Customer Reviews SOREL Caribou™

very nice boots. great looking, warm and high quality! I liked the web sites because they had more variety of styles and sizes than department stores.

Lived in MI all my life and have yet to find boots that keep my feel warm. The next couple months will tell if I've found my pair! The boots feel great on my feet due to the thickness of the liner. The soles of the boots will keep your feet off the ground a good inch or more so I'm hoping for warmth!

I was really concerned about these boots because although they look gorgeous in pics a number of reviewers said they were heavy. I'm petite, 5'2 and they aren't heavy at all. Sturdy perhaps which is exactly what I need to ensure I don't fall in the snow and ice during one of Boston's increasingly common crazy blizzard winters. These boots are warm, stylish and I feel good in them. Pleased I invested in these. I'm tired of replacing Uggs every year.

These are the best boots I have ever, and will probably ever own. They are comfortable, waterproof, good looking, and well build. They are so solid I feel as if I could go hiking on a snowy mountain, and my feet wouldn't feel a drop of water. I have wide size 13 feet, and its very difficult for me to find shoes. Though these are 12s, they can fit very comfortably, with some room left.They are also a bit clunky, but thats to be expected with heavy winter boots like this. The last NY winter was awful, and completely destroyed my shoes. Now I cant think l of how I could survive without these boots.

Have them for 16yrs. Just wear them when I sell at the farmers market each year.Make sure you wear woolen socks and your feet will never feel cold again.

I've worn Sorels for hunting since the early 80's. Thank you for a great product.

I live in New England. After Sorel was recommended to me over a popular pair of boots by a well-known Northern New England outdoor clothing / boot manufacturer from one of their own staff - I knew I had to get a pair. Massachusetts was buried in snow during the 2014-15 winter season. Defeated, I bought these boots at the end of January thinking it was impulsive - we would not get much more snow, and I was wrong! We got crushed! These boots were everything I needed to get through this brutal winter. I never slipped in them, never got water in them, they were perfect! I ordered shale, and the color is beautiful too! They're a bit on the heavy side - but that's necessary for the quality and performance. They run a little large - but that is key to being able to wear a pair of good wool socks, and also to tuck loose pant legs into. Plus, they look good as new even after the abuse they took. I can tell I have many, many more winters using my Sorel Caribou Boots. Best impulse buy ever!

Be advised that these boot's run a full size large. If you are normally an 7 across the board, order a 6. As long as you order the correct size, these boot's are comfortable, warm & waterproof. A little heavy, but depending on what you're doing, that may not be a bad thing.

No boot I have ever owned matches these boots for sub zero NY weather. It gives me confidence on the worst days that at least my feet wont freeze or get cold when I leave the protection of the house. Sorel, its my Go to Boot.

I bought a man's boot as I have a very wide foot and I was extremely pleased with this boot. I was out in below zero weather in Alaska for 10 days and never had cold feet! Highly recommend this boot.

Bought these for my girlfriend after a brutally cold snowmobiling trip to Vt. a few weeks ago. Her old boots couldn't handle the subzero temps. Record cold & snow in the NE this winter. Went back to Vt. last weekend for another trip and her feet were so warm & toasty she was running around in the deep white stuff like a little girl again. These boots are WARM, comfortable & stylish!

Bought these for my son, because I've had two pairs in the last 30years and feel they are the best winter boots for the money. They fit correct and they work great in these great NH winters.Thank you Sorel!

I just recently moved back to Cape Cod from Orange County so you can imagine my surprise with the crazy cold artic freezes and snow we have gotten this 2015 winter season. I've been wearing a pair of wellies with the fleece sock insert and my feet have been so cold I couldn't take it any longer!!!!! I have been on the hunt for a snow boot that would be durable and warm. I saw a girl in dunkin donuts with a pair of Joan of arcs from Sorel so I got to researching. Then I went to visit my friend and she had the caribou boots, I tried them on and I was in love. So I came to Boston today to buy some boots!!!! I found the caribou in the Grey color which Im obsessed with and they fit amazing. I'm usually a size 7-7.5 but I got the 7 and it fits great with my thick winter socks. The durability of these boots are amazing, they do feel heavy but you get use to it and they are extremely warm. I am totally in love with these boots and would recommend them to anyone looking for quality and durability.

