Customer Reviews SOREL Caribou™

These boots are phenomenal and work well for both walking short distances and standing outside on cold MN winter days. If you want more support than the boot alone offers, it is easy enough to insert a pair of Superfeet insoles and you will be good for an extended walk/hike time. The boots are lighter weight than some heavier, more extreme versions, so they are ideally suited for a short drive in cold and snowy weather, too, without feeling like you have to change in and out of your boots for driving, or change when you get to your destination for fear your feet will overheat. Coupled with a pair of wool socks -- or on those really cold sub-zero days, there is enough room to tuck in a pair of Hotties -- these boots are ideal. I love these boots!

I had been searching for a really good pair of warm snow boots for the past month. I hate having cold feet!. It came down to the sorel caribou and the LL Bean Womens lace up. After trying on both and wearing both in the house, the Sorels have won hands down! Size, weight, shape.... they are very comfortable, and have slight arch support. Snowboots need to be big to do their job, but these also have a nice shape in keeping your feet from looking like huge moon boots! Reviews said they size slightly larger than actual, I wear a size 8, and ordered a size 7 1/2. They fit perfectly with slight looseness to keep the warm air pocket around my feet and toes especially! First wearing outside in ice & snow, they kept my feet very comfy. I dont think these are necessarily for walking long distances, but stay tuned as I continue to use them. I am looking forward to years of great use!!

I wear a size 8.5 wide in women's shoes. I ordered a 9 in the Sorel Caribou, and the fit was good for a winter boot, albeit slightly long. I have ample room to move my toes around, which you really need if you want to stay warm. Going a half a size up worked for me, as my feet are very wide. Someone with narrow feet might find themselves swimming in these boots if you go up a size. I wore them outside today with sub zero windchill and my feet stayed very toasty.

Bought these for my girlfriend as she saw someone wearing them and admired them. They fit her perfectly for what her boot size is and she said they're really comfortable and warm.

I am an adventure photographer based out of the Pacific Northwest but travel all over the globe. I bought these boots specifically so I could cover snowboard races without having to wear snowboarding boots, which aren't exactly the most practical to hike in when not riding. Yes, they are big and clunky but if they weren't I would question whether they could hold up to serious use (I am a 5'5" female, 115 pounds, with VERY narrow feet - bought the 7.5). I personally like the look of chunky boots, so these fit the bill. They also have an old school coolness about them - like an "I'm not mess'n around" kind of look and feel. I have a tendency to be cold all the time, but I'm pretty confident these boots, with a thick pair of socks, will keep me as warm as possible. They are very comfortable and I love the giant D rings and easy to tie laces. The leather upper is very nice, and being from the PNW there is no doubt they will get WET, so I am slightly concerned about how the leather will hold up and wear over time, but the Sorel brand is well known for it's longevity, so I will just have to wait and see. I did notice in the picture the Sorel logo is in white, while on mine (I got the Slate color) the logo is simply embossed on the side making it more subtle, which I actually like better. I see myself using these not only for snow photography, but everything from winter beach hiking to apres ski. Can't wait to dirty them up!

Best winter now boot. Warm and weather resistance.
