Customer Reviews SOREL Caribou™

I normally wear a size 9...across the board. I'm rarely a different size in any shoe. So, I ordered a size 9 in these and they are enormous. They feel at least a size and a half larger. The boots are warm and waterproof which is exactly what I was looking for in this boot. They are well made and super durable.

Cozy, warm and great for the winter! Fantastic customer service!!

This is my second pair of Sorel winter boots First I love that they fit my feet. I have had a bunion for years. It's a nightmare buying any type of footwear. I can wear your boots for hours without any pain and discomfort! Second - they keep my toes and entire foot warm and dry the entire time I am outside. We've had over 15 in of snow this year. My socks stay dry whether I'm out walking or using the snow blower. I do wish they had a pair of clasp at the top to help tighten like my last pair. It does take a little bit to get use to their weight. But I keep the weight of the boots for the excellent traction, warmth and dry socks.

I love these boots. They have a thick wool lining. They are stable on both ice and snow, good to 40 degrees below. Your feet will never be cold in these boots.

These are true to size and very warm. We just had a big snow storm in MI and I was happy to have these. I used them while shoveling almost a foot of snow and they kept my feet dry and warm.

I live in Russia ... and I can say with confidence - these boots are best for the Russian winter! We've got a national winter shoes made of felt wool, called "valienki", but they are somewhat outdated and banter look at the present, but Sorel Caribou is very appropriate for all their heat and is waterproof!

I'm not sure if the size was marked wrong, but I ordered a women's 8 and they are GIGANTIC! They seem like a men's 8 but the receipt and box say women's. They are great quality and seem warm and durable, however, I will be exchanging them for a sleeker, less heavy boot and hopefully it will be true to size.

These are a good boot for snow, cold temperatures. They are a very heavy duty boot. They also run VERY large. I ordered my normal size 7.5 thinking that they may even be small when wearing a thick sock... in fact they were huge even with a thick sock. I would order 0.5-1 size down from what you normally wear

My Sorel's fit true to size, they were warm but a lil heavy(in which I already knew before purchasing them). We only got a few inches of snow here in NY today but I just had to put them on. I just love them.

The good thing about these boots is, they are huge! When I wear this I am fearless in the snow. The downside about these boots is still, they are huge....and heavy, I keep another pair of sneaker in my car because I feel I won't be able to control the pedals with those boots. I would recommend these if you are going to walk outdoor when it's snow & after snow

So these are great boots,for the snow & keep your feet warm. They are definitely a clunky boot made for a lot of snow so,if you're looking for something more stylish for light snow I would go with a different Sorel boot. The sizing is off in this boot. I usually wear a size 7 in almost every shoe or boot but the 7 in these was HUGE. I ordered down a full size and they were too small. I could get my foot in the boot but my toes were squished against the front and getting the boot off was a nightmare. Ultimately I ended up getting a 6.5. The boots are still a bit roomy and I can wear very thick socks. At first I felt unsure keeping these but now in the Maine winter and with negative temperatures I've fallen in love with them!

I ordered these after reading other reviews. Normally wear size 7.5 but ordered 6.5 and they fit well with socks. I wore these on a frigid, wet day and my feet stayed dry and very warm. They seem bulky when you put them on but they are easy to walk in and easily adjust to. I love them think they are great value.

They were an early Christmas gift for my son. He said, "they are the best boots I've ever had", and he lives in the snowbelt!

After much research, I purchased this boot because it had great reviews for its cold weather capabilities, being both waterproof and able to keep your feet warm in cold temps. So far, I am very happy with these features. I live in the mountains of Colorado and we get a lot of snow and can definitely get cold temperatures. There's been a spell this December where our temperature stayed within the single digits and my feet (even when outside shoveling) were nice and toasty in these boots day in and day out. They're very comfortable, although a bit clunky. But that is what I expected from the reviews - these aren't dainty little boots. They're big snow boots to keep your feet warm and dry. I think they still have a cute style as far as snow boots go, but they are definitely on the heftier side. My only complaint would be that I think they do run large (if it wasn't for that, this would be a 5 start review). I am usually between a 7-7.5 and saw on the previous reviews that they run big, so opted for the 7 for that reason. Even with the 7, they still seem too large for me. That really surprised me because I NEVER am a 6.5 shoe size. With this shoe I probably could've gotten away with a 6.5. And I even had my husband measure out my foot like Sorel recommended to make sure I purchased the right size since so many people seemed to have sizing issues with this shoe. It still wasn't accurate. Sorel needs to reevaluate their sizing of this boot, in my opinion. The 7 is too large in length and in width for me. I wasn't sure at first and thought maybe I just didn't have my thicker winter socks on, but after taking the boots out on walks and shoveling, I'm realizing (too late :( to exchange) that I would have been better off with a 6.5. Overall, great boot, well made, lives up to what it promises with warmth and water proof, good sole with nice traction. Only issue is the sizing. If Sorel fixes that problem, they'd be the perfect winter boot!

My feet measure 26cm, which according to the size guide and the fact that reviewers rated these boots "true to size", means I should have ordered a size 9. I decided to order a size 8.5, since some reviews suggested going down a half size. There is at least an inch between my toes and the end of the boot, even with heavy wool socks on. They are extremely wide, and there is a lot of room between the top of my foot and the boot. They look like they're designed for men. Customer service suggested I order a size 7 (two whole sizes down from my measured size), but I'm not willing to risk the cost of return shipping again. I don't even think a smaller size would fix the sizing issues with these boots.

These boots are amazing. I've lived in Chicago my whole life and so far these are the only ones that can handle our winters. They are super warm and the bottoms of the boots are like cleats. Today I had to walk over several blocks of thick ice to get to work and didn't slip once. They are a bit clunky and definitely do run big (I usually get an 8.5 for boots but got these in an 8 and they are still very roomy) so don't size up. I wish they had the alternate lining in stock that doesn't have the fur on it because I'm not a fan of the fur but they are otherwise amazing.

The sizing is slightly too large, however the boot is still excellent in craftmanship and quality. I do have a problem with the boot being too good in regards to warmth. I can't wear them indoors for too long, but it will be great for the deep snow.

Great boots -- so warm and comfortable. Fit is true to size. Bought them for an upcoming hiking trip in Iceland. Can't wait to wear them!

When I was researching these boots it seemed like half of the reviews said they were true to size and half said they were too large. I even used Sorel's measuring instructions which told me to order a size 8which is my regular size. Well.these are WAY too big. I'm super bummed. They are chunky boots as it is, and I look like a clown since they are too big. Also, it doesn't matter if you wear thick socks, because your feet go in the insert, not the actual boot. I gave them 4 stars because I love everything else about them. My advice is to size down.

Run very large and are very heavy.
