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?

Can't believe these are receiving 5 stars. I give them 1 star, and that's being charitable. They weigh a ton. Impractical for anything but a short walk. But the worst thing about them is the boot liner. I got the worst rash of my life on my lower leg from the recycled material used in the liner. The first time it happened I thought it was a fluke, but the next time I wore them it was even worse. Thank goodness Zappos has such extraordinary customer service. I called almost a year after buying these, and Dominique, the customer service representative I spoke to, could not have been more helpful. She arranged for me to return the boots free of charge, then price matched a pair of Keen boots I saw on another site, so I got a straight exchange for no additional charge. It's that kind of customer-focused experience that gives Zappos its deserved reputation. They have earned my trust and admiration, and I will gladly tell this story to many of my friends. Well done, Zappos!

Had these boots 40 years ago and was excited to find them again! A classic that won’t disappoint in cold, snowy conditions! No bad weather, just bad clothing choices! These are perfect!

I usually am wearing a size 11 (blundstones), but had to downsize to a 10 in Sorrel, and they're still plenty roomy. SO easy to slip on and off in winter snow and muddy slush and plenty warm in the Northern New Mexico mountains. I think it's funny that even though they're considered, or used to be, the standard winter boot, everbody complements them literally ever time I wear them. A great boot that is warm, comfortable, stylish, and long lasting. If they fit right and feel good, you just can't go wrong with these.

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

These are tried and true boots and still appear to live up to their legacy. Warm and comfortable. I have been wearing size 10.5-11 in most other shoes, but I had to downsize to 10 on these, Zappos was easy and accomadating with the return and shipping was fast. I'll stick to Zappos for my shoe needs.

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!

Boots are great I would order a half size down. The only criticism I could give is I wish the tongue of the boot had some fur or protection on it. Other than that, they work great for the winter

I bought these boots because I work outside and during the winter months in Massachusetts its cold, I purchased other boots but my feet would get cold, very uncomfortable to have cold feet. I decided to try out these Sorel Caribou boots, best decision I made, they are very comfortable and my feet are warm all day!

These boots are everything I wanted in a replacement pair! I've had my other pair of Sorels for 20 plus years. I bought them to snowboard in and they have lasted that long! highly recommend.

Bought bc of great reviews and classic style but when i first tried them on thought they may not provide enough warmth. I was wrong! Wore them with nice warm socks and pants that tucked into boot; walked in snow & stood in cold (20*F) for an hourfeet & toes stayed perfectly warm & dry!

Great quality I feel they will last a long time. Super comfortable and warm. Also 8 months pregnant and not scared to slip. They have great traction.
