Customer Reviews SOREL Kinetic™ Caribou

Love that these shoes have personality and style when so few winter shoes make the effort. Tested these out in Chicago after a light snow and they were great, temps were around 15*F and my feet stayed toasty. Even kept decent traction when I had to walk on ice. Very comfortable and will be my go to "winter sneaker" this season - perfect for my walk to the gym. I even managed to tie them just right so I can slip my feet in and out and get out the door quicker. I think an inside zipper would be the only thing that could improve them since wet and dirty laces from winter gunk are the worst. I'm consistently an 8.5 in majority of all brands, but recommend going up 1/2 a size for SOREL shoes for a comfortable fit.

Amazing shoes! I walked over 8 miles for 3 days on my trip in Europe in these shoes. I was impressed by quality and comfort. They felt like sport shoes but look much nicer.

First, these boots are ridiculously cute. I have very long narrow size 11 feet and the boots are a little snug in a few spots. It's a bit of a design flaw having the shoe cut in right where the balls of the feet are. That said, they are leather in those spots so I could see them stretching to form to my feet after I break them in. Other than that they feel great to walk in. With the huge rubber/PU tread they are very cushioned and springy. And they are very, very cute.

I read the previous reviews and bought a 1/2 size larger, but the boots are still too small and narrow (I normally wear 7, medium width, but buy 1/2 size larger for all Sorel styles). I’m ordering an 8 and hopeful the width also will work.

Just got these in the mail. I ordered a 1/2 size up after reading the reviews because I’m a 9.5. I just couldn’t go with a 10.5. I would have looked like Bigfoot. But I see how other reviewers said they ran narrow. They run really narrow!! I need cute warm shoes, that aren’t snow boots for being in Buffalo, NY and my daughter’s rink in PA. I love the style of these shoes, but I also hate when shoes don’t fit the way they’re supposed to. I ordered Sorels last year and had the same problem, but just tried to live with it. They’re too small as well. I was hoping to replace them with these. I’m going to wear them around the house to see if they soften up. Crossing fingers.

It was accurate that you should buy a size up. I’m normally 11 but bought 12 and they fit perfectly. I can’t imagine what buying an 11 would have felt like!

Very exact fit. A little snug and I’m a size 6. Maybe could have gone 1/2 size bigger to wear with thicker socks. But overall very comfy and warm.

Love the boots. They are super warm and comfy. I ordered a half size larger but could probably gone a full size larger. I just wear thin socks instead.
