Our take on the Men's Caribou Boot

The Sorel Caribou is the original pac boot: a waterproof nubuck leather upper over a handcrafted vulcanized rubber shell, with a removable 9mm recycled felt inner boot and a Sherpa Pile snow cuff. Sorel rates it to -40°F, so it is built for deep snow, slush and long cold stretches outdoors rather than city sidewalks. It is a heavy, stiff boot with a tall 9 1/4-inch shaft, and owners accept that bulk as the price of real warmth and dry feet. Against lighter winter boots it trades walkability for durability and weather protection; against modern insulated hiking-style boots it is warmer but far less nimble.

What reviewers say

Owners treat the Caribou as a proven winter workhorse: warm, genuinely waterproof and tough. The recurring complaints are weight, stiffness and liners that wear out after a few seasons.

What people mention
  • WarmthPraisedOwners say feet stay warm through long stretches below freezing, matching the -40°F rating.
  • WaterproofingPraisedSeam-sealed leather and the rubber shell keep slush and wet snow out in real use.
  • WeightCriticisedReviewers call the boot heavy and tiring for long walks or all-day wear.
  • StiffnessMixedThe leather and shell feel rigid at first and need a break-in before they flex.
  • Liner durabilityCriticisedThe felt inner boot packs down and wears through after a few seasons, though it can be replaced.
  • Outsole gripPraisedThe aero-trac lug pattern sheds snow and holds traction on packed snow and ice.

Questions and answers

Is the Caribou really waterproof?
Yes. The nubuck leather upper is seam-sealed and sits on a vulcanized rubber shell, so water does not get through in slush or standing snow.
How warm is it?
Sorel rates it to -40°F. The removable 9mm felt inner boot plus a 2.5mm felt frost plug underfoot provide the insulation.
Can I replace the liner?
Yes. The ThermoPlus felt inner boot is removable and washable, and replacement liners are sold separately.
How does it fit?
It is a bulky, tall boot with a 9 1/4-inch shaft. Most buyers wear their normal size, but the stiff leather needs break-in time.
Is it good for walking or commuting?
Not really. It is heavy and stiff, so it suits snow, shoveling and outdoor work better than long walks or driving.
How does it compare with the Sorel Glacier?
The Glacier is even warmer and bulkier, built for extreme cold. The Caribou is the more versatile classic for everyday deep-winter use.
Where is the Men's Caribou Boot cheapest?
At Sports Basement, for $250.00, as of our latest check.
What do buyers say about the Men's Caribou Boot?
Rated 4.8 out of 5 from 5 ratings.
