Have loved them for over 25 years
I have had to replace the liners of my boots twice, but have loved them for over 25 years.

I like the quality SOREL has.
My grandfather always bragged about his SOREL hunting boots.
I've always had SOREL boots, they last forever.

Great liners, but hold the neoprene!
just bought new liners for my 20 yr old sorel boots. Liners are warm and comfortable. Only complaint is the neoprene seam that closes the liner from ankle to mid calf...keeps the liners so tight that they come out of the boot along with my foot! Sorel: please go back to the old tab version. Other than that, great product!

This liner will keep your feet warm
I purchased this line to replace the liners in my old boots. I have not had much chance to use my boots with new liners, because of the our mild winter, but one day it was -20 below, put my boots on to shovel snow. My feet stayed toasty warm while I was outside.
One thing I noticed was that with the front being completely closed they are a little harder to get on but helps to keep feet warm.

well-made, but too cumbersome
We have to return these liners because they are not flexible enough. The original liners (30+ years old) have a split in the middle front and one band (the size of a bandaid) across the front to keep it together. MUCH easier to put on and take off. They are very well made, but too difficult to get on and off.

Needed a second pair after 20 years.............
Just bought my second pair today at REI - Kennewick, Washington. The first pair - also purchased at REI in Spokane, Washington - lasted 20 years. Wore them in work and play.
Used to walk to work in them every day; snow was literally knee deep and we usually had at least a week or so of -30 to -36 degrees - Republic, Washington. Winters were long and harsh. The old ones never failed me - hope these new ones are as good.

Not what they used to be...
I bought these to replace 15 year old liners. They are much thinner, not as well constructed and fairly expensive. The sales rep told me they are *better technology* and would therefore be warmer than my 15 year old, worn out pair. So I wore one of each liner to the Broncos/Steelers playoff game and by halftime had to go inside because the foot with the new liner was freezing. Size is fine, but the experience with Sorel was not. Probably moving to another boot.

Great to be warm again
My boots are going on 12 years old and love the style. The liners have worn thin the last few years. I stand on the frozen lakes in our Minnesota winters for hours on end and need full liners. The replacement liners bring the boots back to new quality in terms of warmth. The new liners do have a neoprene material connecting the front sides of the liner. Great for keeping snow out and snugging the liner around your foot but I have slit it half way down with a hot knife, so that I can more easily slip the boots on and off without pulling the liners out.

Caribou replacement liners

Consider Ordering a bigger size
My old Sorels had 100% virgin wool linings. The new ones are not 100% wool. Perhaps, that is the reason they are smaller than the old linings. Consider ordering a larger size if your old lining was 100% wool.

Restored my 30 year old boots
these liners are warm, dry and comfortable. my old ones had completely worn out and were falling apart but the outer boots were still in great shape. these new liners are much more comfortable than the old one ever were.

liner
the liner fits a little snug, because of the elastic which runs the whole length of the liner. A thin pair socks and they work just fine. warm and toasty. I am now good for 20 more years . thank you.

Better than Original
My new inserts are even better than the originals!!

Center Support BAD
Previously, Sorel use a single elastic strip about 1inch wide to hold liner insert together, This allowed your foot to splip into the boot easily. Now the felt insert liner is secrured the entire length with a non elastic material (neoprene) that prevent your foot from easily sliping into the boot and liner. I had to remove the liner from the boot shell, until that is, I cut the neoprene center strip about 2/3 of the way down. Not my foot slides in and come out without removing the liner and having to re-insert it

Sorel liners
The original liners that came with the Sorel boots I bought in early 1988 were wearing out and I figured if they have lasted 23 years, why not go with the same as replacements. And they're good too.

Caribou liner
I have owned a pair of Caribou boots for at least 20 years, probably closer to 30 but who's counting. I thought it was time to change the inserts so ordered a new pair. They fit the boot very well and are very comfortable. The only issue is that the boot is a little harder to get on and off than the previous inserts. The old inserts "tongue" area was held together with a single band of elastic whereas the new insert has a completely sewn "tongue".
While I'm sure this is beneficial if snow were to get down the boot, which never seems to happen, it still is more difficult to put on and take off. Suppose these will last another 20 to 30 years so I will just have to get used to it.

New Liners for my Ol'Sorels
I have had the same pair of Sorels for about 10 years. YUP.. and i'm an advid outdoors women.. Icefishing every season, 4 kids and 2 dogs. These boots are still in great shape. I had to buy new liners this year. Finally the 10 year old liners wore out in the heel area and was getting thin all around. The new liners I bought are awesome, fit right in boots and i'll get another 10years out of my boots.. With todays prices on GOOD Boots, I'm still ahead of the game I paid less than $65 for my Sorels 10 yrs ago and now just put in another $35.. Thanks Sorel, for making such an awesome product..

So far so good
I have an very old (20+ years) of caribou boots. These fit perfectly.
As one reviewer noted, they are thinner than the original wool flannel liners that finally gave out BUT I noticed that they have aluminum foil in the materials Liston the tag. This might also be the reason for the thermo in the name. So.... if there is a layer of aluminum Mylar or composite they may not need to be as thick.
It hasn't been cold enough or snowy enough here yet this year so I will reserve judgment on warmth until I can get out in one of our -15 blizzards.
But so far so good...

Bought for older pair of Caribou's
Thought I was going to revive my older pair of Caribou's. But these liners are much more form fitting even tight. I bought my boots a size bigger to begin with and was able to fit a couple of pairs of socks in those. With these liners I struggled to get them on with a single pair of socks. I wish they would remake the replacements for the older boots, they had slit open front with an elastic band. I guess I'll be off to the fabric store for some heavy felt for reinforcements or cut up an old favorite wool blanket and piece together.

Mens Caribou thermoplus liner
Had A chance to wear last week. The elastic is too tight to get a wool sock in the liner. The old ones didn't have the large strip of elastic that these have. It took a long time to ever get my foot in them. Once I did they were warm and comfortable. I'll try somehow to stretch them, if that doesn't work I'll have to cut the elastic. Hate to do that. Do you have any ideas? Thanks

Sorel Cariou replacement liners!
Bought new liners for my wife's boots. They were a little difficult to fit. I utilized one of my kitchen spatulas to fit toes properly as they were bunched up and wrinkled. Instructions or suggestions for placing would be nice! Exceptional quality! Love Sorel products!!

This product has poor features
Liner material is to thin.Original was much thicker warmer on the sole

Perfect replacement liner the older Manitou model
These are a perfect replacement liner for the "Old School" Manitou K (Kaufman) Sorel boots. I have a pair of the Manitou boots and the liners were trashed. Sorel's site says that they do not have liners for these older models, so I thought I was going to have to throw the boots out and buy a newer model. I really wanted to keep these boots for sentimental reasons so I decided to call Sorel. I talked to Dan, one of the customer service reps at Sorel and we decided to give it a try. I was totally stoked when they fit exactly as the other liners, plus they are better quality and of course brand new! If you have a pair of the Manitou style boots you can get these liners and stretch the life span of your favorite boots!

not as warm as original liners
These liners are only about half the thickness of the original liners for my boats.
