Customer Reviews SOREL Caribou™

I did it, I finally broke down and bought the best snowboots around. I've wasted money on lookalikes, but nothing beats Sorel.

I got my Sorel boots in 1980 when I was going on my first ski trip. I have used them every time I was in a snowy situation since then and it is now 2013 and they look almost new. They are warm and comfortable and I am so impressed I ordered these boots for my now adult son's for Christmas. They will last them a lifetime and a worthwhile investment.

Because I have a large family and Christmas shop all year round, I purchased these winter boots as a Christmas gift because the size 16 is a difficult size to find especially when your really need it. That being said, I have not even opened the box because Sorel products, in my mind, are superior and I trust I will not be disappointed nor will the recipient of the boots.

This boot is one of the greatest boots I've ever owned!

Has a refreshing color, instead of dark colors. Very comfortable. These are fashionable, along with a quality that will keep my feet dry & warm, for many winters to come. Looking forward to being able to wear them next winter.

Before I ordered, I read so many mixed responses about size in the reviews. I think they fit perfect!! They are a little tight getting in on the ankle area...but they are supposed to be to keep the cold out! What many people who haven't owned a pair in the past don't know, is that the liners are like any soft liner. They are nice and snug when they're new, and they break in and form to your feet as you wear them. I am mostly a 7, rarely a 7 1/2, but never an 8. So I ordered a 7 and they fit like a glove! When next winter hits, my feet will be comfy, toasty and dry. Thanks Sorel!

I have been needing winter/snow boots for a long time. I had looked all over and never really found anything that struck me. I finally got onto Sorel's website and found what I was looking for. I love them! They fit right out of the box!! I have since worn them for geocaching and snowshoeing.

Found that I needed a larger size so I returned and ordered another pr. Sorel was excellent in handling this and the boots are perfect.

work in alaska this is the only boot has proven to keep my feet dry and warm under any condition.and they last for more than one season

I just wore my Caribou's for the first time. Temperature was barely in the teens with 8 inches of snow on the ground. I do ministry work. Today I was out walking for a couple of hours and my feet were toasty warm ... just what I was hoping they would be. I have no doubt they will be just as warm in subzero degrees. These boots, when laced up, hugged my leg so no snow got in. Here is my experience with size. I normally wear a 7 to 7 1/2 and I bought a size 8. Good thing because they just fit. So they run slightly small. The lining makes it moderately hard (I was wearing tights) to get your foot in and out. You also have to hold on to the wooly top of the boot (thats where the lining starts) in order to even get in or out. Since the boot unties and the lining is separate, the lining is a much tighter fit. But then again, that is what keeps your feet toasty warm!

The whole order from start to finish could not have gone any better! Thanks

I bought these boots for ice fishing and so far so good for keeping my feet warm although I haven't been able to test them out in the mid winter temps yet since I bought them late into the season here. I wear a size 12 and even with thick wool socks I still have plenty of room to move my toes around which is very important to keeping your toes warm especially when being on the ice most of the day. The quality of the boot seems good and of course they look great. This is my first pair of Sorels and they always had a good reputation from other ice fisherman, I'm sure I'll enjoy these boots for years to come.

I purchased these boots right before we got hit with a winter storm and I wanted something that would keep me firmly on the ground, warm and dry and that would allow me to wear my work trousers easily. These boots delivered. The are totally toasty and waterproof and I didn't feel like I was slipping. I wear a 10 and my feet are slightly narrow but they were great. There's room enough to wear heavier socks or fit a M to W foot. My only issue is that they can be heavy but you can really bust through the slush and snow while feeling safe; it's worth the extra weight.

I am very pleased with my new boots! They are warmer than I expected which is great but that means I have a little wiggle room since I sized them with larger socks on. I wear them every day and my feet stay dry and warm every time, and I live in MN. My only complaint is they're hard to drive in. :)

Like Moen products advertise: Buy for looks own for Life. The quality is top notch. Sorel knows how to craft great products.

Great style, great fit, great value! GREAT! Time tested, always the highest quality. Fits like a glove. This is the 3rd pair of Sorels I own. All different styles of course. The warmest, driest boot for all types of environments.

I have always wanted a pair of caribous - i knew from friends that once you buy a pair they are yours for life. These boots are awesome, love the color (tusk), the construction is top notch...BUT - they are absolutely HUGE. I am a true size 8 and have never had size issues with Sorels before (I own several different styles). When I pulled them out of the box and tried them on I thought I had ordered a men's 8 by accident. They were a woman's 8 but I should have gotten a size 7...especially when I know they will pack out over time. My heels rise up out of the heel cup, my toes are swimming the in the toe box...you get the idea. I wore them with my thick Smartwool snowboarding socks and still felt like I was clunking around in them. Already wore them outside so I can't return them...will most likely give them to a friend with bigger feet.

My whole family wears these boots, mens, womens and the kids. They are truly the best for wet winter wear. We used to be able to buy them locally but no more. So glad to have found your website.

First pair of boots I have ever owned that keep my feet warm

I've owned a pair of these boots for years that were just a tad too small (I am a 8.5 and bought the 8 on super sale years ago). Found another sale and now own the 9. My feet are never cold and I can wear my heavy Smart Wool socks or the lighter weight ones and they fit just fine. I am WARM, stable on snow/ice and can walk comfortably. I can actually drive my Prius in these boots. I use them for extended play or walks outside with the dogs. I am quite glad I invested in a new pair. This should do it for years to come...thank you for continuing to offer this product.

This California girl had business in Montreal-- in February! I needed a sturdy, warm winter boot (I knew my trusty Uggs wouldn't cut it) and I decided to buy the classic Sorel Caribou. I read dozens of customer reviews before my purchase. Many said that the boots run large and that they are hard to get in and out of. Well, they do run large, but I suppose that is to accommodate heavy socks. I wore my thickest pair, and the boots fit comfortably. Yes, it is a little difficult to extract one's feet from the boots (due to the heavy, warm bootie-style liner) but I was grateful that the insulation provided full coverage without any gaps or openings. So, I tramped around Montreal in heavy snow and ice. The boots provided terrific warmth and traction. I expect they will last forever. On the way home, I saw a guy in the airport, wearing a pair of Caribous that were probably 25 years old-- well-worn and sporting a little duct tape over one seam. I hope mine look the same one day! Oh, the best part is that they were on sale via the Sorel website. It might be the best $100 I ever spent. Thanks, Sorel!
