Customer Reviews SOREL Caribou™

Purchased the boots recently and used them during TWO recent snow storms. Very happy with the boots.

I love the boots. They are warm and durable. The only thing about them is that they are very chunky and heavy. This is how most heavy duty winter boots are so there is not much you can do in that department.

I replaced my old pair,25 yeas old. They are just what I expected from Sorel. Fit was right on. Quality of the boot is excellent. Perfect -20 weather boot Thanks Sorel!!

This isn't your stylish walk around the city boot, this is your I'm going snowmobiling, ice fishing, sledding boot. It does run quite large. I am normally an 8, but ordered an 8.5 to be safe and probably would have been fine with an 7.5/8. My husband can wear my boot with just it being slightly snug on him and he is a 9. These are kind of heavy, but they are VERY WARM and comfortable. I have worn them in deep snow, on the ice, on a snowmobile and my feet never once got a bit cold and only had on one pair of wool blended socks. When my husband wears them he can only wear a normal cotton sock in them and his feet still stay very warm and dry. Highly recommended!!

I am so happy with my new boots! When I first put them on, I thought I could have gone a 1/2 size smaller, but after wearing them all day, I am not 100% sure that was needed. Wore my boots all day this Saturday after a snow storm (I live in KS) and my feet were so warm and I did not slip once! I felt so safe! It takes a little bit to get used to the size of the boot as with any snow boot. But I am 100% satisfied with my purchase. I will definitely buy more Sorels in the future. Not because I think my boots will ever wear out, but just to have some options--it is a beautiful, high quality boot.

bought these for my husband... comfortable fit and nice looking... a bit chunky looking but easy to overlook

Live in the Maryland, got boots in time for the extreme weather. Very warm feet due to these boots. I am extremely pleased and would recommend them to all. Thanks Sorel

These are my first pair of Sorel boots and I am extremely happy with my purchase. The grey/shale color is stylish looking and they are incredibly warm. I have even worn them a few times without socks in cold, snowy New England and my feet stayed nice and toasty. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for serious winter boots that look cute too.

The Caribou Boot is true to size and warm and toasty as advertised. Takes a little bit of time to get into them with the inserts but once in, truly a great boot.

I bought the Caribou snow boots and used them while ice fishing and snowmobile riding. They are very comfortable and kept my feet warm and dry all day out on the ice.

its a little hard to get your foot in and our with the thick liner but other than that all positive things to say!!!

I bought these boots to replace my 25 year old Sorel boots. I could not count the number of days that my old boots kept my feet warm and dry. The new boots look a little different, but retain the same quality look and rugged feel. I've only worn them a few times, but spent quite a few hours last week outside in 10 degree temps and my feet were toasty and dry.

Chi-beria (aka Chicago) you have met your match with the Caribout - hah - 3 hours of snow shoveling - not a problem, toastie tootsies the entire time. These Christmas Gift Boots came in the nick of time and I can't be happier. Lily

I purchased these boot for my 19 year old daughter who attends college in Ithaca, New York. She needed boots which are waterproof, well insulated and offered excellent traction in snowy & icy conditions. The Caribou Boot keeps her feet warm and dry, and provide excellent traction on moderately hilly, snow covered terrain. And they look great! These boots exceeded her expectations. As previously noted, the inner liner does fit snugly. This has not been a problem for my daughter as the boots are not put on and taken off repeatedly during the day. Further, the fit has relaxed a bit with use.

Great product. Extremely warm, love the ability to replace the liner if needed. Nothing to improve upon. Great, great boot. As with most heavy duty winter boots, they do fit a little big but that allows for extra layers of wool socks.

Ordered size 8 for my wife ..Too small,had to return for size 9... fit perfect...runs small.... Otherwise excellent boot....

great product,great delivery,great return policy,very satisfied

Sitting in deer blind your feet won't get cold.

I bought these boots for my husband because of the many fabulous ratings after he told me that he was freezing in the boots his job priovided. My husband works for the park service in Philadelphia & we've been hit with a couple snowstorms this winter. These boots keep him absolutely warm.

-40 wind chill tonight and my feet are toasty warm!!

With it being late in the winter season, I could not find stock anywhere locally so I had to order these boots. Being skeptical of ordering footwear online, I was pleasantly surprised that the fit was just fine. I have always had great luck with the Sorel brand and see no reason while that will not continue with this pair of boots.

My very old (non-Sorel) boots literally fell apart, so it was time to invest in something quality. I normally wear a size 9.5 in sneakers, 9 in all other shoes. Since the 9.5 was not available, I ordered the women's 10, figuring it would probably fit with thick socks. The inner boot actually fits just right with regular socks, but since I'm not normally a size 10 in any shoes, I'm rating it slightly small -- if I had bought the 9.5, I'm sure it would have been too small. The boot itself is very heavy, and actually kind of huge. It has a big 8 printed on the inside, like it's a men's size 8 with a women's insert, rather than a true women's 10, and it's extremely roomy and wide around the toes (wider than my husband's big Timberland boots). Even though I paid for overnight shipping, I didn't get them for a week, which was extremely frustrating with the whole polar vortex thing upon us. But the boots themselves are great, so I'm still rating them a 5.

I never thought I would need boots this heavy-duty, but after moving to Chicagoland, and dealing with the slushy sidewalks and cold snaps, I realized just how perfect they are. They are as warm as they claim to be, and comfortable all around. The soles have great traction, too, so there are no worries about slipping, sliding, or busting myself up in a fall. My only warning is for ladies with wider calves like me: while they will fit, they may be a little snug. Nowhere near uncomfortable, just snug.

These are beautifully made, expensive looking boots. They are VERY warm and meant for serious winter days. From a fashion perspective, they are trendy and cute with pants tucked in or with pants over boot. I love wearing them! They are TRUE TO SIZE if you want to wear a sock and/ or possibly an orthotic which I wear sometimes. I bought a size 9 and wear an 8.5 shoe and am happy with the size. The ONLY negative is the weight of each boot. They are heavy, serious boots. These are NOT UGGS! They are stylish REAL winter boots. They are NOT for bopping around the city as a fashion statement due to their weight. I wear my high leather boots for fashion around the city and these SORELS when I want to be warm and cozy AND look good! Good luck!:)

This is my second pair. I "outgrew" my first pair after 15 years. They were not even close to being worn out! A great feel and reliable boot. I tie them loose enough to slip on and off when I need them. Lifelong fan!
