Customer Reviews SOREL Caribou™

I think they will be warm, but my oh my are they HUGE - I admit that I have large feet-- usually an 11, but when they came my first thought was "man boots". They feel really big and roomy (a.k.a. WIDE) on my feet and I do wish that I had ordered down a size. The color that I ordered is sold out, so I think I will keep them but DO wish I had listened to the other reviews about them running large.

Just ready for winter. This is my second pair of these - the first were pillaged by a neighbor who needed warmth and traction more than I did. It took one snowfall for me to realize I was never getting them back and needed to order another pair. Sorel just knows what they're doing and is ready for winter.

Phenomenally fast delivery! I ordered these boots yesterday afternoon, and they arrived at 2pm today! They are very comfortable, and will be perfect with a pair of woolies. This is the 4th pair of shoes that I have bought from Zappos, and the speedy delivery time beats anyone anywhere; I buy nearly everything online. This is my first pair of serious snow boots, and I am not dissapointed. Snowing today, and I have already been out shoveling in them, 20 degrees, no cold toes here. And they are the coolest looking boots, classic.

"Yahoo Caribou" These boots are really comfortable...so easy to get on and off. They keep my feet really warm and look good, too! Now we need lots and lots of snow to put them to good use! Marsha O.

Way too small in the size I always order (7.5). I can't decide if I should order an 8 or 8.5 because I do love the shoe itself; dressy, not too fancy, sturdy, not too high heel. Great except the size was disappointing.

Job Well Done! I wear an 11M at minimum, often have to go with at 12 (because that's the only other option), and I took a gander at the largest size available, 11, in the Caribou. It fits well and is very warm. Good experience with the lining. The boots are a bit wider than I would prefer, but still feel great. The "Dusty Dark" color is amazing: like an exotic neutral!

Great snow boots! I ordered them in black and I'm really happy with the way they look and fit. Being a size 6.5, I tried them in both 6 and 7. Size 6 seemed to fit best. I tried them on with Smartwool Mountaineering Xheavy socks and there was still just enough room - in size 6 - to where my toes did not touch the front of the boot. If you're between sizes, I recommend sizing down. Otherwise, order true to size.

I love this boot!!! This is my second pair of Sorel’s. I am still wearing my first pair that I bought in the early 1990's. I had surgery on my feet, so they get cold easily. I can honestly say that I have never gotten cold feet in Sorel’s. Thank you for carrying them.

Very happy - I have tested these boots in deep puddles and snow. Definitely waterproof as stated. They look cute as well. They are sort of clunky, not for moving very fast, but I love them. I live in Chicago and they are great. Very warm as stated as well. The liners are awesome and you don't even need socks. I got the black ones because I thought the buff would get too dirty. Very happy with color as well. They are not jet black, but more on the blue side. If you want to wear them without the liners, you will need to order a size down. I ordered my usual shoes size and they fit perfectly with the liners.

Sorel Women’s Caribou - Runs big, I am a 9.5 to 10 W, and a 9W fit me fine. It was a med, I might go with a narrow if you don't want the "clunk". This is a handsome, functional boot for those more interested in keeping warm and having traction. I also own an ULU boot, which is just as warm, and less clunky. The problem is it is not as hardy. After two years, the leather is tearing in places, letting H2O in. They were out of black...I ordered "asphalt". I looked like it had a greenish tint to it in the photo, yet it is a nice darker gray color. I actually prefer it over black (and I haven’t seen any one else with this color!). Non-buff colors rarely go on sale... so just pay retail for the boot (it will keep you toasty forever...and the liners are even replaceable). PS, could use more arch support!

STILL QUALITY SOREL CARIBOU - I needed a utility boot for serious cold. This is still the one that fits that niche. Warm, dry, durable, I outgrew the 1st pair & passed them down...! They never wore out! This lining is warm & dry as well. This winter is cold & puts it to the test! Enjoy! T

Love them! I learned about Sorrel’s from my ski lift operator sister 20 years ago. They keep your feet warm and dry in any weather, even standing still in the snow for several hours at a time. They are still the best thing on the market.

