Full details

These boots offer a perfect balance of heritage style and modern technical features, providing 200g of insulation and a GORE-TEX waterproof membrane to keep feet warm and dry in snowy or slushy environments. While they excel in cold weather performance, potential users should note that the leather construction requires regular maintenance to retain its waterproof integrity over time.

FAQs
Are these boots fully waterproof?
Yes, they feature a GORE-TEX membrane and seam-sealed leather construction to block water.
Are these boots suitable for extreme sub-zero temperatures?
They feature 200g of insulation, which is suitable for standard winter conditions; for extreme expeditions, you may require additional thermal layering.
How do I clean the leather upper?
Use a soft, damp cloth with a mild soap solution. Allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources.
Can I replace the footbed?
Yes, the EVA footbed is designed to be removable if you wish to swap it for a custom orthotic.
Does the leather need special treatment?
Applying a high-quality leather conditioner periodically helps prevent the leather from drying out and maintains its water resistance.
What is the primary difference from the original Caribou boot?
The Horizon series incorporates modern GORE-TEX technology and updated hardware for a more technical, contemporary performance.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff upon first wear
Leather requires a break-in period; wear them for short intervals around the house with thick socks to soften the material.
Water leaking into the boot
Check for cracks in the leather or damage to the seam sealing; apply a leather conditioner or professional water-repellent treatment to restore the barrier.
Slippery grip on certain surfaces
Ensure the lugs are free of packed mud or debris, as the Vibram tread performs best when the patterns are clean.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best fit, ensure you wear the type of socks you intend to use with these boots during your initial fitting to account for the insulation thickness. To care for your Sorel Caribou Horizon boots, remove debris after each use. If the leather becomes dirty, wipe it down with a damp cloth and mild soap. To maintain the waterproof properties of the leather, apply a leather-safe water-repellent conditioner once or twice per season, especially after heavy exposure to road salt or slush, as salt can dry out and crack the leather surface.
