Great product This boot is perfect for the cold weather. The height is perfect and the fact that it is completely closed makes snow play time and work time much more fun. Also the liner on the inside was not as warm as I expected. Not to mention that these boots are fashionable; they go with jeans, leggings, snow pants. If you wanted to you can even tuck your jeans into the boot and it becomes a great snow bunny look. Lastly, these boots are impossible to slipp in. Walking on ice is like driving with chains/4 wheel drive. Overall this are great boots and I would recommend them to any customer. December 18, 2011
Gorgeous Boots! I bought these boots as a Christmas present to myself and I am so happy I did! I ordered the black pair and received them yesterday - they are gorgeous and well made!! (They remind my of $300 ski boots!) After reading the reviews I decided to to get a size 6 instead of my usual size 7. When I first tried them on they were a bit snug. But after walking around in them they got roomier and are now very comfortable. I also tried them on without the inside sock/lining and the boot was super big! I personally had trouble pulling out the liner - but if you tug from the fluffy top you will see where the liner seperates from the actual boot and you can pull out. The boots are on the heavy side so I don't forsee myself walking all day in them. Overall, I am happy with my purchase and looking forward to NYC's first blizzard! December 25, 2010
Just great! Bought m previous Sorel's about 25 years ago for winter hiking; they never really wore out as I still use them for snow shoveling and walking the dog on really snowy days. I wanted to up date my snowshoeing and winter hiking gear.After looking around and trying on several different vendors' boots, I came back to my Sorels in their latest version. I really like the fit and their grip in the snow. I feel like I'm on solid ground with them. I suspect this second pair will also last me many years of winter trekking!! Thanks for a great product!

Still kicking myself for leaving them behind in Poland I wore these during two winters in Northern Poland and I'm still kicking myself for leaving them behind for my landlord to use. The only time my feet got cold was when the thermometer was below -25C. My feet were never wet! I could pull out the insoles for quick drying or washing due to foot sweat and be ready to go in a few hours. If I move to Hokkaido Island Japan, I'm buying another pair (shale/stone) and this time I won't be leaving them behind. February 18, 2012
The boots have a great tread. The Caribou is very hard to get in and out of...I usually have someone pull them off for me. They are fairly warm but I wouldn't say good for -40 as rated The treads are great! I didn't feel as though they were really bulky or hard to walk in. I really do like the boots except for the fact they are so difficult to get on and off. I almost wish I had gotten the mens for that reason, I think they would have been easier to remove. February 16, 2012
LOVE LOVE LOVE THESE BOOTS! I actually ordered these boots in a size 8 and when I got them they were really big. I returned them for the size 7 and they fit great. Still room for thick comfy socks and are very comfortable. They are a little heavy but I figure it gives me a bit more support out on the snow and ice. They go with everything from leggings to jeans and even my sweater dresses. I am very pleased with this purchase and Sorel has made a lifetime customer out of me. February 13, 2012
Love this boot! At first I thought they were was to manly. And then I walked my dog in 2 ft of snow, and now I love these boots. Super warm, super comfy, and quite cute! They do run large. I wear a 7.5 so I got the 7, but I wish I purchased the 6. February 12, 2012
love these boots these boots definately live up to their hype. I had bought some sorels for my boyfriend for christmas and after hearing him talk about how much he loved them i decided I'd buy myself some. Now I'm hooked! February 10, 2012
Great for winter riding I wear a size 6 1/2 and was disapointed that when I ordered a sigze 7 I could not get my foot in the liner. So that pair is going back and I ordered a size 8, wish they came in half sizes. I stole my first pair from my husband 30 years ago and loved them. I will never be without a pair of Sorel boots. February 4, 2012
The right boot leaked Well I spent the whole day at work with a cold wet foot as the right boot leaked water in. I work outdoors and it was raining so It was not comfy at all. Then I had to pack them up and drive to a UPS Store to return them. Was actually disappointed I have bought several sorels over the years and was suprised it was a bad pair. Just waiting when you recieve them back(on their way last week).Since their winter outdoor work boots its important to have a good pair not sure who I will purchase from next. I love your product but am alittle leary of another uncomfortable day. January 29, 2012
Perfect These boots are very comfortable. And my feet have never been so warm. January 29, 2012
Super warm! Super warm, Super comfy! Walk through puddles and over the snow with no problem! January 25, 2012
Too Bulky While these boots were very nice, they were VERY bulky. If I wore them around, my feet would look way too big for my body. The liner was hard to get in and out of the boot. These boots would be great if you are using them for skiing but for walking around campus every day, a bit too much. I will say that they were very nice quality and will last for several years. January 24, 2012
