Customer Reviews SOREL Caribou™

I recently purchased these boots and couldn't be happier! They are comfortable and I can tell they will keep my feet warm during the cold winter! Great boot!

Parents Caribou are still going strong after 15+ years, now our teenager needed a new pair of snow boots. Very cool in the black/dark stone color. Thus far all the Sorel boots we had could be relied upon to keep our kids feet warm in the worst of conditions, looking forward to getting these tested in the snow.

This boot gets the job done. Stylish and functional - holds up to the test staying warm in really frigid temperatures, and staying dry, submerged in snow for a duration. Get lots of compliments about how "great" my boots are and look. Love Sorel, love these classics.

These are the best boots I've owned! I took these boots to northern Minnesota to the Boundary Waters on a winter camping trip where temperatures reached -30 degrees and my feet were toasty warm even in the waist high snow! I also wore these walking around at school during the tundra that hit Minnesota in January and my feet stayed warm . These are a great investment!

I practically live in Canada, and the winters are very cold, snowy, and last ~ 5-6months. I looked through the reviews for picking out the size that would best fit me. I run anywhere from a 7-8 in women's depending on the brand. I decided to go with the 8 and they have the room for me to wear a bulkier sock. I found that Sorel boots really are best for the winters up here, and recommend them to everyone.

I just purchased this boot for my daughter, who has recently joined a Scouting BSA troop and has been enjoying winter camping - these are very comfortable and warm!

After looking for a high-quality good-looking boot I settled with the Sorel Caribou. The fit and comfort pales in comparison to other boots I tried. The waterproof seam sealed was a must when shopping here in Lake Tahoe but what makes this boot great is the ability to remove and wash the removable ThermoPlus felt inner liner and the looks can't be beat. Watch how you will catch others looking at your boots they are eye-catchers. Richard

I have always loved Sorel's but my husband had never worn them until this pair. We were dealing with a longer then usual winter for our area and it was time for him to experience these boots. He is so impressed with the quality and fit of these boots. Others he had tried were never true to size as these boots are. Even though they are rated down to -40 degrees they have not become too warm, making his feet sweat which is another problem with lesser boots. He really likes the soles too as they gripe the snowy ground and hasn't felt the need to add extra traction to them when runny around. We both highly recommend this boot to others and plan to purchase more Sorel's in the very near future.

I had a pair that I found a few years ago at a DSW that were a size too small, but wanted to try these out. I liked those boots so much that it was time to buy a size that fits because they are great!!!

I grew up on a ranch in Montana so reliable snow gear was a constant necessity from October to April. When I turned 13 my mom bought me a pair of Caribou's in a bizarre coming-of-age family tradition...I was freed from cheap plastic snowboots that let snow pack around your ankles or crack after a month of sledding on the weekends. I remember her making a big deal out of it and I wasn't all that excited as a teenager to get these clunky boots (Ever a planner, she bought a size 10 - I even now only wear size 8.5 - so I could always wear thick socks and grow into them) but I don't know that I've ever loved or used a pair of footwear as much as those Caribous. They got me through the cold winters of junior high, high school, and then became my go-to commute boots in college. That brings us to present day. My trusty first pair (just as reliable as 20 years ago) lives on at my parents' house for my use when I visit in the winter months but I recently got a second pair to have with me (now in Seattle) that I plan on having for the rest of my life. I am pleased to report that they are the correct size (ordered an 8 as indicated by Sorel's sizing chart - fits with just enough room for some cozy socks) and this time in the black, to switch things up a bit. I use them every weekend for pre and post cross-country ski adventures and plan on using them for winter treks next season. These are not the sleekest profile boot, but that's not why I get or love them - they are the warmest, comfiest, and highest quality, functional boot I've ever had the pleasure of wearing.

Lightweight warm and comfortable in snow, slush. I wear a men's size 11 shoe and ordered a 10.5 in these boots as others have suggested, and they are perfect. Happy to recommend these boots!

These are amazing! They look just like the picture and run true to size. They're great for walking on snow and ice. Prior to purchasing these, I struggled to keep my footing while walking my dog. These have been a major game changer. Not only am I able to maintain my balance, but these also keep my feet super warm and dry.

Disclaimer: I'm a size 8, and ordered an 8.5 -- which I regret, as the boots wound up being a tad too large for me, even with a double layer of wool socks. HOWEVER: I was out in Anchorage for about a week volunteering for the Iditarod. and these boots were very comfortable. The fact that they were just a bit too large didn't impede function at all. I was outside traipsing around in snow 90% of the time, and not only did these boots keep my feet totally warm, but dry.

I am so glad I bought these boots!! They are beautifully styled and do the job they were designed to do. They are so warm and toasty I couldn't believe I was walking through snow! I got plenty of compliments too! I'm glad I listened to advice to get a half size smaller because that worked out well. They are very roomy! I'm normally a 7 1/2 but got a 7. Also I didn't find them too heavy at all. I can't say enough good things about these boots, they're just perfect. I got the black colourway.

This is my third pair of Sorel snow boots in the last 40 years, so I can say they are durable. The Caribou is the style I've worn for the last 20 years. I just bought the newest version. The new, improved sole provides superior traction on ice and snow. I think it's important that customers know that this boot snugs up tight against your legs or pants so even if you're in snow that's deeper than these boots your feet stay warm and dry, no snow will fall in to your boots, so you do not need a taller boot.

I purchased these to replace my husband's 20+ year old pair. They were replaced, not because of any defect, but because gel foot warmers had melted themselves into the boot. Here's to 20 years in the new pair!

This is the first time purchasing Sorel boots. Normally I buy Timberland because I have been wearing forever and they also sell quality boots at an affordable price. However this year, I bought Sorels during their end of year sale and couldn't be happier. Great value at price and feels good on your feet.

I was looking for a more casual fitting boot to use around the resorts and around town while in Tahoe. I also wanted a boot that was easier to drive in. I also have the Sorel Conquest boots, which are a more substantial but stiffer boot. The Caribou boots are much easier to wear casually and are exactly what I was looking for. As for sizing, I wear a 10.5 in running shoes. I wear a 9.5 and 10 in dress shoes and chukka style boots. I tried a 9.5 and 10 in the Caribou boots and the 10 fit better.

These were recommended by a friend. Bought a pair for me and a pair for my daughter. We absolutely LOVE them! They look great on and keep our feet SO warm. Only boots I will ever buy again! We live in San Diego but go to Big Bear throughout the winter! Thank you Sorel!

I bought this boot to replace a similar pair that were 12 years old which have packed out a bit. They are warm, waterproof and very comfortable. I use them at work as a ski school greeter for the Breckenridge Ski resort. They look very attractive with my down skirt and tights. These are the BEST boots ever! I will take my old pair to VT where I have a second residence. I bought a half size larger so I could wear woolly socks with them.

The women's Caribou boots by Sorel came to my attention at just the perfect time! I live in Minnesota and this winter's been a doozy for shoveling and snow blowing. It used to be that I would stay fairly warm...except for my feet. These boots changed that! They are so comfortable and solidly built. Though I am definitely ready for Spring, the women's Caribou boots helped to make this winter much more enjoyable!

Received my boots last week and have been wearing them in minus double digit weather with the wind chill much colder here in Minnesota and they are the absolutely warmest boots! I had to replace my 25 year old pair of Sorel's finally and these are as warm if not warmer and lighter than my old pair. Totally happy with the purchase.

The online process is simple, the correspondence on status up dates for shipping and delivery are exceptional. These boots look and feel great on and are true to size, I couldn't be happier with my purchase. My wife and kids are looking at all the options sorel has in foot ware and they will probably be purchasing in the near future
