Customer Reviews SOREL Caribou™

While these boots will not win any awards in the Cute or Sexy category, they will definitely win in the Warm and Dry categories. I wanted boots for the coming winter and though it hasn't snowed yet, I get the impression that these will be a good bet. The outer shell is a tough rubber and the inner boot is a very thick, warm felt. I normally wear a 7 or 7.5 but ordered up to an 8 and am glad I did; because the inner boot is so thick, I had trouble getting them on barefoot. If you like to wear thick socks with your boots, you'll want to order two sizes up. I'm also happy with the width of the boot. I do have bunions (unashamed!) and the toe box of these boots offered plenty of room. In short: I can't wait for it to snow.

The liner in these boots were to small for the boot so Zappo's credited me for the cost of the liner so that I could purchase the liner in a size larger direct from the company. Now they fit perfect. Zappo's was extremely accomodating in helping me to purchase the right size boot Their customer loyalty team is great. Hope your experience with Zappo's is as pleasant.

Very comfy and well-made. Unfortunately, they are only sold in whole sizes, so my feet are swimming in them a but, but they're still great!

Just got these and wore them apres ski... Very warm, durable and the tread is good to prevent slipping. I'm sure I'll have them for a long time! I usually wear a 6.5. I got a 6 and they fit well. They are quite heavy, though.

Super warm and comfy. Definitely a must for cold snowy conditions. They're a little bulky, but they're still cute. I ordered an 8 but I ended up sending them back for a 7 because the 8 was huge on me. They can be a little tricky to get into but they're definitely worth it!

I ordered these boots a few weeks ago and received them really quickly. I really loved the look of these boots. I read most of the reviews which said that they ran small. These boots actually are made for a narrow foot. I have a wide toe and narrow heel. Even if I ordered these boots in another size up it would not fit. They just run too narrow and you cannot order a wide size. Unfortunately I will have to return them.

I haven't gotten to try these in the snow yet, but I can't wait. They seem to have a super great tread and are super insulated and warm when I wear them. I was worried that the seam between the rubber and the fabric upper would be stiff and bothersome, but I can't even feel it when I wear them. They look so great, I can't wait till the snow flies!

I needed a warm, waterproof boot to wear when walking our dogs. These are perfect for that. I had to return the pair I bought in my regular size and buy 1 size smaller than I normally wear. As always, Zappos customer service was A++++.\r\n\r\nI gave these 4 stars since they are clunkier and heavier than they appear in the photo, and to me this compromises style, fit and ease of movement to some degree.

Want to live these - and im used to big heavy snow boots, but oh my word these are SO heavy. And the 6.5 is quite small for a boot — im usually a 6.5 which fits well — these my toes hit the front.

Not great fit -- way too tight in the toe near the area where rubber joins upper. Also very stiff. Liked the fit better than Joan of Arc however.

I have had these boots for about 6-ish year, and have such mixed feelings about them. I live in Upstate New York where we do get a lot of snow. They've been used to shovel, snow blow, walk the dogs and commute to work. On the plus side, they are warm and dry. The laces work well (but you do have to double knot them). They've held up very well over several years. I don't find them especially comfortable though. Sometimes I use an older pair of Baffins because they are much lighter and easier to walk in. Even after years of use, the leather is so, so stiff. I also don't find them especially grippy in slippery conditions.

wanted to like them but just too clunky for day to day winter warrior-ing. perfect if you are shoveling driveways all day or working out in the snow, but hauling kids to and fro in deep snow...they're just too much

My feet measure at a 6.5, but I tend to wear a 7 or 7.5 because I have wide toes. I ordered these in a 7.5 and they were ridiculously large! It was like when a child puts on their parent's shoes. The style was good and I have always heard good things about Sorels, but the sizing was way too far off.

Great item--short life! In only three years, the rubber top disintegrated! Worthless! If there's something I did wrong, or a conditioner for the rubber, let me know, I'd gladly get another pair. My budget doesn't allow me to spend $150 on snow boots every few years. Am I being unreasonable?

Do these boots need conditioner? How long should they last? They are, even if a little heavy, warm and waterproof. Somewhat slippery for city use, but I didn't know that and still, can deal. I needed a boot that could hold up for walks in water and snow. NYC is a walking city. BUT: after a mere three years without that much use, the rubber split on both toe boxes. That's it! $150 out the window! Nice while it lasted; but I'm debating whether I ought to get a new pair. Disappointed.

This is the first winter I've experienced in NY since moving here last May and needed to find a pair of snow boots. I was pretty excited to see these boots and decided to order a pair. Once they arrived and I tried them on, I was so disappointed. They made my feet look enormous. I'm 5'1" tall and wear a size 7 shoe so being short made them look even larger on my feet. They fit well on the inside but on the outside, I looked like I was wearing my father's boots. Unfortunately, I had to return them and get a pair of boots that are made for urban cold weather, not the arctic tundra. I'm sure these boots would work great if I lived in Alaska.

Thanks Zappos as always for the quick service! However, these boots are boats and difficult to get on and off. I will be returning and checking the site for another possibility. Thank you!

I was looking for boots that would be easy on/off for all the outdoor chores I do in the winter, and I was really hoping these boots would work for me, but the seam where the rubber meets the upper is so thick it digs into my foot just under my ankle. It was very painful after just a few steps around the house.

Was looking for a sturdy winter boot and I loved the look and height of these, but the bottom of the boot was just too bulky for me (I have larger feet anyway, so it just made them look huge). Returning for a different model of Sorel that is a little less bulky.

The boot liner is narrow compared to the boot. I bought 1 size larger than my shoe size for extra socks and the liner was still too tight on my calf.

These are really huge boots. They are definitely rugged, too rugged for everyday use, so I am returning them. They look to be of high quality and they were very comfortable.

I found these boots to be extremely bulky and more masculine than I'd hoped. My feet are normal (medium) width and these boots felt particularly wide for me. Also, I find them to be inflexible at the ankle making walking somewhat awkward. For a city dweller, I do too much walking to feel comfortable in these boots. They do seem to be very good quality boots, but just not for me. I am returning them.

Really big and really clunky! I thought they looked like men's shoes in the size 9. I ended up buying the Tivoli instead and loved them much better!

Heavy Duty - The reviews are accurate. I usually wear a 6.5 or 7 and the 6 fit perfectly. These boots are heavy duty--They're great for snowy days, but they are also just plain HEAVY. I actually dread wearing them and lifting the heavy boots with every step. I would see if Sorel has a lighter version before buying these.
