Customer Reviews SOREL Kinetic™ Caribou

Very cute but very small and narrow! I have wide feet and bunions. I typically wear an 7.5 wide or 8 regular (depending on the fit and style of the shoe). These shoes in particular are so small and narrow, I ended up getting a size 9. They are still a bit narrow but much roomier than the 8 and 8.5 and I expect they will stretch with wear. I should also note that I can only wear these with thin socks. This is par for the course with Sorels (my last Sorels were an 8.5) but I wish they would start making their boots wider, especially when they are meant to be worn in the winter with thick socks.

Great support and warm! Even cuter in person! Definitely narrow. I ended up ordering 1 full size up to make up for narrowness. Fit is great!

I am very happy I purchased these shoes...this is my 4th pair of Sorel’s. I have narrow feet and wear a size 8, my other 3 Sorel shoes are an 8 and fit great. I bought these in an 8 1/2 after reading the reviews...I think an 8 would have worked, but the 8 1/2’s are comfortable. They also do not make my feet look big, which is what I was afraid of. I personally think Sorel’s are great for people w/ narrow feet.

The Sorel boots I own are all semi snug, but boy are these narrow! Not only that, one of the toe areas are completely off center. That particular boot is also much more narrow than the other boot. What a shame that there is no quality control with such an expensive boot & company. I’m so disappointed about the off centering that I won’t even order another pair in hope of a better boot.

These are super cute and comfy! I would say these run 1/2 a size small so order up. They are narrow but that’s great for me. Get them!

Definitely size up a half size. Thanks to those who commented on the sizing, I took your advice and I did not have to return these adorable shoes. I'm a true size 9 and the 9.5 was perfect. I also walked three miles in them on my first wear and they were super comfy—no blisters or pain.

Definitely order full size up. I wanted these to work, but after ordering three sizes, I'm kind of done. I wear a 6.5-7 usually. The last pair I had was an 8, perhaps an 8.5 would work. But these are very narrow. Which for me can be good because I have a high arch and a lace up with side support usually works well for me. For some reason, though, they just weren't comfortable. And the style is great. Would have been perfect for Midwest winter days where there isn't a foot a snow. A great run around shoe if you can fit into it.

These were instantly comfortable out of the box, and are a perfect winter/cold weather sneaker! I plan on using them for walking the dog, and also for taking a cold weather vacation this winter, they are equally chic and appropriate for both! Do note they run a half size small, and I do have narrow feet, and still sized up from my normal 7.5 to 8!

I LooooOOOoooVE these shoes! I was convinced I wanted these in the boot, and when they sold out I was SO bummed out! BUT these are WAY better!! Comfy & super stylish!! I love them ;)

I am usually a 9.5 in Sorel and I needed a 10 in these because they are narrow. Sizing up made all the difference, they are very comfortable.

I got the tan color, and which is more tan than camel as in the pics. But I got over it and I love them! Super comfy and warm. I went up half a size and they fit well. They've gotten several compliments. I’m thinking about getting them in black too! Definitely recommend.

I am a size 8. I always get 8.5 in Sorels, so that part felt "true to Sorel size". I have average feet. I do see how some might feel they are narrow, despite them looking like a wide shoe. That said, it is not bothersome to me. I actually think they are stretching out a bit. I Love these sneakers. I needed a warmer sneaker to go with tights in the winter. These look awesome, stylish & seriously cozy!! They are also SUPER light which is welcome compared to most winter shoe wear. I worry they won't hold up, but so far, so good. I even wore them walking the dog through the woods, and they still look very nice. I want one of every style Sorel shoe :)

Love these boots, can’t wait to try them in the snow. Seem a little narrow but hoping they’ll stretch out.

I’m glad I read the reviews and ordered a half size larger than normal. I usually wear a 9 but the 9.5 are the right length. The shoes are narrow at the widest part of foot but they are replacing some each time I wear them. I am walking in the snow and using them to snowshoe and they are awesome for that and cute too. Just make sure to order up.

I can’t say how much I love these shoes enough. I live in Chicago and wanted something that had the cushion and spring of a sneaker to walk long distances, but also the warmth of a boot, and these have both.

These are great winter hiking boots. I feel like I am wearing tennis shoes. Very comfortable and warm in the Minnesota cold. Great boot, would purchase again.

I’ve found that all Sorel shoes are narrow but I find that with other brands as well, so I size up an entire size from 10 to 11. These are the cutest shoes and I’ve gotten so many complements on them. And they are WARM! I’m always cold so they are perfect. I originally purchased the Quarry color but now I want the black, unfortunately they are sold out. Hoping they bring them back!

I love these boots. After reading the reviews I did size up half a size and probably could have gone a full size. I have a narrow foot and I wold say these do run narrow. Super warm and cute.

I went up one full size due to other reviews and to give appropriate room for winter socks, they fit perfectly. They are warm, look really cute and are very comfortable. I ordered a second pair in a different color because I know they will be out soon!

I'm a consistent size 9 but I had to order these half size up as the 9 was too short. They didn't feel too narrow but definitely too short. They are super cute and so soft inside. Comfy right out of the box! And as always, Zappos customer service exceeded all expectations: very quick exchange process!! Thank you Zappos!

For someone who has never had to purchase a wide shoe, these felt much too narrow for me. Just a smidge shirt size. I’m a solid 6.5. Otherwise, I love them. I wish they fit!
