Customer Reviews SOREL Caribou

Disclaimer: I'm a size 8, and ordered an 8.5 -- which I regret, as the boots wound up being a tad too large for me, even with a double layer of wool socks. HOWEVER: I was out in Anchorage for about a week volunteering for the Iditarod. and these boots were very comfortable. The fact that they were just a bit too large didn't impede function at all. I was outside traipsing around in snow 90% of the time, and not only did these boots keep my feet totally warm, but dry.

I am so glad I bought these boots!! They are beautifully styled and do the job they were designed to do. They are so warm and toasty I couldn't believe I was walking through snow! I got plenty of compliments too! I'm glad I listened to advice to get a half size smaller because that worked out well. They are very roomy! I'm normally a 7 1/2 but got a 7. Also I didn't find them too heavy at all. I can't say enough good things about these boots, they're just perfect. I got the black colourway.

This is the first time purchasing Sorel boots. Normally I buy Timberland because I have been wearing forever and they also sell quality boots at an affordable price. However this year, I bought Sorels during their end of year sale and couldn't be happier. Great value at price and feels good on your feet.

This is my third pair of Sorel snow boots in the last 40 years, so I can say they are durable. The Caribou is the style I've worn for the last 20 years. I just bought the newest version. The new, improved sole provides superior traction on ice and snow. I think it's important that customers know that this boot snugs up tight against your legs or pants so even if you're in snow that's deeper than these boots your feet stay warm and dry, no snow will fall in to your boots, so you do not need a taller boot.

I purchased these to replace my husband's 20+ year old pair. They were replaced, not because of any defect, but because gel foot warmers had melted themselves into the boot. Here's to 20 years in the new pair!

These were recommended by a friend. Bought a pair for me and a pair for my daughter. We absolutely LOVE them! They look great on and keep our feet SO warm. Only boots I will ever buy again! We live in San Diego but go to Big Bear throughout the winter! Thank you Sorel!

I bought this boot to replace a similar pair that were 12 years old which have packed out a bit. They are warm, waterproof and very comfortable. I use them at work as a ski school greeter for the Breckenridge Ski resort. They look very attractive with my down skirt and tights. These are the BEST boots ever! I will take my old pair to VT where I have a second residence. I bought a half size larger so I could wear woolly socks with them.

The women's Caribou boots by Sorel came to my attention at just the perfect time! I live in Minnesota and this winter's been a doozy for shoveling and snow blowing. It used to be that I would stay fairly warm...except for my feet. These boots changed that! They are so comfortable and solidly built. Though I am definitely ready for Spring, the women's Caribou boots helped to make this winter much more enjoyable!

Received my boots last week and have been wearing them in minus double digit weather with the wind chill much colder here in Minnesota and they are the absolutely warmest boots! I had to replace my 25 year old pair of Sorel's finally and these are as warm if not warmer and lighter than my old pair. Totally happy with the purchase.

These boots have gone the distance this year! The coldest winter on record with wind chills -70, cold enough for the city to declare an emergency and close the city! My feet never got cold! Shoveling and snow blowing hours outside and toasty warm. Will always wear Sorels from now on!!!

I bought these because the boots I had been wearing since 2002 (a different brand) had finally given out. I hadn't worn Sorel's since the 1990's when I would go snowboarding as a teen. I forgot how amazing they are comfy, warm, waterproof. I honestly don't do a lot in them but shovel snow and walk, but they're very comfortable and I'd recommend them to anyone. I would say though, because they seem to run larger than my usual shoe size (10 mens in Vans) that you should make sure they fit you well. Definitely make sure they fit well if you plan to do a lot of outdoor activity like hiking and long walks on a regular basis to make sure you don't get a blister. Maybe go a half size smaller unless you're planning to wear thick socks. But one note about thick socks these boots are so warm! You really won't need them unless you're literally going to be in 40 below zero weather, or if your feet are perpetually cold.

I used the steel toed caribou boot in the 1980's when I was in the Material Department of the BN Railroad in Minneapolis. This caribou boot is the same but without the steel toe. It is very comfortable and does keep my feet warm. Ed Burns Retired Railroader, Minneapolis, MN

After sifting through countless reviews I decided to go with my normal size which was a 9. It fits but I think I could have Worn a 9.5 especially with ski socks or thicker socks; however I still have almost a 1/2" thumb width from the toe so I'm keeping them! I would Suggest though to size a 1/2" up if you will wear thicker socks. My ski socks are not overly thick. I purchased The buff color and love the color! I did expect though from other reviews for them to be too clunky or look obnoxiously big; however they are the cutest snow boots I own now! I think they feel like I'm wearing tennis shoes not boots!I'm so happy I chose the buff color, because the buff color goes with anything, such as skinny jeans or worn with my ski gear to walk around in. I have Not had the opportunity to wear them in the snow but they are warm!

I purchased these boots as I needed something with good tread so I wouldn't keep falling in any snow or ice. They are awesome!! They fit perfect. They keep my feet warm and dry. Totally worth the money spent on these. Just ordered my husband a pair also!!! You won't be disappointed.

These by far are the BEST snow boots I've ever had. Dry, warm, easy to take off and clean and great traction in the snow. My other pair were stolen at work (which were over 25 years old but looked like new) and I just had to get a new pair. Received just in time of our snow season and could not be happier. Love these boots. Never found another higher quality made boot that works this great.

I bought this boot for my boyfriend for Christmas (because I love my women's version so much) and they were HUGE on him - originally ordered a 10.5 mens. Ended up exchanging for a 9 and they were perfect. This is a timeless and functional boot.

The boot feels wonderful to put on, soft, easy on and off and very forming/comfortable. The boot is also very durable, waterproof and heavy duty. Best of both worlds and cannot say enough great things.

These boots are amazing! I bought them for my sons for our recent trip to Iceland. We were outside snowmobiling in the glaciers all day and their feet stayed warm throughout the day. I highly recommend them! Thank you Sorel!

This boot is true to size and is very warm. I'm looking forward to wearing them for many years to come.

When I was 12, my Dad took me to the hardware store and bought me winter boots, a pair of Sorel pac boots. I loved them so much, I kept wearing them even thought they were too small for my feet. Many years later as an adult, I bought a new pair of boots, another brand. They were decent, but no where near what I expected and that was when I decided someday, I was going to get another pair of Sorels! Well after too many years, I finally order a new pair and got them. WOW! I am not sure what else to say! The quality is unmatched, they fit perfect, they kept the snow and water out and when I put my feet in them, they are so soft it feels like a hug! Thank you Sorel for continuing to make the best boots in the world!
