Sorel Women's Caribou Snow Boot Reviews Page 2

December 01, 2010

This is the second pair of Caribou's I bought - I love them. They are durable enough for everyday use but sassy enough to wear to and from work. I think the boots do run about a size bigger (I wear a size 8 and ordered size 7 with relatively perfect fit).

No frostbite for me.
November 29, 2010

I have had these boots for years and they are fantastic. They are my heavy duty winter boots. These boots are for days when there are multiple inches of snow falling or when the high temperature is below zero. My feet are always cold, so winter can be a challenge. When I combine these boots with a good pair of socks, my feet stay warm. If I'm going to be outside for an extended period of time, say for a football game or a pond hockey tournament, I throw in a couple of foot warmers and I don't have to worry about frostbite! I will say that these boots are a little clunky, but once they've been worn for a while they reach that perfectly broken in stage. They also run big, so order down.

Ahhh...Warm feet
November 25, 2010

My daughter does outdoor events year round and she needed boots to keep her feet warm. As a concerned dad (and an engineer) I researched for hours on reviews and recommendations and Sorels kept coming up. I remember Sorels from years ago as the outdoor field and hunting boots to have. She hasn't had a cold weather event to try them yet but just wearing them around she can tell they will do the trick. She is 5'4" and is a size 4-6. Her shoe size is around a 7 but she has a wide foot. She says the boots fit just right and is looking forward to trying them in the cold in a few weeks. She really liked the color which wasn't too girly but then had a female touch about it. The age bracket I used for this review is for her so as to keep this review's perspective.

Fantastic boot!
November 22, 2010

I recently purchased these boots as I need a pair that will survive extremly cold and snowy conditions. I've only worn them in wet, rainy and zero Celsius conditions but so far they have been fantastic. I get cold feet very easily and they usually start to freeze around zero Celsius but these boots have kept my feet warm and cosy. I love how light they are for being a serious snow boot and that I can wear them in the city and they still look good. I am looking forward to the cold knowing I won't freeze in these! The size run slightly large. I am usually a size US 8- 8.5 but I ordered a size smaller , US 7, and they fit perfectly. I have quite wide feet and the fit great even with a thicker sock on. I've had the boots for less than a month and I haven't had any issues on quality or durability thus far. However that isn't enough time to give them a grounded rating on those two areas. Overall I would reccomend these boots based on my experience so far!!

Just waitin' for the snow!
November 16, 2010

Buying these boots was my first experience ordering from Altrec, and I'm a fan! The Caribou's are exactly as I expected from reading the description and reviews. They run a little big and are a little heavy, but I think they'll be great when it starts snowing, and they'll give me a good leg workout! I've been told that they last forever too. The shipping was exceptional as I received them only a few days after placing the order online.

Love the boot!
November 09, 2010

I am cold 24/7 in the winter and these boots are exactly what is needed here in WI. The sole and tread are nice and thick to keep your foot off the cold ground. The lining is great. I normally wear an 8.5 in shoes so I got a 9 in the boot and w/ a thick sock they fit perfect. I will embrace the snow now and not fear the cold.......thank you Sorel!

nice sturdy boot
November 06, 2010

Nice sturdy boot. I usually wear anywhere between a 8 1/2 or a 9, and I bought a size 8 based on other reviews...the size 8 fits perfect. I can't wait to use them snowshoeing!

Great Boots
October 21, 2010

These are extremely high quality boots. They do run at least a half size too big. I heard they ran big and I normally wear an 8.5, so I ordered an 8. The 8 fit well with room for thick socks. Super warm and completely comfortable.

Great Winter Boot
October 20, 2010

Perfect winter boot, warm, comfort and keeps your feet dry! It does run big so I suggest a half size to full size down, and the boots do look a little manly in the larger sizes.

