Great boots
I was excited when I received the boots, but when I tried them on they were too big. This isn't that big of a problem as the added room makes them easier to get on and off. The boots are the nicest I have ever owned, and I will be buying more sorels in the near future. The bottom line is that you need to buy these boots.

These boot are sick
I love these boot they are so sick. I got them for Christmas and couldn't be more happier. They are really warm and comfortable. People always ask what size they should get? I got a size smaller than my normal shoe size and they fit great. I can't wait to get another snow storm soon so I can rock my Sorel's.

So far so good
I've only had these a few days now but they seem great.
Warm and comfortable. Plenty wide, almost think I could have gone with a half size less but I couldn't tell unless I had tried one on.
All in all they seem like a very well constructed and comfortable boot.
Only gave it a good rating because I haven't had them long enough to make a more informed decision.

harold in denver
i bought these boots on christmas and had a chance to start to break them in this last week.They seemed too do the job but the fit on the left boot is quite tight and hard to get into.I hope that with continued use it will loosen up.

Happy Camper
I purchase a pair of Joan of Arctic boots for my wife for Christmas, and she is a very picky shopper. She loves the boots and could not stop going on and on about how warm and comfortable they are. So I got a bit jealous and purchase a pair of Caribou for myself. She is definitely right, these boots are the warmest and most comfortable pair of boots I have ever purchased by far. Not to mention they are very stylish and the craftmenship is top notch.
After my mother saw my wife's new boots she also wanted a pair.
My only complaint, is that the boots are a little tight when trying to take them off. So my socks pull out everytime I take them off. But thats just a minor set back, considering they surpass all other boots I have purchased in the past.
These boots are definitely worth every penny.

Thank You Santa!!
I've been asking for these boots for 3 years now and finally unwrapped them this Christmas! I absolutely love these boots although, it seems like it may be a bit hard to drive in these boots, not a big deal though. I live 30 minutes outside of NYC and we ski alot in Vermont and Upstate NY and these will be perfect for those trips. I'm looking forward to a big snowstorm so I can step outisde in my new Sorel's!! Bring on the Snow!!

Super Customer Service
these boots were to replace a pair of Sorel Badger boots bought in the 70's. I ordered the other Caribou(shipped to Arkansas) for my daughter but when she got them she changed her mind and wanted the wool liner and full grain leather instead. I called explained what I wanted. Customer Service was terrific no hassles, return was no problem and the reorder was sent immediately. could not be more satisfied..Six Stars to the Customer Service Dept

I love them
I purchased these for use on the North Slope of Alaska. It has been hovering around 0F with plenty of snow, and they have kept my feet pretty warm. Just the tips of my big toes get a little cold, but it's really nothing to write home about. I haven't been wearing thermal socks with them and haven't felt the need to.

Another great pair of boots from Sorel
These are my third pair of Sorels and they are as good as my first two. I bought these boots to wear around town when my wife and I travel North to visit family and friends. They fit great, look good and are comfortable. Did I say they also keep me warm? The new "wool" innerboot is a great addition. Overall a good purchase.

Sorel in the snow
Kept my feet warm and cozy throughout a day of sledding near Mt. Bachelor. Love that I can remove the lining to dry it out separate from the shell. Would not have it any other way.

Warm, but leaky
I got these boots for my birthday July before last and have used them throughout this winter daily. I use them for work, as I am a plow driver and am in the snow constantly. They are an awesome boot warmth wise, but my feet started getting wet earlier this winter. Recently I inspected them closer since the snow is thawing this week and its been wet, and my feet got wet, i realized the sole starting to separate from the boot. Honestly I planned on keeping these boots for years.. looks like the only way Im going to keep them is to fork out more money for a repair or a different pair. I had a pair before and this didnt happen. Disappointed because I actually liked these better. Be prepared for leaks with these boots over time!!!!

Cariboooouu!!
Just got back from a trip to upper Michigan, where I was introduced to Sorel by a friend of mine who had a pair of Caribou's. I happend to slip them on one day and found myself wearing them every chance I got! If he was sleeping in, his boots were on my feet! The pack boots I brought I had to constantly swap with my work boots because they hardly stayed on my feet when active. Caribou's on the other hand stayed on my feet like a glove and they were 3 sizes to big and the laces were never tied (could slip em right on and off)!!! Adding to that they were easily the most comfortable boots ever. As far as the cold goes, it didnt get that cold maybe 15 F but im sure they will keep my feet warm in most earthly environments!
Woulda expected a higher price tag.. now im getting a pair of Sorel's for every ocasion!
I beleive I've found the most immpresive boots in the world! thanks Sorel!

Thought I was the only one!
I bought my sorel caribou boots in Colorado in nov. 1981. I have been wearing them every winter since. Some of the places have been Austria, Swiss., (east) Germany (before the wall came down). I was doing my master's thesis research that year 300 miles inside east Germany(DDR) then. These boots have traveled with me all these years. Today it snowed in Texas. I went to the attic to get mt Sorel's down and found all these reviews on the computer. I thought I was the only guy that could keep a pair of boots that long....(I have them on now!) I was given 6 months to live almost 12 months ago. I packed my Sorel's and put them up thinking I would never have a pair on again...well I think I am in the market for a new pair. What do the doctors know?

Longevity
My boots are circa 1983, Commanders, and they are just about like these, without the wool collar. They have simulated ruff at top of liner, which I finally replaced back in 2004. I bought these boots to go snowmobiling in northern Maine, where temps were minus 20 to 30 F. I have worn these boots elsewhere since in temps to minus 45 F and my feet have never been cold. The only reason I need to replace them now is the fact that I never kept leather conditioned, so they have become very stiff, especially where the leather has formed creases, and that will actually cut the liner eventually. I remedied first liner with duct tape, may have to do again. But if you want warm, dry boots that will last and last, look no further. Santa , I need a new pair of Sorels........

Snowmaking, all night long..
I have a pair of these that I used for snow making at a resort in the Colorado Rockies last year on the midnight to noon shift, where warm and comfortable boots are a big deal. I wear Men's 10.5 shoe size so I got size 11. Even though I went big my feet do not slide around and I can wear thick socks. The big difference compared to other boots is how these fit. My foot is not being squeezed so my circulation is good and my feet stay warm. When skiing, I can't wait to get back in these.
Traction is good in snow, but I wear YakTraks for ice. Gators are a great idea if you are in deep snow.
For this season I am replacing my 4yr old liners and also adding the Sorel Intrepid Explorer -100 degree boots to my arsenal, mainly for the built-in gators.
If you want a great boot with classic looks that is comfortable from day one, not needing to be broken in, this is it.

The warmest boot on the planet
I have two pairs of Sorels, one for mild and one for severe conditions. I got this pair after photographing ski racers up at Jay Peak, near the Canadian border, on a day when there was ice on the inside of the windshield. These are the warmest boots on the planet, in my opinion. The only downside is that they are two wide and thick to safely drive a vehicle with. For that, I have my lighter duty pair. They also last forever, though you may need to replace the liner once every five years or so.

Just got my boots
I just got my boots and they fit great. Very confortable. I got them early this year because last winter I couldn't find the tabacco color in my size. But I'm glad I waited. I'm giving it 5 stars now on looks fit and confort. I have high hopes for this boot this winter and I will write back when I put them through some snow shoveling and out door work.
