Reviews
Despite the fact that this is a brand from Canada, it is well known to the Russian consumer. They buy his shoes both for active city life and for winter fishing or hunting.
Reviews for everyday models, as well as for skiing and snowboarding, are mostly positive. They relate to the comfort in wearing and fastening, since the boots are not only easy to take off and put on, they also do not let the cold through. The shoes provide the necessary warmth, while sitting comfortably on the foot thanks to the soft insulation inside. It can last for several years, which is convenient for those who do not like to be updated every season.
Reviews of specialized models are mixed. As for heat regulation, the buyers are satisfied with everything - the footwear copes with keeping warm and does not allow the fishermen's feet to freeze. However, the quality of the seams leaves much to be desired, since with active use the boots soon begin to let moisture through. Customers note the slippery outsole of the Caribou. Over time, some of the boots have microcracks at the folds.
