Sorel Caribou is repeatedly called out as running large by OutdoorGearLab, Switchback, and owner reports. Size down at least half a size for regular wool socks; some go a full size. The thick felt liner packs down, so an initially snug fit is intentional.

Sorel Caribou winter boots are commonly described as roomy — many people size down half a size from sneakers when wearing normal socks, while thick winter sock systems push back toward TTS. The removable felt liner compresses and is part of the fit equation; trying the boot with the liner you will actually use matters.
Width is generally generous for cold-weather footwear. Narrow feet may need an aftermarket insole for lockdown rather than jumping down two sizes.
Break-in is liner pack-out and slight upper softening. Waterproof shells do not stretch like fashion leather; length mistakes are harder to “wear out.â€
Versus other Sorel or UGG: different lasts — Caribou’s insulated volume is its own problem. Do not assume UGG TTS maps perfectly.
Sizing tips: decide sock thickness first. Between sizes for deep cold with liner + thick socks, lean larger; for milder use with thin socks, half down is a common try. Ensure toes are not jammed against the front when fully flexed walking.
