Customer Reviews SOREL Caribou™

these boots definately live up to their hype. I had bought some sorels for my boyfriend for christmas and after hearing him talk about how much he loved them i decided I'd buy myself some. Now I'm hooked!

I bought these to replace a pair I bought years ago for some time I spent in Montana. My old ones fit sloppy, but that's because I let the stupid salesperson in a sporting goods store talk me into the size a little large. My old boots were destroyed and I realized after the first snow storm of the year I needed to replace them. I bought these Sorels and LOVE the way they fit, feel and look. So happy with my new pair...normally I wear a half size but I know these do run large and I'm cozy in my new boots. I just wish it would snow.

I wear a size 6 1/2 and was disapointed that when I ordered a sigze 7 I could not get my foot in the liner. So that pair is going back and I ordered a size 8, wish they came in half sizes. I stole my first pair from my husband 30 years ago and loved them. I will never be without a pair of Sorel boots.

These are a very nice pair of boots.

These boots are very comfortable. And my feet have never been so warm.

Super warm, Super comfy! Walk through puddles and over the snow with no problem!

Though we don't get massive amounts of snow in Pittsburgh, we get snow and ice, and I've got a couple of Cardigan corgis to walk -- they need lots of exercise, AND they have short legs and therefore a low center of gravity, AND they're entirely made out of muscle and concrete, AND though they're pretty well behaved they sometimes pull me all of a sudden when they see friends or squirrels. So I've been terrified in icy conditions. I've tried many things -- cleats on my boots, other boots, some other boots besides that. But my partner found that these boots had the best tread recommendation, and I bought a pair. They are astounding. They're warm, which is even more than I expected, and the thick sole means that the chill of the ice doesn't get through to my feet. They're heavy enough to give me a lower center of gravity, but not so heavy I can't walk. And several times I've started to slip on the ice, but the tread stops me. I love these boots. If I live long enough to wear them out, I'll buy another pair.

Got my boots, but they were quite large. I normally wear a women's 7 1/2, so I went up to an 8, but my feet were swimming in them. Returning them & getting a 7, based on other reviews that said they loosen up considerably after wear. Can't wait because they are so flippin' cute! They're rugged & undoubtedly tough, but very stylish, too.

I am just glad to get a size 12 womans shoe and I am sure once we get snow in VT they will work great. Just wish more shoe manufacturers would make shoes in size 12 as the mens equal is too wide and they are not in styles a woman would want. I would love a pretty pair of ladies boots but limited because of size.

I ordered these for hunting to keep my feet warm and that they do. There is plenty of room to wear big socks and they are comfortable to walk in yet durable. Love them!!!

bought these because I had a pair as a kid in the northen woods of Wis. growing up comfortable and very warm

My primary use for this boot is outside work and activities. These fit perfectly, relatively no break-in period. (Just a little stiff.) I keep them loosely laced for slipping on and off with no retying. The Caribou is exactly what I was looking for and given the quality will most likely last many years of tough winter work-outs.

absolutely love my new boots

I bought Sorel boots 25 years ago and still have them - no leaks, but the top of the liner is ripped. So I decided to get another pair, and the choice is clear. Why buy cheap footwear and have to replace it every year or two, when you can buy good quality boots that will last decades?

Throughout my childhood in upstate NY my parents each had a pair of these sitting next to the door all winter. Theirs lasted over 25 years. My new pair arrived right before a snowstorm here in Boulder CO, and they are great! Super-warm, durable, and still have that classic look. Thanks!

This boot is perfect for the cold weather. The height is perfect and the fact that it is completely closed makes snow play time and work time much more fun. Also the liner on the inside was not as warm as I expected. Not to mention that these boots are fashionable; they go with jeans, leggings, snow pants. If you wanted to you can even tuck your jeans into the boot and it becomes a great snow bunny look. Lastly, these boots are impossible to slipp in. Walking on ice is like driving with chains/4 wheel drive. Overall this are great boots and I would recommend them to any customer.

I recently ordered these boots, and I love everything about them. My feet have never been so warm! I am currently still breaking the boot in, but I could wear them all day. I ordered a half size larger than my normal shoe size, and the fit is perfect. I can run through the snow and walk on icy parking lots with no problem! I highly recommend these boots to anyone living in a cold weather climate.

