My dad has a pair of Caribous that have been awesome for 15 years. I bought mine 1.5 years ago and they are falling apart. Made in China now. I wear them almost every day in the winter, and the soles have lasted. But the liners have ripped and the rubber part on the top/inner part of both boots have holes (the big toe knuckle area, if that makes sense). Look into other winter boots, because these are great at first but just don't last.
size issues--seems everyone has

I got my regular size and they are huge! Wish there were 1/2 sizes available. I thought they'd be okay with bulkier socks--but the lining is so thick your feet will cook with thick socks.
That being said--I do like them and they are holding up in the mountain snow.
Bulky but warm

This boot is a bit big in size, I'm a size 6 but could of went with a size 5. Extremely warm and a bit heavy to walk in.
Will you be getting more sizes of this...

These boots have a 1.5" heel height and 9.5" boot shaft height, so they would come to your lower-mid calf.
BEST BOOTS!

I have been wearing Sorel boots since I was a young girl. Living out West - these are a MUST for the winter season. These boots are extremely durable and will last for years. I just bought a new pair to replace the ones I've had for nearly 10 years! These are the best boots, period.
Great winter boot but very bulky
sus3389547

These boots are warm, waterproof, and a classic winter boot. That being said, I find them VERY bulky, so consider ordering a half to full size smaller than you otherwise might. Also, the inner-lining slips out every time I take them off, which is annoying. Otherwise, a very dependable winter boot!
Clunky but a keeper.

I bought these boots for my girlfriend and she can be picky. They are a little bulky, but what good winter boot isnt? At first she wasnt very happy with the size, but once she started stomping around in the snow hiking, she fell in love with shoe and getting outside with some snow on the ground.
Warm Fuzzy Goodness

I absolutely love this boot. I was a Lifty at Alta Ski Area this past winter, so these boots definitely were "field tested". My feet stayed super warm and the traction was amazing on snow and ice. The one downside is the laces don't stay tied all the time, but that's a simple fix with a double knot- or just different laces. Sorel's will last forever!! Very durable- after the season my boots still look brand new. Word of Advice- buy a size or 1/2 size bigger than you need. The insole will pop out easily if the boot is too tight (which isn't that big of a deal, and as the boot wears in the insole begins to stay). Also, a size up will give you room to layer your feet with nice warm socks if you're planning on being in the cold for a few hours.
So happy

I got my boots in a size up, which I had to return and get the size smaller. That said, I love my boots! I'm form a warm climate and went to Chicago in the recent snow. They keep my feet warm and dry and were super cute. I got compliments from the locals!

Is there a Sorel style boot that isn't big and clunky? I'm small and need to be able to lift my legs when I walk lol. Thanks
Jeff Blackston

Yes, there are .. but, if you want the same level of insulation, then maybe not. Some of the Tivoli models offer light insulation and a lower profile. Also, check out Cate the Great, and the Joan of Arctic boots. Again, these won't be as warm as the Caribou. Hope this helps you, Mary.
Not what I expected
Mary
Member since
Let me start by saying the Sorel's I ordered are a very durable warm boot and the name speaks for itself when it comes to quality. My problem with these boots is they are big and clunky. As a small person I should have given that some thought before I purchased them. I also listened to the review about size. They fit as any other shoe, boot or sneaker would. So when ordering order your normal size not a size smaller like some reviewers suggested. I would recommend this boot to any one except a small framed woman.
Now on to customer service. I had to exchange the first pair because they were small (no fault of Sorel but of a reviewer or two). The first person I chatted with was very pleasant and answered my many questions with such professionalism. He led me in the right direction and my exchange went along flawlessly. Then I receive the new pair and they didn't fit so well either but that was my fault I should have realized from the first pair that the big and chunky wasn't going to go away. The second representative was also very nice. Since it was my second time around I didn't overwhelm him with many questions. But again, my transaction went smoothly and without flaws.
In conclusion - Sorel is a great boot and Backcountry I would order from you again based on your customer service who deserve a pat on the back. Thank you!
Big, Clunky and Warm

If these weren't so massive and heavy I'd have given them five stars. They're a great boot that do exactly what they're supposed to do- keep your feet warm and keep you on your feet- but make no mistake, they are clunky and they are heavy. However, I find the weight and size worth it as the soles are very very nonslip, the liner is comfortable, and the whole thing is super warm. My feet are always frozen. The day I got these I went hiking in the snow for a few hours in 25 degree weather, and my feet were hot.
Some say the fit to size and some say they...

Some say the fit to size and some say they run big.
I wear a size 8 religiously (my running shoes, hiking boots, sandals, and even my slippers are a size 8). What size boot should I get?
Mary
Member since
I'd go with the 8. I went a size smaller and it was snug.
Mads
Member since
The discrepancy may be due to what kind of socks these folks are wearing with the boots vs. their normal shoes. I'm a 5.5 and I tried these boots on in store with running socks and the size 6 seemed too big. When I got home, I tried them on with my thick wool socks and the 6 was perfect.
Not the Same as they used to be...

I have bee wearing Sorel Caribous for 30 years. They are a mainstay in my wardrobe here in Telluride, Colorado. One of my secret pleasures is getting a new pair, I recently received a pair and couldn't get them on since the liner was so tightly sewn together all the way to the top with some material with very little stretch, also the liner was a lot thinner than my old ones. Then I compared the boot sole to sole with my old boot and these were wider and an 1 1/2" longer. I realize the boots are made in China now and not Canada and I do appreciate the new styles Sorel has come out with - I just miss my old Sorels with the thick liners, lug soles and snug fit. Unfortunately I am returning these and looking for some on Ebay from canada!!
