Customer Reviews SOREL Kinetic™ Caribou

Very light and flexible and beautiful. The size pretty much matched my wear, but narrow, I would recommend buying half the size larger. I will conclude on quality and convenience after the season.

These are a great casual option for rainy days, but still look great and are very warm. My only reason for 4 stars is because on the pair I received, the tongue of one shoe had been stored wrinkled, and the nature of the fabric is not one to easily flatten. So it will start to curl and rub on the top of my foot and I have to adjust it.

I love these boots, but probably should've ordered a 1/2 size larger despite being told by manager that assisted me to stick with 8.5. Shoes not as comfortable with a bit thicker sock. Have a slight bruise on nail toe bed and hoping these boots will stretch. No sizes on website for over a month now - hope to be able to exchange soon.

This is a great waterproof shoe and very cushy on the inside. Keeps my feet very warm in the PNW but the boot definitely runs narrow.

It is super cute. I didnt like it at first online as the sole was so thick and wavy in the up close pictures. When they are on they give you some extra height. Nice for us short people. I tried to stretch them with a shoe stretcher but it really didn't help. Not my go to boot for the narrowness makes it not as comfortable as I hoped it would be. I have other Sorel boots that are super comfortable. I hope these will stretch out.

I received these for Christmas and they did not disappoint! They look great and are comfortable. My only complaint is that I had to go up 1/2 size not for length, but they are very narrow just above the toes.

These boots are really cute. I would recommend sizing up 1/2 size bigger than you normally wear. My only complaint is that the toe box is kinda snug.

I'm glad I bought this, should have bought it in a wide size though ( not sure if thats available) went on a hike and totally squeezed my little toe into a triangle. But I kept wearing it and it's has stretched. I like it mostly because of the ridged sole that looks pretty unique and fun and the pink laces and what not helps it not look too nerdy. Took me a long long time to find hiking boots that are super sturdy and functional that doesn't look like Tom , brad or chads . Happy about my purchase and I've shyly received quite a few compliments wearing it. Teehee

I am a Sorel fanatic (I currently own 10 different pairs of Sorels). This is my first time getting this style and these boots are GREAT. So comfortable, warm and the quality is great. These boots fit perfectly for me (I ordered my usual size), but I should note that I have very small and narrow feet. So for those who are mentioning the slim fit of these boots, I'd agree that is an accurate description. It works for me but may not work for others. The reason I couldn't give these boots a five-star review, however, is because the color of the boots ("Quarry") is not the same as what is pictured. The image shows the primary color of these boots being a cool gray/brown color, but in person, these boots are actually brown (in my opinion). Like, straight-up brown. I had to double-check my order and the website to make sure I didn't accidentally order the wrong color or that Sorel hadn't sent me the wrong boots. I should mention I have a particularly strong dislike for brown, tan, etc. when it comes to shoes, so having these more brown in person is probably more of an issue for me than it may be for others. I did think it was something worth noting for other purchasers, though. If you are like me and have a primarily black/gray wardrobe you are trying to match with, the black color may be a safer bet than Quarry. Despite the "miss" on the color, I have decided to keep these because I love the fit and style so much (and I also don't really love any of the other color options).

I wanted to love this boot. I am Canadian and have a great fondness for Sorels. Plus these were very stylish! I'm a slightly wide 5.5 and the 6 is still too narrow, even with very thin socks, so I'm sending it back. I wish Sorel made this in different widths.

I bought this boot in black & after reading the reviews I ordered half size up. They were still too short. They are narrow in the toe box & pushed my toes forward. I will reorder a full size bigger.

I really wanted to love this shoe. I wanted a Fall/Spring shoe/boot for all day wear. I love the look, but this shoe runs narrow. - Not usually a problem with Sorel. I already size up a whole size due to RA in right foot. Returned & bought a different style Sorel boot from a local store where I could try on. I ended up sizing up 2 whole sizes. New boot is still slightly narrower than normal for Sorel. I'm not sure if they changed manufacturers, or what. This is pair #5, and I've been elated with the product up until now. I don't mind paying for a quality product that actually fits well.

I wore these for the first time today and they were warm and comfortable for a 2.5 mile walk in 34 degrees. The weather was not wet so I can't comment yet about whether they keep my feet dry. My only concern is that the ankles are a little wide and might allow rain to get in from the top. I wear a 10 or 10.5 in Sorel shoes. This style works well for me in size 10.5 while wearing medium weight wool socks.

These sneaker/boots do not disappoint! I bought them to wear to work (on my feet a ton) and my feet love them! I love the look with jeans or leggings, they can be dressed up or dressed down! Would have given 5 stars but my only wish was that they were a tiny bit more breathable.

These are very cute winter boots! They are easy to pull on with skinny jeans since they're low and sit below them.

I love the shoe and have had several compliments! Drawback is the tight fit across the ball of the foot. I have yet to find a consistent size that fits me across styles of SOREL. For this shoe my best advice is 1/2 size larger than your smallest size SOREL.

After reading other reviews I ordered half a size larger than my normal shoe size. They fit great. They are fleece lined and are extremely warm! I live in the south and feel like they are too warm for our climate so sadly I'm returning.

I ordered the black/grey combo in size 7.5 based on the reviews that they fit small. I have a narrow foot and take between 6.5-7.5 in Sorel. They are narrow and were tight across my narrowist foot but the length was good. I was looking for a sturdier boot as I live rurally and walk on uneven ground often. These have a fairly soft sole and the wool across the front seemed to be a bit stretchy rather than hold your foot in place. I loved the way they looked but unfortunately I returned them.

Fits slightly narrow. Great for my use to be able to wear to work through the snow, ice and salt and be able to wear all day. I walk a lot and the sole is supportive.
