Customer Reviews SOREL Caribou™

These boots are huge compared to most typical women’s boots- not in shoe size but the overall boot. They look enormous on my feet. Additionally, they are HEAVY. I can’t imagine moving very far in snowy conditions wearing these boots. It is also very hard to get them off without completely pulling out the insole with my foot.

I've had a pair of well-loved, tried-and-true Sorels for 10 years that I've finally had to replace, so I went ahead and ordered these boots. Unfortunately I was really disappointed in this fit. They have the weirdest sizing--simultaneously way too big and way too small. Upon opening the box I was amazed by how gigantic and clunky these were: they were a women's size 9.5 but looked like a men's size 12. However, when I went to try them on, I could barely fit my foot inside due to how tight the boot shaft was. I usually wear orthotics but there was no way I could fit my foot in along with them (I could barely fit it in without the orthotic!). I was really looking forward to these boots but they did not meet expectations.

Nice to look at but I couldn’t get my foot in! Instep is very tight and stiff and the liner slides down as I was trying to pull on.

These do not keep your feet warm and seem to just keep the cold coming up right through the sole. I got these a few years ago and they never really kept my feet that warm, but I wanted to like them. Now that my daughter is older and we are playing in the snow a lot more my feet get so cold. I did get a hold of the company to ask about it and they said I should try thicker socks.

I gave these as a Christmas gift. These boots have split along the sides near the bottom and leak. I would like to return these for a refund and buy a different pair from Sorel.

I originally bought these as the "classic" snow boots. My dad always had a pair growing up, so why should I stray from that path. Everyone knows dad is always right. The are stylish as all hell, but that's about where my likeability of these boots ends. They are so freakin heavy they are pretty much useless for anything besides sitting around. The only thing I use them for now is snowmobiling. I tried to wear these a 12 hour day shoveling and I was exhausted afterwords, not my arms or back from the snow, but just my legs from lugging these iron boots around. When I go work in the snow now, I just wear my regular work boots, I don't care if they get wet. My waterlogged Timberlands are half the weight of these things dry. Also, the giant hooks for the laces is a plain dumb design. They are impossible to get as tight as you need them, so unless you have a nice pair of super elastic socks, you can expect your socks to be bunched up around your ankle a half hour after walking around in these things. Would NEVER buy these again or recommend that anyone I know buy these.
