Customer Reviews SOREL Caribou

My first pair of caribou boots were purchased 20 years ago. I replaced the liners twice throughout that time. I am just now getting my second pair even though my first pair still has life left in it. I have never been disappointed in any type of weather when using these boots. Living in Michigan, they are perfect!

The Caribou boots are warm and wonderful, as we might expect from Sorel--Sorels are awseome. Be sure to order your regular size! I ordered a size smaller after reading numerous reviews. I sometimes take a 5 1/2 in a shoe so ordered a 5 instead of a 6. Big mistake. I take a six in these as I always do in a boot (and in some shoes). True-to-size!!!

I have recently purchased the black Caribou for myself and have more than enjoyed trolling around inside and out with them. They are slightly large due to ms really being a 6.5 and these only run in whole sizes. I originally found these boots because my mother in law had purchased her son a pair of the original color Caribou and he loved them as well. I would most definately incourage someone to purchase these boots!

I probably look a little funny walking around the streets of Manhattan in boots that are meant for Colorado-like snow, but after all the snow we've been getting here, I couldn't be happier that I have these Sorel's! I literally stomp through slushy puddles without a second of hesitation. They're completely waterproof, and the tred is awesome for the snow and ice. They're super warm. I've only been wearing them with thin trouser socks so far, and have no need for anything thicker. I walk over a mile to work in them, and have found them to be extremely comfortable. The one thing I will definitely say is that they run big. I ordered a 6, and I'm normally a 7. The woman I spoke with in customer service assured me that I should order a size smaller, and she was definitely right. The 6 is perfect for me. Overall, the boots are great. They were exactly what I was looking for!

Great winter/snow boot!! They do run big, I'm normally an 8, purchased a 7, fit is perfect. They are incredibly warm, perfect for playing in the snow with toddlers. They do feel a bit "klunky" at first, but you adjust to them quick!!! I purchsed the boot in black - love 'em. Great boot, can't say enough really... Thanks, Sorel!!!

These boots are SEXY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They are a great gift, all my women are SOREL women!!!!!!!!! The boots are fantastic for Boston winter weather. If your wearing a skirt or wearing jeans they look great on. Fighting cold deep snow or walking through city slush these boots do the trick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The quality is there for years, you can not find a better boot. They are mountain booots, city boots and all the time boots. When the weather hits hard. All I can say is the work..........I am in law enforcement and wish they made an all black men's caribou to include the liner..........Stay Happy, Stay Warm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

beautiful boot well made perfect for the cold weather !!!!

Replaced my last pair, only lasted 25 years, with these beauties. Nice urban theme color scheme, Noir on Noir. Always practical, just kick em off at the door, slip on in on the way out. Massive traction, completely dry and warm. Look stylish plowing through the slush and mush. Why not go with the proven leader Sorel? Your toes will be toasty and your mind free to enjoy the journey. In survival school they teach you to always have an extra pair of dry socks. Cause once your feet are wet and cold your mind goes next. Zero chance of this ever occurring sporting Sorel Caribou.

I really like these boots and highly recommend them. I have worn them in deep snow, slush, and puddles and my feet always stay dry and warm. They take a little while to break in and I was walking kind of funny at first, but it didnt take long for them to loosen up. I am usually an 8-8.5 so I ordered an 8. Once my foot is inside, even with the lining in, I feel that they are kind of big. But, I have no trouble walking in them now and my feet stay very comfortable so I can't complain. My boyfriend and sister are jealous of my snow boots and are going ot get a pair of these for themselves!

Living and working on Ellsworth Air Force Base, South Dakota places great demands on you and your feet during the winter. The Caribou shoes have my military stamp of approval. Combating the brutal winters/blizzards accompanied by hurricane force winds combined with subzero temperatures is like death trying to remove snow without wearing this necessary footwear. My last pair were abducted by my son without prior authorization by my off duty supervisor, my lovely and wonderful wife. I just didn't know my wife gave him my favorite winter boots to wear because the temperatures outside had surpassed -5 below zero. My son, who is wearing my other Caribou's are still in great serviceable condition after 15 years of service. When my wife realized that my favorite snow boots were abducted without higher headquarter approval (that would be me), well it was the perfect excuse to buy some more!

I have put off getting good winter boots because I am frugal and I thought doubling up wool socks in boots from a New England catalog would make up the difference. It just doesn't work. Spend the extra money on the Caribou's and your feet will never regret it. The Caribou's are beyond comfortable, they keep my feet warm in snow, on concrete and in the woods.

