Customer Reviews SOREL Caribou™

I really couldn't be happier with these boots. I ordered them as a holiday gift for myself in early December, and now, in late January, they've been on my feet practically every day! They are very heavy; going for a walk in them is a little like wearing ankle weights. These are not the boots to order if you only have to cope with a bit of light slush every now and then. But for heavy snow, nothing works better to keep your toes warm and your ankles and lower calves protected. I find them surprisingly stylish, too; the black/stone color combo is quite handsome and goes nicely with jeans as well as black pants. I look cute as I clomp! I normally wear a normal width 8.5, so I ordered a 9 and am very pleased. There's plenty of room for an extra pair of heavy socks, and I'm also comfortable just slipping them on barefoot for quick trips outside in the middle of the night. (I'm housebreaking a puppy, not a fun thing to do at this time of year! But these boots make those surprise midnight trips out a breeze.) The lining is very soft and comfortable on bare feet. I know from my family's experience that Sorrel boots can last for decades; my Dad has a pair that are nearly 20 years old. I'm looking forward to spending a lot of winter seasons with mine.

A classic boot that keeps my feet warm and dry when I am out in the (occasional) snow we get in NC and when I am in real snow which I encounter when I visit family in Colorado. Highly Recommended.

I love these boots. I've been stomping around in the snow and my feet are warm and dry! They are definitely big. I even thought I ordered the wrong size when I opened the box but they were right on. I wear a 9.5 and ordered the 10. They are slightly big but nothing uncomfortable and will wear big socks. They are cute with jeans or even skirts.

I normally wear a size 8.5 and bought the Caribou's in size 8. They are huge! They look like a men's boot (because of the size). I am going to try ordering them in a 7 if I can find them! This is the third pair of Sorel's that I have ordered and sent back now. The Cate The Greats and Joan Of Arctic both run really big as well. You can't beat Zappos 1 day shipping and free returns!

These are serious boots. They are solid, warm and very waterproof. They definitely do run big. I usually wear a 10.5 or 11 and ordered these in a 10 (and they are still pretty roomy). The only downside is that they are quite heavy and a little tricky to drive in, other than that- they are a great classic snow boot.

I am in love with these boots. Yes, they are heavier and a bit less flexible than some options. I think your enjoyment of them will depend upon what kind of boot you like. I don't mind that they are big. Living in Upstate New York, I need boots that I can throw on to shovel snow, wade through drifts on the way to work, and that will keep my feet warm and dry. These Sorel's do the job marvelously. The fleece dries very quickly if it gets wet. I wear a 9.5 (I have a narrow foot) and I ordered these in a size 9, which was the right choice for me. I wear medium-weight socks and have enough room to comfortably move my toes.
