There is no question in my mind that Sorel makes the best boot in the world when it comes to keeping the feet warm. I'm on my second pair, I bought my first 25 years ago and they have served me well.

I love these boots - super cozy warm, and perfect to wear apres-ski. Order up not down though!

Every year or two, I had to replace new snow boots for previous one but after I've gotten Sorrel's Caribou snow boots in Montreal, I don't have to do so, excelleint wridge on the bottom, warmth inside and looks very stylish and the most of all, it is very comfortable to wear for long time not like others given some pain or promble or part of its bottom dissapeared... You got to purchse it cause you are going to love it and keep it for long time. Am I smiling or what?!

Serious boots! I just read the other reviews and noted the comments about big, funny, heavy. These are serious boots for serious people. All the ski instructors in the Tahoe basin wear them. The challenge is to get them looking a bit old. They like to stay new looking for a long time. I bought mine (from Zappos of course) seven years ago. They still look new. Moreover, heavy boots make skinny thighs.

My new Caribous arrived yesterday and so far they're perfect! They even kept my feet very warm during our 20 degree blustery evening out last night. I usually wear a size 8 shoe, but after reading reviews, I decided to order a size 7 and I'm so glad I did. With the liner and a pair of thick wool socks, they fit perfectly. Without the liner, they are a bit roomy, but can be adjusted by adding an extra pair of socks. So if you are wondering what size to order, order down instead of up. They are also quite a wide fit. I plan on wearing these for many winters to come!

I am a true size 6.5. I have had Sorels in the past, size 7, which were too big. I purchased these very cute boots in size 6, but they were too short. Width felt fine.

I received my Sorel Caribou boots two weeks ago, and absolutely love them. These are serious boots, that I think I will own for a lifetime. They DO run large, that is for sure. I am a true 9.5, so based on other reviews, I ordered a 9. They are still big on me - WITH the liner in. However, once I put on a pair of thicker wool socks, they were fine to walk in. Still bigger than other shoes and boots that I own, but they work. In fact, it's nice to have such warm boots on, and still be able to wiggle your toes. They're much heavier than I expected too... however, despite this, they are still VERY comfortable. We haven't had a big snow here in Wisconsin yet this year, but I wore them on a cold day last weekend while walking dogs for two hours at the Humane Society, and my feet and legs felt great afterwards.

This is a classic boot that can be seen on the feet of many in MN. You just can't beat the durability. The liner may be tight, but the design is intentional and essential in keeping in the heat. My feet stay warm in subzero temps for an hour . When planning to stay in subzero temps for hours on end, I insert hand/foot warmer packets and it works like a charm. Snowmobiling, sledding, ice fishing, winter bonfires, or just treading through snow-ridden shopping mall parking lots. Early in the season I wear these boots without the liners, otherwise they are too hot. The tread and the laces are both equally durable. I expect that I will never have to buy another winter boot.

They run a bit big so if your in a half size get the smaller size. Super comfy and warm. They will last forever.

I wear a 7 1/2 and many of these reviews said that these boots are a size too big. So I went back and ordered a size 6 in addition to the 7. I walked around the house in both sizes for a couple weeks and ultimately decided on the 7. I do agree, these are a size too big and if they made half sizes, a 6 1/2 would be perfect. I tried them out in about 5 feet of snow this weekend in Tahoe and my feet stayed warm and dry. I got many compliments on them and if worn with with your jeans tucked into the boot, they really don't look too bulky or like 'clodhoppers'. I also bought an additional liner for these so if I wear my jeans over the boots, there will just be less bulk without the furry cuff on the top of the liner. My only complaint is the liner always comes out when you take the boot off. I've tried to hold the liner in but it still comes out enough that I have to push it back in and adjust it. Otherwise, they are perfect!

I have used the Sorel Boot in the past for cold climate foot wear, hence, I know that the Sorel Boot is tops for comfort in extreme cold weather. I am very pleased with my purchase, and, with cold weather on the way, intend to use them to the hilt. I ride the commuter trains to my place of work, and, there are long waits on the train platform in an exposed area. These boots will make all the difference during the cold winter months where I live.