Really Warm!
September 10, 2010

These are excellent boots made of VERY high quality materials. They're extremely warm. I feel like these are the go to boots for mid winter freezing, snowy, rainy, or whatever mother nature wants to throw at you. I'm in New England and it can get REALLY cold and wet, so I'm happy to have found these- the warmest I've ever tried! The only thing that might need getting used to is the size. I read other reviews and ordered down(I'm a size 8.5 and ordered an 8). The eight fits perfectly inside, but they are just a tad bigger/bulkier(I think they run wide) than what I'm used to- however, it's not at all a bother- especially when these will be keeping me warm and dry in below freezing temps and wet weather!

love love love

I have never had a winter boot so this is my first! They are great and i love them. I now cant wait to try them out next winter in the snow, the style, color and fit are wonderful. I am normally and 8 and went a full size down to a 7 and they fit perfect!

Warm feet finally!
March 01, 2010

I have never had a winter boot keep my feet really warm. I usually put toe warmers in my boots. The boots are roomy ordered my normal size 7 for boots and they are very roomy. Comfortable with two or one pair of socks. Worth the money!

great, comfy boots
February 09, 2010

I bought these to wear in the snow, and they truly are fabulous. They keep my feet warm, and keep the snow out. I love them. I usually wear a 9, and so I bought a 9 for these boots, but they're a tad bit big - no big deal, I just wear thicker socks. :-)

love them
January 14, 2010

the best winter boot i have ever worn---do run big but i ordered my true size and with winter socks they feel wonderful--had my first pair for 20 something years so they do last---well worth the investment---

Absolutely love them
January 08, 2010

Like other readers, I was glad to see a size 11 in these boots. They run a bit bigger with normal socks, but fit much better with thicker winter socks. Keep your feet nice and toasty!!

My feet are warm and happy!
January 06, 2010

I had a pair or Sorels before - they were men's though-I was thrilled to find a women's 11! The fit is good. The do run a bit big-if you plan to wear a heavy sock I would order your true size if possible. I have been on several hikes with the dogs and my feet have been toasty warm! Great traction on frozen snow/ice.

bought two pair for my twin daughters...they are thrilled
January 04, 2010

My girls live in snow country and needed very stylish and warm boots...got both for the same price.

Love them!!
January 02, 2010

The warmest boots for the coldest and snowiest of days. Love my color too, only place I could find them in this color. Order a size smaller, they run a little big. They look great on too!

LOVE THEM
December 19, 2009

these boots not only hold up in freezing NYC temps, but they are so stylish now! love them <3

Great!!!
December 10, 2009

live in a wet climate, not a ton of snow, but these boots are great. Super warm and waterproof. Great for just going to the dog park. I think they do run a bit big....I wear a 9 and there is room for my foot to move a bit, however, not an issue when I wear thicker socks.

goot boot
December 01, 2009

good boot for warm and wet

these boots are true to size
November 06, 2009

normally i wear a 9.5 i purchased a 9 as suggested in the customer reviews now i have to return them

Great Boots
November 05, 2009

I bought them half a size smaller and was afraid they wouldn't fit but they do perfectly with or without socks. Nice and fluffy feeling and NO sweaty wetty feet any more. the weight of the boots is reasonable great comfort even for a very small woman like me. i will enjoy this coming winter. Thanx

Sorel SNow Boots-Women's
September 12, 2009

I have had mine since 1999 and totally love them. They come thru with warmth and good construction year after year and stay stylish looking. I take good care of them and they last. Thanks Sorel.

Best winter boots ever
August 03, 2009

They are great boots for the winter season. Good for everything from hiking and snowshoeing to shoveling the driveway and apres ski. They are comfortable and stylish but most importantly they have awesome traction and are warm. Definitely run a size big so size down. I shopped around and found the best price with Altrec.com. Will shop here again for sure!!!

Nice look not crazy about the sizing.
July 22, 2009

It's the middle of summer right now. So I can't review the wear and tear on these. I think they look good. I do find them a bit on the heavy side. I can't imagine them being to comfortable. But maybe after breaking them in. The biggest complaint I have is the sizing. I usually an 8 but after reading that they run a size big I bought a 7. What I really think would be best is a 7 1/2 and they don't come in half sizes. So I'm really hoping that fact my toe is touching the front of the boot isn't going to prove a major issue. I think an 8 would be way too big.

