Customer Reviews SOREL Caribou™

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.

Winter Warmth - Sorel makes top quality boots that will most definitely keep your feet toasty warm and dry while out in frigid and snowy winter weather. They are also very comfortable and didn't take any breaking-in time. I normally wear size 8 1/2, so I ordered a 9 in these boots. The 8 also fit, but was a little snug with thick socks. The 9 gave me a little extra room, but nothing too drastic. Recommend going to the whole size one up if you are a half-size.

North East life saver - I should have bought these earlier in the season. Sure they are not the most glamorous boots, but if you are tired of wet socks, cold feet and snow in your shoes then you are in for a treat with these boots. I bought these knowing they will last me for a good long time. They're a tad clunky but it's no clunkier than trudging through the snow.

Nice boot for cold wet weather - This boot is great for those few weeks out of the year where the weather is very cold and wet. It is not practical for walking long distances or standing a lot. I wear 9.5 and ordered a 10 and wear wool socks with them and put arch support in them as they offer little in support. These are useful and stylish boots.

Women's Sorel Caribou - Although the boots are heavy, I am very pleased with them. They keep my feet warm and dry and provide good traction on snow and ice. They are easy to put on and take off; one stamp of a boot removes snow from its treads. When the weather is ugly, these boots are beautiful.

Love them! I ordered the purple Caribou's to match my winter coat and they are amazing! According to the other reviews I ordered an 8 (when I usually wear an 8.5) and they fit perfect. I've received so many compliments on how cute they are from friends and strangers! I also received them just before the first big snow here in Ohio, so Zappos.com's quick shipping really saved me from climbing around snow banks on my campus in my Chuck Taylor's. I would totally recommend them, but make sure you wear a thin sock with them because the wool lining can rub a little rough after a while -- I have the rugburn to prove it.

I haven't had a chance to wear them yet, but they feel great! Very warm, very comfortable. Maybe a little heavy if you plan to do a lot of walking in them. Also they do make your feet look bigger than other styles, but they're much more comfortable too.

Sorel Caribou - What an awesome boot! I can't wait for snow - they are just what I was looking for. I usually wear a size 8.5 and I ordered an 8 - a perfect fit. They are well made and look like they will get me through any bad weather that comes at me. Zappos is the greatest as always!

Adorable - I bought these two weeks ago for walking the dog, but apart from when I am asleep, the boots have scarcely left my feet. I've been wearing them to work, to run errands, or out to the bar. There was no break-in period. I got a size smaller than I usually wear, as per the other reviewers, and they fit perfectly. They are so warm and comfortable and the color (purple frost) is adorable--it's hard to believe that you can say the phrase "adorable Sorrels," but there you go.

based on the reviews i ordered a 10 and 11, in case the 11 was too big. but the 10 was too small so i think it depends on your foot. I got the purple ones, and i love them. I cannot wait to wear them in all that snow.

Got snow, get Caribous! We just moved to Colorado from central Texas last month and I was ill-prepared for the weather here. Sorel's Caribou boots are just the thing for snowy climes! I highly recommend this boot to anyone who lives with snow. I read all the reviews and found it helpful to order a half size smaller than I usually do. I wear a 5 1/2 shoe so I ordered a 5 in this boot and it fits perfectly. It is a bit heavy, but believe me, when the snow is deep, you don't mind in the least! And Zappos delivery is the fastest I've ever seen. I ordered this boot online Tuesday night at 10PM, and they arrived on Thursday by noon! Zappos is awesome! I'll never shop anywhere else online for shoes/boots!

My daughter loves them - They were a x-mas gift for her and she thinks they are great. Just the right utilitarian look and soo warm. She finds them very comfortable and a good fit.

Sorel Caribou Perfect Boot for Whistler! Warm, comfortable, and very cute! I ordered these out of necessity but was so surprised at how versatile they were. They actually looked great with leggings and a long tee as well as skinny jeans, sweater & vest.

Great Winter Boot - Perfect for winter weather. Runs big. I am normally a 9 and ordered both an 8 & 7. The 7's worked better for me. They make stomping around in the snow more fun and are cute for running errands as well!

Perfect for the Snow - The thick lining is perfect for keeping your toes and feet warm. I love them. This is my second pair of Sorel's. I bought this pair because they lace up. My older pair slip on. I would not any other brand.

I love my Sorels - I just replaced my Sorel snow boots that I have had for 25 years! I loved my old boots so much but they were really showing their age. I have never gotten this much wear from any shoe or boot that I have ever owned. I live in Alaska and my boots have seen a lot of wear. I am replacing them with the Sorel's Caribou. This is the same boot I had with a few upgrades like a better sole and better stitching. My advice for purchasing this boot is to buy a half size smaller. This boot runs large. My old boots were wonderful but a little too big and they always felt sloppy. My new boots are a whole size smaller and they fit perfectly. If you buy these boots you may never need to buy another!

Toasty warm - I love these boots so much. I have the coldest feet, but they are warm and toasty in these, not to mention they are very comfortable. I think they are pretty cute as well, especially for a boot that comes through on performance. Everyone comments on how cute and warm I look in them. I have a size 5/6 shoe so I ordered the 5 and I am happy with the sizing. Just enough room for a thick sock, although I don't think I'll be needing them.

Great, comfortable and warm! I am very happy with my new winter boots. However, the sizes run big. I usually wear a size 8, so I ordered a size 8 for these boots. I had to return them, because they were too big. I ordered a size 7, and they are steel a size too big. Recommendation: Order at least a size smaller than normal! (The boots are heavy as they are - no need to drag the weight of an extra size around.)

Great boot; great price! I bought these for my daughter because she needed something warm, waterproof and stylish that would be comfortable enough for walking around campus. She can't wait to wear these! I spotted them on Steve's Sale page and couldn't believe the price! I'm never disappointed with Zappos!

Awesome - I go to UConn, so I got these boots so I would have something to wear when I walk around campus in the snow. I agree that they look big, but they are ADORABLE, especially with jeans tucked into the top, and even with a skirt. And they're VERY warm and comfortable. But I would recommend going a half-size lower than usual, especially if you don't plan to wear heavy socks with them (you don't need to for warmth). Really cute though.
