Customer Reviews SOREL Kinetic™ Caribou

I bought these first in the brown and then in gray. The brown are the only shoes I will wear now. I wanted something in between a tennis shoe and a hiking boot and these are perfect. They are super cute, lightweight, and so comfortable. I get many compliments on them. They do fit very slim. The brown fit me in a size 8.5, which is the same size I wear in Joan of Arctic wedges. I usually get 9s in duck boot style Sorels. The gray pair I received ran shorter in the toe and slightly tighter than the brown so they did not fit me as well and I returned them. I tried a 9 on in the store and it was way too big in the toe. For reference my foot is on the narrow side of average. I hope they put out more shoes in this style next year. They would be 5 star if not for the off sizing.

Definitely order up; per other reviewers, I ordered a half size up and they are still on the snug side and I won't be wearing with thick socks. Other than that, super cute and comfortable!

Can't tell you how many compliments I get when I wear these. So far they work walking on snowy sidewalks to the bus/train and all day at the office (I work in a casual office) with skinny jeans. I wish they were a teeny bit roomer so I could wear a warmer/thicker sock. And I wish the tongue of the shoe was less bulky or streamlined somehow - it can feel uncomfortable at first and towards the end of the day. A half size up may have helped. This is my first pair of Sorels and will not be my last.

Runs at least a half size small. Love it other than that!

At first I was a little unsure about these shoes. I couldn't tell if they were suppose to be a boot or sneaker (I know it mentions it in the description) but once I looked at them as more of a boot, I loved them (all about mindset). They have kept my feet warm and dry, nice cushion and traction. It does feel a little tight in the toe box however I'm hoping that'll get a little more comfortable as I wear them. A lot of reviews mentioned to size up, I stuck with my normal size as I have with all my other sorels.

I get compliments on these every time I wear them. I wear a 10 normally but purchased an 11. Prob could have ordered a 10.5 but I can wear super thick socks with the 11. Love them!

These boots are very comfortable to walk in, and much more lightweight than they look. I wanted something shoe-like that would keep my always-cold feet warm this winter, and these fit the bill pretty darned well. If there was a change I'd recomment, it'd be a wool footbed for even more warmth, but I'm definitely keeping them!

I don't like how looks in my feet, doesn't have good shape and hurt in the front. I don't know about the insulation, because I still having my feet cold when I wear them. I thinking need to try them more so I can get used to.

We have had our first snow fall and these shoes have bee great! Warm, comfy and stylish! I would recommend sizing a 1/2 a size up. They felt a little snug with a thicker sock.

This boot felt way to cool for me, but I decided to give it a try. I have found that I vary in sizes of Sorel boots. In my OG Joan of Arctic Wedge boot, I ordered an 8 and should have ordered an 8.5. In my recently acquired Joan of Arctic Chelsea wedge, the 8.5 is perfect. I ordered an 8.5 in these Kinetic Caribou boots and they felt tight/too small with no socks on, which is why I'm giving them 4 stars. I think I need a 1/2 size up to even consider wearing socks with these. These also felt narrow, so that is something to consider. Other than the small fit, they look awesome and feel good without being too heavy or chunky. I am excited to try the 1/2 size up and hopefully those work!

I love Sorels love the style love that they are specific to inclement weather love them, but I have now ordered and returned 3 pairs, I have an average width not wide not narrow but their sizing is just off, squeezes my toes even when I size up sadly I cannot wear Sorel due to this

These are really cute! However, they aren't very comfortable along the top of your foot so I'm a little disappointed. I really expected amazing comfort for the price
