These boots are ridiculously amazing! Yes they are heavy, and take getting used to (especially when driving or hiking in), but like any good winter boot, you have to break them in. Now, I couldn't live without them. I wear a size 7 1/2-8 usually, so I bought a size 8, and they fit like a dream. However, I choose to wear mine with a pair or two of thicker ski socks. These boots run narrow, yet are boxy, so my recommendation is that if you have a somewhat narrow foot, size down. If you have a wider foot or are planning to wear them with thick winter socks and want some wiggle room for comfort - stick with your natural shoe size. I've had them for 3 months now, and have no complaints, experienced zero water damage, and have nothing but pure love for these toasty winter companions!

absolutely the best boots ever, warm comfotable and good looking, all my friends want a pair too now

Love these boots! I wear a 7 1/2 in regular shoes and bought a 7. They fit perfectly. They are very durable and waterproof. They are a little heavy and take some getting used to while driving. I have received many compliments on them when wearing them out. They look huge, but are still pretty cute in their own way. I liked them so much I bought a pair of Sorels for my boyfriend. He's happy too.

Looked all around for these and am happy with them so far. They are SUPER bulky. Hard to drive in, etc but great for the snow. They seem really sturdy and I'm very satisfied!

I got these for my wife. She has worn them a couple times now for Ice Fishing. She says that her toes will still get a little cold, but that these are much warmer than other boots she has owned.

I got her a size 9. She got mad because I didn't remember she was a size 10. I told her that all the reviews said that they run a size larger and that I was told to order them a size smaller than normal. Skeptical, she tried them on...yep, perfect fit!

This is a fabulous boot for snowy and cold winters. I have been impressed with how warm the shoes are, particularly because I get cold feet quickly in the winters of Minnesota. The boots are true to size and what's great is that they comfortably fit a thick pair or two thinner pairs of socks and still give your feet room to move. I usually wear a size 10 and ordered a 10 and am perfectly happy with them. Their traction is very good. I love the green color - something different for a change. The price is worth it because they will last for years. Highly recommended!

I traveled from sunny California to Banff, Canada for Christmas where it was -15 F and found that Sorel's are to Canada what flip-flops are to California. These were the boots of choice for the dogsledding team that thought -15 F was a WARM day for the winter. My feet were warm and cute the entire trip. I got the Caribou in the Elderberry color and I never wanted to take them off. They run a size large so I got a 7 instead of an 8 and they were perfect w/a pair of merino wool socks (don't wear cotton in cold weather). P.S.- the bubble cleats kept me from slipping in the ice even once!

I usually wear a size 8 and got the size 8! With thick socks they are perfect. A winter boot that is too tight is NOT GOOD at all. Your feet will not be as warm, no matter what kind of boot you wear! I prefer them being too big than too small. But it also depends on your feet. I have a wide foot so staying true to my size was better, in my case.
Love these boots. Warm, stylish and best of all...waterproof! :)

These things were ENORMOUS. I wear a size 9 or 9.5 normally and I ordered them in a size 9. Even with several layers of socks these things were swimming on my feet. I know sorels have a great reputation but these boots were not for me. I wanted something that I could really walk in and these things were just too clunky. Ended up with a pair of Keens that I love.

I did a TON of research and narrowed down my choices to this boot and the Columbia Bugaboot, and I am glad I picked these! My feet get cold very easily and I was worried these would be too warm when I'm inside but they seem to regulate heat well. They are super comfortable, really warm, great lug sole and supple uppers. Be warned though, I did have to return mine and get a size smaller than I normally wear since my feet were literally flopping around in them, as others have stated. I thought they wouldn't be that much bigger, but they really seem to run an entire size bigger.

I just want to post a comment regarding the sizing of these boots, which I purchased for my size 7.5 daughter. Based on so many reviewers stating that these boots ran large, I bought a size 7. My daughter, living in the forests of eastern Oregon, has tried them on and says that she wouldn't be able to wear anything other than a thin sock with the size 7, and will have to exchange for an 8. A snow boot should obviously leave room for heavy socks, and based on this recent knowledge, I recommend that ladies who wear a half size order UP, rather than down. My star rating is random, since I haven't worn a pair of these boots.

