I just got a new pair of Sorel Caribous and I am happy to report that they are still the killer boot they once were. I must have picked up my first pair of Caribous what, 25 years ago, thinking it was the best looking, best performing option on the market. Ditto today. Winter boot designers often go off the deep end with their designs. I don’t want a boot that makes me look like a roughneck from a Manitoba oil field, nor do I want something that fits like a glove. Comfortable pac boots with removable liners are a winter staple in the north; being able to take out the liners means you can dry them after a day’s wear or rotate in a dry pair. Warm to some ridiculous temperature, it just isn’t an issue for most of us, especially here in the northwest. The Caribou has natural rubber bottoms, modestly tall 10” waterproof Nubuck leather uppers that deal with low snow loads without gaiters, high traction soles, sealed seams, and these newer Chinese made units have added a thin 2.5mm layer of insulation to the sole. There is a ruff of faux shearling around the top that helps seal out snow and drafts.
If you go to any snowy ski town in the Rockies you’ll see these everywhere, including the night clubs. They’re hip, comfortable, effective and relatively affordable. I wear Uggs half the year, then slip into my ‘Bous when the snow flies!
Only knock is lack of lateral support. They are not a performance boot and your foot will slip around on uneven terrain. Best relegated to around town, around ranch use. Park them by the front door; they slip easily on and off.MRP: $119.95