What a relief to find these! Though we don't get massive amounts of snow in Pittsburgh, we get snow and ice, and I've got a couple of Cardigan corgis to walk -- they need lots of exercise, AND they have short legs and therefore a low center of gravity, AND they're entirely made out of muscle and concrete, AND though they're pretty well behaved they sometimes pull me all of a sudden when they see friends or squirrels. So I've been terrified in icy conditions. I've tried many things -- cleats on my boots, other boots, some other boots besides that. But my partner found that these boots had the best tread recommendation, and I bought a pair. They are astounding. They're warm, which is even more than I expected, and the thick sole means that the chill of the ice doesn't get through to my feet. They're heavy enough to give me a lower center of gravity, but not so heavy I can't walk. And several times I've started to slip on the ice, but the tread stops me. I love these boots. If I live long enough to wear them out, I'll buy another pair. January 20, 2012
Big but awesome! Got my boots, but they were quite large. I normally wear a women's 7 1/2, so I went up to an 8, but my feet were swimming in them. Returning them & getting a 7, based on other reviews that said they loosen up considerably after wear. Can't wait because they are so flippin' cute! They're rugged & undoubtedly tough, but very stylish, too. January 17, 2012
I love Sorel but: I love Sorel. These are my second pair of boots. The first was a different style and struggled to get them on. I have wide feet and my calves are bigger than most so it is difficult to find foots that fit. My first sorrels came up over my calves. I had to give them to my daughter. These are much easier to get on, but I can't tie them. It would be nice if someone made boots for people like me. I even bought them one size bigger but that didn't help. You can't find a better boot than Sorel. Just wish they fit bigger people. January 12, 2012
size 12 I am just glad to get a size 12 womans shoe and I am sure once we get snow in VT they will work great. Just wish more shoe manufacturers would make shoes in size 12 as the mens equal is too wide and they are not in styles a woman would want. I would love a pretty pair of ladies boots but limited because of size. January 10, 2012
This product is extremely warm and comfortable I ordered these for hunting to keep my feet warm and that they do. There is plenty of room to wear big socks and they are comfortable to walk in yet durable. Love them!!! January 5, 2012
greatest boot for cold weather bought these because I had a pair as a kid in the northen woods of Wis. growing up comfortable and very warm January 1, 2012
This is a great boot. My primary use for this boot is outside work and activities. These fit perfectly, relatively no break-in period. (Just a little stiff.) I keep them loosely laced for slipping on and off with no retying. The Caribou is exactly what I was looking for and given the quality will most likely last many years of tough winter work-outs. December 30, 2011
This is great I love the color, they are not true to size so I'd wear thick socks since 1/2 sizes are not available. December 28, 2011
Warm Books are warm and durable, but a bit clunky. Wish they came in half sizes- 9 is a bit big, but I'm afraid an 8 would be too small. I'll keep the 9's for now. They are still comfortable, even if they are big. December 26, 2011
Good boots We bought these for our daughter. They said the run large and they fit our daughter so we were satisfied... December 25, 2011
love them absolutely love my new boots December 25, 2011
Long-term satisfaction I bought Sorel boots 25 years ago and still have them - no leaks, but the top of the liner is ripped. So I decided to get another pair, and the choice is clear. Why buy cheap footwear and have to replace it every year or two, when you can buy good quality boots that will last decades? December 25, 2011
Classic Throughout my childhood in upstate NY my parents each had a pair of these sitting next to the door all winter. Theirs lasted over 25 years. My new pair arrived right before a snowstorm here in Boulder CO, and they are great! Super-warm, durable, and still have that classic look. Thanks! December 24, 2011
Women's Caribou I recently ordered these boots, and I love everything about them. My feet have never been so warm! I am currently still breaking the boot in, but I could wear them all day. I ordered a half size larger than my normal shoe size, and the fit is perfect. I can run through the snow and walk on icy parking lots with no problem! I highly recommend these boots to anyone living in a cold weather climate. December 18, 2011
TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE So, the last time I had a pair of Sorel's was in High School...36 years ago..don't know what ever became of them. Anyway, i live in Colorado - sunny, but can get COLD!!!! I also have a puppy who needs to go to the off leash parks and get walked every night, we just had a really cold spell...my Ugg's have bit the dust - they did 13 years ago actually when I had a previous puppy..they never quite cut it for cold/snow/freezing walks/hikes, etc. I decided to treat myself and also avoid frost bite, which almost happened a few weeks ago. These are TRUE TO SIZE! I usually wear a 9. Tried the 9 on in a store of the Tivoli, wanted the Caribou, ordered them in a 9. I was wearing thick socks when I tried the Tivoli on, and was wearing the same socks when my Caribou arrived, and they are perfect. An 8 was snug, and when hiking, etc, you need your toe room, and nice socks. I was concerned after reading all reviews about some people who said they were glad they went a size DOWN!! No need. If you are an 8-1/2, you should order a 9, don't go smaller. Seems like there are lots of women who have size issues - these are true to size. They are also the BEST QUALITY out there. I am ready for some long puppy playing / walking / hiking and now will not have to get frost bite! I also have foot issues - feet hurt - have to wear Dansko - these are the MOST comfortable boots I have ever tried on!! In the store, I tried a pair of Columbia on - they don't even come close to Sorel! I am now going to have to look at ALL styles, shapes, shoes, etc of Sorel...they are the one and only, original pro! Please don't ever change a thing!!! December 14, 2011
