The shoelaces come undone every 10 steps, the shoes definitely run a size too small, the arch in the shoe makes for very uncomfortable walks (i walk my dog ~1 hour a day) and after 1 week of wear, they are the worst shoes for walking. please save yourself money, and do not get these shoes.

I've only worn them once to walk dogs about 2 miles and they feel like they ran small. I ordered half size larger so I could fit thick socks for winter and I'm not going to be able to do that. I'm normally a 9 and bought 9.5 but wish I got a 10 for thick socks.
They are really comfortable though so I'm keeping them.. just no thick socks.
They are like walking on a cloud. I walk my dogs every day..year round in Michigan and wanted something warmer that is really comfortable. I have boots but they are too warm and clunky. They are for a month or so of the really cold stuff. These are fairly warm.
The red is more of a rust color but I like it.

I received a pair of Sorel - Women's Kinetic Breakthru Caribou Sneaker Boot in exchange for my honest review. I really love the design of theirs pair of shoes. They look good quality and sturdy and they're very warm in cold weathers. They look bigger than I expected and they are quite heavy. It has a decent amount of arch support. The heel is thick. I would suggest to get a half number or a whole number larger than what you normally wear because the front part can be a little bit narrow. And the top may rub your feet a little bit.

I had actually ordered a size 8 and I received a size 7 1/2. The good news is they fit perfectly! Super comfortable, I did decide to switch the color to the grey. But other than that I love them! I have a high arch, and these are perfect fit for that! Highly recommend these !

These are fantastic! Waterproof, warm, and LIGHT. I can't explain how unexpectedly light these are. These are my favorite current shoe and I'm wearing them everywhere.

I love the aesthetic of these sneaker boots, they are very much in-style. I can't wait to wear these sneaker boots this winter, they are so comfortable. I like that they are water-proof and don't have to worry about water staining forming on these boots. It feels like I'm walking on clouds when I wear these boots.

this is my second pair of the kinetic caribou. i purchased them for walking the dog in sub zero temperatures and they are the only boot that has kept my feet warm and dry during MN winters. I love that they function like a boot but are as comfortable as my favorite sneakers. I normally wear a 6.5 in a shoe but per reviews sized up to a 7 and they fit great even with thick socks.

These sneaker boots are awesome! They have lots of support and the cushion is great. They keep my feet so warm even with thin cotton socks and freezing temps outside. The waterproofing is an extra bonus and keeps my feet completely dry. I consistently wear an 8-8.5 and have always needed an 8.5 in Sorel boots and these were no different. 10/10 recommend. Will probably buy another color.

So cute and beyond comfortable. I got this style a couple years ago with the wavy looking sole. I liked them, so when I saw the updated version I wanted to give them a try. Zappos makes it so easy to order shoes and make exchanges for the perfect size. These are excellent look and cloud like comfort. I ordered them in 2 colors !! Perfect unless you have a super wide foot. I would suggest going up a size. I normally wear an 8 and I have a narrow to normal wide foot and I wear these in an 8.5. They fit perfectly. You will not be disappointed.

These are so comfortable and fit so well for my feet! They are great for any occasion and have a stylish look. I would recommend it 100%. Sizing is pretty on point and correct when it comes to my size. I would like to see if there are any other colors in this shoe as well!

I usually ordered half a size larger but it was bigger. For reference I am US size 8 and ordered 9 and it was too big. I felt like 8.5 would have been perfect even with thicker socks. Kept my feet warm and dry in the winter. It has great arch support and soft enough for long walks. I highly recommend!

Got these pair in burnt orange for my birthday 2024 and I wouldn't have asked for a better pair of boots. I wore them 2 days in a row, hiking a total of 18miles of trails and they held up very well. They super supportive on the ankle, comfortable, alot of friction, and got plenty of compliments. They even withheld in muddy puddles. Highly recommend !

I absolutely LOVE these shoes. Some of the reviews worried me because people were saying they were very narrow. I don't have super wide feet but wider than average and they fit perfectly! I do recommend sizing up a half size to accommodate thicker socks.

Amazing lightweight boots that feel like sneakers. I love that it's waterproof a well. I took the advice of others and went with a size 7 when I'm normally a 6.5. This was perfect for me but YMMV.

They are nice sport shoes/booties. I ordered size 7 as I have a very high arch and also like wear two pairs of socks in my boots & sport shoes (normally wear size 6-6.5). They fit just as expected and are very comfortable yet supportive. They are now my go to booties for all outdoor activities. I am very happy with this purchase.

I haven't had much occasion to wear them lately because it's been so hot, but they seem very comfortable. I have arthritis in my hips, knees and back so I need shoes or boots that give support. I was a little worried when ordering because some people were saying they ran small. And they were a clearance item with NO return. Lucky they are fine! I just won't be able to wear heavier socks under them. All in all I'm very happy with my purchase.

I mostly bought these because they were on sale and fit the functionality of what I needed. They were better looking on than I expected based on how they looked when I opened the box. Overall I like them.

These were very comfortable. However, I know sorely run small but rather than go g up 1/2 size I should have gone up a whole size. These are very tight at the toe.

AMAZING, these are fantastic!!!! I previously ordered a different style boot but unfortunately it was too small and tight, I made the exchange smoothly, customer service is excellent! These gems just arrived and are so awesome, like wearing clouds! For me, I always have to size up with Sorel , I went up a whole size with these and they are perfect! Just can’t go wrong with these!
