Seriously heavy duty winter boot
PostedDecember 30, 2019
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my second pair of the Caribou boot. After 10 years with the caramel color I felt like an update so I bought the black pair. The 10 year old pair was still in great shape, I just wanted a new color.
These boots are amazingly warm because of the wool inner boot that can also be replaced (this is also what makes the boot run, for me, a half size small). Totally water proof. If you're looking for a boot for cold northern winters, this is an excellent option.
Because they are a little bulky they aren't the easiest boot to walk long distances in. I keep two pairs of winter boots, the Caribou for more intense weather and another pair for lighter weather/easier walking. It does also annoy me slightly that the wool boot sometimes comes out with your foot when taking off the boot. It's not a design flaw and this is what makes the boots so warm so I think it's worth it.
Overall for such a heavy duty boot I also think it's pretty cute. I actually wish I'd kept the caramel color pair to have along with the black!

So Warm, but One Complaint
PostedDecember 27, 2019
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'll start by saying I typically wear a size 10 women's shoe, and after reading the reviews on this product I decided to order a 9.5. I'm glad I did! They fit perfectly with just enough room to fit thicker socks. These boots do look a little large, sort of clown shoe-esque, and are a little heavy, but the boots are so warm and kept my feet dry while hiking around the woods at the cabin in about 20" of snow. I had read reviews of the boot liner always coming out, and while it does displace slightly when I slide the boots off, it's super easy to put back in place, so I don't see a problem there. My one complaint would be that the lining of the boot doesn't quite wrap around to close at the front of the calf. When we got back to the cabin I had a pretty compacted snowball in the gap of the liner at the front of my shin. I wish the liner went further around the calf, but I would also say that probably wouldn't have been a problem had I been able to keep the top of the boot above snow level which is why I'm still giving these boots a 5-star rating! I can't wait to wear my Sorel's for years to come, and will most likely be buying my next pair from Sorel as well.

My 70yr old mom’s dream come true
PostedDecember 25, 2019
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] For years I have watched my mom lavish myself and my family with gifts and not justify fulfilling a dream she has had for over 30yrs for a brand new pair of Sorel’s for herself. Until recently she would not allow us to buy her presents because she didn’t feel we were financially stable enough to do it. However my family has always trusted sorel’s for our winter footwear. As she walks my son’s (her grandsons) to their bus stop she complains of cold feet as my boys declare theirs are toasty and reminding grandma she should get Sorel’s like they and our family have. So this year our whole family decided we need to give her these boots for Christmas and prayed she would not deny receiving them. She opened them today and cried tears of joy. She truly received them and for the first time in 36yrs my mom allowed herself to be lavished. She hasn’t removed the boots since she opened them and proclaimed she will sleep with them. We are very cold here in MN and she was toasty as she played with her grandchildren and trust she will be toasty for years to come. We are happy with this purchase and want to thank Sorel for making a 70 yr old hero of ours winter dream come true. Happy Holidays!

Beautiful Caribou Boots in Shale/Stone
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are great boots. Definitely ones to wear for winter walking and hiking in heavy snow. They are not light-weight my any means, and that was expected.
The sherpa liners give them extra insulation and a good look.
They run true to size and are what we call "Life-time Boots".