Never cold feet. I have had a pair of these boots for almost 20 years. I got my first pair of Sorel boots when I started running sled dogs in upper Michigan about 20 years ago. They were the "must have" piece of equipment. I have worn them daily in the winter in Chicago, and upper and lower Michigan. My feet are never cold in them. Never. Really. I am out for hours and hours in temps hovering around zero, and often in areas where my shoes are wet, but with these well made boots, my feet are not wet, and they are not cold. Good boots can be a matter of life and death in temps below zero and wet conditions. Except for the tongues that my dogs have chewed off over the years, they are in perfect shape with zero care, and daily work in snow and ice. The only drawback is that they are a little short if the snow is over a foot deep or drifts. I wear insulated overalls zipped over them, but when out in very deep snow, the snow comes in over the top of the boot, so I am getting a pair of similar boots that come up to the knees. These come up about 1/2 way. They are sized a little large. I wear an 8.5 to even a 9 in some athletic shoes. These boots are size 8. I leave them tied loosely and slip in and out of them when I have to go out to take care of animals. If they had elastic laces they would be perfect. Without these boots, winter in the frozen north would be miserable. With them, twice daily chores with animals are no big deal, no matter how cold the weather. Well, at least having cold feet is not an issue. The rest of me might be freezing, but my feet are never cold. There is nothing more miserable than cold feet when you HAVE to be outside. This is a great product. Well designed, well made, durable and warm. One of the best values for the money I have ever purchased. From the looks of them, they'll last another 20 years. December 13, 2011
Love them They are great. I thought too small for the first day that I wore them at home but now that the liner has molded to my foot they are perfect. Maybe a bit roomy even but in that comfy snow boot kind of way. The laces still get them snug enough. I haven't had Sorels in years but am so happy to have these and can't to get up in the mountains with them too. December 11, 2011
LOVE my Sorel Caribou Boots! I absoultely love my Sorel Caribou Boots!!!! The first time I put them on they fit perfectly and were super comfortable! I wear them when I'm out hunting and they are light-weight enough that they work perfect for that! As well as keep my feet from getting cold in below freezing temps. I ordered my boots online on a Friday and on Monday morning I had an email saying my boots had been mailed and recieved them on Wednesday! AMAZING! These are GREAT boot and Sorel is a GREAT company!! December 11, 2011
Awesome boot I have been wearing a pair of Caribou boots for over 20 years....I still have a pair that I purchased 15+ years ago. Every 2-3 years I buy new liners and I hope they never wear out. I bought a second pair last year to have in my truck. Unless it is below zero I don't even wear socks with them and my feet are toasty warm. I hope that you never discontinue the product. I did find that the pair I bought last year seemed snugger so I went up a size. December 8, 2011
Too large and bad liners I was disapointed with my purchase. I wear a size 9 or 9.5 so I purchased the size 9 boot. This is WAY too big! Also, when I first received my new boots the liner in the right boot was already coming apart where the elastic meets the fabric part of the liner. A couple of days after wearing the boots the left liner started to come apart as well. December 1, 2011
last forever I bought these in 1980, and they are still in perfect shape. I wore them for many years during Montana winters and now they are seeing New England. Frankly I'm sick of them and want a new style but after 31 years, there is not a thing wrong with them and they are warm even without socks! November 26, 2011
Caribou Sorels I am pleased that these boots are not as heavy as I expected. My foot slips in nice and easy. I will be testing out this boot as soon as the snow and ice arrive. I will not be falling this year with these boots. November 22, 2011
Perfection I read reviews saying these ran big and to go a size smaller. I wear an 8.5/9, so I ordered the 8....it was too small. I exchanged for the 9 and it fits great...FYI. The Caribou is an amazing boot and there is really nothing more to say other than what everyone already knows about it: it's an outstanding boot with incredible comfort and functionality. I've been craving these boots for many years and I finally got them. I live full-time in Orange County, so the last thing I really NEED are these boots, but I am thrilled to finally have them, as I grew up in a snowy region and vacation there often. There is just something about owning a great and tough pair of snow boots. If you are trying to decide between which boots to get..go with these, they're such a classic. November 8, 2011
