Probably your best choice for a warm basic snow boot
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.

Sorel makes more versatile boots than the Caribou
I have a love-hate relationship with these boots. For one, I've had my pair for ten years, so any updates on the liner or sole have passed me by. They are rugged, last a long time, and really do keep your feet warm. My toes only have gotten cold with these when the temperatures are in the negative 15 range, and that may be because the liner is beginning to wear out. For the many days of warm feet, I am eternally grateful to Sorel. Also, they are so incredibly ugly that they're almost cool looking. When I'm stomping around town (Vermont) in these, I often look down and think, what the heck are those things attacking my feet??

The downsides...the Caribou are difficult to walk in and are no good for winter hiking of any kind because they are incredibly bulky and tend to twist your ankle as you walk. These boots feel like they create an unnecessary workout and are too large to fit into my snowshoes. If you have weak ankles or tendinitis, you will want to avoid these. Also, if you prefer more arch support and like to use inserts such as Superfeet in your shoes and boots, you will not be able to do that with the Caribou.

I just bought a pair of Sorel Snow Drifts and couldn't believe how easy to walk in and lightweight they are in comparison to the Caribou. I love Sorels for their warmth, but I think that they make many other boots that are better for getting around in than the clunky Caribous.

ordered the Caribou-Elderberry [5m].....my true size is 6 1/2 [running shoe 7]...after reading reviews on a few sites. 80% of the women reviewing said they ordered 1/2 to 1 full size smaller was best. And though i haven't had the chance to wear these in snow YET, the 5m DID in fact fit me perfectly - with my SmartWool PhD Ski Medium socks on!! Was snug but had room for my toes to wiggle around - and i have a wide foot where my toes are. the boot is bulky so if you go true to size......they'd definitely look HUGE on you. i think the trick is.....if you have a "fuller" foot [not in length but girth/width] in whatever size you fit, consider just going to the next SMALLER size [Sorel Caribou don't come in 1/2 sizes]...so if you're 6 1/2 go down to a 6............this will still give you LOTS of wiggle room and probably allow you to wear super thick socks. otherwise, if you've got an average to slender foot, might want to try a full size smaller................... Boot construction - well made....and they look so cute on.
