Outdoor Time went so far as to lay out a geographic map for the Caribou’s best environment: “If you live below the Ohio River, these are probably too warm unless you are in the high mountains. Ideal as an around the house, doing your chores snow boot, we wouldn't consider taking it on a long hike or for snowshoeing, but it is warm, weather-resistant and easy to use, making it a perennial favorite.” “We aren't crazy about the sloppy fit of this boot - our feet swam around inside the boot if we weren't wearing big thick socks. While they loved the warmth and the “robust waterproofness,” they weren’t thrilled at the looseness of fit.
Outdoor Gear Lab scored the Caribous high on warmth (9/10) and water resistance (10/10!). Travel & Leisure quoted one Caribou-lover that says it all: “If you want serious snow boots for all day in the cold, these are the ones.” If that doesn’t convince you that these boots are worth it, we don’t know what will. These boots have also earned a spot on their first-ever Editor’s Choice List in 2010 of the 51 things they’ve come to love over the previous 33 years. Outside Online has a long list of reasons why we keep coming back to the Sorel Caribous as our favorites - from placing it on lists like The Most Influential Gear of All Time and “The Gear You Need to Get Your Car Out of the Snow”.

They’re so beloved that they are also the Winner of our Women’s Winter Boot for Extreme Cold. I’ve never seen a winter without him wearing those boot - from New York to Colorado to Maine! In fact, many reviewers brought up family members having owned these boots for 15+ years, and still going strong. My father has owned his pair of Sorel Caribous since 1992. While known for their clunky-chore-boot charm, the Caribous have been keeping our toes ultra- toasty and feet dry in an 80 year spree with no end in sight. The Sorel Caribou boots have been kicking winter’s butt since the 1960s. What we didn’t like: weight, doesn’t feel as snug due to amount of insulation What we liked: long-term durability, high quality construction, insulation suited for extreme cold, grip, range of sizes available Insulation: Removable 9 mm washable felt inner boot with snow cuff The Best Men’s Winter Boot: Sorel Caribou Salomon X Ultra 4 Mid Winter Thinsulate Waterproof Timberland 6 Inch Premium Waterproof Boot Merrell Thermo Chill Mid Shell Waterproof None (insulated version has polymeric foam) Thermal reflective lining, 200 g insulation
