Customer Reviews SOREL Caribou™

Bought a 10, normally wear a 9.5, figured for a winter boot with thick socks it would fit. It was closer to an 11. The tongue of the shoe is attached to the top and the shaft is narrow. Cute boot, did not work.

I wanted to love these because I have always admired the classic style and I wanted some better to face the Chicago winters with but the fit was very off on these boots. The one thing I was not expecting was how tight the boot was around the ankle. Would be a great feature if it didnt feel like it was cutting off my circulation. On the opposite end of the spectrum the foot part of the boot was way too big, and I ordered a half size down from normal. The bottom of these boots are also much bigger and heavier than I thought. I'm returning them for something a little lighter.

The biggest winter mistake; ordering these instead of LL Bean boots. I've lived in some cold and wet places: Maine, Boston, Central Illinois, and I HATE these boots every time I have to wear them. They have no arch support, actually they have less then 1/4 inch of plastic and cheap lining between you and the ground. If you stepped on a pea, you would feel it through the boot. The fit is horrible, it's not a narrow boot width wise, but the vertical amount of room they allot for your toes is way too thin, especially if you are wearing heavy socks. Every time I wear them my toes fall asleep from being pinched. The tread is laughable, absolutely no grip. The lining is NOT warm. Unless your toes are toasty hot when you put these boots on, expect some frozen numb (from cold and pinching) toes by the time you take them off. I cant wait for these to fall apart so I can go back to Bean and their far superior boot for the same price tag.

Loved the look of these boots. Very stylish. However, 2 major drawbacks has me not being able to wear them. 1. They are extremely heavy. I mean in the neighborhood of a 2 or so pounds each. That's a lot of weight on your legs and back. And if you're already drudging through the snow, making your feel 5 or so pounds heavier is really tough. That, however, I could deal with. The deal-breaker for me was 2. The soles of these boots are unbelievably slippery on non-concrete surfaces, including, but not limited to: manholes, stairs. subway platforms, tile, marble, and just about anything else that is even remotely smooth. I live in NYC and wore these during the last snow storm. When I was strictly on concrete, they were awesome. As soon as I was over a manhole, or a sidewalk grate, which are everywhere here, I felt very unsteady. Now down to the subway platforms and I honestly felt like it was possible that I could die. I can't tell you how many times I was slipping on the tile and had to catch myself from falling. As much as I love the style of these boots, I can't risk wearing them here in the city.

These boots are not made the way they used to be. I was unable to put these boots on because of the tight lining from the shaft down to the boot. I am so disappointed! I cannot answer all the survey questions because I could not get the boots on.

These are gigantic! If you have wide feet, look no further, these are the boots for you. I ordered in my regular size (9) and felt like I was waking around in big slippery boats. I just can't emphasize enough how wide these are! The rubber fronts would bend at the fabric and my feet would slip and slide around all over. Order at least half a size smaller! Oh yeah, and this is all written while wearing two pairs of socks in the boots, one being thick wool.

This boot is very cute and I was very excited until I got to try it on. The insert is very narrow and tight (hard to get my foot into), however the boot by itself was way to big. Sorry I had to return because it is a nice looking boot.
