Customer Reviews SOREL Caribou

1st pair lasted 15 years Not as comfortable as 1st pair the sole is different and you can feel the rubber bumps when you walk

Soles delaminated after 30 times worn. Unacceptable for this price point.

Safety concern - BEWARE! I purchased these boots for the snow - and while they do feel comfortable and keep you warm - there is absolutely no traction on floor when going indoors. We went to a restaurant while in the snow, and naturally the floors are wet from tracking in snow. There is absolutely no traction on floor - I slipped, flew in air, and fell on my back/head. I'm thankful I wasn't carrying my baby at the time. Extremely unsafe and do not advise purchasing. You can't expect people to take off their snowboats when going in a restaurant or store.

Comfortable, warm but a complete pain taking the boots off. Once you take the boot off the complete lining of the boot comes out. These boots would be great if this didn't happen, Every single time!

Way too bulky. Didn't like how they looked on my feet.

Returns cost money and shipping (even expedited) takes forever. Buy from somewhere else! PS. They sure don't make them the way they used to...

I bought this boot along with a pair for my wife over one month ago. She got her pair along with a photo confirmation of delivery. I do NOT have my boots. Said they were delivered but there was no photo confirmation. Sorel opened an investigation with lazership and still no answer. Customer service seems like they have their hands tied. These boots will not make for great springtime footwear! Refund my money or send the boots!

Used less then 5 times, rubber upper became unglued from base and split down to the toe. Very disappointing at this price point, I have another pair of everyday boots that have zero issues. Bought these to shovel the driveway or go sledding on the handful of times we get snow each year. Being they are over a year old no warranty.

My daughters and I bought these boots for my husband for Christmas in 2020. We live in Colorado so he only wears them in winter. The rubber on the uppers has split completely through on both boots along the big toe side. One of the leather straps that held D-ring for laces has also torn off. His pair of Polar Sorels that he owned prior to these lasted over 20 years. Too bad quality is not at all the same.

I just bought theses boots for a trip in Duluth to keep my feet warm. So uncomfortable and heavy and gave me sores on the back of my ankles z I don't recommend this boot at all. Very disappointed in my first and probably last pair of boots I buy from this company unless it's made right.

A few years ago I decided it was time to retire my Sorel's I had since I was 10-12 or 25ish years. Bought these. Use only to walk from house or work to the car and back. Occasionally for walks. Nothing as crazy as when I was young and played in the snow for hours on end. After 1 season, maybe less, the sole started to wear through on the inside so it is just the empty squares (I bought some liners in so I couldn't feel pattern of the soles and make it it so I could continue using). Beginning of this winter season (start of 4th winter of wearing these) found a crack in the top of the foot area so if the liner gets wet when snow touches the boot. Bought flex seal so I can continue wearing them the rest of this winter. The quality of Sorel seems to have gone down hill. Maybe sorels are now a fashion line instead of a real quality outdoor boot. Will be researching other brands. And I used to recommend Sorel's to anyone looking for a good quality winter boot

My feet get cold within 30 minutes working outside. I've tried regular, wool, and a combination of socks - makes no difference. Very disappointed.

It's so strange that the interior boot is not connected to the exterior boot. It's very frustrating to take them on and off. Also the ankle sections rub badly when you are wearing thin socks.

I ordered these boots when they were 50% off and waited for a delivery update. There was none so I found the original order email to check the status and apparently my order was cancelled. No email telling me why it was cancelled. No super deal. No new boots to replace my 39 year old Sorel's. Nothing.

I live in Alaska, so I understand that conditions here are tough, but I have only had these one winter season (which is not over for us yet!) and the rubber has completely cracked and separated around the top part of the boot. So there is a gap several inches wide exposing the insulated boot on the inside, and ensures my boot fills with snow and my foot is not protected. My main use was on dog walks on flat, snowy trails. Same thing happening on other boot; cracks around toes but not fully separated yet. Overall, poor quality with no longevity.

The shoes are comically large. They feel and look like clown shoes. I could not comfortably walk in these and I'd be embarrassed to wear them in public. The return process has been a pain thus far as well..

It did not keep my husbands feet as warm as advertised. Even with and extra liner in the sole. Very disappointed.

I really wanted to love these boots. At first they were great for everyday use. I tried hiking through the snow with them and it didn't take much time for the rubber to rip and the boot to become soaked. I had to stop wearing them out of fear of getting hypothermia.

My first pair of Sorels lasted 20 years so of course I purchased another pair when it finally came time. The second pair lasted only 2 winter seasons! The rubber cracked on both boots (and not on the bridge of the foot or an obvious wear spot). Sorel would not warranty-stand behind their product.

I've had these boots for 4 years, very light use each year. They were never my main boot, only used in special circumstances during winter. Just a couple of times each year. In that time, the rubber has cracked where the toe bends. Sorel's solution to the problem is to just buy a new pair of boots..... I don't trust them anymore, way too many reviews of this same exact problem happening.

Ordered for the first time and my order arrived incorrect. the size I ordered was not what I received and the boots had a odor, almost like used boots. customer service responded timely. i won't be refunded my credit for shipping until my credit card is refunded as per your customer service email. which i might add is not making me happy. i have to do the work and then email them to be refunded. not my mistake this all happened. Winning would make me give your product another try, thank you

I live in Wyoming and a good pair of winter boots are essential. This is my third pair of Caribou boots. The first pair lasted 24 years. The 2nd pair lasted one year then the rubber on the toes cracked and the boots began to leak. I figured I just got a bad pair. I received this pair as a Christmas gift and they lasted less than 90 days, cracking in the exact same place as the last pair. These boots are junk. DO NOT BUY.

I recently replaced my very old Sorels, and they were a great boot (light, warm and dry) for decades. Unfortunately the new Sorel Caribou boot I bought are not waterproof as advertised. Before the first use, I applied a waterproofing leather conditioner (recommended by the retailer), and although I've only used them three times, they leak at the seam. I was not in deep snow either, only 2-3 inches. Wet feet are not warm feet. Very disappointed and will try additional waterproofing or attempt to return the boots.

I also noticed this year one boot has cracks where the boot creases. The boots look brand new with moderate use but unfortunately one boot will leak now Poor quality rubber. Funny how the right boot is the only one that is cracked. I had a pair of different brand from 20 years ago they are still holding up after getting beat up. They have no tread left and that's all the wear someone could expect from a quality product.
