I bought these for trips to snowy areas, Massachuchets and Colorado. They did the job, but I would not recommend this style for others. I found the boot to be very heavy and hard to tie tightly. Additionally, it fit great everywhere except the toe are. It narrows greatly at the toes in the inside liner. Had the liner been a touch larger in the toe area, the boot would fit great. It was however great at keeping my feet dry!

The boot shaft is very stiff and doesn't flex when I walk. Therefore, The top of the shaft cuts into my shin. The sizing runs big by about 1/2 a size.

I just bought my second pair so I have no idea how this pair will do. The last pair were great and lasted 7 years. Unfortunately, the evaluation is requested even before it has adequately snowed here. Whoever is sending out the requests for reviews needs to take a look at the weather and send out the request for reviews after adequate weather has taken place to confirm the quality. It's stupid to write a review of an untested product, and that's what the review program is asking of me.

This seems to be great for really snowy winters. They're very insulated with a thick sole that will protect feet from the ground but be prepared to lug around a very heavy boot. It's incredibly heavy but I guess that's necessary to be effective. I didn't keep them as I don't think that's necessary for NY but if you live someplace north these would be great

I bought these boots for a trip to Norway where I would be wearing them in a lot of snow and ice. As mentioned in another review, they are slippery on ice. I slid backwards down an icy sidewalk & luckily was stopped by the person behind me. I stood outside from 6-10 hours, (looking for northern lights), & they were warm enough wearing 3 pairs of socks & they are definitely waterproof, but the size & lack of grip made them hard to walk in. Overall I wasn't satisfied & would not recommend.

A friend recommended I get Sorel boots so that I can enjoy football season outside during winter. I was excited to try out these Sorel Caribou boots, even though they are the ugliest boots I have ever seen. Well, I couldn't even get my foot inside the boot--even with the laces opened all the way. So I'm sending them back.

These boots are absolutely gigantic. They not only run large in sizing, but are also just big and bulky. I ended up returning them due to sizing, but even if they had fit, I would not have kept them.

I have a pair of tall, quilted Keens that I’ve owned for years. They have gotten me through playing in the snow with my son and also look nice enough to wear to work with leggings and a sweater. Lately I had noticed that they were getting damp after wearing them outside. My feet were getting cold and as is pretty typical with Keens, the footbed starts to hurt after a while. So I was on a mission to find something new that was comfortable, more weather proof but still trendy. Not easy with snow boots. I’d been eyeing this style for a while. After reading endless reviews and seeing them go on sale, I decided to take the plunge. What a bummer. Although the boots ‘look good’ right out of the box, they were SO big and clunky. I felt like I had cinder blocks on my feet! I literally had a hard time walking. The foot bed was hard and they were very stiff overall. Sadly they are going back.

I purchased these to have a boot to wear in the cold weather in Minnesota and for the Iowa snows. These boots fit large and made my size 8.5 feet look like a mens 11. They were very warm, but felt heavy and too large to walk properly in. I ended up exchanging them for a 1964 PAC 2 which are the warmth I was looking for along with the size.

Nice looking warm winter boot, but I really think they are marked wrong. I normally wear a 10 and I originally purchased these for my daughter who is an 8.5. She couldn't wear them as they were so big. I wear them now instead and like I said, I am a size 10 and they feel a little big on me too. I would have exchanged them, but of course my daughter never told me until a year later that they were so big.

These boots were very heavy and bulky because of the rubber front. The tread was also very heavy duty. Sadly, I'm returning them.

The boots were comfortable however mine were too large and therefore had to be returned. Other than the fit too large, which I now know I have to go to a retail store to try on, they would have been perfect. The style of the caribou was super cute, stylish and very warm. Once I try on at a store I'm sure these boots will last a VERY long time.

I live in New York, and I needed something that was really good for the snow, but I have to say while these are such great boots and I'm sure would be amazing in areas where you get tons of snow all the time, they are just way too heavy and bulky. I would recommend for those who are looking to wear something that will keep them warm and still be able to function (I commute daily on the train, the bus, and walk a lot), stay away from these. I just ordered the Winter Fancy boots so hopefully those will be great for day to day and snow as well :)
In terms of fit, I'm usually an 8.5-9, I sized down to an 8 and it fit perfectly.

I bought these boots mainly because of how they looked and the potential to be a great shoe for the snow. However, they did get returned for two reasons. Although the size in length was true, the boot is wider then anticipated. I did put on a thick sock, but still felt there was no width support when walking. The other problem was the weight of the boot. There is a lot of rubber and leather which made them heavy and again less controllable. So between the width and weight I felt this boot was too clunky. Looked good on your foot though!

I really wanted to love these; however, I’m looking for what sorel used to have. These are just incredibly bulky and heavy duty (great if you’re using them for work) I just really wanted something that was cute comfortable and functional. These are NOT cute lol.

I loved these boots the minute I seen them- I ordered the shale gray- I was very disappointed when they arrived- I was so excited tried on immediately and these boots are HUGE and HEAVY. I am normally a 9-10 depending on the style of the shoe and i ordered a 9 in these and they are just way to big and bulky. I literally feel like a man. Is there a way of returning somehow-I did order online and i love them i just need a smaller size :(

These are heavy and clunky. The bulk made them hard to walk around. If you want them as a snow boot, they’re probably ok. But if you need more functionality for running errands, then not good.

This boot was VERY warm. I loved it for that reason. It was a little too klunky for me though. I wanted to be able to run around outside with my son and walk to work easily. I felt that I could not do this with ease in these boots. They ran slightly big also.

These ran huge on me. They also felt like they would be slippery on icy sidewalks. These might be cute for apres ski, but not really practical for daily use. I returned them.

These boots are only suitable for some one with extra wide feet, big chubby ankles and extremely thick calves.
