This was a very clunky boot. It feels like wearing a ski boot. I am a size 10, and the boot is huge looking. Returning it.

These were a present for my husband for our Colorado trip and he just loved them. My dad has had the same pair since the 70's and his are still in great shape, too. I would highly recommend these boots!

These are great boots....very roomy...which for me is great as I have a wide foot. I didn't order down in size. My toes are cozy warm. They are on the bulky, heavy side...but the fit and warmth far out weigh this (no pun intended) I can walk across the fields with the dogs and never worry about cold feet...I look at the extra weight as adding to the benefit of the exercise I am getting, maybe it will build up my legs a bit more:) Look forward to getting lots of wear from these and I love the pull out liners!

Great boots for the winter we're having in the Midwest. For snowmobiling or outside chores, these work well in the very cold temperatures. A bit clunky and hard to get on (compared to my "cute" Ugg boots) but these are the workhorses.

I've been wearing a pair of leather Uggs for a few years and they are useless in the snow or wet. I live in Atlanta and don't normally have a need for anything more but I enjoy snowboarding and really needed a good pair of boots for my trips to CO and UT. I broke down this year and bought a pair and I'm SO GLAD IT DID! They are wonderful!!! My feet stay dry and warm. I LOVE THEM. Hopefully they will last a good long while.

I live in Upstate NY where we get lots of snow that sticks around for months. I enjoy getting out in it with my golden retrievers and also to feed my birds. The first time I put the boots on I was so surprised at the snug fit because just looking at them they seemed huge. Once outside and traipsing through the snow banks the boots felt like an extension of my feet; no movement inside the boot like with alot of other ones...they were so easy to walk in and great traction too. I've already recommended them to friends so thanks for making a boot that I know will work up here in the North Country for a very long time.

These boots are the only reason my feet stay warm when it's cold outside. I have Raynaud's (very poor circulation in my extremities). If this sounds like you- these boots will probably help you as well! Plus they are very comfortable.

Am extremely happy with these boots. My old boots fell apart this winter ( one of our harder ones) and I was a little stressed with more snow on the way. I ordered these and am happy with the purchase-they are warm, comfortable and easy on/off. A little clunky if you drive a standard but otherwise awesome.

I had these sent to New York when I was going to visit my daughter. By the time I arrived the snow was all gone. I have tried these on and wore them around the house. Similar to others, I find the boots run large and the liners run small. I put the liners on first and then the boots. Maybe they will stretch over time. The boots seem very warm and water tight. I actually hope we get one more snow so I can try them out!

I have heard so much about Sorel boots over the years, I had to find out for myself! I bought a pair of Caribous and I must say, I am impressed! I wore them to take my younger son skiing and my feet were warm the whole time I was out in the snow. They were very comfortable as well! I have spoken to folks who have had Caribous and they have had them for a great many years. I know that I will be saying the same! I love these boots! Keep on making a spectacular product like this and I will be a forever customer. Thanks!

These boots are very warm but run a bit large especially in the width but when I put on a heavy pair of socks they fit much better.

After the big blizzard in Chicago I realized that I need some serious snow boots, I have wanted these for years and I am so happy that I finally have them. My only issue was that the inside lining was too tight so I had some issues taking the boots on and off (I have wider feet so this probably won't be an issue for most people) so I ended up cutting the lining down the middle of the black neoprene area, just enough for my foot to get in and out okay and now they fit perfect. They are so warm and durable, you feel like you can climb a mountain in them and still look cute. I plan on leaving these on until the weather gets above freezing, which in Chicago may be until April.

I bought a pair of gray Caribou women's boots. They are so stylish!! They run a little bit big. I normally wear size 6.5, and their size 6 fits me just right. They are very warm and very durable. If your area snows a lot in the winter, you will definitely need a pair of these!

I love my Caribou boots! I wear a size 11 and ordered a size 10, and they fit perfectly. I got them in black and they ARE waterproof! I absolutely love them. They broke in very well after a few days. They are super warm and I even wear them without socks sometimes! When these get beat up I will definitely get another pair. I will be a lifetime customer!

I got the dark tricolored ones and they feet really nice. My only complaint is sometimes the inner boot gets stuck to my foot, so I have to take them out of the boot and then stuff them back in. Other than that, they're perfect.

These boots are great! I purchased to take on a trip to Alaska in February. My feet were never cold, not once, not even a tiny bit. One adventure had me trudging in snow in sub zero temps. They are a bit clunky so watch how you get in/out of cars and tighter spaces as you cannot guide your feet to sneak by obstacles. For those with wide calves, I did well with these. They were easy to walk in immediately -- no break in.

I have to say, I was hesitant to buy footwear online as I had never done so before. I like to try things on before I buy but due to the dismal selection of boots locally, I went online and found the Sorel Caribou boots. They were in my price range so I just clicked and that was it. They showed up a few days later and fit perfectly. They even look better than the photo. I am extremely satisfied with this pair of boots and would buy from this company again.

I had a pair of sorel boots for 20 years. They still had great tread but the rubber was starting to crack. Really...20 years? Yep. I had no problems replacing them with your product. These boots wear fantastically and are super comfortable. Big thumbs up!

I have fallen on the ice this Winter twice when wearing other boots. I must say that with my Caribous I tromp through snowbanks and across ice just fine! I did notice that they are a bit clunky and heavy at first but once you get used to them they are perfect. They are a bit hard to drive in but it's just like high heels, once you learn it's easy to do. I wear them to commute to work, I wear them to walk the dog, to shovel and to hike in! My feet are always dry and warm and comfortable. I would suggest ordering a half size bigger because my feet are always an 8 but they are snug. Enjoy!

I've been trying to convince my wife that she needed a pair of these boots for years. She is an event planner and is always outside and she is always cold. I finally went ahead and got her a pair. She is in the midst of a two weekend Ice Festival and she loves the boots. She says that she can now stay outside all day without her feet going numb. I am a photographer and I wore mine while I was in Grand Teton National Park while it was -28F. Feet were toasty warm and they have good grip in deep, crunchy snow.

i will say i LOVE my Sorels. I have owned a pair of caribous since 1996- i have replaced 2 liners and i finally had to get a new pair only because the tread is gone. i ordered my usual size 6 and got the new boots and i could barely put my foot in the boot. i was very disappointed. after reading some of the reviews i later took the liner out and put my foot in the boot - they were the correct size- of course big without the liner. then i tried on the liner alone and it was so hard to get my foot into it. then i went to look at my old boots and liners and discovered that the "stretchy neoprene-like" fabric in the front of the new liners was about half the size of the old liners. i am very disappointed in this. but i want to use the sorels so i think i will cut the front of the liners and maybe get a piece of elastic to sew across the opening. sort of like the 1964 PAC liner.

I purchased these right before we got hit with a blizzard here in Chicago. I received them after the storm. Perfect timing because we got 21 inches of snow! I'm a size 7 but ordered a 6 because I tried on a Sorel boot at a department store and knew they run big. When I first tried them on I was nervous because the liner was really tight. It felt too small but I wore them around the house to break them in. The liner loosened up and the fit was perfect. They feel a little heavy at first but you get use to it and they become more flexible after a few uses. I'm a little bummed that the snow has melted! I wanted to wear my boots a little longer. I received alot of compliments and they look really cute with skinny jeans.