I finally bought these boots after looking at them for two months. The first time I wore them, I couldn't believe how comfortable they were. When I go outside in the snow, whether to the mailbox, campus, or the local tavern, I am in these boots. I refuse to wear anything else. My feet are now the warmest part of my body when I leave the house - and I wish I'd purchased them two month ago. I wear a size 8.5 normally, and bought these boots in a size 8, and they fit perfect (especially with smart wool socks). Their traction is great on ice, and my feet are completely dry. And this site was great, as was 5 day shipping (got them in 3 days).

I love this shoe, good for rain and snow. They're very clunky, but it's not a fashion shoe. I'm a size 7.5 (w) and got a 7, and have a ton of room for a good, warm sock.

I just bought my 2nd pair.After 40 yrs,the tread was pretty tired on my 1st pair.These are the only boots that ever kept my feet warm and dry.They are comfy and easy to get on and off.I bought a size 7(usual shoe size,too) and they are a bit big but I like to wear 2 prs.of socks and have wiggle room.Works wonderfully for me.These are excellent boots and I highly recommend them!!

If you are looking for a boot that will keep you warm, even if you work in a wet environment like a car wash, these boots will stand up to your test.

The best winter boot hands down. Order a 1/2 size smaller than normal. Your feet will NOT get cold in these boots. They last for years; I've had the same pair since 1980. Have bought one new pair of felt liners. They rock!

These are by far the warmest boots I have ever owned. I was looking for a good all around snow boot for winter hiking, snowshoeing and just being outdoors. I've been wearing these boots a lot and they are extremely warm, I've been out in 10 degree weather or less for hours and not had any problem with them. They are a little clunky and heavy but I don't mind because they keep me warm. I normally wear a size 6.5... I ordered a 6 and they a perfect with thick socks.

I ordered these boots for me and my wife. It took only 5 days from ordering until I received it in Oslo Norway, and the service is really good. The boots are warm and awesome for Norwegian winter. My friends liked the boots too, so yesterday I ordered 2 more pairs. I can highly recommend both Backcountry and Sorrel Boots. Antonio. Oslo Norway.

My feet are always cold so in light of a trip to be in the snow fro a week it was very important that I prepare. These boots are fantastic. Comfortable, warm, excellent grip. Very happy!

I love love love these boots. They are so comfortable and warm. They are easy to slip on and can get you through anything. They run really big- I'm a 7.5 and had to send the 7 back and get a 6. The 6 fits perfectly.

Great Boots!!! I had the same boot when I was a kid and my feet were never cold, even at 20 below in the mountains of western Wyoming. Now, I'm still trapsing around the moutanins and my feet are warm and dry. I've used them on short hikes and for longer snowshoes without blisters. They even look cute to wear around town over jeans. If you are a half size order up or they will be a bit too snug.

Very warm boot that kept my feet dry in thick snow. But they were too heavy and bulky for daily use.

Excellent traction - toasty warm - waterproof. I followed the advice of the other reviewers and ordered a 9 instead of my usual 9 1/2 wide. Great advice. They do run big - the 9 fits perfect. I also used the 'chat now' feature to help pick the right boot (for ice fishing). The chat now feature saved me a significant amount of searching.

daughter loves the boot, she wears a 7.5, but after reading the reviews I ordered her an 8, too big. I told wear heavier socks or two we'll see what happen. Did not have time to send them back, for she needed them for the weekend.

When we moved from CA to IL this year, our movers lost all of our boots (winter, ski, board...7 pairs). I had the Sorel Caribous before and they were the first thing I replaced. They were great in the Tahoe snow and are great in Chicago slush/ice/snow. They are really warm. My regular size is a women's 8. Last time, I bought a size 8 because I figured that with ski socks on they would be snug. They were a bit too big even with thick socks, and wished I had gone a size smaller, so this time I did. The 7s fit great and I love the elderberry color. They are very warm because they don't get wet with the rubber sides, and they are lined with warm fuzzy stuff. I even like to wear them around the house if I can't find my slippers.

