Amazing boots! After 2.5 hours of snow-hiking, my feet were still warm, dry, and comfortable. I'm usually a size 7 - had to send those back and get the 6, which fit perfectly once worn-in.

While these boots were very nice, they were VERY bulky. If I wore them around, my feet would look way too big for my body. The liner was hard to get in and out of the boot. These boots would be great if you are using them for skiing but for walking around campus every day, a bit too much. I will say that they were very nice quality and will last for several years.

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!

Though we don't get massive amounts of snow in Pittsburgh, we get snow and ice, and I've got a couple of Cardigan corgis to walk -- they need lots of exercise, AND they have short legs and therefore a low center of gravity, AND they're entirely made out of muscle and concrete, AND though they're pretty well behaved they sometimes pull me all of a sudden when they see friends or squirrels. So I've been terrified in icy conditions. I've tried many things -- cleats on my boots, other boots, some other boots besides that. But my partner found that these boots had the best tread recommendation, and I bought a pair. They are astounding. They're warm, which is even more than I expected, and the thick sole means that the chill of the ice doesn't get through to my feet. They're heavy enough to give me a lower center of gravity, but not so heavy I can't walk. And several times I've started to slip on the ice, but the tread stops me. I love these boots. If I live long enough to wear them out, I'll buy another pair.

I have been secretly jealous of my husband's Sorels and finally got myself a pair. He uses his all the time, year round for yard work, Klondike camp outs, etc. I am size 9½, so ordered a 10, but returned them for an 11 and still had my toes pinched and squished (I am thin and do not have wide feet). I ended up getting the men's size 9 which fit perfectly, with a little wiggle room for my toes. My husband's pair are almost 20 years old and are the original ones and will probably last forever. The new ones have changed. I love the traction of the older ones. They are still good quality overall. I bought my son the "1964 Vintage" version that look more like the original, but still not the same quality as they used to be. However, I am still in love with my new boots! I leave them loosely tied so I can quickly slide them on to run outside and take care of the chickens or dump our trimmings to the compost bin. I am excited to get out there and work on the yard with my husband. I have no worries about snakes getting through this thick leather. I love the big, important clunk and weight of these boots. They are awesome!

Got my boots, but they were quite large. I normally wear a women's 7 1/2, so I went up to an 8, but my feet were swimming in them. Returning them & getting a 7, based on other reviews that said they loosen up considerably after wear. Can't wait because they are so flippin' cute! They're rugged & undoubtedly tough, but very stylish, too.

Super warm, heavy duty, a bit clunky but don't have to worry about Chicago snow in these babies! The insert makes it nice and snug and without out, it's large enough for my husband to wear. It's like getting two boots for the price of one!

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.

Good looking for a hardy winter boot. Reviews were mixed about whether it ran large or small. I ordered my typical size and could not get right foot into the boot. The other was tight across the instep. Thank goodness I'd also ordered one size larger. I rated the boot based on the larger pair.

I love Sorel. These are my second pair of boots. The first was a different style and struggled to get them on. I have wide feet and my calves are bigger than most so it is difficult to find foots that fit. My first sorrels came up over my calves. I had to give them to my daughter. These are much easier to get on, but I can't tie them. It would be nice if someone made boots for people like me. I even bought them one size bigger but that didn't help. You can't find a better boot than Sorel. Just wish they fit bigger people.

These boots are great to keep your feet nice and toasty. High quality boot. I am normally a size 9, so I ordered a size 9. 9's came and they were too big, so I got an 8. 8 was too tight. I wish Sorel made size 8 1/2... I had to take both back. :( Zappos.com has a great return policy!

I wear a 9 but went with a 10 based on other reviews, wow when I got it, it was huge like putting on my sons boots who wears a mens 11. I should have stuck with the 9. But great boots lots of wool thick lining for a great cold weather boot.

I am just glad to get a size 12 womans shoe and I am sure once we get snow in VT they will work great. Just wish more shoe manufacturers would make shoes in size 12 as the mens equal is too wide and they are not in styles a woman would want. I would love a pretty pair of ladies boots but limited because of size.

I loved this boot. It seemed to be everything I need in a cold weather snow boot. It is comfortable but the ankle did not fit well and was very stiff. Unfortunately I had to return.

I ordered these for hunting to keep my feet warm and that they do. There is plenty of room to wear big socks and they are comfortable to walk in yet durable. Love them!!!

I'm sure this is a very good snow boot but for my size 6 foot it seems a bit heavy. Lacing and getting it snug enough was a bit of a hassle. I'm returning this pair and keeping the Baffin Chloe in Sand.

My primary use for this boot is outside work and activities. These fit perfectly, relatively no break-in period. (Just a little stiff.) I keep them loosely laced for slipping on and off with no retying.
The Caribou is exactly what I was looking for and given the quality will most likely last many years of tough winter work-outs.

I love the color, they are not true to size so I'd wear thick socks since 1/2 sizes are not available.

Books are warm and durable, but a bit clunky. Wish they came in half sizes- 9 is a bit big, but I'm afraid an 8 would be too small. I'll keep the 9's for now. They are still comfortable, even if they are big.

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.
