I've had these boots before and they were great, but these one's leaked immediately, in each boot. Don't waste your money on a boot that does not match it's company's claim to being fully waterproof. From the first time and everytime I wear them in snow, both of my feet become almost instantly soaked.

Boots looked great until you try to put them on. They have an inner boot that is so small and the band at the top and along that inner boot is so unstretchable that will not allow you to get your foot into the boot. I bought these thinking that a lace up boot would be easier to get on. Unless you foot is a twig good luck trying to pull them on. The actual outer boot looks as thought it would fit and be great but the inside is a major flaw. I am very disappointed in that it looks like a great a boot.

I ordered the black caribou boot with white sorel logo, but i got the boot with black sorel logo. I cannot even find the product that with the black sorel logo... what is this boot name? Also, the quality of the boot is so bad... it look like not a brand new products... so dirty.

After just over a year, the rubber cracked in similar locations on both boots (just above the large and little toe areas). These cracks have turned into holes, rendering the boots useless for winter wear. In short, you are paying quite a bit of money for poor materials and barely a season's worth of use.

I have bought two pairs of the Caribou and they both formed cracks in the rubber.
They are great boots for about 2 months and then there are issues.
The first pair I bought was in 2011, they almost made it to the end of the season before cracking (and letting in snow/water).
The second pair was bought in 2012. They were cracking by the end of the season however due to the weather there was no snow and I barley wore them.
This season I thinking of buying a 3rd pair from a dealer that will replace them when cracked. If they allow it I will just continue to replace them (for free) until the issue is fixed.
The only reason I'm thinking of buing a 3rd pair is becuase they are very good looking boots and when new do exactly what I need/want them to do.

Sorel just sent me a new pair of Caribous to replace ones that died after only two years (purchased 2010). After minimal wear and just breaking in the leather I noticed the rubber was cracking over the big toe and the entire sole was detaching. The new 2012 pair has thicker rubber around the foot (sole thickness appears to be the same), but thinner leather uppers. They are not broken in yet, but they feel "snugger" than the old pair, which is good because the old ones were not nimble enough to wear around town. They are definitely roomy enough to wear thick socks and curl your toes. It's obvious Sorel is still tinkering with this boot after moving production from Canada. There is no reason to believe these boots will last 15-20 years like they used to. These boots are certainly not worth the price. For a little more you can get a pair of Hoffmans that will last for decades.

My first pair lasted seven months and then the rubber started cracking on the bottom. Returned them to dealer for another pair, they only lasted two months and they started cracking, took them back to dealer for a refund, and now I'm done with Sorel. In my opinion very cheap material and poor quality.

After only two outings, the tabs that hold the D-rings (laces) fell off.

I bought these boots to wear on a trip to Germany in December. There was snow/slush and very cold air. My feet got wet and cold after about an hour outside. I thought my feet were wet from sweating but when I took my boots off it was obvious that water had gotten in from the outside. The wool inserts were soaked and my socks were damp. I was very disappointed since these boots claim to be waterproof.

I was so happy to get my new snow boots, put them on and they hurt and cut my feet. I hope that the warranty department will take them back. I would have been happy but they hurt so bad I can't wear them.
