Customer Reviews SOREL Caribou

I bought these boots to replace my old Sorel's (they were over 40 years old). I actually only needed new liners in the old ones, but was not able to find them in my size.

I actually love these boots, although when I opened the box I wasn't so sure I would. I wasn't expecting them to be quite as big and bulky as they are - especially in the toe area (although they don't feel big. It's more on the outside they look huge). BUT, they are SO warm and keep my feet super dry and really that's why I bought them. Great quality. Seriously can't beat them for the price. The generic ratings won't let me change - this boot is better than average.

I'be had these for a couple of winters. Very warm and comfy. I'm a size 8 but went to an 8.5 as I usually do in Sorel boots so I could wear a thicker sock. The width is a little wider than normal. They are a heavy boot but that was expected.

This boot is wonderfully warm for extended periods outside in very cold weather. When the boots arrived I was not able to completely advance my foot into the boot past the forward area where the laces begin. Since the boot width seemed adequate from the outside, my husband used his fist to stretch that area from inside the boot, just enough to allow my foot to pass. I expect that area will stretch over time but for now I wear a very thin sock in order to slip my foot past that area of the boot.

Still breaking them in, but the height of the boot hits the calf in an uncomfortable spot. I'm hoping that tying them loose and more wear and tear will soften them up so they won't be so tight. Love the durability of this brand, and the look is great too. They are so warm, I've been wearing them around the house as house shoes too. Overall, really Love them :)

I am from Michigan and snow is expected. After going through a few different pairs of boots, I made the investment to buy these boots. They are a great boot for all kinds of cold weather and snow conditions. The only complaint that I have is they are a little heavy when you are walking for a long time but I assume that's because they are great quality. You won't be disappointed with this purchase!

These boots are perfect if you want something to keep your feet warm. I live in South Dakota, I hunt during the winter and my feet stay warm then entire time! They run about a half size big I think. Again, if you want something to keep your feet warm in the winter, these boots will be those go to boots for you.

I absolutely love these boots. I live in the upper Midwest so we get a lot of snow and cold. These boots keep my feet warm and dry while shoveling and while snowmobiling. I ordered my true shoe size because of other reviews but would probably order a half size up next time so I could wear a little thicker sock. They look awesome too.

These boots absolutely do their job - they are extremely warm and have great grips on the bottom. So they are a great winter/snow boot. The only reason I can't give them 5 stars is because they are really heavy. I wish they were slightly lighter and then they would be perfect.

I am normally a size 9 for shoes, but I ended up preferring a size 10. I like to have a little extra room when it comes to winter boots for thicker socks. It's a very stylish winter boot. A little chunky for my taste so I exchanged for Tofino II size 10.Good quality and comfortable though.

I have the Sorel duck boots in an 8.5 so when i bought these, i expected them to fit the same. They were 1 full size too large. They are a bit heavier than i would like but the joan of Arcs are too tall. i wish there was a lighter Caribou available. I had to swap them and pay to ship them back and forth.

This is my second pair of these. First pair was used and lasted about 10 years. Hoping to get the same amount of time out of these. I use them for walks with the dogs. Running quick errands and such 8 months out of the year. Will not abuse this pair as much as my first pair, ie using them for work. If you are looking for a comfortable pair of slip on boots for everyday light use, you will not go wrong buying these.

I found it was a heavy boot to walk for a long time.

These boots are definitely heavy duty. They fit slightly too large in my opinion but very good quality.

I ordered these boots a half a size small based on other reviews saying that they run large. Unfortunately, I found them to be a bit too small with a normal sock on and wish I had ordered my normal size. These are heavy duty boots! Not for the faint of heart for sure but I can tell they would be very warm and the tread is amazing! Great quality, beautiful boots.

I've had boots before and they never measured up to these.

This is my second pair of Caribou boots. For a warm, durable, comfortable boot, this is a staple for prolonged outdoor activity. It is not an athletic boot. I do not recommend snowshoeing or hiking in them. But for snowplay or outdoor chores, I don't think I'd wear anything else. I normally wear a 7-7.5, but opted for the 7.5 in this boot because I expected to wear thick socks. I had to return and order an 8. The width is actually fine, but the length seemed short. (It seems like all the boots are fitting smaller this year - I bought some as a gift for one of my daughters, and she had the same issue). I definitely recommend this boot, but do yourself a favor and order 1/2 size larger.

love them, just a bit too small. size up.

Love this boot and is very warm

I love the way this boot looked- but I actually ended up returning it. They are very comfortable, but they are also pretty heavy- like walking around in snow boarding boots. I would still totally recommend these boots if you are going to be in a heavily snowing area, but for me, I was looking for something a little lighter

Ordered these boots as they were highly rated. Was disappointed in the size and weight of these boots. The 8 was way too large for my foot. They were really heavy. They are made well, just didn't fit and were too heavy for me.

The boots are warm and durable.

Boot is warm. Does feel a bit narrow, I went a size larger than normal due to this. Not as comfortable as my Old Sorel Domninator boots they replaced, but they should work. Would be nice if they made wide boots.

I ordered these for winter vacations in Jackson Hole, WY. They've kept my feet warm and dry for miles of snowshoeing, through 9 consecutive hours of snowmobiling, and walking around town in the snow and ice during winter storms. I wear a 7.5 in shoes and an 8 in boots, but had to order a 7 in these. I still have plenty of room to wear them with two pairs of wool socks. They do rub the sides of my ankles a bit, but it's not very noticeable with thick socks. They are really heavy, but no boot has kept my foot warmer - and I'm prone to cold feet.

I'm give this boots to my husband and he felts in love with my and the boots!!!
