Customer Reviews SOREL Caribou™

The boots are very warm, but I can barely walk in them because they're so stiff. The soles don't bend!

These boots are huge. They were so big it looked like I had cartoon feet. If you plan on being in a blizzard, buy them. If you plan on wearing them for everyday winter, beware - they are hilariously big. I laughed when I pulled them out of the package. It would take me ten minutes to get up or down one flight of stairs. That's all.

This is my second time ordering a Sorel boot and I haven't had any luck. Sorel runs really big in length and width. I am normally a true size 10 and I have a lot in room in my boot. I wouldn't go down a whole size though because I may want to wear a thick sock. The boot looks like it will do the trick to tackle Chicago winters but I am not sure if it is feminine enough. The style is very bulky and makes my foot look huge. I just got them today and I haven't worn them yet so I may return them. I'm disappointed because I want to like them.

They don't make Sorel boots like they used to. I have an older (4 years) pair of Sorel Caribou boots that are wonderful, but I simply wanted another color. The new pair of Caribous I recently ordered, lasted one day before the neoprene tongue ripped out. I compared the two boots and discovered Sorel does not sew the neoprene into the shaft like they used to. On the older pair, the neoprene had what looks like a basting tape around the edge, the new ones are raw neoprene edges sewn onto wool with a single slip stitch, which does not make a whole lot of sense. I hope this boot was defective, but since I did not receive a response letting me know if it was or not, I am assuming it is otherwise, and therefore, I came to the conclusion, the quality of Sorel boots aren't what they used to be.

I'm 'Sorel' sorry. The boots felt fine when I first tried them on, but once I put them to use, I found that the right boot is actually painful to wear. It is digging into my ankle and is not improved with heavy socks. The left boot is great and has plenty of room for my wide foot and bunion. Wish I would have walked around in them longer in the house first before taking them hiking. I would have returned them and tried a different pair.

Huge!! I was looking for a winter boot that would keep my feet warm and dry in cold winter months and snow. The boot looked fashionable. However, when I received them they were huge and looked more like a man's boot. Good style but huge! And I wear a size 7.

So big - These are very heavy and made my feet look enormous, even though they felt a little short (but wide) inside. It must be all the insulation. I was also told that their bulk may make them difficult to drive in. The Cumberlands have a somewhat daintier appearance and were more comfortable, so I went with those.

Boots look good but run a size small. They are very good looking for utilitarian boots, but they run a size too small and are very heavy in weight, so would not be comfortable to walk long distances.

Not for the big girls! If you are plus size, don't bother.

These shoes are very stiff. I've worn them multiple times hoping they would loosen up, but they haven't so my ankles hurt when I wear them. There is ZERO arch support which I thought wouldn't be a big deal since I have flat feet, but it does cause discomfort. I really wish I could return them since they were so pricey and I don't like them, but I've worn them outside multiple times already so I'm past the point of being able to return them. They aren't awful if worn for a short period of time, but if you'll be moving for more than 5 minutes, they're terrible.

I wear a 7w (platypus feet). tried these in a 7.5 and an 8 with heavy socks. They squeezed my toes and were even painful just to try on. Obviously if they hurt when I try them on, they’re not going to get better. Too bad. I hear these are the best. But I won’t get to try them in the snow.

Fit was a tad smaller for size 11 foot; making wearing thicker thermal socks slightly uncomfortable. Very heavy boot as well; so made for not so easy treking. style ok-not as flattering once it got to size 11 in my opinion
