Customer Reviews SOREL Caribou™

After wearingand loving my size 7 white Sorel pac-boots for more than 45 years, (worn even this morning, tho' I replaced the liners about 15 years ago.) The soles are starting to wear through the outside rubber at the heels. Ordering a new pair, I thought that a size 8 would be more than big enough. Not so. I couldn't even get the boot all the way on -- and had a heck of a time getting it off my foot. I sent them back, but (1) now unsure about sizing (foot is wide in front, but low volume) and did not really like the black and tan effect for me (combo looks okay for my husband). In addition, I really prefer the flat "crinkled" sole to one with a heel (snow tends to gather up where the sole and heel meet.) I was so disappointed!

I RECENTLY PURCHASED SOME SOREL BOOTS AFTER A CO-WORKER SUNG IT'S PRAISES ON HOW DURABLE AND WORM THE BOOTS ARE. BY-THE-WAY HE'S OWNED THE SAME PAIRS FOR THREE YEARS AND NOW AND CONSIDERING BUYING NEW ONES AND ASKED ME ABOUT MINE. AS A FLIGHT ATTENDANT WITH A PART-TIME JOB AT TRADER JOE'S THESE BOOTS COME IN HANDY FOR US BECAUSE IT GETS COLD IN THAT FREEZER AND FROZEN SECTION OF THE STORE, IN FACT I HAVE HAD A FEW CO-WORKERS COMPLIMENT ME ON MY SOREL. WHAT I AM PERPLEXED ABOUT IS IT IS WORM INDEED BUT I THINK THERE MIGHT BE A DEFECT IN MINE BECAUSE AFTER WEARING THEM IN THE SNOW THE NEXT DAY MY SOCKS AND BOOTS FELT WET INSIDE, BUT SOON DRIED QUICKLY! I THINK THEY MIGHT NOT BE SEALED RIGHT! I WORE THEM AND AM NOT SURE IF I CAN GET THEM EXCHANGED OR LOOKED AT? ANY SUGGESTIONS? NOT QUITE HAPPY WITH MY SORELS AT THE MOMENT!

At first I loved these boots. Bought a pair on Nov 24, now, a little over a month later i'm returning them because they have cracked real bad around the toe area, letting the water in. Bummer, I thought because I spent so much, they would last longer than two months.

I was very much looking forward to the arrival of these boots. I am a 7.5 and ordered the 8 and the first time I wore them I realized that they were way too big. I really love them but I already wore them and have to keep them but maybe I will find someone that can take them and I can order a size 7. Other than that they really keep your feet warm and dry and they are great in the snow. We just had a snow storm and I wore them to walk around it and it was great except for the fact that they are way too big.

Unfortunately, I had to return the boots. The sizing was wrong for me. The boot with the liner was way too narrow in the ankles and foot. The liner did not sseem to fit the boot. Without the liner, the boots were way too big in the toe area (even with heavy socks or two pairs of socks). The boot itself was great. I wish they had fit.

The shoe was just too much. We had to send it back. My husband was looking for a city snow boot and these boots just took over. You have to wear the pants tucked in and that didn't look good or feel good. We had to pay a huge shipping fee to return them and a small shipping fee to get them. I have been spoiled by the fee-less sites, but they are very convenient when buying shoes that you have never tried on.

I ordered these boots for my husband. He wears a 9 1/2 so I ordered a size 10. He could not even get his foot into the boot. I don't understand why they can't make wide widths. As it turned out, they fit my son fine so I gave them to him and ordered a larger size for my husband and if they don't fit, back they will go

Ordered a size 7.5 black and received a size 7 gray. The item itself may be fine but the process of ordering through Zappos has been bad.

ok. I have always loved the caribou boots but the last two pairs I have had lasted only one year before the rubber cracked. I live in montana where the winters tend to be cold and long so I wear the boots a lot but I am thinking they should last longer than one year. I see this comment a lot so it is obvious there is a problem. I want to like them but the cracking rubber just won't let me.

I purchased these boots in November 2021 and I wore them through the remainder of winter with no problem. This most recent winter the rubber began cracking at the bend points of the boot and because I have owned them for 16 months there is nothing that can be done. Would not recommend unless you are wanting to replace them every year/every other year.

1st pair lasted 15 years Not as comfortable as 1st pair the sole is different and you can feel the rubber bumps when you walk

Soles delaminated after 30 times worn. Unacceptable for this price point.

Safety concern - BEWARE! I purchased these boots for the snow - and while they do feel comfortable and keep you warm - there is absolutely no traction on floor when going indoors. We went to a restaurant while in the snow, and naturally the floors are wet from tracking in snow. There is absolutely no traction on floor - I slipped, flew in air, and fell on my back/head. I'm thankful I wasn't carrying my baby at the time. Extremely unsafe and do not advise purchasing. You can't expect people to take off their snowboats when going in a restaurant or store.

Comfortable, warm but a complete pain taking the boots off. Once you take the boot off the complete lining of the boot comes out. These boots would be great if this didn't happen, Every single time!

Way too bulky. Didn't like how they looked on my feet.

Returns cost money and shipping (even expedited) takes forever. Buy from somewhere else! PS. They sure don't make them the way they used to...

I bought this boot along with a pair for my wife over one month ago. She got her pair along with a photo confirmation of delivery. I do NOT have my boots. Said they were delivered but there was no photo confirmation. Sorel opened an investigation with lazership and still no answer. Customer service seems like they have their hands tied. These boots will not make for great springtime footwear! Refund my money or send the boots!

Used less then 5 times, rubber upper became unglued from base and split down to the toe. Very disappointing at this price point, I have another pair of everyday boots that have zero issues. Bought these to shovel the driveway or go sledding on the handful of times we get snow each year. Being they are over a year old no warranty.
