Caribou Boot
Elephants never forget, reindeer never get lost, and caribou never get cold, which inspired Sorel to create the Youth Caribou Kids' Boot. It won't make your rugrats remember to shut the door or come inside by dinnertime, but the waterproof nubuck leather upper, fully taped seams, and ThermoPlus felt inner boot will keep their feet warm and dry when they're terrorizing the sledding hill or trying to build the world's biggest snowman. The soft Sherpa Pile snow cuff collects snow to keep it from falling into the boot, and the AeroTrac outsole sticks to snow like gum to the bottom of a school chair. If you can believe it, the Caribou is rated all the way down to -40 degrees, too, so you don't have to feel bad about turning off the TV and kicking them outside into the snow for the afternoon.

Love
Classic greatness. Changed the laces to my kid’s (7 yo boy) favorite color, and now he thinks they’re the best boots ever.

Amazing quality, worth the price
Love these boots!! The quality is absolutely outstanding and my teen with tiny feet loves how "cool" they look. She also feels very sturdy in them. Totally worth the price.

Quality
Quality, sturdy boots that will last. Got this for my daughter, but I plan on having my other children (son included) use it when she grows out (they grow in) of it. I have the adult version boot and thats why I got this boot for my child because I know it's quality, it will work well, keep their feet warm and dry, and it will last.

He says there great
Bought these for my son, so far no complaints from him . He's worn them probably 10 times for various activities, shoveling snow, sliding & Snow mobiling with friends. When I ask him how they worked, his reply is always feet warm and dry.

Happy feet!
These boots are incredibly warm, waterproof and durable. This is the second size we have purchased for our son because we are so pleased with them. Excellent for winter hiking and snowshoeing, too. I anticipate purchasing the next size up as foot continues to grow!

Great boots for kids.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great boots for kids. This is our fifth pair of the same boot. The kids keep growing but they always want the same pair of Sorel boots from last year. They’re warm, waterproof and look great.

Great quality boot but run small
I got this boot for myself, I am around 5 ft and 100 lbs and normally wear a kids 3. I ordered the 3 and it does fit, but it’s a bit snug. Especially when I wear thick socks for the snow. In comparison I also got the kids size 4 to see if they were better. The 4’s were unfortunately too big even with extra thick socks. I’m sticking with the 3’s and hoping they will stretch out as I wear them more. I’m very pleased about the quality of the boots! They are heavy duty and sturdy. I feel like they’ll hold up well in the snow. Plus they look cute.

Best boots for kids
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love these boots for my son. He said they’re comfortable and keep his feet warm. Our sorels always cycle through 2 children and usually last 4 years and still look awesome!

Great for winter (but heavy)
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These boots have been worn by a small footed adult for 2 winters now. They are super durable and keep feet cozy in New England winter weather. I purchased these to wear during a daily 30 min (each way) walking commute to work in snow and ice. They are great - they are the only shoes I feel confident in wearing while walking on black ice. But, they are a bit overkill on days where it's cold but no new snow has fallen because of how heavy they are. While I would buy these again, I would also buy slightly lighter weight Sorels to get me through 40 degree weather days and save these for the super cold, snowy and icy days. These are definitely not shoes one could wear all day because of the weight.
