Customer Reviews SOREL Caribou™

Its 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. Its stiff material, Im hoping it becomes more flexible as I walk in them. Im in Idaho and have had extreme cold, these boots have kept my feet warm.

Way too bulky. Didnt like how they looked on my feet.

Seems like a warm, good looking,quality boot. However, they feel heavy to walk in and the sizing is off. I ended up returning them and decided not to risk reordering a size up. I normally wear a 7.5 and after chatting with someone at Sorel, I ordered my regular size. They were definitely wide enough, but my toes had no room length wise.

I bought the Caribou in gray about 9 years ago and only have worn them maybe 10 times. I live in Minnesota, so I thought these would be great to wear during the winter. The reason I dont use them as often as I would love to, is because they are too dang difficult to get on and off my feet. The felt liner is snug, yes I understand that, but the problem is the actual boot itself. The opening is too small and the material is too stiff. It almost feels as if I might break my ankles trying to get the boots onto my feet. Once I do, they are heavy and clunky, which is great for slushy ice walks. But if you plan to be driving or doing a lot of walking, maybe try something else. I really wished these would have worked out in my favor, but Ill be searching for something more easy to wear.

The quality for the price is excellent. To top that off, theyre comfortable, warm, have great grip, keep your feet dry and theyre super cute!

I've had a pair of these for 24 yrs. I conditioned the leather annually and washed the liner. Replaced the liner a few times. Repaired a few eyelets. They have received heavy use for atleast 5 yrs of that doing outdoor wilderness jobs. Spent a few winters in AK. The tread is worn down or else I wouldnt be looking for another pair. Way worth every penny. That being said conditioning the leather has been key to their survival.

I just bought theses boots for a trip in Duluth to keep my feet warm. So uncomfortable and heavy and gave me sores on the back of my ankles z I dont recommend this boot at all. Very disappointed in my first and probably last pair of boots I buy from this company unless its made right.

Boots were much too narrow and despite a long call with a customer service rep I was not able to figure out which size to order. Returning the boots was difficult. I will not be ordering a new pair but have just ordered a different brand. This is sad considering that these were to replace a pair of sorel so have had for 40 years.

I bought a pair of sorels 20 or more years ago, i still have them, this is why i buy sorels,

Great boots. Sizing guidance says they are true to size. Mine were snug at first but perhaps the liners compressed or something after a few wears. Now I float around in them. Disappointing. I recommend buying a size or half size down.

I previously owned these boots about 30 years ago and finally got a new pair. These new ones are a bit heavier than I expected but other than that they are perfect.

I bought these boots to replace my old Sorel's (they were over 40 years old). I actually only needed new liners in the old ones, but was not able to find them in my size.

I actually love these boots, although when I opened the box I wasn't so sure I would. I wasn't expecting them to be quite as big and bulky as they are - especially in the toe area (although they don't feel big. It's more on the outside they look huge). BUT, they are SO warm and keep my feet super dry and really that's why I bought them. Great quality. Seriously can't beat them for the price. The generic ratings won't let me change - this boot is better than average.

I'be had these for a couple of winters. Very warm and comfy. I'm a size 8 but went to an 8.5 as I usually do in Sorel boots so I could wear a thicker sock. The width is a little wider than normal. They are a heavy boot but that was expected.

Shoveling snow in CO these are great to keep your feet warm and dry. They have been great. They seem to run a little large, mainly long. But thick socks, although not needed do the trick. Love my Sorels.

This boot is wonderfully warm for extended periods outside in very cold weather. When the boots arrived I was not able to completely advance my foot into the boot past the forward area where the laces begin. Since the boot width seemed adequate from the outside, my husband used his fist to stretch that area from inside the boot, just enough to allow my foot to pass. I expect that area will stretch over time but for now I wear a very thin sock in order to slip my foot past that area of the boot.

Still breaking them in, but the height of the boot hits the calf in an uncomfortable spot. I'm hoping that tying them loose and more wear and tear will soften them up so they won't be so tight. Love the durability of this brand, and the look is great too. They are so warm, I've been wearing them around the house as house shoes too. Overall, really Love them :)

I am from Michigan and snow is expected. After going through a few different pairs of boots, I made the investment to buy these boots. They are a great boot for all kinds of cold weather and snow conditions. The only complaint that I have is they are a little heavy when you are walking for a long time but I assume that's because they are great quality. You won't be disappointed with this purchase!

These boots are perfect if you want something to keep your feet warm. I live in South Dakota, I hunt during the winter and my feet stay warm then entire time! They run about a half size big I think. Again, if you want something to keep your feet warm in the winter, these boots will be those go to boots for you.
