These boots are the most comfortable boots I've ever worn. I purchased them for a winter camping trip and found them to be very warm. I also like that they have the removable felt liners so the liners can be switched out to always keep my feet dry.

I absolutely love these boots!!! I haven't had snowboots in years and thank god I have these this year! We've had two amazing snowstorms since January and I wouldn't have gotten out of the house with out them.
These boots hare so warm that I've been out in them without socks! Something I wouldn't dream of doing in any other boot!

I've had these shoes for about a month in Norway now and I love them! They keep you warm in zero degrees weather, but they also keep you dry in 32-35 degree weather. It's quality for your money ;)

I'm very happy with my purchase of the Sorel Caribou boots. I'm a Wisconsin resident and purchased my boots during the 2009/10 winter season. I take a daily 1-2 mile walk daily in the countryside woods in snowy, hilly terrain and my feet are very warm and comfortable throughout my walk. They grip the snow very well, and there is very little slipage, if any, in icy trails. They have a big advantage over typical hiking shoes in Wisconsins, cold winters. I would be a repeat customer and would highly recommend Sorel products to my friends. Thanks for making such a high quality and comfortable product. They are a joy to wear in cold weather.

A couple years ago I was engaged to be married. My fiance always used to joke that he would need to buy me a pair of Sorels, so that I wouldn't get cold feet and back out of the wedding date. (He is a very happy Sorel wearer). Well, he never bought them for me and sure enough, I DID get cold feet and canceled (hopefully just postponed) the wedding.....We ended up getting back together, and although we don't have another date set, I decided to buy myself the Sorels just so I wouldn't get cold feet again.....
:)
No other boots will do!!! I actually bought another brand and ended up returning them!!
I love the Sorels!!!!!!!
Thanks for producing a quality product that makes it fun to walk in the snow!!

I got these for my huband and he just loves them! They are super waterproof, warm, thick and durable. The insides are replaceable just in case they get smelly.

I only have good things to say about these boots. They are waterproof and rugged. The wool liner is yummy warm. I added insole inserts into them and that gives me a bit more support -- the fact that there was room for that and I can still wear fat socks is something some people may want to note. (I was obviously glad for the extra room.) When I wear them I feel impervious to the cold and weather. Snow, slush? No problem! I bought the black ones, and I think they look great too. They are a little heavy, but that is to be expected and doesn't bother me.

It reminded me of rubber boots from my younger days (40 plus yrs ago) with insulation. They were not true to size, larger than expected. Not very supportive like high end winter footwear. I got a discount on them and would have rather exchanged them for a smaller size but apparently Zappos only offers returns. That's fine. When Zappos sends me another "20% off" code I will order them then...ya know when winter is over for the year.
I'd also recommend:

Have 5 pairs of these between mee and wide but can't get replacement liners they don't every have in stock been years of looking and now still don't have seems pretty intentional to force you into buying a new pair of boots vs just liners. Good boot terrible after sale service

I bought these because they were supposed to be the best. I use them for real outdoor activities not just to walk around and after a little over a year the rubber cracked on both boots. Now Ive probably used them for 4-6 months totals between this winter so far and last winter. These are definitely not cheap and for them to only last that long is very disappointing. I reached out to customer service and no response yet, I will update if they do something about it.

Boots look nice, but do not keep the feet warm. Pretty disappointed overall. Had them for 2 years and cant be outside for more than 10 minutes with them. Temp sits single digits to 30F

Had super high hopes. My last pair of boots were Polaris that I purchased at Target 22 years ago. Wanted a new upgrade, but am pretty disappointed. The rubber seems flimsy and kind of weak, and theyre not nearly as warm as the $30 Polaris. I normally wear a size 8.5 but went with 8 and they fit perfectly.

I really thought these boots would be the ones! I ordered them as a Christmas gift on December 3, 2023 and they were perfect right out of the box, they fit, were comfortable everything was great UNTIL today January 13, 2024 LESS than a MONTH and they have failed! The rubber has cracked and they are no longer water proof making them useless. I expected at a $200 price range they would last awhile longer!

My dad had a pair of these when we lived in Iowa, Northwest, Schaller, Iowa. We live 3 miles outside of town. Dad had a couple snowmobiles. And this was what he wore on his feet when he was outside on a snowmobile. And so did I because I had same size feet even though I was 9-10.

ok. I have always loved the caribou boots but the last two pairs I have had lasted only one year before the rubber cracked. I live in montana where the winters tend to be cold and long so I wear the boots a lot but I am thinking they should last longer than one year. I see this comment a lot so it is obvious there is a problem. I want to like them but the cracking rubber just won't let me.

I am writing this horrible view as a DUTY TO WARN other potential customers from the same egregious customer service practices from this sham of a business, NOT for the boots themselves which by the way are made NOT with real leather or suede anymore :(. I purchase two pair of these snow boots for my son, not knowing what size would fit better with thick socks. He kept one; I needed to return the other. They informed me I will NOT receive my full refund but will be deducted the $7.00 charge for the shipping label. NOT ONLY THAT, but they make you return the original shoe box INSIDE of another larger box or bag which YOU WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR at the UPS store in ADDITION to being dedicated the $7- for the fricking return label!! Huh?? This is 2023 and the year of Amazon ease; so guess what?? Note to fellow would-be purchasers: Purchase these Sorel boots from Nordstrom or Neiman Marcus or REI or Amazon , all of which exist in the 21st century of customer service and ease of return. After all, I DID keep one pair for my son!! This gouging company just lost a customer over a flipping $16- return. They made over $200- on me but lost me with their customer gouging for $16-. DO NOT purchase from this horrid Sorel site; it is the worst and the customer service couldnt be worse. If you have any inkling that you may need to return or exchange, for the sake of your heart health, purchase ONLY from the aforementioned retailers who offer free returns and have brick and mortar storefronts in which to deposit your return and receive immediate refund. Learn from all of us who have reviewed the same frustrated experience!!

I live and work in the snow so these boots are essential, however they are replacing my previous pair which did not last as long as they should have. Make them more durable, please.
