The quality for the price is excellent. To top that off, they're comfortable, warm, have great grip, keep your feet dry and they're super cute!

I've had a pair of these for 24 yrs. I conditioned the leather annually and washed the liner. Replaced the liner a few times. Repaired a few eyelets. They have received heavy use for atleast 5 yrs of that doing outdoor wilderness jobs. Spent a few winters in AK. The tread is worn down or else I wouldnt be looking for another pair. Way worth every penny. That being said conditioning the leather has been key to their survival.

Received today just in time for our snow we got. These boots are a bit stiff, but cute and sizing is spot on! Love

Although it hasn't been cold or wet enough to even wear them yet the boots look very well made and I like the looks of them. I did try them on on a short time and they seem very comfortable and warm!

I just bought theses boots for a trip in Duluth to keep my feet warm. So uncomfortable and heavy and gave me sores on the back of my ankles z I dont recommend this boot at all. Very disappointed in my first and probably last pair of boots I buy from this company unless its made right.

Boots were much too narrow and despite a long call with a customer service rep I was not able to figure out which size to order. Returning the boots was difficult. I will not be ordering a new pair but have just ordered a different brand. This is sad considering that these were to replace a pair of sorel so have had for 40 years.

I live in Minnesota so I need actually warm and legitimately waterproof boots. These are both for sure. Literally warm feet after snow blowing for an hour at -22F. No exaggeration. Also very comfortable for boots, easy to wear all day with no issues.

Not great fit -- way too tight in the toe near the area where rubber joins upper. Also very stiff. Liked the fit better than Joan of Arc however.

Great boot. High quality. Wide toe box. Solid insulation. Heavy. Not for athletic endeavors. Looks great, stays warm, perfect for sledding, spectating, or a walk in the snow.

For size reference, I’m a true 8 and I always order an 8.5 with Sorels because I wear super thick wool socks with my winter boots. I do not agree that they run large, unless maybe you are wearing a thin cotton sock. I personally love these boots. I live in Colorado and warm boots are a must. I find these to be just as warm, but much lighter than the Joan of Arctic style. I’m confused by the other reviews. These are boots geared towards being in snow and are rated for -29*. They are not going to be chic, fashionable, lightweight boots to just wear out on the town. They are meant for being out in snow and super cold weather. If you are getting a snow boot for -20* weather, it’s going to be a little clunky. However, compared to other winter boots, these are pretty good looking and nice.

Real leather, feels very sturdy. A bit bulky but they insulate very well. Seem like very reliable winter boots.

A few years ago I decided it was time to retire my Sorel's I had since I was 10-12 or 25ish years. Bought these. Use only to walk from house or work to the car and back. Occasionally for walks. Nothing as crazy as when I was young and played in the snow for hours on end. After 1 season, maybe less, the sole started to wear through on the inside so it is just the empty squares (I bought some liners in so I couldn't feel pattern of the soles and make it it so I could continue using). Beginning of this winter season (start of 4th winter of wearing these) found a crack in the top of the foot area so if the liner gets wet when snow touches the boot. Bought flex seal so I can continue wearing them the rest of this winter. The quality of Sorel seems to have gone down hill. Maybe sorels are now a fashion line instead of a real quality outdoor boot. Will be researching other brands. And I used to recommend Sorel's to anyone looking for a good quality winter boot

My feet get cold within 30 minutes working outside. I've tried regular, wool, and a combination of socks - makes no difference. Very disappointed.

Great boots. Sizing guidance says they are true to size. Mine were snug at first but perhaps the liners compressed or something after a few wears. Now I float around in them. Disappointing. I recommend buying a size or half size down.

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

I have been using my Caribou boots again this year in what has been a cold, wet and snowy winter here in Idaho. They never disappoint. I guess I should wait a little longer to see how they hold up as they are only 38 years old. Bought in LA in 1984 because I saw most of the ski resort people wearing them every day so, good enough for me. I won't be reporting back in 40 years again as I will be long gone, but I will instruct my heirs to report back.
