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.

I got this Caribou for my wife and she loves it. Its really warm and comfortable. It is quite roomy inside but that works out great for the thick socks. It`s kind of bulky otherwise these boots are great!

I marked that they felt a 1/2 size larger than normal and my guess is that it leaves space for thick socks. I bought these boots due to my job taking me through heavily wooded, swampy areas. I was concerned after watching the video that they would be too flimsy. These boots are massive, thick and clunky. Perfect for my job! I'm certain they will work well for the snowy weather also! A little stiff and pretty heavy. Took some adjusting to walk in at first.

THIS IS MY 4TH SEASON WITH MY SORELS AND THEY LOOK AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT WAS DELIVERED. I HAVE YET TO WEAR A PAIR OF SOCKS WITH THEM AS THEY ARE SOOOOO WARM. YOU COULD WALK THRU DEEP INCHES OF SNOW WITH THESE BOOTS. THEY ARE A MUST HAVE FOR THE WINTER, ESPECIALLY WHEN THERE IS A LOT OF SNOW TO SHOVEL. THE RIDGES ON THE BOTTOM OF THE BOOTS HAS GREAT TRACTION, AND THERE HAS BEEN NO EVIDENCE OF SLIPPING AND FALLING IN THEM. IT IS WELL WORTHE THE PRICE, SO DON'T CHEAP OUT!

I'm anxiously waiting for snow so I can try out my new boots! They're really comfortable and cute. The sizing is perfect. I like the idea that new liners can be ordered once these wear out instead of having to buy new boots. I'm hoping these will last for many years.

Usually I wear a size 9. Ordered the 8 based on other reviews of the boot running large. Ordered it, tried it and am sending back. I'm going to stay with the size 9.

I still have a pair of these from 25 years ago that are in great shape, original caribou from back in the day and I still love them. I just bought a new pair that has the chocolate brown upper and actually fit me better (I bought the old pair a size too big at the time because they didn't have my size).
I use these boots up on the mountain and on weekends in the winter and couldn't live without them.

It used to be that only guy farmers and ranchers wore these. Now I know why. These boots will keep your feet warm and dry in any weather. I heart them.

Ok these boot rock but was bummed when they were so big that they made me feel clumsy.
I wear an 8 or 8 1/2, but the final size that worked for me was a 7. I know that I will have these boots forever. They are here to stay. They have a classic look but somehow always feel trend right. LOVE them...now it"s the true test.WINTER in JERSEY LOL. Can't wait to make snowmen and throw snowballs at my husband!!! AHHHHHHH. Love you Sorel.

These boots are great for cold and wet weather. They keep your feet warm, but the slushy wet snow will not hurt the rubber wrapping on the foot part of the boot. Great to keep your feet warm and dry. Definitely buy one size down. I take size 12 (woman's), and I bought size 11 woman's. Not only do they fit me in the one size smaller, but my feet don't look so enormous in them as they would if I bought size 12.

These boots are great. Comfortable, warm, durable at a reasonable price. We had 3 big snow storms last year and our old Sorel boots were great. Bought a new pair for myself and my wife. The 15 year old Sorel boots we have similar to the Caribou are still great, just thought it was time to splurge for some new ones. These feel better.
One thing I would change is to get them in half sizes for the optimal fit.

These were my first pair of boots that lasted 12 years. Finding them in the stores around here are very far and few between. The key is to order them early through the Sorel webite, otherwise they sell out fast for the season. My wife has had hers for 14 years. We will definetly come back to the website when she is due for another pair. They are the best snow boots made.

I haven't had a pair of Caribou's since i was a wee lad; it's probably been about 25 years or so. I just got my new pair in and even though the snow hasn't fallen i have them waiting by the door for the white stuff. After trying them on they were so comfortable and perfect for New England winters to come.
Keep up the great work.

I love my Caribous. While they do run a little large, there's no warmer boot out there. These boots never fail to keep my feet warm and dry. Their classic, timeless design makes me feel confident that they'll always be in style; just look at how many imposters are out there with cheaper, less functional versions of boots that kinda try to look the same. Also, it's awesome that Sorel.com sells fresh liners... makes them feel like new again.

I ordered these boots after reading reviews of lots of different boots online and these looked perfect. Luckily, I was warned by other reviewers that the boots run large, so I ordered a size 6 (I usually wear 7.5). They fit very comfortably, and are also comfortable to walk the mile and a half to the office when snow prevents driving. Very warm as promised. Overall, a purchase I'm very happy with.

I purchased (2) pairs of your boots about 15 years ago. One for casual use and one for our snowmobile. The pair I bought for casual use finally gave out, the seam in the back split. I looked everywhere for your boots and could not find them anywhere. When I looked on the internet I was very happy you were still around. I really like the Caribou boots I purchased. They are very comfortable and warm. They are expensive, but when you factor in how long they last it is worth every penny. I will never purchase another brand, and as soon as my children stop growing I will certainly purchase them Sorel's.

These are the best boots ever! My neighbor has them and highly recommended, so I bought them for my son-in-law for Christmas. When my husband (who never wants anything for himself) saw how wonderful they were, he wanted them too. His arrived just in time for the blizzard in which we got 52" of snow over 5 days, so they got a real workout (both the boots and my husband). Both guys say they are the warmest, most comfortable, and easiest boots to get on. A great value - we can't say enough.
