I just spent 2 hours at a local sports store trying on winter boots and the best advice I can give you is do not buy online unless you have tried them on and walked around a minute or two. Not only do sizes vary but the feel can not be seen or generalized by the price, but usually the very cheap will be that way for reasons.
I have the just purchased the Baffin Mountain, it is made in Canada and very warm and well made. The Sorel Caribou is not at all like the older ones, the rubber cracked on them and did not last a year, made in China and the leather is quite thin and the boots are not warm when it’s colder than -20 and your not moving
Sorel used to be the absolute best, and they were made in Canada. I wore them for 50 years. Then recently Columbia bought it, and moved manufacturing to Vietnam. The bean counters kept finding ways to shave off a bit of cost here and there. Quality has declined consistently over the last 6 years to the point that I would never recommend them.
Don't trust this review, people. My new Sorel Caribou boots are extremely thin and cheaply made.....my 1984 pair was great and my feet never got cold...but wearing these NEW VERSION boots nearly gave me frostbite over all my toes. They are markedly inferior quality to Sorel boots decades ago....soles are super thin and cold air and ground permeates the boot easily. Buy these....and your feet WILL GET COLD - EXTREMELY COLD -
Sorel's are pure, Chinese. Garbage. Wore 1 day & returned. Feet got cold after 20 or so minutes and stayed cold. These are NOT the Canadian made Sorel's but Chinese garbage with the Sorel name on it. Way to ruin a great name Columbia. Do not waste your money
I agree with this statement...see my review...these Sorel boots damn near cost me all my toes....thin and cheap...your toes will turn to ice in a matter of an hour or two.
When they were made in Canada they lasted for years. Ive since had to buy a new pair every winter and they split and crack now they are made in China or Vietnam. For $200 a pair they are JUnk
dont waste your money i had majority of these boots and i can tell you from exprience ....get the baffin....firstly made in canada (majority) and wayyyy better quality built into the boot....majority of these boots are made in china.....and dont last past 2 winters

Ice X H.H. & Marks the only boots with traction
Sorel were very good once.
They’re shabby and poorly built now.
The soles self destruct after a half season.
That’s because they are owned by Columbia now. Not Canada made anymore.
I'm so sorry to hear this , I was about to buy those because I need bigger size . I have a Baffin, it is excellent but I need a bigger size .
