I love this boot!!! This is my second pair of Sorel’s. I am still wearing my first pair that I bought in the early 1990's. I had surgery on my feet, so they get cold easily. I can honestly say that I have never gotten cold feet in Sorel’s. Thank you for carrying them.

Very happy - I have tested these boots in deep puddles and snow. Definitely waterproof as stated. They look cute as well. They are sort of clunky, not for moving very fast, but I love them. I live in Chicago and they are great. Very warm as stated as well. The liners are awesome and you don't even need socks. I got the black ones because I thought the buff would get too dirty. Very happy with color as well. They are not jet black, but more on the blue side. If you want to wear them without the liners, you will need to order a size down. I ordered my usual shoes size and they fit perfectly with the liners.

I'm 'Sorel' sorry. The boots felt fine when I first tried them on, but once I put them to use, I found that the right boot is actually painful to wear. It is digging into my ankle and is not improved with heavy socks. The left boot is great and has plenty of room for my wide foot and bunion. Wish I would have walked around in them longer in the house first before taking them hiking. I would have returned them and tried a different pair.

Sorel Women’s Caribou - Runs big, I am a 9.5 to 10 W, and a 9W fit me fine. It was a med, I might go with a narrow if you don't want the "clunk". This is a handsome, functional boot for those more interested in keeping warm and having traction. I also own an ULU boot, which is just as warm, and less clunky. The problem is it is not as hardy. After two years, the leather is tearing in places, letting H2O in. They were out of black...I ordered "asphalt". I looked like it had a greenish tint to it in the photo, yet it is a nice darker gray color. I actually prefer it over black (and I haven’t seen any one else with this color!). Non-buff colors rarely go on sale... so just pay retail for the boot (it will keep you toasty forever...and the liners are even replaceable). PS, could use more arch support!

STILL QUALITY SOREL CARIBOU - I needed a utility boot for serious cold. This is still the one that fits that niche. Warm, dry, durable, I outgrew the 1st pair & passed them down...! They never wore out! This lining is warm & dry as well. This winter is cold & puts it to the test! Enjoy! T

Fantastic boot for the cold weather - I was hesitant to keep this boot - I was searching for the perfect outdoor-tough/city-cute combo, and did like the Sorel Kaya a lot. However, when it came down the functionality, this boot won by a large margin. I ended up getting the green color which adds some spunk. I have not regretted this purchase at all, as a matter of fact, I just convinced my husband to get a pair.

Serious boot! My sister gave these to me as a gift and they are awesome. They are built like a fortress. Nothing will get in them. I spent all day yesterday and the day before rolling around in the 3 feet of snow we got this weekend. Built a 6' snowman, played tag with my kids, made snow angels, etc. And my feet stay totally and completely dry and warm...and I wore them barefoot! They do run a little big though. I wear a 9 1/2-10, my sister got me a 9 and they fit perfectly. In all the playing around, my toes never touched the front of the boot lol. Bottom line: Great boot! If you want something a little "prettier" though I also recommend the ULU Seona boot. They are so soft that I want to sleep in them but are also completely waterproof and are much taller than the Sorel.

Sorel Caribou - I love my Sorel Caribou boots. They are warm totally functional and comfortable; the edamame color is a bonus. I have a wide foot that is difficult to fit these are a good fit even with a heavy wool sock. My teenage daughters each have a pair.

It is what is is, and does what it does. In that sense, it's a great boot. I have high arches and had to work to get the boot on initially. Better after some wear. Keeps my feet warm and dry in the worst Midwestern weather. I miss my Canadian Sorel’s but oh well. You'll like these.

Warm, Good looking boots - Finally my feet were warm when we were out on the ice fishing, atv-ing, snowmobiling, etc. I think the reason these feel a little smaller than most boots is because of the liner.

Warm as Toast - This is the best boot for winter ever (these are a replacement for my last pair which lasted 15 years and only succumbed to the teeth of an overactive dog, not the elements and the new green color makes it slightly fashionable - but who cares about fashion when your toes are toasty warm and your calves are getting a mini-workout from hoisting these boots. Right now with a new snowfall of ten inches I'm feeling lucky in my Sorels.

Sorel Caribou - I looooove my Caribou boots in lavender!!! They elicit compliments every time I wear them! They are crazy warm, and I learned from my boyfriend that taking the liners out to dry is a good idea between wearings. I'll never fear Vermont blizzards again! The liners do rub on my legs in an irritating way, so I wear long socks with them. But my feet are always warm and comfy.

