The Caribou is the Ultimate.

By Rob de Luca November 3, 2009

I've had Sorel Caribous since I was a little kid and if anything they've only gotten better. Wore them shoveling the driveway during the East Coast ice storms of the 90's, wore them every day as a lift op in Tahoe, standing on the snow from 6 am to 5 pm, and I wear them on the way to and from the mountains here in Utah. NEVER been cold in them. The new(er) liner is reinforced in the heel to be more durable than the old one, and the Air-Bob sole has tiny air pockets in each tread, keeping you up off the ground and adding even more insulation. My only possible complaint is that they're big and clunky, and definitely too warm to wear indoors for extended periods. You can't move quickly while wearing them, and if you buy your normal size it's hard to even drive a car in them. I size down from my normal 10 to a 9 and that's ok, but I still have plenty room for heavy socks. Aside from the size issue though, Sorel Caribous are the only winter boot you'll ever need if you live where it gets really cold.
