Are the Sorel Caribou boots fully waterproof?

Yes. The handcrafted vulcanized rubber shell is waterproof, and the seam-sealed construction keeps water out in slush and wet snow. The removable liner is not meant to be worn without the shell outdoors.

They use a 9mm ThermoPlus removable inner boot, which suits below-freezing winter days. They are not rated for extreme expedition cold, so pair them with wool socks in deep cold.

Do they run true to size?

Most buyers take their usual size, but the bulky shell and thick liner leave little room for very thick socks. Try them with the socks you plan to wear.

Can I replace the liner?

Yes. The ThermoPlus inner boot is removable, so you can pull it out to dry or replace it. Seat it fully in the shell to avoid bunching.

Are they good for ice?

The aero-trac lug outsole grips packed snow and icy sidewalks well. For glare ice, Sorel lists use with crampons, which are not included.
