Description of Sorel Men's Caribou II Boot

Your feet will stay warm and dry this winter in a pair of Sorel Caribou boots, a snow-stomping classic. Insulated to -40° and completely waterproof, these boots will shield you from the weather and provide a comfortable fit.
Sorel?s most versatile boot, the Caribou, offers tough protection from the elements, whether you?re on the job or enjoying leisure time outside. Its waterproof construction pairs with a traction-ready outsole for a weather-defying attitude. Its cozy Sherpa Pile? cuff will keep wet out and warmth in, while a removable felt inner boot adds cozy cushioning--a real comfort, even after day-long wear.

Sports reviews of Sorel Men's Caribou II Boot

Customer Review: My favorite winterboot
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars

It does have everything I want in a winter boot, its keeps the snow out really well and looks really good at the same time. I have looked everywhere I live for a boot like this but haven't found one. I'm really happy Sorel and Amazon could ship it all the way to europe, and so fast wow! Thank you.

Customer Review: good boots
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars

I have a pair of North Face pack boots that I purchased last year and they weren't very breathable so I decided to get the trusted Sorels and I couldn't be more pleased. They are even better than the pair I had in high school. if you need cold weather boots with good traction get these!

Customer Review: Best snow boot you can buy
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars

You can't get any better. These boots are fantastic for Toronto weather. Totally water, snow, and anything you can throw at them-proof, I love these boots. Try hard to get the right fit because that can make a difference. If these guys made cars I'd buy two of them. Awesome boot.

Customer Review: Probably your best choice for a warm basic snow boot
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars

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 there is not 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.

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 (the white tops look almost new) and spraying some Armorall (used to perk up rubber and plastic in cars) on the rubber bottoms keeps them looking great as well.
