Customer Reviews SOREL Caribou

I have searched for two years to find mens size 17 boots. These fit very well and are wide across the foot. Finally, a boot that fits! They are warm and tall to keep me warm and dry. Thanks Sorel!

I just got my Sorel Caribou Boots I read of Reviews on this boot so I had to buy them because the Snow Storms in New Jersey are bad At lease my foot will be warm and dry Like off brands they cant hold a candle to sorel boots they fit perfectly specialy with my prosthetic leg

I am here to tell you that I LOVE my Caribous! I have had them for many, many years, and they have held up better than I have any right to expect. I only wish I had had them when I was living in Toronto - I could not afford them when I was a starving student, but NY can be extremely snowy too, and they have done their job beautifully, and stood the test of time. I do find them a little hard to get on and off, because I usually wear 2 prs wool socks under them, and now, after at lest 35 yrs of limited, snowy day use, the leather is beginning to crack. Probably from the crud they put on the snow and ice to make it go away (instead of shoveling it!) and my failure to use leather soap and neat's foot oil on them once in a while. I have gotten every penny's worth out of them that I put in, and then some. Can't recommend them highly enough! Savvy

I purchased these boot for my daughter as part of her gear for her freshman year at Bennington College in Vermont. I wanted her to have boots that would stand up to the Vermont winters, and be stylish enough for her to willingly wear them. As far as her wearing them goes: These were the first items set out to be packed in the car. It's still in the 80s and I suspect it will be at least a week or two before temperatures plummet on her campus (!), but I am confident in at least this part of her college experience: Her feet will be warm and dry, and her footing secure.

I purchased a pair of these boots thirty years ago and I still wear them today. They are nearly brand new and show no signs of wear or breakdown. I live in the New England and we get amazing winters here. These boots have slogged through icy water and snow and my feet are always toasty warm and stay dry. Top rated product!!! Worth Every Single Penny!!!!!! Now I'm getting them for all my kids!

Bought m previous Sorel's about 25 years ago for winter hiking; they never really wore out as I still use them for snow shoveling and walking the dog on really snowy days. I wanted to up date my snowshoeing and winter hiking gear.After looking around and trying on several different vendors' boots, I came back to my Sorels in their latest version. I really like the fit and their grip in the snow. I feel like I'm on solid ground with them. I suspect this second pair will also last me many years of winter trekking!! Thanks for a great product!

I wore these during two winters in Northern Poland and I'm still kicking myself for leaving them behind for my landlord to use. The only time my feet got cold was when the thermometer was below -25C. My feet were never wet! I could pull out the insoles for quick drying or washing due to foot sweat and be ready to go in a few hours. If I move to Hokkaido Island Japan, I'm buying another pair (shale/stone) and this time I won't be leaving them behind.

I actually ordered these boots in a size 8 and when I got them they were really big. I returned them for the size 7 and they fit great. Still room for thick comfy socks and are very comfortable. They are a little heavy but I figure it gives me a bit more support out on the snow and ice. They go with everything from leggings to jeans and even my sweater dresses. I am very pleased with this purchase and Sorel has made a lifetime customer out of me.

At first I thought they were was to manly. And then I walked my dog in 2 ft of snow, and now I love these boots. Super warm, super comfy, and quite cute! They do run large. I wear a 7.5 so I got the 7, but I wish I purchased the 6.

these boots definately live up to their hype. I had bought some sorels for my boyfriend for christmas and after hearing him talk about how much he loved them i decided I'd buy myself some. Now I'm hooked!

I bought these to replace a pair I bought years ago for some time I spent in Montana. My old ones fit sloppy, but that's because I let the stupid salesperson in a sporting goods store talk me into the size a little large. My old boots were destroyed and I realized after the first snow storm of the year I needed to replace them. I bought these Sorels and LOVE the way they fit, feel and look. So happy with my new pair...normally I wear a half size but I know these do run large and I'm cozy in my new boots. I just wish it would snow.

I wear a size 6 1/2 and was disapointed that when I ordered a sigze 7 I could not get my foot in the liner. So that pair is going back and I ordered a size 8, wish they came in half sizes. I stole my first pair from my husband 30 years ago and loved them. I will never be without a pair of Sorel boots.

These are a very nice pair of boots.

These boots are very comfortable. And my feet have never been so warm.

Super warm, Super comfy! Walk through puddles and over the snow with no problem!

Though we don't get massive amounts of snow in Pittsburgh, we get snow and ice, and I've got a couple of Cardigan corgis to walk -- they need lots of exercise, AND they have short legs and therefore a low center of gravity, AND they're entirely made out of muscle and concrete, AND though they're pretty well behaved they sometimes pull me all of a sudden when they see friends or squirrels. So I've been terrified in icy conditions. I've tried many things -- cleats on my boots, other boots, some other boots besides that. But my partner found that these boots had the best tread recommendation, and I bought a pair. They are astounding. They're warm, which is even more than I expected, and the thick sole means that the chill of the ice doesn't get through to my feet. They're heavy enough to give me a lower center of gravity, but not so heavy I can't walk. And several times I've started to slip on the ice, but the tread stops me. I love these boots. If I live long enough to wear them out, I'll buy another pair.

Got my boots, but they were quite large. I normally wear a women's 7 1/2, so I went up to an 8, but my feet were swimming in them. Returning them & getting a 7, based on other reviews that said they loosen up considerably after wear. Can't wait because they are so flippin' cute! They're rugged & undoubtedly tough, but very stylish, too.

I am just glad to get a size 12 womans shoe and I am sure once we get snow in VT they will work great. Just wish more shoe manufacturers would make shoes in size 12 as the mens equal is too wide and they are not in styles a woman would want. I would love a pretty pair of ladies boots but limited because of size.

I ordered these for hunting to keep my feet warm and that they do. There is plenty of room to wear big socks and they are comfortable to walk in yet durable. Love them!!!

bought these because I had a pair as a kid in the northen woods of Wis. growing up comfortable and very warm

My primary use for this boot is outside work and activities. These fit perfectly, relatively no break-in period. (Just a little stiff.) I keep them loosely laced for slipping on and off with no retying. The Caribou is exactly what I was looking for and given the quality will most likely last many years of tough winter work-outs.

absolutely love my new boots

I bought Sorel boots 25 years ago and still have them - no leaks, but the top of the liner is ripped. So I decided to get another pair, and the choice is clear. Why buy cheap footwear and have to replace it every year or two, when you can buy good quality boots that will last decades?

Throughout my childhood in upstate NY my parents each had a pair of these sitting next to the door all winter. Theirs lasted over 25 years. My new pair arrived right before a snowstorm here in Boulder CO, and they are great! Super-warm, durable, and still have that classic look. Thanks!

This boot is perfect for the cold weather. The height is perfect and the fact that it is completely closed makes snow play time and work time much more fun. Also the liner on the inside was not as warm as I expected. Not to mention that these boots are fashionable; they go with jeans, leggings, snow pants. If you wanted to you can even tuck your jeans into the boot and it becomes a great snow bunny look. Lastly, these boots are impossible to slipp in. Walking on ice is like driving with chains/4 wheel drive. Overall this are great boots and I would recommend them to any customer.
