Customer Reviews SOREL Caribou™

This boot was VERY warm. I loved it for that reason. It was a little too klunky for me though. I wanted to be able to run around outside with my son and walk to work easily. I felt that I could not do this with ease in these boots. They ran slightly big also.

Kept feet very warm but very bulky and hard to walk in.

These boots are only suitable for some one with extra wide feet, big chubby ankles and extremely thick calves.

The boot seems nice but they were too large and I did not like the loose insert. Also, they were hard to get on even though they were too big. I have subsequently returned the boots.

Very big and heavy! Thinking about returning

I got these boots in black for a trip to canada. They look wonderful and definitely keep your feet warm and dry. However they are on the heavy side and for some reason or another it threw off my stride In my right side and after a couple day it was almost impossible for me to walk in them from the pain in my groin area.

I normally wear a size 9...across the board. I'm rarely a different size in any shoe. So, I ordered a size 9 in these and they are enormous. They feel at least a size and a half larger. The boots are warm and waterproof which is exactly what I was looking for in this boot. They are well made and super durable.

I am super frustrated because I was so excited to get these boots because it is starting to snow. I did the measurement that it says to do to get the right size of boot but it is HUGE. I normally wear a 9. The size chart told me to order a 10. I decided to go with a 9.5 because many reviews say the size runs a little big. I figured that the chart was right on the money with giving me the correct size. The boot fits like an 11 and I am annoyed.

I love the quality or Sorel Caribou boots. They work great for snowmobiling. This is my second pair and I find that they fit a bit small compared to my original boots that came from Canada... the Chinese version are not as true size as my original boots but the quality of workmanship appears to be there....dry, warm, and comfortable.

I am a size 10 so that is the size I ordered but I could have gone down a full size. These boots are extremely stiff and bulky. They are very heavy on my feet. Definitely not a good shoe to walk long distances. My feet kept sliding in these and now my toes and ankles hurt. I dread having to put them back on. The one plus is that my feet were extremely warm.

Got these boots for Christmas and they were so where near true to size. Order a size down atleast.

I can't say I am completely satisfied with this boot, but I did keep it. The fit is large. I ordered according to the fit guide and selected size 6.5. Normally, I wear a 7 and my old Sorel boots are a 7. The 6.5 is a very roomy in the width. I was looking for a very warm boot for days when I work outside for several hours at a time. This boot fits the bill. However, it is very heavy and bulky, so it is almost tiring to walk around in it for many hours. I would recommend this boot if warmth is what you are after, but not if you want all-day comfort. Hope this helps.

I wanted some legit, warm snow boots to wear throughout the winter; with skinny jeans, leggings, etc. These are unfortunately a little too legit. I returned these because they're just too heavy duty. I had read reviews saying they were too heavy, but thought I could handle it. Nope. I would only wear these if I was going to shovel some snow. No way are they practical enough to wear with every day outfits. Bummer. Great quality though. Usually wear a 9-9 1/2, and the 8 was perfect.

I'm a true 10.5. Every shoe, sneaker, sandal, snowboarding boot, etc. I own is a 10.5. After ordering 3 different sizes I wound up with a 9.5 size, and they still feel big.... I do like the style and warmth, but I'm not hiking thru frozen tundra for days. I'm just shoveling the driveway we it snows and going sleigh riding with the kids, so they are perfect for me.

As per everybody's review, this boot runs a little big. I normally wear a 7.5 and got a 7 for this. It was ok- I actually could have gone to a 6.5. It is well made and sturdy. However, it weighs a ton and the shaft is tight. I do not want to wear them unless it is absolutely snow ridden out there. As I got them immediately before a snowstorm, I had no choice but to wear them. Otherwise, I would have returned them for another model.

The boot is warm and makes me feel secured when walking in the snow. And it looks nice in the picture except for the fact that It looks extremely huge when I actually try it on(mine is 8). Also, it is extremely HEAVY. I sometimes feel like I am walking around with sandbags attached to my feet.

This is an amazing boot meant for heavy snow and all the activities related to it. It is impermeable and very very warm but I do not recommend it for petite women. I am 4'11" and 120 lbs. This boot is just too heavy for me. Sadly they will have to go back. Great boot if you can handle its weight!

I purchased these boots a little over a year ago, and despite having quite a bit of inclement weather this time last year and some this year, I've only worn these boots maybe 3-4 times. I should have read more reviews before making the purchase, and I'm sad to say that I am overall disappointed in them. I will say that the positive aspects of the shoes are that they do keep your feet extremely warm, and they are of excellent craftsmanship. On the downside, they are very uncomfortable to wear. I wear an 8.5 shoe, and the 8.5 is way too big. My feet are constantly sliding around inside, and the shaft slips on my ankles/calves. It hurts to walk in them because they are super clunky, and I feel the need to strain my muscles in order to keep them on my feet. Thankfully, I didn't have any issues with the material rubbing my skin raw, which is a problem for me with a lot of shoes. Taking everything into account, they are well-made, but they do not deliver in terms of comfort and function. Sadly, I won't be recommending these.

Let me first preface this by saying I really wanted to like them. My wife and kids have Sorels and they all love their boots. I am 5'5" and normally wear a size 8. I purchased the caribou in a size 7 after trying them in the store. They look amazing and the quality is very nice. The soles feel thin and I'm concerned I would feel the cold under my feet. My only real concern is how big they look on me. The boots look huge relative to my size. They're just too wide and big. They fit fine but they add an extra two inches of rubber and material which add a lot of weight which make them heavy and clunky for daily use. Driving is a challenge but can be done with a gentle touch. Perhaps I'll try a different style but the classic Caribou will not work for me. :(

These boots will not keep your feet warm at the temps advertised. The liners are much thinner than my older boots and the boot soles are very thin. I am very disappointed. I hate them and can't return them.

Nice artic boot but they were WAY too bulky and heavy for me. Therefore, I returned them. :-(

Ordered these for my daughter in college. She had tried on other styles in the store and didn't realize some Sorel boots weigh more than others! They weigh TWICE what the other boots do! Please be aware of this before you order and have to pay for two-way shipping!!!