I bought these for my fiance as a Christmas present, and bought a full size above her shoe size. The boots fit with room for heavy-ish socks, and she absolutely loved wearing them in the 2 feet of new snow we had just prior to christmas.

Bought these boots in a womens 9 - which is my usual size - and felt like I was wearing clown shoes! Even with thick socks, they would still be huge. I actually think they are a mens 9, and compared them to my husband's shoes (he wears a mens 9) - they are much closer in size to his shoes than mine! Anyway, I'm returning them and see that they're pretty much sold out of this model, so maybe I'll try again next year. Bummer. Wanted them to wear to work (Ski Patrol).

These boots rock! Super warm, easy to get on & off. The edamame color is great - not too bold, but something different. They run a bit big - I normally wear a 7 in a winter boot, and upon recommendation, got a 6 - Fit great! An awesome classic. I even got the man to do some shopping and pick up a pair for himself for the upcoming VT winter. A+ boot.

I returned these boots. I ordered an 8, which fit great for my size 7.5 feet, but it looked like I was wearing my husband's size 12 shoe!!! These are just really GIANT boots. They were bulky and heavy. I am sure they would be great for a much more rugged need. I wanted them because I wanted to have something waterproof and warm that would give good traction on icy/snowy outings. These were just not meant to be an everyday boot for me. They were very warm, but I just could NOT get over the size of them. Backcountry was great with my return! I am going to look for some boots, it just will not be these!

All I can say right now is that they are larger than the stated size. I usually wear a 7-7.5 in boots or anything I wear with thick socks (size 6 in dress shoes with no socks, and 6.5 in running shoes). I ordered a size 6 in the Caribou and there is still room in there even with two pairs of thick socks... Haven't tried them in Alaskan interior yet (or anywhere but my bedroom to check for size), but I will update this soon with reviews for warmth and comfort.
As far as looks, they're gorgeous and will fit under boot cut jeans, but can also have jeans tucked in without looking weird.

My boots are great! They fit just perfectly and are so warm and keep my feet dry in the crazy Canadian weather!! Thanks =)

these boots are amazing!! I have been wanting them for months now and finally decided to buy them and i have never been happier. I wear a size 7.5 so I bought the 7 and it fits nicely with a thick pair of socks.

Bought a pair for myself loved them so much I bought a pair for my sister! Perfect for snow, I wear them to the mountain, walking the dog and to work on those really nasty days.

Thanks for the recommending the Caribou Cold Weather Boot. As a person who has a history of freezing her feet, I can attest to the fact that the boots keep your feet warm in the coldest of weather! Hats off to you and your wonderful product!

Having already owned these in the men's version, and it was easy to purchase a pair for my wife. The styling is attractive and there simply is not a warmer boot with a better sole.

I bought a pair of these boots for my girlfriend for Christmas. She loves them! In fact, since we had snow, I couldnt get her to take them off! I read some reviews before buying that complained about how big these boots are. Hey! They're snow boots! They're not dainty. Comfortable and warm describes them - I bought a pair for myself a few years ago. Delivery was as promised. I went to Sorel's website and at the time I bought the boots Backcountry.com was listed as a retailer. So I felt confident I was buying from a reputable supplier.

These boots are amazing! Not only do they keep your feet super toasty and dry, they are very comfortable. I never knew I could enjoy shoveling the snow. I recently wore them snowshoeing in Yellowstone and they really proved their worth. Excellent purchase. They do fit big, though. I purchased my regular size and they were big so I compensate with a thicker sock and that does the trick.

Anybody who lives around snow needs a pair of Sorels. Tried, true and tested - these boots are solid. They have much better traction than the older models.

Since I wear a size 10 the boot is extremely big and heavy. Its ironic that I received them on Friday and awoke this morning to North Jersey first snow fall. Temps are 22degrees out and snow coming down. You know Im going to walk and get the paper. They felt warm and comfortable trying them on in the house and since they were recommended by a friend who knows the brand said they were the best, im sure I will just as toasty warm and comfortable outside. Off to get the paper I go wearing my Sorels.

still not sure about the size usually i wear 39-40 if its italian help
