So I bought the Sorel Caribou snow boots after reviewing all of the reviews, positive and negative. I've read reviews where they said these are heavy. Yes, a little heavier than an UGG boot. However, I took about two hours reviewing The North Face, Columbia Sportswear, UGG, LL Bean, Eddie Bauer, no name brands, and other lightweight Sorel winter boots. Seems there was at least 1-5 reviews in all of the above snow boots that suggested water seeped in for some. That's 1 too many. I would rather have a little heavier of a boot with a secure waterproof sole than have water seep in to freeze my toes, or have a thin rubber sole that cracks. I did not notice driving being a problem, nor did my foot press on both gas and brakes at the same time. So, yes a tad heavier than some, but not like cinder blocks. I feel these will handle walking in any ice or snow without my feet being cold, water seeping in or rubber cracking. This particular boot said it can run a little large; I wear a 6.5 so ordered a 6.5 and it was perfect for me. I put on a thick sock on and it fit amazing without being snug. So take your chances on wet toes or cracked rubber soles on other lighter weight snow boots, but my vote is for feeling absolutely safe without a shadow of a doubt that these will work in rain, snow and ice.

Absolutely amazing! Warm and comfy. They are not the everyday girly shoes that people expect, they are made for outdoor activities. Therefore if you are looking for a boot that is not “big” you might have to look at other styles. I would recommend these 100%. Best boot I’ve ever owned.
Size difference between Joan of Arctic sz. 8 on left & Caribou sz. 7 1/2 on right
These boots were very snug and warm and so comfortable, but even though I ordered down a half size to a 7 1/2, they made my feet look enormous! I felt like I was wearing giant man boots! I decided to return for the more feminine looking Joan of Arctics.
