Love 'Em -
I love my Sorels. They're about a 1/2 size bigger than what I normally wear. But with a thick pair of socks, they fit great and they're extremely comfortable. Also, they're warm.

Get a half-size larger...
...if you plan to wear heavy socks. I ordered my usual size (7 and a half) and they are snug with light weight socks. They are very lightweight, comfortable, and even attractive in their own utilitarian way! If you have really big legs (like mine) you might wish for more room at the top of the boot.

Do not size down. So many reviews suggested this. I am typically a 7/7.5 so I ordered the 7. Toes were hitting front of boot with a heavier sock.

I'm short 5' 2' so the stiffness of the top of the boot hit too high on on my calf. I like the idea of the height, the funnel of the boot was too stiff so the edge of the boot pushed too much into the back of my calf.

Waterproof, very warm but kind of bulky. They are needed for snow and rainy days so I was not expecting comfort but dry, warm feet and they do their job!

THESE DO NOT RUN BIG!! It actually infuriates me that Sorel suggests you size down. If anything, go up 1/2 a size. I wear an 8.5. I ordered an 8.5. I need a 9. Sorel never exchanged them for me! If theyre going to suggest you size down, at the very least offer an easy exchange program. They make you return them, and then purchase them again. I bought them on sale, so I would have had to reorder at a higher price. They sit unworn & useless in my closet. Size up!!! Read other reviews. They tell you the same thing. Sorel, do better!!!

Within a week of purchasing these, the liner was wearing through in several places. Waterproofing claims are a joke, as are the temperature ratings: even in single digits, my feet were cold.
Sorel customer service told me there was nothing they could do about this. Save your money - this product is garbage.

This is the third pair of these boots over the years. I wear them a lot, snowshoeing, walking the dog, shoveling and running errands, when the conditions require it. The last pair lasted me over 20 years. So I didn't even look elsewhere.

These boots are humongous. I thought there had been a mistake and I was sent mens boots, because theyre are womens 8.5 yet almost the same size as my husbands size 9 military issue boots. The inside says womens 8.5 and so does the box. Returns are not free even though they are not using any sort of reasonable sizing. What kind of socks do you think people are going to wear that will make these fit?!

This is the second pair of Sorel Caribou Boots I have purchased. The first one was in 1983. They lasted over 40 years! They moved with me from Montana to Colorado, to South Africa, to Wisconsin, to Texas and back to Colorado. Talk about quality, endurance, warmth, comfort and performance. I'll never have to buy another pair... if these last 40 years ... unless I live to be 100. Excellent product! Well done Sorel.

I am a huge fan of Sorel and love all of my different Sorel boots but was very disappointed in my first pair of the Caribou Boot. I couldn't get my foot inside the boot without bunching up the liner inside (I ordered my true size, a size 10). Once I finally got my foot in, I pulled it out and the liner came out too! I checked the other boot and the liner was also not attached or sewn into the boot in any way. Very disappointed in the quality of this particular boot. I am also annoyed that I had to pay $12 for shipping for a $200 pair of boots. Most merchants offer free shipping for that price point. And now I have to pay another $6 to send them back? Ridiculous.

I have no doubt that these Sorel boots would keep my feet warm in the snow; however, they are SO chunky and heavy that I just could not see myself wearing them except maybe once or twice in a winter. I tried them on several times and could barely walk in them--maybe because I am a bit short and they just are too much boot for me. Very nice looking and they were hard to give up, but just too heavy for me. I think I can still keep warm and protected in a lighter Sorel boot.

Sorel historically run large. I used to be a full size down, but now only half a size. I'm a pretty true women's 7.5 and ordered a 7. Feel fitted but able to move freely, medium thickness sock works best. Feel their quality has waned in last decade.

Stunned with the quality of these boots. I have only ever gotten sorel shoes living in the Midwest and these feel cheap, sound cheap and are quite uncomfortable. The way the shoe is designed dogs into my Achilles and make it really tough to walk longer distances.

They fit well, but are a bit heavier and bulkier than I expected. I went down a half size after reading the comments, and they fit well.

These boots are both comfortable and warm. I wear a size 11, so I was worried that I would look like Frankenstein, but theyre actually kind of cute and I get a lot of compliments on the color. They work well with my snow shoes too! I highly recommend them.

It's a heavy boot, but easy to get on and off. The website suggested to order a 1/2 size smaller, so I did. The fit is wide at the toes, but OK. It's stiff material, I'm hoping it becomes more flexible as I walk in them. I'm in Idaho and have had extreme cold, these boots have kept my feet warm.
