I have had the opportunity to use these boots in -20 temps and -40 below with windchill and my feet have been warm and dry. I would recommend these to a friend! Plus, I know Sorel's last a long time in these conditions. I have no doubt I will be ordering more styles to get through these MN winters :)

So excited to receive these today! I was a little nervous on the sizing due to various reviews about the fit. I have read reviews that said to go a full size down, and others that somehow said they needed to go a full size up, so I was very confused as to what to do. I wear an 8.5 shoe and I ordered an 8 and they fit very well! I actually expected them to fit a bit more awkward based on the mixed reviews but they are so comfy and warm. I will mention that it does in fact seem like these boots run big and I definitely recommend ordering a half size down from your normal size. I still have some room in these (maybe due to my very narrow feet) but they aren't too big to where they are uncomfortable. It gives you the welcome option to layer up some socks on super cold days. I don't wanna jinx it...but now I'm ready for another Michigan snowstorm.

I love these Sorel boots! They are more stylish in black and white than they used to be. The tread on the bottom is very good in the snow and ice. They are warm and comfortable to boot! I highly recommend them.

The Sorel's are beyond the expectations of keeping the feet dry, warm and comfortable and are everything advertised to be. It is important to purchase the true size required for the comfort of walking and stability in weather conditions.

Your boots are excellent quality, warm in the winter and durable. I replaced a pair that I only wear in the snow and they lasted (27) years! (Do you think that I got my money's worth?)

20 years ago, I borrowed a pair of boots like this and since, have tried to find this exact pair. I don't know why, but I could never seem to find them, or when I did, they didn't have my size. However, on Christmas Day 2013, my beautiful wife--the love of my life relinquished this title by giving me these boots as a gift. I cried on Christmas Day because I was so happy to finally get the boots of my dreams. I am still waiting to wake up from this dream. A big snowstorm is expected to arrive tomorrow, so you can bet your sweet hiney I am going to be wearing the boots!
That was just a long way of saying, I LOVE these boots. They fit perfectly, they are warm, and I believe that without a doubt, they will always handle the snow and ice with complete ease.
I like to wear thick socks and these boots allow a perfect fit for such a thing. They are stiff, yet pliable that I can walk without looking like a robot. Giving me full confidence that their support will ever be unwavering.
Within reason, the rubber bottom grips ice and light snow very well. While caution is always required on such kind of footing, I found complete trust that I wouldn't be met with any surprising slips, or stumbles (unless I purposely or irresponsibly do so). The lacing is perfectly spaced up to the bottom of my calves, keeping me warm and comfortable.
I can't sing enough praises, these are most certainly the PERFECT pair of boots I've ever had. And I have gone through a lot of them. Plus, I truly believe I will never need to get a new pair for as long as I live in a cold, snowy climate.

I bought these for my 17 year old daughter and have borrowed them when I had to spend hours standing outside in 10 degree weather. My feet never got cold. They are somewhat clunky but serve the purpose of warmth and kept my feet dry.
I am a 5.5 and my daughter a size 6. I purchased them in a 5.5 and they fit my daughter perfectly.
Quality seems sturdy. We haven't owned them long enough to fairly comment on how they will hold up.

We are really pleased with these boots. The whole experience with Sorel was just great, from working with their online site thru the ordering and delivery process. I needed to get some advice on sizing and fit so I called Sorel, and the customer service person was just great. I'd certainly buy from them again without hesitation.

Comfortable, but a bit clunky. The clunky is a small trade-off for warm and dry which are high on the priority list.
These are my second pair and I only had to buy them because my feet outgrew the last 15 year old pair.
Excellent boots!

Bought these boots for a trip to Michigan where i knew the temperatures would be very cold, and my feet, which have become used to flip-flops these past 6 years, would need some help to keep warm. The Caribou boots did not disappoint me. Having owned Sorels back when i lived in Michigan, i was familiar with their quality and ruggedness. These features remain to this day. i spent a day walking over 5 miles in the woods and snowmobiling, and my feet were NEVER cold. Money well-spent, if anyone is hesitating due to the price. Love these boots and can't wait to go back up to play in the snow again.

Given as an early Christmas gift to my daughter this year because the forecast merited it, these Caribous have proven themselves, over the past 2 frigid snow and ice weeks, to make winter treks home both safe and pleasurable. The tread works on an uphill mile to her house; the insulation works in below zero temps. She expects to love wearing them for 20 years. Thanks Sorel!

I received a pair of these as a gift for my 13th birthday in 1986. I recently turned 40, and these remain the only winter boots I've had during that time. I've replaced the liners once, about 12 years ago, but other than that there are literally no quality issues, not even so much as a single frayed thread.
I have some tread wear on the heels and a little bit of wear on the leather because my ankles rub together.
I've lived in Colorado my entire life and I wear these boots every time it snows. Maybe the rubber doesn't shine like it used to, and the leather has some wrinkles to it, but they're as warm and as waterproof as the day I got them.
I wish more outdoor gear had this kind of durability.

I have had sorel boots for the past 40 years and your standards are just as good now as they were way back when. In the next few days the temp is going down to -14 I will only go outside to if I have on sorels. These boots are the best ever.

Just used these for the first time during the big snow storm that started on New Years day 2014, the one that had -0 temps and lower across the Midwestern and Northeastern United States. Really glad I had them, made shoveling the driveway a lot more comfortable then it would have been without them for sure. I like that they fit a little big with plenty of extra space, I have Sasquatch feet and with these boots I have plenty of room for a pair of thick wool socks with enough room that I could easily wear a second pair, and I also really like the new updated look of the black on black with beige trim. These are the second pair of Sorel boots I've owned, the first pair I bought about 20 years ago when I was in my early 20's now I'm in my early 40's and these new boots fit exactly like the first pair did, if these last as long as the first ones did, I'll be in my 60's when they need to be replaced!

I recently purchased a pair of Sorel Caribou Boots. This is my third pair of similar Sorel boots in 34 years. I have lived in CO, WNY, and NE Ohio these many years. I wear my Sorels all winter and drive any of my three manual cars with these, no problem. I am a treestand crossbow hunter and depend on the these for comfort. The Caribou soles are superior to any of my older models as they have the best traction in snow and on floor surfaces. We average 14 to 20 feet of snow here in NE Ohio and even bought my wife a pair; great products, the ONLY winter boot!

Overall I love the boots! I live in Boston area and I have dogs so I'm out walking every day. The boots have great traction and keep my feet very warm.
They are larger sized, I normally wear a size 10 and order a 9.5, probably could have used the 9 but kept the 9.5 for thicker socks.
