The coldest place in France. Record low is -39°c (about -39 F too). Great boots in the coldest part of France. I used mine for the last three winter skiing holidays. Put these boots on before and after skiing. They are great. Keep your feet dry and warm.
I would recommend this product.

Just recieved my new Caribou's and these are high quality boots! They look and feel great! I ordered my normal size (11) and the wool liner fits perfect. The boot is a little large which is most likely by design. As a side note, shipping on these was extremely fast (1 business day from the order date). Just wanted to give a nod to the customer service level. Our household will be buying more from Sorel in the very near future!
I would recommend this product.

I bought these to replace my 19 year old, Canadian made Caribous, which were no longer warm as the liners were worn out. These fit the same, though they are still large. I bought size 8 both times, but I wear size 9-1/2 in every other pair of shoes I own.
I like the new(er) AeroTrack outsold and the wool inner layer on the liner. My sole criticism would be of the elastic gusset on the liner, which goes all the way to the top. While it makes the boots very secure when worn, it also makes them difficult to remove. The liner frequently comes out of the boot and must be reinstalled. This could be easily modified or customized, however.
I would recommend this product.

Hello,
I'd like to offer a suggestion to all those who are concerned with fit since a number of reviewers have indicated that the liner is quite tight. Unlike a Maine Hunting Boot which is oversized to accommodate a heavy wool sock. Sorel's fit best if you use, for example, a thin Cool-Max hockey sock. Trust me, I am a true size 11 and wear a Reebok size 9.5 ice skate and that fit is snug but not overly tight. So after trying a normal cotton sock with a pair of Caribou boots, size 11, in which just getting my foot into the boot was a struggle, I decided to try a Cool Max hockey sock.... Beautiful to insert my foot, nice snugness, and with the Sorel liner there is no need to supplement with a cotton or wool sock.
Hope this helps....

have had a pair of sorels for over 25 years.just got a new pair of caribou wool . people are wrong with what they are saying about ordering a size smaller.1st order your size..yes they are big.2nd when wearing these boots and when breaking them in socks are optional. never have worn socks with my first pair.again as far as being big THEY ARE WINTER BOOTS..have worn mine at minus-15 degrees .the linings are tight but thats how they can keep the minus -40 rating and your feet won't be exposed to the weather.just order your normal size you will never have cold feet again
I would recommend this product.

After just over a year, the rubber cracked in similar locations on both boots (just above the large and little toe areas). These cracks have turned into holes, rendering the boots useless for winter wear. In short, you are paying quite a bit of money for poor materials and barely a season's worth of use.
I do not recommend this product.

Got this for a gift. Tried them on and was concerned that they were a little large, wore a thick pair of socks and they were perfect for my first snowmobile trip of the season. Not great for long hikes due to the roominess of the boot but for ice fishing and snowmobiling they were great.
I would recommend this product.

I ordered these boots for my husband, who wears a size 10. the liner of the boot was cut so small and tight especially at the ankle he couldn't get his foot into it. I wear a ladies size 9 had a problem getting the liner on and then when I put on the boot, I had to have my husband pull them off, much like when you have on a knee-high leather riding boot.
Sorry but the boots are are their way back to you.

The liner inside this boot fits snug, so DONT order a size smaller or it will be TOO small, and the liner will stretch and rip.
The boots outer shell fits kinda big, which is misleading to people and is why they go to smaller sizes than normal, but thats just the style of boot this is, so dont listen to people on here who say go up or down a size like I did, order your NORMAL shoe size and save the headache.
They don't just slip on easy either, thats BS, even in your right size, with the liner its a bit tricky to get em on. People that say they kick them on and off have chosen sloppy oversized boots. Trust me. Which is why I also read complaints that they are too heavy and bulky! Yea, they would be when they are 2 sizes too big for your foot! DUH
I would recommend this product.

These types of boots DO fit snugly; its by design.
I've had a pair of these now for about 40 years and they still fit snugly...that's for safety and warmth. Don't treat the boot as if it's a normal boot; it's a special outer layer. The warmth comes from the felt liner and impervious outer shell.

i just received my first pair of SORELS two weeks ago! my aunt who used to live in fairbanks recommended the wool liners for my first winter in fairbanks and in alaska. i needed a pair of warm waterproof boots that i can wear while mushing siberian huskies around fairbanks and denali national park. i also needed a boot for running errands in fairbanks when it hits -20F -30F -40F. i recommend putting SUPERFEET insoles inside the wool liners for more shock absorption and more heel support (i use SUPERFEET religiously in my other boots and running shoes). i bought my SORELS on sorel.com after sizing my feet at a local store that didn't carry the wool liner CARIBOUS btw.
I would recommend this product.

I recently purchased the Caribou Wool Boot for deer hunting and general winter use. I could not be more happy with my decision. These are simply the best boot made! My last pair (also the Caribou model) lasted 15 years. I use these boots for everything from hunting to plowing the driveway. As you know, Minnesota can be cold in the winter. These boots will stand the test of time. Great product. Thank you!

I had some boots from another company that were snow boots, they just don't keep my fet dry. These boots made by Sorel are top of the line, warm and will surely keep my feet dry when the big snows come soon enough....
I would recommend this product.
