Got as a Christmas gift for my grandson. He was thrilled with these boots to use in CNY winter with -40 degrees weather proof. Also said how soft and comfortable the boot fit.

This is my second pair of Sorel winter boots First I love that they fit my feet. I have had a bunion for years. It's a nightmare buying any type of footwear. I can wear your boots for hours without any pain and discomfort! Second - they keep my toes and entire foot warm and dry the entire time I am outside. We've had over 15 in of snow this year. My socks stay dry whether I'm out walking or using the snow blower. I do wish they had a pair of clasp at the top to help tighten like my last pair. It does take a little bit to get use to their weight. But I keep the weight of the boots for the excellent traction, warmth and dry socks.

I love these boots. They have a thick wool lining. They are stable on both ice and snow, good to 40 degrees below. Your feet will never be cold in these boots.

These are true to size and very warm. We just had a big snow storm in MI and I was happy to have these. I used them while shoveling almost a foot of snow and they kept my feet dry and warm.

I live in Russia ... and I can say with confidence - these boots are best for the Russian winter! We've got a national winter shoes made of felt wool, called "valienki", but they are somewhat outdated and banter look at the present, but Sorel Caribou is very appropriate for all their heat and is waterproof!

My Sorel's fit true to size, they were warm but a lil heavy(in which I already knew before purchasing them). We only got a few inches of snow here in NY today but I just had to put them on. I just love them.

I ordered these after reading other reviews. Normally wear size 7.5 but ordered 6.5 and they fit well with socks. I wore these on a frigid, wet day and my feet stayed dry and very warm. They seem bulky when you put them on but they are easy to walk in and easily adjust to. I love them think they are great value.

They were an early Christmas gift for my son. He said, "they are the best boots I've ever had", and he lives in the snowbelt!

These boots are amazing. I've lived in Chicago my whole life and so far these are the only ones that can handle our winters. They are super warm and the bottoms of the boots are like cleats. Today I had to walk over several blocks of thick ice to get to work and didn't slip once. They are a bit clunky and definitely do run big (I usually get an 8.5 for boots but got these in an 8 and they are still very roomy) so don't size up. I wish they had the alternate lining in stock that doesn't have the fur on it because I'm not a fan of the fur but they are otherwise amazing.

Great boots -- so warm and comfortable. Fit is true to size. Bought them for an upcoming hiking trip in Iceland. Can't wait to wear them!

I bought these to replace my 30 year old Sorels. I have used them for winter and snowmobiling for all these years. They keep my feet warm for hours in subzero temperatures. Finally the leather has become brittle and I lost the eyelet for my shoe lace. If these last for 30 years I will be very happy!

These boots have been great so far. They're waterproof and durable, yet not super difficult to walk in. They've done well in the first few snowfalls we've had that have turned to snow/slush/puddles/etc. And they're stylish as well. I am normally about a size 8 in most shoes, but I ordered an 8.5 initially based on other reviewers. I had to return the 8.5 and got a size 8. The 8 fits fine. I could probably have even gotten a size 7.5, but at least I'll be able to wear nice thick socks when it gets cold.

I live in Northern MN & these will be perfect for the winter! I wear an 8.5 & I bought an 8.5. I do have room to wigfle, but when I wear my thick wool socks....it'll be perfect! I'm excited to wear them in the 1.5ft of snow tomorrow.

Ordered 1/2 larger based on reviews and they were way too big. Normally wear 11 so ordered an 11.5 and probably need a 10.5

Had to return the first pair, because my husband wanted enough room for heavy socks. We didn't need the extra length,so I reordered a smaller size!! The construction and quality are Good!! The size 7 are very comfortable and perfect fit!!Bring on the cold!!

I got my first Sorel Caribous 25 years ago, and they have served me well through all those winters in Lake Tahoe. One of the leather D-ring flaps finally split this past winter, so I just ordered another pair to replace them. The only deep snow boots you'll ever need.

Bought the gray colored Caribou boot and wore it daily for a few years. It fells like a comfortable sneaker. No breaking in. Lived in the northeast U.S. and handled bitter cold and lots of snow. Never leaked. Kept feet dry and warm. (Sometimes I wore a foot warmer for the long days outside, so not sure if I really needed the warmer or not.) I sat in hockey rinks, participated in winter carnivals, walked dog several times a day. I lived outside in these for four months a year with snow and slush and mud. Whatever the winter throws, these boots can handle. These are not "ice-proof," however, the increased surface area, coupled with the tread, helped me stay cautiously steady on icy pavement and parking lots. If my boots were lost, I would replace them with the exact same Caribous.

So I started school where one of the items they kinda required is sub rated snow boots. A coworker recommended these and honestly I was really worried after reading some other reviews. I usually wear anything between a 9 and 10, and decided on the shale in 9.5. They are heavier than normal shoes, but I don't mind at all. It's not even winter yet and I can't wait to break these out. :D

I need boots for a typical Michigan rugged winter. Sorel boots provide nice and dry waterproofing. The bottom soles give excellent traction, even over ice. These boots keep my feet warm and snug.

I live in Vermont, and was in dire need of new winter boots this year. I needed something durable, waterproof, great in heavy snow, and that would keep my feet warm in weather -40F (which it drops to around here). The Caribou was the cutest boot that fit the requirements.. And I am super impressed with them! They have kept my feet dry and warm this entire winter season- even with all the outdoor hiking I do with my dog. The tread is great- grips well and is thick enough to keep a nice barrier between the frozen ground and my feet. But ladies, you have to realize- these are LARGE, CLUNKY, HEAVY boots! But that's what they are supposed to be! When you're in a blizzard with snow piling up and it's 10 degrees (or much colder!) out, you want boots like these, not slim stylish city boots. Nobody likes frostbite. I wear a 9 1/2 and that's what I ordered, but had to exchange for a 9. They run big. Only complaint is they are a little hard to get off- the lining always comes out when I pull my foot out. I have basically lived in these boots wearing them every day for 3 solid months now, and they have held up great. Plus, I think these look pretty cute with leggings or skinny jeans. Like a rugged snow bunny haha. Love the Buff color. A+.

Sorel boots are sturdy and comfortable. They ran big for me but that could be due to extra room for thick socks in cold weather. Didn't have time to exchange them before our Mammoth trip or I would have.
