Customer Reviews SOREL Caribou™

Have always had high regards for Sorel boots...until now. I started out loving these boots, but after only a year and a half the rubber has begun cracking at the flex points. Certainly not the same boots I grew up with that seemed to last a lifetime!

Bitterly disappointed. This is my 2nd pair of Sorel boots and I will NEVER buy Sorel again. If you are looking for light use boots for snow shoveling, grocery store trips, snowmobiling or use that doesn't require much walking this is you boot but if you want an every day, on the farm, live in them 9 hours a day don't buy this boot. The rubber has cracked on both boots from walking and now lets the wet in. The liners wear made with such a small opening it was almost impossible to get your foot in without cutting into the felt and I have a size 7, narrow foot. This boot is in it's second winter which equates to about 6 months of solid wear in it's lifetime. From Sorel I expected more but would hazard a guess that these boots are made overseas and do not have the same qualities that Sorel was originally known for. My first pair of Sorel Caribou boots lasted 9 winters and only the tread wore out. I would suggest Sorel look into the quality of it's production before they lose another customer due to poor workmanship.

I have had a pair of Sorel boots for 12 years and at Christmas I bought a new pair of Women's Caribou boots - They do not protect your feet at all in cold weather - something is very wrong with this version and I am horrified that for the price I am stuck with boots that are a SERIOUS DANGER TO MY TOES! The upper section is cozy but the foot part is useless - where the stitching is,above the toe area, you actually feel the chill penetrating - Really disappointing as they look great but my toes tell another story - and I had woollen socks on! I had to come back and put on my old Merrils - Not a happy customer at all.

I oredered these shoes after reading all of the good reviews on this brand. I never had this brand of shoes before. When I recieved them, they were great. They looked great and kept my feet warm in the cold. However, when it came time for the true test in the snow, these boots LEAKED. I wore them in the snow of 4-5 inches and within minutes water started seeping through and my feet wet. Do not get for these shoes if you intend to keep your feet dry and warm in the snow. Maybe in the cold yea, but not the snow. Wish i didn't spent the $140 on these shoes and went with another brand.

Please read the one-star reviews. Many people are having the same problem with the rubber cracking on the sides of the toes at the bend points. My boots only lasted 2 years when I encountered the same problem. There is obviously a problem with the material. These are not $40 Kmart boots. It's ridiculous to pay $160 for something that only lasts 2 years.

Really disappointed, couldn't get my foot in past the top tight elastic... sending them back. Why did you make the top area so darn tight with no expansion possible?

I was looking for a stylish winter boot that was also comfortable and warm. These boots checked all the boxes!

Absolutely love them! So comfortable, and i wish i could get away with wearing them during summer but I will wear my Sorel sandals instead. Top brand for me.lost count of how many pairs I have-so great for PNW life!

I love the quality, warmth and functionality of this boot. I appreciate the room in the toe box for when you wear thicker socks.

2nd pair had last one over 30 years. They technically did not even wear out

Highly recommend these boots for deep snow conditions!

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 snowmobile's. 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.

Just wanted to share my dad's story- he's 92 and we just ordered new liners for his Caribous. I asked how many liners he's been through because I remember these boots from when I lived at home. He got to thinking and figured out he got his boots in 1978! He said cold feet made a hunting trip miserable so he stretched his budget to get Caribous and "fell deeply in love" with them (his words). He lived in Illinois and Wisconsin for years with them and still wears them in Nebraska. The uppers and rubber are in great condition and he's still deeply in love. I thought if any product deserves a rave review this is it!

Best winter boots made. Second pair I have purchased. First one for my wife and this one for a close friend of the family.

I bought these to replace my husbands 45 year old pair. They fit, but are a little taller than his old pair

Very stylish and keeps my feet warm. They go perfect with all my outfits!