My mom has owned a pair of theis boots for 22 years, she got them back when we lived in Montana. The only difference is hers are completely white. They have held up for the years and i love them, she loves them and the comfort they still have. I was so excited to find out they still sell the boots because i wanted a pair simular. I highly recomend this to anyone who lives in or will travel to snow anytime. they are the best investment my mom made for snow equitment.

These do run big. I usually wear a 7 US but got these a full size smaller. Because they are so warm though I only need to wear a thin sock. These boots are great though. Warm, comfy, and give you great stability on snowy, icy surfaces. They are heavy but not as heavy as other snow boots. I highly recommend these boots!

I ordered these shoes yesterday, and to my surprise they were on my front porch this afternoon. I was a little skeptical if they would fit 1st try, but to my surprise they are super comfortable. They are a little more narrow than I would have liked, but they're still really comfortable with 2 pairs of socks on. I normally wear a 6 1/2-7 so I ordered a 7. Super cute to boot.

The boots, although I have not worn them in the snow yet, seem very durable - great quality. The company has a great reputation already and I knew that before purchasing these. They fit great - I am a 7.5 and ordered an 8 because Sorel doesn't make 1/2 sizes in this style.

Ordered a pair of these for my husband. I've had a pair for years (and they still look new.) We live in snowy cold country and my feet have never been cold in these boots. Super comfy and hefty for hiking through the woods. Love 'em!

Very nice quality boot! Does not fit true to size. I typically wear a 7 1/2- 8 but a size 7 fit much better. This boot is heavy duty and will not do you wrong in harsh weather. However, it is not a walking boot - it is very bulky. Don't get me wrong, though; I am very pleased with this purchase. I plan to use them out in the snow and have no worries my feet will stay very warm and dry!

All the reviews I read on these boots were so positive! And true to their description. The boots are on the heavy side, but have a nice fit and solid sole for that winter weather of snow and ice. I can wear a size 7 normally, but in this case the boots seem to run larger. I got a size 6 and it was perfect! Great price for the type of boot you are getting. I can see that these boots are going to service me well for a very long time.

This actually the 2nd pair that I have owned. I have not actually used the new ones yet, but having lived in Park City for almost 10 years before moving to Southern California I essentially lived in my Sorels for 1/2 the year! I think they are fantastic. They always kept my feet warm and dry whether I was at the resort or running from bar to bar up and down Main St. I am now back living in Utah and look forward to logging many more adventures in my new Caribou!

I recently moved to the upper part of MI, on Lake Michigan. I felt after 20 years I deserved a new pair of Sorels. Even though my old ones were broken in but just like new. I have survived the cold and snowy winters of CO, NY, and now MI. I searched high and low to find them. Finally found a store in our small town that carried them. Only to find out that their shipment of Caribou's would not be coming because of a fire in the factory. The store was nice enough to size my foot, (hey, it had been 20 years). I ordered my new Sorels on the internet. Wonderful, helpful website! I was so excited when they came. They fit perfect. I see a change in the bottom traction of boot. It has large bumps that make ridges. I'm sure they will have the same if not better traction as my old boots. Snow should be here any minute, my new Sorels are waiting, nothing warmer or cozier out there!!!

Excellent boots, they are snug and warm. My favorite for the snow or on rainy days since the white liner comes out. Extremely comfortable and don't chafe the back of your ankle (fellow boot wearers know what I mean)!

Awesome boots. They are heavy, but very warm and they keep my feet dry. Great in the snow. They do run a little big. Check Sorel's size chart on their website, and if you're a half-size, go up. I bought smaller because of the reviews, and had to exchange them for the next size up. They're a bit too big (in length and width), but I have narrow feet and they're fine with thicker socks.

These boots are very warm and very well made. I get a lot of compliments on them. However, I think they run a little tiny bit large. I wear an 8 and ordered a 7. While they are slightly snug, the 8 were just a little bit too big for me.
