Cold-Weather Protection for Subzero Temperatures

Whether you're working or playing in cold winter weather, you'll appreciate the mix of heavy-duty materials that make the Caribou boot a long-standing customer favorite. The Caribou boot has a nubuck leather upper and handcrafted vulcanized rubber shell, both seam-sealed for reliable performance.

Underfoot, a thick rubber midsole and a 2.5-millimeter bonded felt frost plug work together to insulate the boot from the cold ground, while the SOREL AeroTrac non-loading outsole provides reliable traction, even on icy, snowy surfaces.

Lightweight and Flexible for Comfort

Along with incredible cold-weather protection, the Caribou offers both style and comfort. Natural rubber compounds maintain flexibility and traction even in extremely cold conditions, while a molded EVA midsole provides lightweight cushioning and added insulation. A Sherpa pile snow cuff lends another layer of warmth and a stylish accent.

4.0 out of 5 stars Probably your best choice for a warm basic snow boot, October 10, 2007

These 10" high winter boots set the standard for basic cold weather boots in snowy conditions. They're probably the boot most commonly worn by locals in snowy Western mountain towns.

But be advised they do not have a lot of lateral stability in the sole of the boot. That is to say, the rubber bottoms tend to twist sideways making them, in my opinion, unsuitable for anything other around town use and possibly some work situations. The twisting motion makes traveling off beaten paths, especially climbing hills or side hilling, more difficult and tiring. My seven year old (Canadian made) Sorel Caribou models have somewhat thicker and probably more water resistant leather uppers, but the current (Chinese made) Sorels seem to have more advanced combination synthetic and wool felt liners and apparently much-needed additional underfoot insulation.

These boots have a cool look with the faux shearling collars but their relatively modest height means you will need to wear gaiters to keep out snow if you leave beaten paths. Felt lined pacs are typically the warmest boots for the bucks and the liners can be taken out to dry. I've washed my Sorel liners on gentle cycle using wool-friendly soap with excellent results and spraying some Armorall (used to perk up rubber and plastic in cars) on the rubber bottoms keeps them looking great as well.

Recommended to anyone who wants a warm, foolproof, traditional looking boot to wear in around-town or to cold weather outdoor events, keep in the car for emergencies and possibly wear to work or riding snow machines in really cold weather.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not waterproof, March 24, 2009

By 

niekas (Lithuania) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Sorel Men's Caribou Boot (Shoes)

I love the way they look. They are bulky and heavy, but its what winter boot should be. What i'm really disappointed is that they are not waterproof. In a slushy conditions water gets in and liner becomes damp. Seams are not sealed properly. I would return them back, but these boots have been shipped to europe as a gift. It would be too expensive to ship them back.
Update. I contacted Sorel and they sent me new pair, but the new pair leaks even worse than the first one.

i recently bought this pair of boots, the delivery was on time, the boot are good. Only bad thing was the bottom part of the boot is too soft and when step on a hard surface or a corner it hurts, other than that its a good boot.
