Purchased in 2020, the boot has fully come apart with cracks on all sides of the boot at flection points now in 2025. I had hoped to have these boots for 20+ years, similar to my parents. Upon some research it looks like when Columbia bought Sorel in 2000, the designs stayed the same but the rubber formulas would have likely changed. For whatever reason, profit or environmental, one can not get the same lasting boots of the 80s from Sorel today. I wont be repurchasing, but looking for a longer lasting option at this price point.

My 30-year-old pair of Sorel Caribou boots finally gave up the ghost and needed to be replaced. My old Canadian-made boots, with real wool felt liners were great, even in Northern Illinois occasional -20-degree weather. (I did have to replace the liner about 15 years ago but could still find wool replacement.) The new Vietnamese-made boots look and feel pretty much the same, other than a completely different tread pattern - with bumps, rather than chunks. The new boots fit perfectly and feel good walking, both in snow and on pavement. They have been quite comfortable in the +20 degree temperature we had this week in Maryland, and my micro-spikes fit the same as the old ones. I don't expect to be in sub-zero temps anytime soon, but I will be interested to see how the synthetic liner compares for warmth and durability over the long haul. With the first week's use, they appear to be really excellent winter boots.

I love these boots. I am replacing a pair that no longer fit. They are great.

I love my new Sorels. My last pair lasted 47 years and actually are still good, so you can't beat the value. They are stylish and warm which is great. I took off a star because they are a bit like moon boots. Great for walking on snow or ice, but not great on pavement.
