularly after climbing over steep snow piles and enduring low single-digit temps this year. I'm hopeful these will last me for a lifetime.

I bought this boot for my Dad size 9. He was very surprised they fit him. He loves the boot and said "they are very warm and cozy" he is going to recommend the store to his friends. I will also recommend the store to my friends.

These boots are so wonderful in the Colorado winter. They have a nice grip, are weather proof, and they keep my feet nice and warm. I absolutely love them. After reading reviews, I went with a size smaller. I usually buy boots in an 8, but ordered a 7 and I am so thrilled I did. They fit perfectly. Yes, these boots are clunky and big, but they serve much more of a purpose than being "cute" or "trendy" ;) I highly recommend these boots in a size smaller. They're the best winter boots I've ever had!

I'm a size 8 but ordered a size 7 due to the reviews of it fitting a bit large. Perfect for the snow, easy to wash off the slush. Best snow boots i've purchased.

I bought these to wear casually on our skiing trip to Snowshoe and couldn't be more pleased! I had to buy a half-size larger than I needed, but with the inserts and thick socks, they fit perfectly. Our last day there, the temp. range was -8 to -42 and my feet were toasty and warm. I'm glad I spent a little more for the Sorels.

I was worried about ordering the women's sorel caribou boots online because I had read so many reviews saying order size larger or order size smaller and some said true to size. I took a gamble and ordered the size I normally wear, an 8,and they are perfect! They are a bit clunky but they're snow boots... They're supposed to be! They are exactly what I hoped for. I just wish I hadn't waited so long to decide to get them. They're worth every penny!

these boots keep my feet super warm in the snow. They are also very slip resistant. I am usually a size 8.5 but ordered an 8 and they fit perfectly. They are a little clunky feeling at first, but after a couple wears I'm used to them. Love the way they look, so happy I got them!

I live in Atlanta, so buying these boots seemed kind of silly at first. But then I had to go to Ohio for work and got stuck in six inches of snow and frigid cold. I couldn't have been happier with my purchase. These are GREAT boots.

I am glad I read the reviews and got a full size down. I usually wear a 7, but I went with the 6 and they fit perfectly. I think even with thick socks they will fit well. The shoes are really clunky and do make your feet look large, but they are really, really warm. Walking around in negative temperatures today and only my feet are warm. They took a few hours to be comfortable walking in because they are so heavy, but after that I think they are perfect for winter boots. Warm, cute, and waterproof.

When I first pulled these boots out of the box, my first impression was that they were very heavy and looked huge/clunky but when I slipped them on they fit like a glove and are very warm. They're super functional for what they're intended and look nice too.

These boots are the best, they arrived just intime for the large amount of snow Indiana received, my feet just love these boots. These boots will more then likely last the rest of my life. I love these boots

I bought these before my January trip to Quebec. I have never had a legit pair of snow boots before so when I first put them on I thought they looked so big! My husband said they looked good though so I went with it. I got them in the Cinnamon color and they really do look nice with the color contrasts. I wore them in -7 degrees walking through snow and my feet were so comfy and toasty warm. There was also a fair amount of ice on the sidewalks and I traversed it with no incidents because the grip on these is amazing. It took me a minute to figure out how the lip fits into the shoe before tying them but once I did, they were comfortable to walk in and snug around my ankles.

with record amounts of snow where I live in Massachusetts, I am not at all hesitant about getting out in the snow. I was before, to be sure, but not now. The boots arrived just in time for me to be able to do what I have to do, in the snow and the cold, and not worry about braving the elements.

this boot has a very young new look to the old classic sorel. I love it! i am normally a 10 bought a nine. a little snug to start but perfect after two or three days.

Eight years ago, I bought the Caribou style for work in Wisconsin as a lineman (plus the cinnamon color matched my work coat which was a plus)! I still wear them today for EVERY occasion and they're super comfortable, cute, warm, and waterproof. I highly recommend them!

Came back to Sorel after going without for a while glad to have them again wore my first pair for years on my trapline in Montana coldest those boots saw was 38 below zero and they did just fine the new ones seem every bit as good and I am glad to have them I expect they will last me for a long time again!! great for snowshoeing,hunting ect

Make sure you go down a 1/2 size!! They run slightly big. I wear a 6.5 to 7. I have the 6 and they're perfect!

During Minnesota winters we can experience below freezing temps, several feet of snow, and lots of ice. So far I have founds these boots to work perfectly in every type of weather. They are not only warm, and keep my feet dry in the deep snow, but they also have great traction on our ice covered roads and sidewalks. I would definitely recommend these boots to anyone looking!

I ordered these Caribou boots in Shale/Gray on Tuesday night and they were delivered to my home on Friday at 10 am. I used the fit chart since Arkansas doesn't have a Sorel Store. My foot measured 9in which is 22.86cm which means my foot is a 6. However, I know I need shoes bigger than my actual foot so I went up one size and purchased a 7 (all of the shoes in my closet are 7.5). I can't wait until my ski trip 2/24/2015 to Aspen to try them. They are heavy, but I expected that since the website states for heavy snow. I'm partial to Sorel because a good friend let me wear hers on last year's ski trip.

These boots are so warm and comfortable. It doesn't hurt that they are also extremely fashionable! I have gotten so many compliments on them. They are the heavy duty winter boots I needed. Worth the investment, I've only had them for a month or so but if they are the same quality as my other Sorel boots, they will last for years to come. I have all great things to say about Sorel boots.

I love the Caribou Boot! I would definitely recommend trying them on before purchasing. I wear a 10.5-11 shoe/sneaker but in the 11 I was swimmimg and even in the 10.5 I was pistoning up and down with every step. I finally worked my way down to a 10 when I went to the Sorrel store in Manhatten and found the right size, 10. Once again I love the boot!!! They are warm, fit well and look good too. I will definitely buy Sorrel again and recommend. Great product!!!!!!!

Good shipping time, fit true to size as advertised. Had to wait a couple of months to give them a good cold weather and snow test and they kept my feet warm and dry. Very pleased with my new boots!

Ordered these from another site because they sold out here, I ordered the Shale color. Alot of reviews are saying order a half to full size down, I normally wear a 6.5 in regular shoes and a 7 in boots and athletic shoes, since Sorel states they fit true to size size I ordered my normal size 7 and I'm glad I did, even a half size down would have been to small, my normal size 7 fit perfect, I recommend ordering your normal size. They are heavy duty serious snow boots therefore they are bulky so keep that in mind. They are a little heavy but that's too be expected in a serious snow boot. They are also wide in width from a style perspective but not from a wearing perspective. I have a narrow to medium width foot and with medium or thick socks on I had just a little room in the width left, not much therefore I don't consider them to be to wide at all, you need some room left for air to keep the feet warm, from a style point of view they do "look" very wide and clunky but I bought these for serious snow and not for style. They are not clunky or heavy enough to effect my walking in these, they are a little hard to drive in, that took some getting used to cause my foot didn't want to bend to push the petal. We were at 5 here for the high and my feet stayed warm and dry, they grip the snow really well and I did not slip or slide. I would highly recommend if you want a serious snow boot.
