I really wanted these to work. I've always been a North face boot fan. Over the years though I do believe the quality has gone down. The material on the inside is not the same as it was 15 years ago but that's a given.
These are some really nice looking boots.
I'm a size 8 and 1/2 so I got nine the first time too small.
I returned them and reordered immediately for a nine and a half.
Again too small. They almost felt like the first size.
I'm not going to go through this again.
I'm an 8 and 1/2 I don't think I should wear a size 10 boot.
They run very very small and they seem a little bit hard.
Like they're not going to be comfortable.
Best of luck to anyone else trying these boots.
Again I really wanted them to work because I love this style!!!

These boots kept my feet dry and warm during a Buffalo Bills football game in January. Enough said.

This is a very nice cold weather and snow boot. However, it runs small. I wear a 9.5 in a boot and ordered a 10, which was still too small, even with a lgihtweight sock. I wear a size 9 in regular shoes.

Great boots. Stylish, waterproof and warm. Excellent choice for all the snow we've been getting in the north east!

I love these boots. They are comfortable and cute. I was nervous about getting white boots, but any kind of little scrape you get on it they wipe away easily with a cloth. I did have to get a size and a half up normally an 8 1/2 and I had to get a 10 so they run really small.

This boot is so warm and comfortable, but please buy it in half a size or a whole size bigger. The compression in the area of your toes/the outwards heel causes it to be/feel smaller, so buy a bigger size

These boots are great! Super warm and just the right height, so snow doens't go down the leg in higher snow conditions. The color is great and if you get a mark on them they wipe right off. I would say go up 1 to 2 sizes bigger. I am normally a 8.5 and have to get a 10! so THEY RUN SMALL!! but I love them.

I bought these for my wife. She loves them. They are very comfortable, warm and stylish. I would recommend going up 1 size especially if you want to wear thicker winter socks. They can feel a little tight around the foot. These go great with jeans or leggings.

Super warm and good-looking boot. I ordered a few to try on in person and I liked how these were a little chunkier.
I bought a size up because I was hoping to wear these with thick socks. Even in thin socks they were much too tight. Not front to back (I still had heel and toe room) but the foot section itself. The reason is that there is padding/thermal break material not just on the bottom of the boot but up and around your whole foot. This padding creates warmth but also makes the fit tight, even in my thin 'office' socks. I walked around in them at home hoping that it would get better but my feet just kept feeling pinched. Maybe if they made even bigger sizes (I maxed out at size 11)? But again front to back was not the problem, rather the surrounding padding impinging on the foot.

These boots were warm and comfortable for my granddaughter's trip to Quebec for Dog sledding, tubing and outdoor adventures in frigid temperatures! Very satisfied!

These are an exact true to size fit with a tiny snug fit. I usually am a 7.5 and would I have been in a store, I would have gone for the 8. So, if you want that tiny bit of extra room, go up a half size.

Love these boots easy to remove without untying to avoid tracking snow through the house.

The boot is very stiff. From the photo, I thought the dark rubberized bottom would be just a bit more flexible, but it feels more like hard plastic and does not give at all. I can't imagine how I would be able to walk in these -- they are so stiff. The insulation is quite thick, so I would recommend buying a half of full size larger, even if you plan to wear average-thickness socks.