I was a little dubious about the size of these when I placed my order. Normally I wear an 8.5 and planned on buying a size 9. The 9 was sold out by the time I ordered them, so I took a chance and ordered an 8 fully expecting them to be too snug. They fit beautifully and I even have a little extra toe room--with thick winter socks. I would definitley suggest sizing down if you wear a half size.

Cozy boots - While these may not be the most fashionable of routes for snow boots they are definitely the more practical route. These boots keep my feet totally warm, have good traction and the fun green color spunks them up a bit. I feel like I've bought the snow boots I'll have for the rest of my life!

Good snow boots! I got these boots because I take the bus to and from school. They are a bit wider than they appear in the pictures and they are quite bulky but they do the job. Definitely not a fashion statement but it works for me! They keep my feet nice and dry. Would recommend! :)

Big! But great - These boots are very warm and perfect for the snow. The only downside is that they are kind of heavy and they run pretty big. I usually wear an 8.5-9, but the 9s were way too big. The 8 was perfect though.

They ain't pretty, but they're warm & dry! It took me almost ten years of living in New England and dealing with months of freezing cold snow and slush before I finally broke down and bought a pair of Sorels, but I am glad I did! My toes are warm and dry and happy in these things. And the look is growing on me. Not particularly stylish, but so ugly they're cute, in a lumberjack sort of way. I tried on several different styles of Sorel and found that the Caribou had the most generous fit. I'm a 7.5, not quite a wide width, but a bit wider than average and these in size 7 gave me plenty of room to wiggle my toes and wear thick socks. They come up high enough to keep snow out of them, there is a nice fuzzy collar around the top to keep them from rubbing your shins, and because they lace up you can tuck your pants in them.

Caribou's Rock! Just got my Sorel Caribous. I originally ordered the Snowcats, but decided I wanted to try the Caribous before I made up my mind. I am glad I did. They are so comfortable and fit very well. I ordered a size 8 and I usually wear an 8.5. They fit well with or without socks. They may appear clunky in the picture, but they are actually very easy to walk in. The lacing system is very nice. In all my years of skiing, 90% of ski lift operators are wearing Caribou's. I knew I made a good choice. I also love the black color.

The best winter boot! I’ve worn this model boot for 25 years. I’ve tried others but this is by far the warmest, most comfortable, most waterproof, longest lasting and most versatile of all. Works from the first snow through the mud season. Great for snow shoeing too. I like this shoe so much I keep an extra new pair on hand in case they ever stop making them. Nice and roomy so your feet don’t lose circulation like they do in close boots = cold feet.

Warm in Utah winters - This boot is great - my toes are perpetually cold - but these boots have kept them toasty through a cold Utah winter and lots of snow! I have found them to lack a little support and a little voluminous - but I also have relatively narrow and flat feet - so I slipped an insole in them and they're perfect! I wear an 8-8.5 shoe - and the 8 is plenty long...

My toes are warm and dry and happy in these things. And the look is growing on me. Not particularly stylish, but so ugly they're cute, in a lumberjack sort of way. I tried on several different styles of Sorel and found that the Caribou had the most generous fit. I'm a 7.5, not quite a wide width, but a bit wider than average and these in size 7 gave me plenty of room to wiggle my toes and wear thick socks. They come up high enough to keep snow out of them, there is a nice fuzzy collar around the top to keep them from rubbing your shins, and because they lace up you can tuck your pants in them.

Caribou's Rock! Just got my Sorel Caribous. I originally ordered the Snowcats, but decided I wanted to try the Caribous before I made up my mind. I am glad I did. They are so comfortable and fit very well. I ordered a size 8 and I usually wear an 8.5. They fit well with or without socks. They may appear clunky in the picture, but they are actually very easy to walk in. The lacing system is very nice. In all my years of skiing, 90% of ski lift operators are wearing Caribou's. I knew I made a good choice. I also love the black color.

The best winter boot! I’ve worn this model boot for 25 years. I’ve tried others but this is by far the warmest, most comfortable, most waterproof, longest lasting and most versatile of all. Works from the first snow through the mud season. Great for snow shoeing too. I like this shoe so much I keep an extra new pair on hand in case they ever stop making them. Nice and roomy so your feet don’t lose circulation like they do in close boots = cold feet.

Warm in Utah winters - This boot is great - my toes are perpetually cold - but these boots have kept them toasty through a cold Utah winter and lots of snow! I have found them to lack a little support and a little voluminous - but I also have relatively narrow and flat feet - so I slipped an insole in them and they're perfect! I wear an 8-8.5 shoe - and the 8 is plenty long...

I love my new Sorel’s! Can't go wrong with these for snowy weather. They are not the most feminine looking boot but there is no substitute. Your feet will always be warm and toasty.