Serious boot! My sister gave these to me as a gift and they are awesome. They are built like a fortress. Nothing will get in them. I spent all day yesterday and the day before rolling around in the 3 feet of snow we got this weekend. Built a 6' snowman, played tag with my kids, made snow angels, etc. And my feet stay totally and completely dry and warm...and I wore them barefoot! They do run a little big though. I wear a 9 1/2-10, my sister got me a 9 and they fit perfectly. In all the playing around, my toes never touched the front of the boot lol. Bottom line: Great boot! If you want something a little "prettier" though I also recommend the ULU Seona boot. They are so soft that I want to sleep in them but are also completely waterproof and are much taller than the Sorel.

Sorel Caribou - I love my Sorel Caribou boots. They are warm totally functional and comfortable; the edamame color is a bonus. I have a wide foot that is difficult to fit these are a good fit even with a heavy wool sock. My teenage daughters each have a pair.

It is what is is, and does what it does. In that sense, it's a great boot. I have high arches and had to work to get the boot on initially. Better after some wear. Keeps my feet warm and dry in the worst Midwestern weather. I miss my Canadian Sorel’s but oh well. You'll like these.

Run huge!!! I ordered a 7 but they are massive on my feet to the point that they almost fall off. I made the mistake of not returning them and keeping the 7s. I still love them and wear them all the time but I always wish I had ordered a 6.

Warm, Good looking boots - Finally my feet were warm when we were out on the ice fishing, atv-ing, snowmobiling, etc. I think the reason these feel a little smaller than most boots is because of the liner.

Warm as Toast - This is the best boot for winter ever (these are a replacement for my last pair which lasted 15 years and only succumbed to the teeth of an overactive dog, not the elements and the new green color makes it slightly fashionable - but who cares about fashion when your toes are toasty warm and your calves are getting a mini-workout from hoisting these boots. Right now with a new snowfall of ten inches I'm feeling lucky in my Sorels.

Big! But great - These boots are very warm and perfect for the snow. The only downside is that they are kind of heavy and they run pretty big. I usually wear an 8.5-9, but the 9s were way too big. The 8 was perfect though.

They ain't pretty, but they're warm & dry! It took me almost ten years of living in New England and dealing with months of freezing cold snow and slush before I finally broke down and bought a pair of Sorels, but I am glad I did! My toes are warm and dry and happy in these things. And the look is growing on me. Not particularly stylish, but so ugly they're cute, in a lumberjack sort of way. I tried on several different styles of Sorel and found that the Caribou had the most generous fit. I'm a 7.5, not quite a wide width, but a bit wider than average and these in size 7 gave me plenty of room to wiggle my toes and wear thick socks. They come up high enough to keep snow out of them, there is a nice fuzzy collar around the top to keep them from rubbing your shins, and because they lace up you can tuck your pants in them.

Caribou's Rock! Just got my Sorel Caribous. I originally ordered the Snowcats, but decided I wanted to try the Caribous before I made up my mind. I am glad I did. They are so comfortable and fit very well. I ordered a size 8 and I usually wear an 8.5. They fit well with or without socks. They may appear clunky in the picture, but they are actually very easy to walk in. The lacing system is very nice. In all my years of skiing, 90% of ski lift operators are wearing Caribou's. I knew I made a good choice. I also love the black color.

The best winter boot! I’ve worn this model boot for 25 years. I’ve tried others but this is by far the warmest, most comfortable, most waterproof, longest lasting and most versatile of all. Works from the first snow through the mud season. Great for snow shoeing too. I like this shoe so much I keep an extra new pair on hand in case they ever stop making them. Nice and roomy so your feet don’t lose circulation like they do in close boots = cold feet.

Warm in Utah winters - This boot is great - my toes are perpetually cold - but these boots have kept them toasty through a cold Utah winter and lots of snow! I have found them to lack a little support and a little voluminous - but I also have relatively narrow and flat feet - so I slipped an insole in them and they're perfect! I wear an 8-8.5 shoe - and the 8 is plenty long...

I love my new Sorel’s! Can't go wrong with these for snowy weather. They are not the most feminine looking boot but there is no substitute. Your feet will always be warm and toasty.