Outstanding Boot
February 10, 2009

I bought these boots for my girlfriend who is always complaining about her feet being cold. I just love her feet so I could not allow for that to happen. I have spent hundreds of dollars on other brands... but nothing, and I mean nothing comes close to these boots. I knew when I opened them up that her feet would be toasty warm in these well constructed boots. I like them soo that I am going to get me a pair for next winter. Outstanding quality item. Thanks

bought some hard to find Sorel boots
February 10, 2009

Fast service with the best prices anywhere. I will make all my outdoor purchases here.

These are excellent snow and rain boots.
January 24, 2009

They run 1 size small. If you are a 6 order a 5. They feel very heavy upon first wear, but after 2-3 wears you get used to the weight. They are stylish, yet functional. A win-win.

Toasty feet and good traction
January 07, 2009

This is a great snow boot! I always seem to have cold feet, but with these boots my digits stay nice and warm. The sole provides good traction, even on solid ice and I can walk through wet slushy snow without my feet getting wet. The size seems fine. I normally wear a 7 and these 7's fit very well. Maybe a little bit big, but feel perfect with a thick pair of socks. Have bought a couple different pairs of snow boots in the past few years that really didn't do their job. Am so happy with these!

Durable
January 02, 2009

These boots live up to all of the wonderful reviews I've heard here and by word of mouth. They are warm, keep your feet dry, and are virtually indestructable. They do run a 1/2 size large, but with thick socks and leaving in the insulator boot, they will fit fine.

Quality Product
April 09, 2008

These boots are such a quality product. They are so soft and comfortable inside that I wore them around my house for two hours the night the arrived. Definitely worth the investment. I followed other recommendations and rounded down on the size. I normally wear a 7.5 and purchased a size 7 and they seem to fit well.

Perfect for northern winters
March 14, 2008

These boots keep my cold feet warm during the most frigid of winter conditions in Iowa. This winter was one of the worst in recent years, and these boots kept my feet warm and dry throughout.

Warm
February 25, 2008

These are great and warm for my wife. Thanks to previous reviews I knew that the boots come about 1/2 to 1 size to big, so we got a smaller pair and they are great.

THESE BOOTS ROCK
February 20, 2008

These are the best winter boots I have ever owned. As a Mainer, I should have bought them a long time ago for these harsh New England winters. Warm, Dry, Comfortable. Maybe run a little small but I had heard this and ordered down. As a typical 7 1/2, a 7 was perfect. Shipping was instantaneous and price was best on the web. Thank you Altrec and Sorel!!

Great boots
February 11, 2008

I received by boots and had to wait until we had some snow to actually try them out. I ordered a 6 and was nervous that the size was too big but they are just right with a thick pair of socks. I can't imagine my feet ever cold or wet again in a storm!

Love them
February 05, 2008

I love my boots. They are so warm and comfy. I can only recommend these. I usually use size 5 1/2, I can recommend to go a half size down instead of up.

Would only buy the best.......
January 28, 2008

So true you need to break them in like a good horse... keep your feet warm and dry all around very happy with my first pair of snow boots, would only buy Sorel's again

Excellent boot, excellent purchase
January 27, 2008

I live in Chicago and don't normally have to deal with massive snowfall, but, this year we've had more than our fair share. I have 2 pairs of Ugg boots and while they're great, I wanted something a bit sturdier. Additionally, we spend many weekends in the fall in Michigan, where the snow is heavy. The Sorel Caribou snow boots are great; they are warm, totally waterproof, and, comfortable. It needs to be pointed out, however, that they are heavier than what you may be used to, and for me they took some getting used to. After a few wearings, I've become comfortable in them. They are true to size, and if you plan on wearing socks, get your exact size.

AWESOME BOOTS!!! - But size is true!
January 18, 2008

I wear a size 7.5/8 shoe. I took the sizing advice suggested and recently I purchased a size 7 in the Sorel Caribou. I ended up returning it for an 8. I would suggest getting your true size, especially if you plan to wear thick wool socks with your boots. Other than that, these boots are wonderful! They keep my feet warm and dry for all day snow adventures!