So, the last time I had a pair of Sorel's was in High School...36 years ago..don't know what ever became of them. Anyway, i live in Colorado - sunny, but can get COLD!!!! I also have a puppy who needs to go to the off leash parks and get walked every night, we just had a really cold spell...my Ugg's have bit the dust - they did 13 years ago actually when I had a previous puppy..they never quite cut it for cold/snow/freezing walks/hikes, etc. I decided to treat myself and also avoid frost bite, which almost happened a few weeks ago. These are TRUE TO SIZE! I usually wear a 9. Tried the 9 on in a store of the Tivoli, wanted the Caribou, ordered them in a 9. I was wearing thick socks when I tried the Tivoli on, and was wearing the same socks when my Caribou arrived, and they are perfect. An 8 was snug, and when hiking, etc, you need your toe room, and nice socks. I was concerned after reading all reviews about some people who said they were glad they went a size DOWN!! No need. If you are an 8-1/2, you should order a 9, don't go smaller. Seems like there are lots of women who have size issues - these are true to size. They are also the BEST QUALITY out there. I am ready for some long puppy playing / walking / hiking and now will not have to get frost bite! I also have foot issues - feet hurt - have to wear Dansko - these are the MOST comfortable boots I have ever tried on!! In the store, I tried a pair of Columbia on - they don't even come close to Sorel! I am now going to have to look at ALL styles, shapes, shoes, etc of Sorel...they are the one and only, original pro! Please don't ever change a thing!!!

I have had a pair of these boots for almost 20 years. I got my first pair of Sorel boots when I started running sled dogs in upper Michigan about 20 years ago. They were the "must have" piece of equipment. I have worn them daily in the winter in Chicago, and upper and lower Michigan. My feet are never cold in them. Never. Really. I am out for hours and hours in temps hovering around zero, and often in areas where my shoes are wet, but with these well made boots, my feet are not wet, and they are not cold. Good boots can be a matter of life and death in temps below zero and wet conditions. Except for the tongues that my dogs have chewed off over the years, they are in perfect shape with zero care, and daily work in snow and ice. The only drawback is that they are a little short if the snow is over a foot deep or drifts. I wear insulated overalls zipped over them, but when out in very deep snow, the snow comes in over the top of the boot, so I am getting a pair of similar boots that come up to the knees. These come up about 1/2 way. They are sized a little large. I wear an 8.5 to even a 9 in some athletic shoes. These boots are size 8. I leave them tied loosely and slip in and out of them when I have to go out to take care of animals. If they had elastic laces they would be perfect. Without these boots, winter in the frozen north would be miserable. With them, twice daily chores with animals are no big deal, no matter how cold the weather. Well, at least having cold feet is not an issue. The rest of me might be freezing, but my feet are never cold. There is nothing more miserable than cold feet when you HAVE to be outside. This is a great product. Well designed, well made, durable and warm. One of the best values for the money I have ever purchased. From the looks of them, they'll last another 20 years.

They are great. I thought too small for the first day that I wore them at home but now that the liner has molded to my foot they are perfect. Maybe a bit roomy even but in that comfy snow boot kind of way. The laces still get them snug enough. I haven't had Sorels in years but am so happy to have these and can't to get up in the mountains with them too.

I absoultely love my Sorel Caribou Boots!!!! The first time I put them on they fit perfectly and were super comfortable! I wear them when I'm out hunting and they are light-weight enough that they work perfect for that! As well as keep my feet from getting cold in below freezing temps. I ordered my boots online on a Friday and on Monday morning I had an email saying my boots had been mailed and recieved them on Wednesday! AMAZING! These are GREAT boot and Sorel is a GREAT company!!

I have been wearing a pair of Caribou boots for over 20 years....I still have a pair that I purchased 15+ years ago. Every 2-3 years I buy new liners and I hope they never wear out. I bought a second pair last year to have in my truck. Unless it is below zero I don't even wear socks with them and my feet are toasty warm. I hope that you never discontinue the product. I did find that the pair I bought last year seemed snugger so I went up a size.

I bought these in 1980, and they are still in perfect shape. I wore them for many years during Montana winters and now they are seeing New England. Frankly I'm sick of them and want a new style but after 31 years, there is not a thing wrong with them and they are warm even without socks!

I am pleased that these boots are not as heavy as I expected. My foot slips in nice and easy. I will be testing out this boot as soon as the snow and ice arrive. I will not be falling this year with these boots.

I read reviews saying these ran big and to go a size smaller. I wear an 8.5/9, so I ordered the 8....it was too small. I exchanged for the 9 and it fits great...FYI. The Caribou is an amazing boot and there is really nothing more to say other than what everyone already knows about it: it's an outstanding boot with incredible comfort and functionality. I've been craving these boots for many years and I finally got them. I live full-time in Orange County, so the last thing I really NEED are these boots, but I am thrilled to finally have them, as I grew up in a snowy region and vacation there often. There is just something about owning a great and tough pair of snow boots. If you are trying to decide between which boots to get..go with these, they're such a classic.
