Reviewed at Sorel
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 bought my caibous in 1987 when I lived in Alaska. 24 years later I have gone through three sets of liners but the boot shell is still like new. No water leaks and keeps my toes warm when clearing the driveway after a 24 inch snow fall. I don't use the daily any more but the first5 years in Alaska they were used heavily during backcountry ex erosions in the Chugach mountains. Way to make a quality ling lasting product

Ordered these boots last minute for my husband for a trip in the snow - best purchase - waterproof and no cold feet - soles have a nice grip (no slipping and sliding).

My son loves these boots! They are very warm, durable, and great for snow. He is wearing them everyday this winter. Nothing beats Sorel boots for snow.

Warm, dry, excellent traction and comfortable. One couldn't ask for more in a winter boot. They're not the lightest but they're absolutely perfect for regular wear in cold, snowy conditions when extended periods outside can be expected.

Bought these boots for my boyfriend who has never owned a pair. We went for a walk after a snowfall and he loved them. His feet stayed warm and he said they were comfortable. He seems very happy with them.

This boots are made of high quality materials well constructed. It feels sort of like a tank is giving your foot a hug. The traction is great and they stay warm. I am happy with my purchase. They are a little roomy, not sure if that is by design (maybe Sorel thinks I own huge socks) or that they run a size big.

Great boots!!! I bought these for my husband, and he LOVES them, and he is very picky.
I was concerned they might be a little big, as they didn't come in half sizes, but they are great. Best to wear them with thick socks to prevent chafing upon "wearing them in", but they are fantastic quality and VERY attractive boots that he will have for years to come.
They are exactly what is needed living in Minnesota and if you also want to look stylish - these are the boots for your guy!

The Sorel Caribous saved me this Christmas. They were the perfect present for everyone on my list. I bought a pair for my husband, my brother in law, and my Dad & they all loved them! They all said they were very comfortable & warm. After last year's snow blizzards I wanted all my guys to be prepared & the Sorel Caribous were the answer!

What is there not to say about Zappos service. Best in the business. The boots are everything I thought they would be. Excellent snow boots. Fit was right on, very warm and water-proof boot.

These shoes look and feel amazing. They are a bit wide, although you have to get a size smaller than what you would normally wear because they run big.

These are great boots, especially for the money!
I live in Chicago, and I will be enjoying them for the first time this winter. Already wore them for our first bad snow and I am very pleased!

These boots are bulkier than they look, but obviously the top in quality. I normally wear a US Men's 12 and bought an 11, and the fit is perfect, even with some thicker type socks.

I bought these as a gift for my adult son who spends much of his time on snow with a camera. He loves them. They shipped quickly and are exactly what I hoped they'd be in terms of warmth, workmanship, size and style. Thanks!

Fabulous Sorel Caribou boots. Have owned a previous pair and wore them
for ten plus years. True to size and warm, with great traction.

It's great that the style of this boot is timeless because the quality of construction will last a lifetime of winters. I ordered a half size larger since I double up on socks in the snow and the boot fits perfectly.

Love. This winter will be my first winter on the east coast, and while many don't think this California girl will last, I'm confident that with these boots I'll be just fine. When searching for the perfect winter boot, I initially ordered the Ugg Belcloud and Belfair, both water repellent Uggs, but both were nearly twice the price of the Caribous and can't boast the same durability that Sorel can. Also, I am typically a size 6, but I ordered a size 5 and there's still plenty of room for a thick sock. I love that they are big and chunky - I plan on wearing them with skinny jeans/leggings and oversized sweaters and jackets. While they don't have much arch support, I don't imagine I'll be trekking long distances in my Caribous. Can't wait for the first snow so I can wear them already! And as always, thank you Zappos, for your amazing service and your dedication to making your customers so happy!

First of all..Zappos rules. That's the fastest time I've ever received ANYTHING. Ordered them yesterday afternoon and by today at noon they were at my door.
The boots are pretty awesome too; they will come in handy up in North Dakota. Very comfortable. I like the furry part up top because it doesn't rub up on my leg.
These look very durable and they are also waterproof. They are kinda chunky... but that's what makes them so good for winter weather I guess. I love them. I'm kinda picky but I can tell I love these and I will prob buy some more of these soon, just a different color.

I have a U.S. size 8.5 EEE foot. I ordered the size 8 of this model. A touch snug with thick sock at first, but wearing it around apartment to break it in a bit for 2 evenings and the boots are PERFECT. Size 9 would definitely be too big. Felt liner seems to give a bit and adjust to foot somewhat. Boot leather feels great out of the box--not stiff. Preliminary impression is these are exactly what I hoped for.

The boots were a requested gift for an adult son who in spite of skiing in the Sierra Nevada all his life and going to college in snow country had never had them. Everyone else in the family did. He loves them and at 47 this is probably his first and last pair. They are perfect.

Great boots. After owning a pair for 30 years I bought these as a Christmas gift for my son-in-law. He did not request them. He has worn them shoveling, sledding with the kids and to several outdoor sporting events. He is now the new inventor of Sorels shoes! I think these are great boots and a great gift for young people who may not spend the money on them but would get more use out of them then they would imagine.

Bought these boots for my son in Massachusetts for Christmas. He wore them all day at a ski resort in New Hampshire. Said they were very comfortable and his feet never got cold all day.

Overnight just like they said. Great boots, incredibly warm, great price. Nothing more to say except I have never been disappointed with Zappos!
