Customer Reviews SOREL Caribou™

I have had my Caribou boots for over 20 years now. I got them while I was living in Seattle, because back in the day snowboard binding took these types of boots. I have kept them over the years and after living in Chicago for over 15 years now they are still my go to boots for heavy snow over my North Face ones. These boots last FOREVER and I have noticed a HUGE comeback in the brand. It seems like I have been ahead of the trend for a very long time.

I bought these for my daughter, who needed something warm and waterproof for getting around campus. I ordered 1/2 size larger after reading some of the other revieiws. They arrived right on time, in 3 days and right before some -8 to -10 degree weather. She is thrilled, her feet are finally warm and dry, Funky look!

Bought these boots for my nephew just in time for the big LI storm! Said they kept his feet toasty warm as he shoveled away! And he looked good doing it! My driveway is ready for the next blizzard. Told him I got my Caribou's before he was born- and he's now a sophomore in high school! He did the math and realized he has many years of shoveling in them ahead!!! Great product.

Top quality, design and overall a great product. Keeps you warm and they are soooo nice!

The boots are great! I've ordered them for years. I always order replacement liners to get a better fit. The replacement liners are twice as thick, and have a pocket in the bottom for foot warmers if you want to use them. The boots seem to run about a 1/2 size larger without the replacement liners.

Two weeks ago, I wanted the buff color (above), but there was a huge storm over a lot of the northern part of the country and the colors and sizes were low. I ordered a 7 in slate, but it was too small and I just returned it a few days ago. I generally take a 7 or a 7 and 1/2 shoe. Meanwhile, the sizes and colors were restocked, and I ordered a size 8 Caribou in the buff (above) and it arrived today, in time for more shoveling. I took a walk to the store 1/2 mile each way and wore it the rest of the day, driving and shoveling. Very comfortable. The 8 fits very well and I will get a lot of use out of these. Whenever I mention the Sorel Caribou to someone, they know of it and said it is their all-time favorite boot, too.

I remember these boots from the 70's. I didn't have a pair but envied friends that did. I have RA and my feet are very sensitive to the cold. Well they haven't been cold since I got these. They are kind of wide and clunky but wonderfull.

I Love my Sorels!!! I live in North New Jersey and for the last couple of weeks we had 2 snow storms. Needless to say that I shoveled, played in the snow and my toes stayed warm and toasty. I'm a size 6 1/2 to 7 I ordered them in size 6 and they feel very comfortable. They are my favorite boots so far. I know they will last a long time! I can't wait to go to my inlaws (they live in Maine) to show them off!

Got my boots after getting a pair for my wife for Christmas since she raved about hers. Love the felt liners...can't beat them for comfort and warmth. Only complaint is that I wish they came in half sizes...I'm an 11 1/2 and had to go with a 12, so they're a little big on me.

I got these boots a few weeks ago and have worn them out and about in the recent midwestern snowstorms as well as in the mountains of Colorado. They've kept my feet warm and dry, and I've been very pleased with them. Driving with them takes some getting used to, but it's not too bad. And they do run a bit big. I usually wear a 7.5, so I ordered a size 7. They fit great with heavy socks, but with normal socks, they're a tiny bit big. Overall, they're exactly what I was looking for in a boot, and I would strongly recommend them!

My first pair of caribou boots were purchased 20 years ago. I replaced the liners twice throughout that time. I am just now getting my second pair even though my first pair still has life left in it. I have never been disappointed in any type of weather when using these boots. Living in Michigan, they are perfect!

The Caribou boots are warm and wonderful, as we might expect from Sorel--Sorels are awseome. Be sure to order your regular size! I ordered a size smaller after reading numerous reviews. I sometimes take a 5 1/2 in a shoe so ordered a 5 instead of a 6. Big mistake. I take a six in these as I always do in a boot (and in some shoes). True-to-size!!!

I have recently purchased the black Caribou for myself and have more than enjoyed trolling around inside and out with them. They are slightly large due to ms really being a 6.5 and these only run in whole sizes. I originally found these boots because my mother in law had purchased her son a pair of the original color Caribou and he loved them as well. I would most definately incourage someone to purchase these boots!

I probably look a little funny walking around the streets of Manhattan in boots that are meant for Colorado-like snow, but after all the snow we've been getting here, I couldn't be happier that I have these Sorel's! I literally stomp through slushy puddles without a second of hesitation. They're completely waterproof, and the tred is awesome for the snow and ice. They're super warm. I've only been wearing them with thin trouser socks so far, and have no need for anything thicker. I walk over a mile to work in them, and have found them to be extremely comfortable. The one thing I will definitely say is that they run big. I ordered a 6, and I'm normally a 7. The woman I spoke with in customer service assured me that I should order a size smaller, and she was definitely right. The 6 is perfect for me. Overall, the boots are great. They were exactly what I was looking for!

