Customer Reviews SOREL Caribou™

These boots have gone the distance this year! The coldest winter on record with wind chills -70, cold enough for the city to declare an emergency and close the city! My feet never got cold! Shoveling and snow blowing hours outside and toasty warm. Will always wear Sorels from now on!!!

I bought these because the boots I had been wearing since 2002 (a different brand) had finally given out. I hadn't worn Sorel's since the 1990's when I would go snowboarding as a teen. I forgot how amazing they are comfy, warm, waterproof. I honestly don't do a lot in them but shovel snow and walk, but they're very comfortable and I'd recommend them to anyone. I would say though, because they seem to run larger than my usual shoe size (10 mens in Vans) that you should make sure they fit you well. Definitely make sure they fit well if you plan to do a lot of outdoor activity like hiking and long walks on a regular basis to make sure you don't get a blister. Maybe go a half size smaller unless you're planning to wear thick socks. But one note about thick socks these boots are so warm! You really won't need them unless you're literally going to be in 40 below zero weather, or if your feet are perpetually cold.

I used the steel toed caribou boot in the 1980's when I was in the Material Department of the BN Railroad in Minneapolis. This caribou boot is the same but without the steel toe. It is very comfortable and does keep my feet warm. Ed Burns Retired Railroader, Minneapolis, MN

These boots are wonderful. They keep you warm, dry and protected, everything they should do. Very comfortable.

After sifting through countless reviews I decided to go with my normal size which was a 9. It fits but I think I could have Worn a 9.5 especially with ski socks or thicker socks; however I still have almost a 1/2" thumb width from the toe so I'm keeping them! I would Suggest though to size a 1/2" up if you will wear thicker socks. My ski socks are not overly thick. I purchased The buff color and love the color! I did expect though from other reviews for them to be too clunky or look obnoxiously big; however they are the cutest snow boots I own now! I think they feel like I'm wearing tennis shoes not boots!I'm so happy I chose the buff color, because the buff color goes with anything, such as skinny jeans or worn with my ski gear to walk around in. I have Not had the opportunity to wear them in the snow but they are warm!

My husband regrettably had to retire his last pair of this boot, 30 years after he bought them. We are looking forward to the next 30 years with this pair!!

I purchased these boots as I needed something with good tread so I wouldn't keep falling in any snow or ice. They are awesome!! They fit perfect. They keep my feet warm and dry. Totally worth the money spent on these. Just ordered my husband a pair also!!! You won't be disappointed.

These by far are the BEST snow boots I've ever had. Dry, warm, easy to take off and clean and great traction in the snow. My other pair were stolen at work (which were over 25 years old but looked like new) and I just had to get a new pair. Received just in time of our snow season and could not be happier. Love these boots. Never found another higher quality made boot that works this great.

I bought this boot for my boyfriend for Christmas (because I love my women's version so much) and they were HUGE on him - originally ordered a 10.5 mens. Ended up exchanging for a 9 and they were perfect. This is a timeless and functional boot.

The boot feels wonderful to put on, soft, easy on and off and very forming/comfortable. The boot is also very durable, waterproof and heavy duty. Best of both worlds and cannot say enough great things.

These boots are amazing! I bought them for my sons for our recent trip to Iceland. We were outside snowmobiling in the glaciers all day and their feet stayed warm throughout the day. I highly recommend them! Thank you Sorel!

This boot is true to size and is very warm. I'm looking forward to wearing them for many years to come.

When I was 12, my Dad took me to the hardware store and bought me winter boots, a pair of Sorel pac boots. I loved them so much, I kept wearing them even thought they were too small for my feet. Many years later as an adult, I bought a new pair of boots, another brand. They were decent, but no where near what I expected and that was when I decided someday, I was going to get another pair of Sorels! Well after too many years, I finally order a new pair and got them. WOW! I am not sure what else to say! The quality is unmatched, they fit perfect, they kept the snow and water out and when I put my feet in them, they are so soft it feels like a hug! Thank you Sorel for continuing to make the best boots in the world!

These boots are awesome! SUPER warm and perfect for all types of winter weather! Fashion wise, I like there better than the Joan of Ark boots they work well with snow pants but also looks great with jeans and legging. They do run big, I did buy a size up and returned them as they were huge! I'm a true 7.5 and I still have room in them.

My husband has had a pair of these since the 1980's and they finally cracked on the back heel at the seam so we ordered a new pair. He said they were comfortable from the first day and the quality also looks to be just as high as in the 1980's.

Just received my caribou boots in the shale color and I LOVE them! I could not be happier. They are adorable and stylish and seem like they'll be able to keep my feet dry and warm in the snow. They are extremely comfortable and feel really sturdy. I was worried about which size to order but after reading a few reviews I decided to order half a size smaller. I normally were a 9 but I ordered an 8.5 and they fit perfectly. Cannot wait to try these out in the snow!

This boot runs big. I ordered a 9. I'm usually between a 8.5-9 anyway, so I thought it would be ok. It was at least 2 sizes too big. I ordered an 8 and it fits perfectly! Keeps your feet warm and dry. Best boot I have ever owned.

Very well made, good fit, well insulated/keeps your feet warm. Stylish.

These are my first pair of sorel and i absolutely love them. They keep my feet warm and stylish. I went a 1/2 a size down because i read other reviews they come big in size. They fit perfect. Im a 7 1/2 and got a 7. Highly recommend.

Warm, comfy, has good traction, and all around good boot for snow and cold weather .
