I love the boots when I am wearing them. The lining is tough to get on and difficult to get off.....They would be better if the middle of the lining (where the tounge would be) was elasticized.

Really disappointed, couldn't get my foot in past the top tight elastic... sending them back. Why did you make the top area so darn tight with no expansion possible?

I got these for Christmas 2011. Had to wait until Christmas 2012 to wear them. They kept my feet warm & dry. A little stiff in the ankles the first couple times I wore them, then they softened up a bit.

So happy to have these boots again. Bought them 20 years ago and just lost them to super storm sandy. They are an easy on and off, warm as toast and great in deep snow.

I have to be honest. I've never been a big fan of the aesthetics of the Caribou line of boots. They are ugly, plain and simple. The women's line shows that Sorel knows style, but I think the men's winter line could incorporate a little more.
That said, these boots are absotutely amazing. Form follows function and the function of these boots is spot on. Warm, comfortable, dry, and well made. The first time I slipped my foot into a pair it was heavenly. Thanks Sorel, boots are awesome, albeit ugly.

I haven't worn these out in the snow yet...will try them out in about 3 days though. They are extremely well made, durable, thick, and warm. They are a true 11 Medium. I am an 11 wide normally and therefore have to wear thin ski socks to accommodate for the lack of width I usually require. (They don't come in wides). But if you wish, you can order the exact same shoe in a man's size if needed. They are not lightweight but instead are pretty heavy. They probably need to be that way for the type of weather they will face.

Worth the money! They get the job done. They'll keep your feet warm and dry, and they've got great traction.

I normally wear a 7.5 but since these boots don't come in half sizes I went to an 8 and I love them! They are warm and cute!!

I am very pleased with these boots. I read the reviews that said they ran a little large, so I went with the 8 (I'm an 8-1/2) and they fit great. I live on an island in northern Michigan and it gets cold here. These boots are very warm and super stylin!!

My daughter bought these for her sister in law for Christmas last year and they were at the top of her list this year! She loves them. They are so sturdy, and arrived almost overnight! Thank you!!

So far these boots have been great. They are a bit heavy and stiff to walk in at first, but give it a few times of walking around for awhile and they will begin to break in. They are also hard to get into for awhile. Those things aside, the boots have most definitely kept my feet toasty and most importantly- dry. You also have pretty great traction and they are easily wiped down.

I am very satisfied with my purchase, because my boots are just the same as they appeared on the web, and I think that I got a good deal for the price did I pay for them, I definitely I recomend this brand, they are very reliable.

These boots are perfect for a ton of snowfall. I live in the Rocky Mountains and over the winter it is essential to have a good pair of boots. found them! They keep my feet warm and dry in the snow. they are a bit clunky so sometimes when I walk home from work or after a day of skiing they feel heavy. But all good, love these.

i followed the advice and ordered a full size smaller as prescribed and while it took a minute to get my feet into the boots with the liners,, after wearing them for a couple of days they feel great and keep my feet toasty warm and fully dry,,, am fully pleased and am already looking at other styles,,,

Can't wait to try these out in Eagle River, WI. This is what the locals wear. Have heard about the Caribou for years and finally bought a pair. The fit runs a little large. Street shoe size is 9 1/2 and a 9 in the boot fits perfect. Very comfortable fit, but the boot is a little difficult to remove. The liner starts to come out. Perhaps cutting the elastic will help. The look of the Caribou is often copied but the original is still the best.

I bought these to go on a ski trip. They are a lot bulkier then they look on the model. I am normally a size 9 to 8.5 so I got the 8 and without socks they swallow my feet but with thicker socks they fit perfectly. If I take the insert out they are really big on me. I have heard wonderful things about their durability and I hope they will last me a long time.

This boot feels like it would keep my feet dry and warm without a problem. Unfortunately the boot ran a little short and I thought a little wide. I did try them on with heavy socks maybe two pair would have help but my toes were already jammed in the toe box.

This product is well worth the money. I ordered one size and had to get a bigger size and Zappos was immediate in shipping the new size before I returned the original order. LOVE Zappos customer service. We ordered TWO pairs of shoes and both were sent secondary orders were sent before the first was received. Kudos. LOVE the boots. Would order a half size larger, but maybe that's just me.

The liner inside this boot fits snug, so DONT order a size smaller or it will be TOO small, and the liner will stretch and rip.
The boots outer shell fits kinda big, which is misleading to people and is why they go to smaller sizes than normal, but thats just the style of boot this is, so dont listen to people on here who say go up or down a size like I did, order your NORMAL shoe size and save the headache.
They don't just slip on easy either, thats BS, even in your right size, with the liner its a bit tricky to get em on. People that say they kick them on and off have chosen sloppy oversized boots. Trust me. Which is why I also read complaints that they are too heavy and bulky! Yea, they would be when they are 2 sizes too big for your foot! DUH

This is my first pair of Caribou boots and they feel very warm inside. They are very bulky but seem to be a very good boot.I ended up getting a whole size smaller and they feel great. I wish it would snow so I could go outside and try them out, but over all I'm very happy with them.

These boots are huge. The rubber part on the bottom is very wide. They are cute and stylish but I just felt like I had too much on my foot. They were too heavy, so I returned them.