Sorel Caribou gray/black Perfect fit, warm, definitely need to fit your boot a 1/2-1 size up for perfect comfort especially with thicker socks during the colder months. Can't wait to wear them this winter as snow is already falling in the Eastern Sierra's. October 26, 2011
Love them! Just recieved them and love them! I ordered a half size bigger than I usually wear and they fit perfectly. I ordered them in the Shale stone, the picture made it look like the bottom stripes were more grey than white, but they are in fact white. I am still very satisfied with my purchase. October 18, 2011
Ideal for inclement weather This is my second pair of these - I'm so glad they come in different colors! I'm an 8.5, ordered a 9. Perfect with thick socks. Definitely big clunky boots - great for trudging through snow, rain, or in the mud with the horses. My first choice to keep my feet warm and dry. October 15, 2011
Boots.. Just tryed my Boots on this Morning, They are snug( but after a few wears, I am sure they will loosen up a little bit).. I think they will be fine...It is 90 degrees here, so I will not be wearing them any time soon...(only to break them in) This is my first pair of Sorel Boots ,After the winter we hate last year, I am really hoping they stand up to their claims..I hate having cold wet feet!!! Check back with me this winter..and I will give you my full claims to how I like them, and how they stand up .. July 14, 2011
Great Product I love my new Sorel boots! April 15, 2011
wery good product excellent5 March 21, 2011
Womens Caribou These are great boots....very roomy...which for me is great as I have a wide foot. I didn't order down in size. My toes are cozy warm. They are on the bulky, heavy side...but the fit and warmth far out weigh this (no pun intended) I can walk across the fields with the dogs and never worry about cold feet...I look at the extra weight as adding to the benefit of the exercise I am getting, maybe it will build up my legs a bit more:) Look forward to getting lots of wear from these and I love the pull out liners! February 24, 2011
Boot is big, but liner is tight I got these boots in black. The wool liners are VERY tight and tough to get on. I have to put them on first (lots of pulling February 17, 2011
20 Years and Counting I have had my Caribou boots for over 20 years now. I got them while I was living in Seattle, because back in the day snowboard binding took these types of boots. I have kept them over the years and after living in Chicago for over 15 years now they are still my go to boots for heavy snow over my North Face ones. These boots last FOREVER and I have noticed a HUGE comeback in the brand. It seems like I have been ahead of the trend for a very long time. February 1, 2011
Love this boot! My best boot ever! Two weeks ago, I wanted the buff color (above), but there was a huge storm over a lot of the northern part of the country and the colors and sizes were low. I ordered a 7 in slate, but it was too small and I just returned it a few days ago. I generally take a 7 or a 7 and 1/2 shoe. Meanwhile, the sizes and colors were restocked, and I ordered a size 8 Caribou in the buff (above) and it arrived today, in time for more shoveling. I took a walk to the store 1/2 mile each way and wore it the rest of the day, driving and shoveling. Very comfortable. The 8 fits very well and I will get a lot of use out of these. Whenever I mention the Sorel Caribou to someone, they know of it and said it is their all-time favorite boot, too. January 27, 2011
Fits true-to-size! The Caribou boots are warm and wonderful, as we might expect from Sorel--Sorels are awseome. Be sure to order your regular size! I ordered a size smaller after reading numerous reviews. I sometimes take a 5 1/2 in a shoe so ordered a 5 instead of a 6. Big mistake. I take a six in these as I always do in a boot (and in some shoes). True-to-size!!! January 21, 2011
cracking/leaking after 1.5 months At first I loved these boots. Bought a pair on Nov 24, now, a little over a month later i'm returning them because they have cracked real bad around the toe area, letting the water in. Bummer, I thought because I spent so much, they would last longer than two months. January 19, 2011
The "Must Have" winter boot Great winter/snow boot!! They do run big, I'm normally an 8, purchased a 7, fit is perfect. They are incredibly warm, perfect for playing in the snow with toddlers. They do feel a bit "klunky" at first, but you adjust to them quick!!! I purchsed the boot in black - love 'em. Great boot, can't say enough really... Thanks, Sorel!!! January 18, 2011
Best Boots Ever!!! I ordered these boots in the tan color and was so excited when I finally got them (I live on the East Coast and we have been having some heavy snow this winter). I wear a size 10 and I thought that they fit perfectly. I tried them on with my heavy ski socks as well as barefoot and they fit well either way. When I say that the lining is warm, I mean WARM and the lining is super soft and well cushioned. I didn't slip on the ice when I went to shovel my driveway thanks to the soccer-cleat like sole. I also like the fact that the boots are designed to easily tuck your pants into the boots--I didn't have to struggle with my jeans to get them into the boot. I would say that the only downside is that these boots are so heavy-duty is that it is somewhat awkward driving with them, but it is a minor issue (I think that it is harder to drive in high-heels). Buy these! January 12, 2011