They look and feel great. Wearing them makes trumping through the snow plenty of fun. I might be a little happier if these are available in half sizes. My foot size is 8 to 8 1/2. If possible I'd have bought 7 1/2 instead of 8. I'll adapt with socks.

I ordered these boots in the tan color and was so excited when I finally got them (I live on the East Coast and we have been having some heavy snow this winter). I wear a size 10 and I thought that they fit perfectly. I tried them on with my heavy ski socks as well as barefoot and they fit well either way. When I say that the lining is warm, I mean WARM and the lining is super soft and well cushioned. I didn't slip on the ice when I went to shovel my driveway thanks to the soccer-cleat like sole. I also like the fact that the boots are designed to easily tuck your pants into the boots--I didn't have to struggle with my jeans to get them into the boot. I would say that the only downside is that these boots are so heavy-duty is that it is somewhat awkward driving with them, but it is a minor issue (I think that it is harder to drive in high-heels). Buy these!

I'm a true 10.5 and ordered the 10; at first they were a little snug getting on and taking off but after a couple days, all is well! So far, I've worn them snowmobiling, walking the doggies, hauling firewood, running errands in town, and to a party (all in snow, snow, snow). I love these, they are as practical as they are good looking.

My wife and I each purchased a pair of Caribou Sorels in mid December. We have received a lot of snow here in Utah, followed by extremely cold temperatures. These boots are grip well on ice

This boot is comfortable, chic, and simply classic. I normally wear about a 7.5 and so I bought a size 7. They are snug but fit perfectly. I haven't had a chance to wear them out in the snow yet, considering I live in Georgia. But when I do, I know I will love them even more. And if you're debating on this style or another one, get this one. They were featured in a J.Crew spread last winter and therefore are super stylish and chic.

I initially saw this boot in a Vogue picture online. I immediately set out to find it. I was pleasantly surprised at the reasonable price as well as the features of the boot. I'd been searching for a good winter boot for several years and this was an attractive as well as functional choice. I read reviews before ordering, so I ordered a half size lower than what I normally wear. The boots arrived nicely packaged and in great condition. I tried them on with and without socks and the fit was perfect. Not too tight but just tight enough so there won't be any rubbing or chafing when walking. They were a little heavy, but that's ok. They were also very warm completely through the toe box which is hard to find. I've recommended this boot to everyone I know.

These are my second pair. They feel great and last forever. Ijust wanted a second pair in a different color. They are super-warm and classic-stylish.

My husband complains of feet being cold all the time. I got him a pair for ice fishing and he used them the 1st time this weekend and happy as can be. Feet never got cold even in the snow and ice. He loves them

I have had a couple pair of these boots over my life, and they are extremely comfortable and warm. Best boot for really cold snow covered terrain. They have a great grip on ice and slick surfaces. Great for work, play, and just hanging out. My feet never get cold in them.

After reviewing other's reviews, I sized down. I usually wear a size 8 in a tennis shoe, bought a size 7, the boot fits great. They look well made, feel fairly cushiony for a snow boot. These are definitely not snow bunnie boots, but if you are looking for a comfortable boot you can actually use in snow year after year, these rock!

Great shoes, they do run a big, though I agree half sizes would probably be better for women. I got a full size smaller than I normally am, which is fine, but only just. Ideally I should have gotten just a half size smaller. The customer service of Sorel is excellent!! Very helpful, and they ensured quick delivery! Great product, would definitely use this website again!

My son had requested these boots for Christmas and even though I didn't like the idea of giving boots for Christmas I gave in. This was the gift that he was most excited about! He loves them and has worn them everyday since.

My niece has wanted Sorel boots for years, but could never find her size. She wears a size 12 in women's shoes and most retailers do not carry any boots over size 10. Her feet are very narrow so the wider men's shoes wouldn't work. Her brother wanted to buy her boots for Christmas. We checked the Sorel website and they had a size 12 in stock. We happily ordered the boots and were very grateful when Sorel upgraded the shipping free of charge and the boots arrived in time for Christmas. My niece as thrilled. The boots fit great. Now we just need some snow... Thanks Sorel for a great experience. And a great boot. In my niece's size.

This pair of Sorels is my 1st pair...but its all I buy for my kids!! So I knew they would be awesome boots!! I did alot of reasearch On boots for women before I bought these! And caribous are perfect! They ate very warm, comfy and attractive!! Can't say enough good Things about them!!
