Comfy and warm

I hesitated because this isnt the most stylish boot available, but when I saw them on sale I had to try them. The boot is incredibly, amazingly comfortable. I have narrow feet that are always cold. My feet stayed warm in 21F weather and I was amazed at how well the boot gently hugged my feet - no slippage and I disnt feel like I was wearing big boots - no pressure points or hotspots. The liner tends to come out when I pull my foot out but that's a minor issue. I love these boots and highly recommend them if you want practical, functional, waterproof AND comfortable.

Don't buy!! I have used Sorel Caribou boot in our snowmobile rental business for over 25 years and have been very impressed with the warmth and durability of the boot. I buy about 50 to 100 new pairs of boot every year. However, a few years back Columbia took ownership of sorels. In the past 4-5 years the boots has been substandard and unusable. Almost every pair of boots we have bought in the past 4-5 years the rubber has cracked (sometimes the cracks are over 2" long) on the sides of the front half of the boot causing the boot to leak; which of course makes your foot wet and cold. The first year this happened I wrote Columbia and sent 20 pair of boots back. They sent me 1 replacement boot. They have not fixed the problem because the same thing has happened with the entire boot purchases I have made from them in the past two years, Stupid me for continuing to buy them. I threw away 100 boot that were only used 3-6 months this December and daily I am throwing away more. This year I bought a similar boot, manufactured by a different company, which is warmer, but until next year I won't know how well they hold up. Save yourself some time and money try a different manufacturer.

Not made like they use to/Insoles don’t fit right

7 months ago

I had bought a pair of the insoles for a boot they no longer sell (I can’t find them anywhere) and the stitching was the best and they also seem to have too much material on top because both insoles are bunched up on top of my foot making the boots unwearable. I have a size 8 boot and bought a size 8 insole. I had to return the 1st pair I bought because the guy gave me the wrong size but now I will have to make a 3rd trip to bring them back again and have to find a new boot that will work. The older things Sorel made have been great but now I am going to have to find another brand of boots. I live in Northern NH and it is very cold and snowy here. It’s too bad because I have been buying Sorel boots for 40 yrs.

Cracked rubber, complete separation

4 years ago

I live in Alaska, so I understand that conditions here are tough, but I have only had these one winter season (which is not over for us yet!) and the rubber has completely cracked and separated around the top part of the boot. So there is a gap several inches wide exposing the insulated boot on the inside, and ensures my boot fills with snow and my foot is not protected. My main use was on dog walks on flat, snowy trails. Same thing happening on other boot; cracks around toes but not fully separated yet. Overall, poor quality with no longevity.

Iconic performer

15 years ago

I've had the same pair of caribous since 1997, and they're still going strong. They are warm, keep you dry, and are very easy to get in and out of (even with gloved or freezing fingers). There is plenty of room inside for a heavy pair of socks. In fact, it's a little bit splashy in there, but you wouldn't want anything so tight you couldn't wiggle your feet and get good circulation. They're slightly clunky (wide outside width and a little heavy) and I wouldn't wear them for a night out, but for cold weather living, sledding, driveway shoveling, casual snowshoeing, or to go to and from the slopes they're hard to beat.

Sore ankle with a lot of walking

6 months ago

I wore them two times and they were reasonably comfortable. The 2nd time I wore them for a 3 mile walk in the snow and these caused a large bruise on my right ankle area. While I was walking I thought it was going to be raw skin when I took my sock off because it burned so bad when walking. Thankfully just a bruise. My right ankle could barely be touched for a couple days. I was able to wear my low bean boots without problems. I assume the leather on the right boot just needs to soften up some to I just wasted a lot of money on a boot that I will not be able to wear for long walks in the Vermont snow. I do love that my feet stayed warm and dry. I am going to give it a couple weeks before trying them again.

The Caribou Boot

11 years ago

I cannot express in words how much I love these boots. Not only are they stylish, but comfortable, warm, sturdy, 100% waterproof/sno proof and easily wiped clean. The Caribou is the perfect height; not too short and not too tall. The grips on the bottom make navigating the snowy conditions seamless! They do run very large so I would suggest ordering a size or a half size down from your normal shoe size (dependent on how thick your socks are). I find myself picking outfits that will allow me to wear these boots daily. BEST BUY EVER. Worth every penny and put UGG to shame...

Quality Investment

9 years ago

While these boots appear big and are in fact bulky, they are amazing in East Coast winter weather. I live in Boston and got these the night before we got the tail end of storm Jonas. They are warm and keep the snow out. Yes, they make your feet look big but they are functional. In terms of sizing, I ordered a 7, they feel big with a normal sock and just right with a thick SmartWool sock. Also, allow yourself a few days to break them inside as it takes getting used to their heaviness and were they hit on the low calves. I wear a 6.5 in Hunter Wellies if that helps people.

Surviving the Cold Chicago Winters

8 years ago

I bought these because I moved into the city and now walk everywhere I go. If you have ever lived in a wintry city, you know when it snows not everyone shovels. So you are stuck trucking through blocks of snow. In these boots my feet feel as warm as they do at home!!! Yes, they make me feel like I have an elephant's foot, but when the temps are cold it is not about fashion. Even still, I love the tan swayed and the fluff at the top. Oh, and I would recommending going a size up. I am usually anywhere between 7.5-8 and I went with an 8. Fits like a charm.

The only boots needed for winter

12 years ago

I purchased a pair in 1986. The traction had just worn off, that is 26 years of use. I would wear them with my trench coat to work, and get comments all the time as to where did you get those boots? Great boot for sking and snowmobiling. Little disappointed as size has change since the boot is no longer manufactured in Canada. This pair is difficut to get on and off. I wear a 7.5 and ordered up to an 8. Toes are good, but liner comes out every time I take my foot out. Once you go Sorel you will never go back to a different brand. Warmest boot around.
