I usually wear an 8, but I followed the other reviewers' suggestions and purchased a 7. The boots themselves are huge, but they are a great fit with the lining. Getting my feet in and out of the lining takes several minutes, but the boots are warm and a great value.

So, I'm really sad because I absolutely love the way these boots look. I ordered them in slate because they would basically go with anything. I ordered these in a 9 and found that they were HUGE. I usually wear a perfect 9.5, so it made me wonder if these were really mens sizes. I tried my luck on ordering an 8, but they were much too small. HALF SIZES, PLEASE SOREL?! I'm devastated, but these are going back.

I own a pair of size 8 Sorels in a different style so I ordered these in a size 8. Disappointed that they were too small. Currently no size 8 1/2 available. The quality of the boots is exceptional, very disappointed that I couldn't put them to use right away.

I ordered a pair of Sorels because I needed something warm and waterproof with good traction. This boot is all of those things. Just wish these came in half sizes. SIZE - I usually wear a 9 or 9.5 (usually a 9.5 due to added width). These boots only come in whole sizes so I ordered a 10. At first I felt like they were way too big. With thick enough socks they fit better, but the boots are so warm needing thick socks isn't really a concern. - The width is great, and the arch actually hits my arch (something I always have trouble with), but they are at least a half inch too long. - If the boots stretch too much they really will be too big. Might need to find a different pair next year. - I have large calves and usually have a problem finding boots, but these ones fit my legs well. COMFORT - Not too comfortable for walking around all day, bu they'll keep you dry and warm when outside. LOOK/STYLE - They make my feet look huge, which is why I almost tried to exchange them for a different style that has half sizes. - They are cute.

I've owned a pair of these boots for years that were just a tad too small (I am a 8.5 and bought the 8 on super sale years ago). Found another sale and now own the 9. My feet are never cold and I can wear my heavy Smart Wool socks or the lighter weight ones and they fit just fine. I am WARM, stable on snow/ice and can walk comfortably. I can actually drive my Prius in these boots. I use them for extended play or walks outside with the dogs. I am quite glad I invested in a new pair. This should do it for years to come...thank you for continuing to offer this product.

This California girl had business in Montreal-- in February! I needed a sturdy, warm winter boot (I knew my trusty Uggs wouldn't cut it) and I decided to buy the classic Sorel Caribou. I read dozens of customer reviews before my purchase. Many said that the boots run large and that they are hard to get in and out of. Well, they do run large, but I suppose that is to accommodate heavy socks. I wore my thickest pair, and the boots fit comfortably. Yes, it is a little difficult to extract one's feet from the boots (due to the heavy, warm bootie-style liner) but I was grateful that the insulation provided full coverage without any gaps or openings. So, I tramped around Montreal in heavy snow and ice. The boots provided terrific warmth and traction. I expect they will last forever. On the way home, I saw a guy in the airport, wearing a pair of Caribous that were probably 25 years old-- well-worn and sporting a little duct tape over one seam. I hope mine look the same one day! Oh, the best part is that they were on sale via the Sorel website. It might be the best $100 I ever spent. Thanks, Sorel!

These are great boots. I spent my first day wearing them at a festival on a frozen lake and my feet never got cold and they look very good too. I thought Sorels ran big so i bought size eleven since i wear 10 1/2. I was wrong. The 10 fit better so I traded them out. My only issue is the right boot liner is fitting poorly against my ankle an causes some discomfort. Hoping it goes away with time.

Awesome warm stylish boots, that'll keep your feet warm and dry. They remind me of garden boots, but less rubber and more fur. When I put them on for the first time, I realized how wide they are. I usually have a snug fit for size 9, but these gave about a 1/3 inch of extra room. I definitely recommend them for cold weather, walking around while there's snow.

I love these boots. They are the perfect winter boot. They are definitely a little heavy but they keep your feet warm and are SUPER cute especially with leggings. This is a great purchase that I know will last me for years.

My husband finally bought a pair of boots, that actually keep him warm and dry for a 10 hour day. He pumps propane in Minnesota, so temps can be 40 below and his feet are still toasty. He walks in knee deep snow and his feet are dry. Thanks for a great boot and for making my husband very happy!!

The Caribou boot is just what I needed for Chicago weather. They are extremely warm and comfortable. I love that they are waterproof too. The only thing I would say was a negative, they are a little heavy-but that's what you get for wanting heavy duty boots!

These were supremely clunky compared with the Tofino boot - they look like men's boots, they are so wide. Still, I like the style & color and fit. And they are very comfortable and warm, although a bit heavy - would not want to wear for long walking or long days on my feet. Being a small woman I look a bit ridiculous in these.

Although a little tough to slip on and off, the boots are very warm, weather resistant and have a great tread to prevent slipping on snow and ice.

The boots filled my expectations; I feel secure, confort, and I even feel proud to wear them...! I will advice that you get just your size, not more not less, in doing so, you will be walking very confortable and don't need thick sucks; otherwise, it will be difficult to get your foot in. The boots are warm enough to give you all the confort in the worst weather. Great buy.!

After three winters of wear I am disappointed with the quality of the boot. The first two years I loved the boot because they were warm with a decent grip while walking (although a bit heavy for street walking an extended length of time). I am into my third year of wearing these boots and the rubber has begun to split at the seam. Furthermore, the rubber at the toes is beginning to crack and the soles of the shoes have lost their grip. In regards to fit, the overall fit is large and loose. I like a spacious boot. However, others may not prefer an overall large boot. Also, in deep fluffy snow the top of the boot may allow snow to slip in as the top is a bit wide. I am about to purchase a pair of Baffin Musher boots, I have a feeling I may like these better. The Baffin's have a nylon top with a drawstring to keep out snow and the boots fasten with buckles rather than laces which are easier to adjust with gloves one.

I am very pleased with this purchase. The boots were pretty much true to size (maybe a tad large, but this is easily corrected with thick socks) and extremely comfortable and warm. While the leather color is very attractive (I ordered the grey boots), the waterproof rubber soles definitely make feet look double their size. You won't be worrying about this too much though since your feet will be cozy and protected from water, snow and ice.

My best advice when ordering these snow boots... Order a size up so you have room for your smart wool socks... These are great boots to keep your tootsies warm in frigid weather.

Boots are high quality made and very warm, but very heavy for everyday wear. I am exchanging for another style Sorel boot that's not quite as heavy in weight. I would definitely recommend this boot to someone whose main purpose is for extreme warmth and durability, that doesn't mind a bit of a heavier boot.

The boots seem to be made from good quality materials. They are very warm. The lining on the inside does have a tight fit, and they are a little heavy. The actual size of the shoe runs a little big, but the lining around the top runs small. However overall they are great.

I bought these boots because one of the guys in the movie, The Grey, was wearing them when he was stranded in Alaska getting chased by wolves. Sadly, the wolf ran faster and ate him. Aside from the obvious it seemed like the boots were perfect for him.

Boots looked great until you try to put them on. They have an inner boot that is so small and the band at the top and along that inner boot is so unstretchable that will not allow you to get your foot into the boot. I bought these thinking that a lace up boot would be easier to get on. Unless you foot is a twig good luck trying to pull them on. The actual outer boot looks as thought it would fit and be great but the inside is a major flaw. I am very disappointed in that it looks like a great a boot.
