Customer Reviews SOREL Caribou™ X Boot Chelsea Waterproof

Easily the most hurtful pair of boots I've ever worn. Fab looks and quality and comfortable for the feet. For the shins though...OHMY. I wore them to walk five blocks to my sister's house and back. Had a tea with my niece. Total duration of the outing about 90 mins. Was wearing winter socks and joggers, and yet. Bled on the left shin, got blue on the right shin. And the pain! The size on the feet is correct and comfy. I'm a fairly athletic runner, but I don't have particularly thick shins. I do have other Chelsea booties with elastic sides, including from Sorel, but never experienced anything this painful and hurtful. Dreadful.

These shoes are cute but they are impossible to get on. They absolutely need a zipper. The neck and shaft are so narrow that there's no way of getting your foot into the actual shoe. I am returning them without even having to been able to put them on. Zappos friends, avoid these unless you have the absolute thinnest feet in the world (in which case the wide foot and toe box will not work for you).

These are such as waste of gorgeous looking and good quality confection and materials. Those elastic sides though...They are like literal sandpaper. I've never experience something like that. They left deep blisters on both of my lower legs through winter socks and jogger pants. I cannot even. I don't have particularly thick ankles (at all) and I have worn Sorel, Chelseas, and booties happily for decades. It's a shame how hurtful and these are and how poorly the elastic material was both chosen and placed. Unexplainable.

These are such cute fall boots, when you first put them on it will feel like they are too tight and you can’t get your foot in. But try to get it in and after you wear them they will stretch out and be fine.

These boots are awesome, insulated and have a great fit - however, they need to be broken in first. I first wore moleskin on the outside of my ankles for about 8 times. Once they have been worn a bit, they stretch and end up very comfortable all day.

Excellent!

It's so cute and comfortable!

I have a wide-ish foot & had no issue putting these on. The stretch panels aren’t well placed but are not as terrible as previous reviews made them. I fully intended to return based on those. However I wore them on a dog walk in wet weather right out of the box and my feet stayed dry & no blisters or rubs. They are a little roomy in my normal size 9, and would accommodate thicker socks quite comfortably. They look super cute with barrel jeans & other wide leg styles as well as slimmer pants. They are a chunky trendy look, even for winter boots. They are a functional keeper!

Cute and I don’t struggle to get them on as other reviews have said. They do slip around a lot though. Sized up due to sorels usually running small for me- then went with normal size- could have sized down but I already wore them. Usually an 8.5 but 8 would have been a better choice.
