Customer Reviews SOREL Caribou™

I want different boots. Theyre waterproof, ok. . They’re warm, fine. But they poke me in the shin. Also, I just hate to put them on.. They’re so heavy. It feels like I’m stripping cinderblocks on my feet. I’m always trying to find a reason NOT to wear them.

I purchased these while my friend purchased them in the nylon version in the same size. These were much wider and less flattering. Very warm but very wide, could easily be a men's boot.

Boots look nice, but do not keep the feet warm. Pretty disappointed overall. Had them for 2 years and can't be outside for more than 10 minutes with them. Temp sits single digits to 30F

I used your fit guide and rather than sizing down I ordered exact size as I like to wear heavy socks. My foot measurement was 11 so based on your guide I should have ordered 10.5. I ordered 11 and really wished I had ordered a 11.5. The 11 works with athletic socks but now way would they fit with heavy socks. I have yet to wear them as our winter is really mild.

Stunned with the quality of these boots. I have only ever gotten sorel shoes living in the Midwest and these feel cheap, sound cheap and are quite uncomfortable. The way the shoe is designed dogs into my Achilles and make it really tough to walk longer distances.

I bought the Caribou in gray about 9 years ago and only have worn them maybe 10 times. I live in Minnesota, so I thought these would be great to wear during the winter. The reason I don't use them as often as I would love to, is because they are too dang difficult to get on and off my feet. The felt liner is snug, yes I understand that, but the problem is the actual boot itself. The opening is too small and the material is too stiff. It almost feels as if I might break my ankles trying to get the boots onto my feet. Once I do, they are heavy and clunky, which is great for slushy ice walks. But if you plan to be driving or doing a lot of walking, maybe try something else. I really wished these would have worked out in my favor, but I'll be searching for something more easy to wear.

Husband bought this boot round a year ago, works outside shoveling and plowing, and after just a few months of wear, the sole of one boot separated from the boot and he had to have it repaired. Now with less than a month of shoveling again, he has to have the OTHER boots sole reattached to the boot! Back in the day, we NEVER had issues with our Sorels, never needing repair, and wearing them for YEARS; I am SO disappointed in Sorel current quality, and will not purchase ever again...

Boots are narrow around the toes, clunky and not feminine at all. Look like men's boots. Returned.

I'm surprised by the general consensus that these boots are true to size. Also surprised that the website instructs you to order your normal size. If you click on sizing it says to size down if you're inbetween sizes, which i would not consider the case for me. I wear 12 or 13s. I got these in 12s and they are too big. Other than the size the boots seem great. 2 stars for bad sizing and bad sizing instructions on the site.

To be totally honest, I bought these in hopes that they would be the warmest boot that I have ever worn. I am sorry to report that my feet have in fact been cold in these boots multiple times.

I just replaced my 25 yr old Sorels... I am soo disappointed with my new Sorels... the liners in the new ones are so flimsy, not even close to being as thick & warm as my old liners. Smh... everything made nowadays is cheap crap.

I bought these at the end of last season, and just wore them on a very cold and windy day. My feet are freezing, and the temps were nowhere near the "-40" they advertise--more like 15-degree wind chill. I wear thick wool socks; the rubber just isn't insulated at all. It's like going out in rain boots, for goodness' sake! I had Sorels that lasted me over 20 years, but these are another quality altogether, what a shame. The previous boots weren't even high-end, like these are, but Sorel doesn't sell that style anymore. The rubber was different; this really is rain-boot rubber.

I love these boots, and having known and worn Sorels when we could afford them, they were so warm. I thought for the cost they would be warm. My feet are cold after a few minutes outside. Even with 2 pairs of warm socks. Rather unfortunate. I'm not certain what the rating is, but after -10 my toes are freezing!

Not satisfied. Used in Alaska. Temperatures around 25-30F and they couldn't keep my feet warm.

The shoe is extremely bulky and heavy and not true to size. I ordered my size and it was felt like a whole size too big.
