Sorel Caribou Boot

[SL1]

I grew up using sorels in the snow. Still have the high expedition for late elk seasons that I bought in the 80’s. Great boot for cold, snow as long as your not overly active. Down side in the drier areas are the fairly light rubber on the lowers. Cactus and thorns will go through the rubbers. Definitely not a hiking boot as far as I’m concerned as my feet will sweat when actively hiking and climbing. They are great for passive cold weather fun. As are other like boots.

I’ll have to check out the kenetrek boots they look well put together.

For a basic cold weather/snow boot they are good. If you are doing allot of activity where footing is critical I did not care for them as they did not provide the support I was looking for.

Owned by a Portland Or . company so yes communist owners
Hard to find any thing China doesn’t have a finger in the pie

Sorel was bought out a few years ago by Columbia Sportswear (don't think they are communist) .......Columbia Sportswear Company is an American company that manufactures and distributes outerwear, sportswear, and footwear, as well as headgear, camping equipment, ski apparel, and outerwear accessories . It was founded in 1938 by Paul Lamfrom, the father of current chairperson Gert Boyle.


I've owned a pair of Caribous since the early 80's. Great boot for heavy snow and low movement outings. They are heavy and clunky, so hiking with them is a chore. I usually put on a fresh coat of snow seal each year to keep the leather soft and pliable.

One of the best boots out there. I would say best but there is no way I can prove it. I also wear the Kenetrek Mountain Extreme boots for hunting. They are made for extreme mountain hunting, like Bighorn Sheep hunting etc., not sitting in a blind. Great boots!