Great winter/snow boot!! They do run big, I'm normally an 8, purchased a 7, fit is perfect. They are incredibly warm, perfect for playing in the snow with toddlers. They do feel a bit "klunky" at first, but you adjust to them quick!!! I purchsed the boot in black - love 'em. Great boot, can't say enough really... Thanks, Sorel!!!

These boots are SEXY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They are a great gift, all my women are SOREL women!!!!!!!!! The boots are fantastic for Boston winter weather. If your wearing a skirt or wearing jeans they look great on. Fighting cold deep snow or walking through city slush these boots do the trick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The quality is there for years, you can not find a better boot. They are mountain booots, city boots and all the time boots. When the weather hits hard. All I can say is the work..........I am in law enforcement and wish they made an all black men's caribou to include the liner..........Stay Happy, Stay Warm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

beautiful boot well made perfect for the cold weather !!!!

Replaced my last pair, only lasted 25 years, with these beauties. Nice urban theme color scheme, Noir on Noir. Always practical, just kick em off at the door, slip on in on the way out. Massive traction, completely dry and warm. Look stylish plowing through the slush and mush. Why not go with the proven leader Sorel? Your toes will be toasty and your mind free to enjoy the journey. In survival school they teach you to always have an extra pair of dry socks. Cause once your feet are wet and cold your mind goes next. Zero chance of this ever occurring sporting Sorel Caribou.

I really like these boots and highly recommend them. I have worn them in deep snow, slush, and puddles and my feet always stay dry and warm. They take a little while to break in and I was walking kind of funny at first, but it didnt take long for them to loosen up. I am usually an 8-8.5 so I ordered an 8. Once my foot is inside, even with the lining in, I feel that they are kind of big. But, I have no trouble walking in them now and my feet stay very comfortable so I can't complain. My boyfriend and sister are jealous of my snow boots and are going ot get a pair of these for themselves!

Living and working on Ellsworth Air Force Base, South Dakota places great demands on you and your feet during the winter. The Caribou shoes have my military stamp of approval. Combating the brutal winters/blizzards accompanied by hurricane force winds combined with subzero temperatures is like death trying to remove snow without wearing this necessary footwear. My last pair were abducted by my son without prior authorization by my off duty supervisor, my lovely and wonderful wife. I just didn't know my wife gave him my favorite winter boots to wear because the temperatures outside had surpassed -5 below zero. My son, who is wearing my other Caribou's are still in great serviceable condition after 15 years of service. When my wife realized that my favorite snow boots were abducted without higher headquarter approval (that would be me), well it was the perfect excuse to buy some more!

I have put off getting good winter boots because I am frugal and I thought doubling up wool socks in boots from a New England catalog would make up the difference. It just doesn't work. Spend the extra money on the Caribou's and your feet will never regret it. The Caribou's are beyond comfortable, they keep my feet warm in snow, on concrete and in the woods.

They look and feel great. Wearing them makes trumping through the snow plenty of fun. I might be a little happier if these are available in half sizes. My foot size is 8 to 8 1/2. If possible I'd have bought 7 1/2 instead of 8. I'll adapt with socks.

I ordered these boots in the tan color and was so excited when I finally got them (I live on the East Coast and we have been having some heavy snow this winter). I wear a size 10 and I thought that they fit perfectly. I tried them on with my heavy ski socks as well as barefoot and they fit well either way. When I say that the lining is warm, I mean WARM and the lining is super soft and well cushioned. I didn't slip on the ice when I went to shovel my driveway thanks to the soccer-cleat like sole. I also like the fact that the boots are designed to easily tuck your pants into the boots--I didn't have to struggle with my jeans to get them into the boot. I would say that the only downside is that these boots are so heavy-duty is that it is somewhat awkward driving with them, but it is a minor issue (I think that it is harder to drive in high-heels). Buy these!

I'm a true 10.5 and ordered the 10; at first they were a little snug getting on and taking off but after a couple days, all is well! So far, I've worn them snowmobiling, walking the doggies, hauling firewood, running errands in town, and to a party (all in snow, snow, snow). I love these, they are as practical as they are good looking.

My wife and I each purchased a pair of Caribou Sorels in mid December. We have received a lot of snow here in Utah, followed by extremely cold temperatures. These boots are grip well on ice
