It was hard to get on and off the very first time I put them on. At first I thought that the boot may be to small because my foot fit the whole boot; there was not much room left over for my foot. But I walked around in them for a while in the house and didn't feel any rubbing against my feet. So I wore them to work the next day and they felt great. I am glad that I got my size boot instead of a size smaller or bigger.

These were a gift for a person with very large feet. He loves them and hasn't had boots fit this well in a very long time.

I have to be honest. I've never been a big fan of the aesthetics of the Caribou line of boots. They are ugly, plain and simple. The women's line shows that Sorel knows style, but I think the men's winter line could incorporate a little more.
That said, these boots are absotutely amazing. Form follows function and the function of these boots is spot on. Warm, comfortable, dry, and well made. The first time I slipped my foot into a pair it was heavenly. Thanks Sorel, boots are awesome, albeit ugly.

I normally wear a 7.5 but since these boots don't come in half sizes I went to an 8 and I love them! They are warm and cute!!

I am very pleased with these boots. I read the reviews that said they ran a little large, so I went with the 8 (I'm an 8-1/2) and they fit great. I live on an island in northern Michigan and it gets cold here. These boots are very warm and super stylin!!

My daughter bought these for her sister in law for Christmas last year and they were at the top of her list this year! She loves them. They are so sturdy, and arrived almost overnight! Thank you!!

So far these boots have been great. They are a bit heavy and stiff to walk in at first, but give it a few times of walking around for awhile and they will begin to break in. They are also hard to get into for awhile. Those things aside, the boots have most definitely kept my feet toasty and most importantly- dry. You also have pretty great traction and they are easily wiped down.

I am very satisfied with my purchase, because my boots are just the same as they appeared on the web, and I think that I got a good deal for the price did I pay for them, I definitely I recomend this brand, they are very reliable.

i followed the advice and ordered a full size smaller as prescribed and while it took a minute to get my feet into the boots with the liners,, after wearing them for a couple of days they feel great and keep my feet toasty warm and fully dry,,, am fully pleased and am already looking at other styles,,,

Can't wait to try these out in Eagle River, WI. This is what the locals wear. Have heard about the Caribou for years and finally bought a pair. The fit runs a little large. Street shoe size is 9 1/2 and a 9 in the boot fits perfect. Very comfortable fit, but the boot is a little difficult to remove. The liner starts to come out. Perhaps cutting the elastic will help. The look of the Caribou is often copied but the original is still the best.

These boots are the most comfortable boots I have ever worn. Yet to be determined how they are in the cold and snow.

When you live in Colorado, you are likely to invest in sufficient snow boots. I definitely found what I was looking for in these Sorel Caribous. They have awesome traction so no slipping and sliding anymore in the ice. They are nice, warm, and cozy with a replacable liner. They do look very clunky and large, but they are the most LEGIT snow boots and they will keep your feet dry and toasty in colder temperatures.
I am usually a size 7-8, and these fit in a 6. Zappos did an amazing job in exchanging for a smaller size, and the quick shipping made it really easy.

I absolutely love these boots! I purchased them prior to Hurricane Sandy. I wore them while volunteering to help out my neighbors who were affected by the storm. They are light weight, comfortable and extremely durable.

This is my first pair of Caribou boots and they feel very warm inside. They are very bulky but seem to be a very good boot.I ended up getting a whole size smaller and they feel great. I wish it would snow so I could go outside and try them out, but over all I'm very happy with them.

I have owned the same set of sorels for 12 yrs. I just might buy a new set as I see the tread is much better. I bought mine made in Canada eh. I don't know if they are still made there or not but mine are the bestest!

I bought these for my son ,who is growing like a weed, but I wanted him to have a pair of quality boots while we are in England for 2 months. I own a pair of Sorels and my husband has the same in a different color. We wear them when we are in Colorado as well. Always have worn Sorels and they have not let me down yet!!

Best Boots ever! I live in a remote mountain community and these boots are my go to every day! Very comfortable, keep the feet dry, great traction. I went down a whole size and they fit fine. I think my normal size would have been too big. Thanks Sorel for making such a quality boot!

I have searched for two years to find mens size 17 boots. These fit very well and are wide across the foot. Finally, a boot that fits! They are warm and tall to keep me warm and dry. Thanks Sorel!

I am here to tell you that I LOVE my Caribous! I have had them for many, many years, and they have held up better than I have any right to expect. I only wish I had had them when I was living in Toronto - I could not afford them when I was a starving student, but NY can be extremely snowy too, and they have done their job beautifully, and stood the test of time. I do find them a little hard to get on and off, because I usually wear 2 prs wool socks under them, and now, after at lest 35 yrs of limited, snowy day use, the leather is beginning to crack. Probably from the crud they put on the snow and ice to make it go away (instead of shoveling it!) and my failure to use leather soap and neat's foot oil on them once in a while. I have gotten every penny's worth out of them that I put in, and then some. Can't recommend them highly enough!

I purchased these boot for my daughter as part of her gear for her freshman year at Bennington College in Vermont. I wanted her to have boots that would stand up to the Vermont winters, and be stylish enough for her to willingly wear them. As far as her wearing them goes: These were the first items set out to be packed in the car.
It's still in the 80s and I suspect it will be at least a week or two before temperatures plummet on her campus (!), but I am confident in at least this part of her college experience: Her feet will be warm and dry, and her footing secure.

Love my Sorel. Love the price, love the fact that Atlanta doesn't have snow but Utah does. Bring on the snow and I'll be bringing my Sorel.