I have only worn them once but that one time was great. I felt the size was perfect and the fit for my feet was great. Haven't worn them in the super cold yet, but I know that they will be perfect because I have my original pair that I bought when I was 18 and now I am 62 and they still are great. thanks, DM - CT

I live in NE Oklahoma, and most know that our weather is unpredictable to say the least. This winter my outside chores doubled and covers about 10 acres of walking. so this year i decided to be prepared (least amount of snow in years), but i was ready. i researched for 2 months before deciding on the Caribou. so glad i did because these boots are awesome. i ordered a 7 (my true size) and they are roomy enough for thick socks but not a must. i did find that if i leave my muddy boots out in the cold it takes forever for my feet to warm up so now i keep them by the heater till i need them. They are excellent on ice, no slipping at all. i have not had the deep snow this year to try them out but have confidence they will work out great. They are a little heavy but that should be expected in a boot of this type. I found the weight to my advantage in keeping sure footing and when they are laced all the way they are great for hiking on uneven terrain. as i love to do ! :) In summary these boots are not for the faint at heart, they are a serious boot for serious outdoor conditions. So if you are looking for a heavy duty durable dependable boot Sorel is the place to go. And they are cute cute cute

I purchased these boots after the 6+ feet of snow in Boston this winter. The boots keep my feet completely dry and super warm. I'm typically a 6 1/2 and a size 6 fits great. They are a bit clunky, but a small sacrifice for the functionality. They still look cute too!

These boots are absolutely perfect. I initially ordered a size 7 based on my foot's measurement compared to the sizing chart the site provides but they were very loose. I exchanged for a size 6 and they were a perfect fit. Super warm and very comfy. They are a little clunky but it's something you'll get used to after a few times of wearing them. Very stylish yet extremely practical. Thanks, Sorel!

I ordered these just in time for the wave of blizzards that hit the east coast and they were perfect! My feet were nice and toasty trudging through snow in -20 F temps. They fit true to size with the thick wool socks I wore with them. And as an added bonus, they are ridiculously cute and comfortable. As some other reviewers mentioned, they are a little bit heavier than the average boot, but that's to be expected with such a well-made and weather-proof boot. They sure made this first-time Sorel boot wearer a loyal customer!

These snow boots are so incredibly warm. They have heavy duty tread on the bottoms to get you through anything. The liner is removable making it easy to dry and clean. They make my feet look large, but that's the charm of snow gear!

I've been looking for a boot that doesn't leave me soaked after walking through the snow, as my hiking boots do, in the winter. After reading a number of the reviews on this site, I was concerned about these running too large and ordering too many sizes down. I am a 9 in heels and in sneakers, and prefer a wide fit for dress shoes. I ordered the regular women's 8 as soon as it became available, even though many recommended going down 2 sizes. The size 8 boot fits me just fine. A size 7 would be too small. I don't have any issue with the thickness of the liner, and I think if I did order the thicker one, as some other reviewers did, this might be too tight a fit with thick, wool socks. I'm very pleased with the sturdiness of the boot overall and its warmth, particularly after climbing over steep snow piles and enduring low single-digit temps this year. I'm hopeful these will last me for a lifetime.

I bought this boot for my Dad size 9. He was very surprised they fit him. He loves the boot and said "they are very warm and cozy" he is going to recommend the store to his friends. I will also recommend the store to my friends.

These boots are so wonderful in the Colorado winter. They have a nice grip, are weather proof, and they keep my feet nice and warm. I absolutely love them. After reading reviews, I went with a size smaller. I usually buy boots in an 8, but ordered a 7 and I am so thrilled I did. They fit perfectly. Yes, these boots are clunky and big, but they serve much more of a purpose than being "cute" or "trendy" ;) I highly recommend these boots in a size smaller. They're the best winter boots I've ever had!

I'm a size 8 but ordered a size 7 due to the reviews of it fitting a bit large. Perfect for the snow, easy to wash off the slush. Best snow boots i've purchased.

I bought these to wear casually on our skiing trip to Snowshoe and couldn't be more pleased! I had to buy a half-size larger than I needed, but with the inserts and thick socks, they fit perfectly. Our last day there, the temp. range was -8 to -42 and my feet were toasty and warm. I'm glad I spent a little more for the Sorels.

I was worried about ordering the women's sorel caribou boots online because I had read so many reviews saying order size larger or order size smaller and some said true to size. I took a gamble and ordered the size I normally wear, an 8,and they are perfect! They are a bit clunky but they're snow boots... They're supposed to be! They are exactly what I hoped for. I just wish I hadn't waited so long to decide to get them. They're worth every penny!
