Awesome, light-weight, and warm winter shoes. I wore these on a particularly cold night in Breckenridge, CO and my feet felt toasty warm. They look pretty good too! As others have mentioned, the laces are a bit inconvenient, but that's the only negative thing I have to say so far.

Great boots. Warm, comfortable, stylish. Seem to be waterproof as well.

I have an older pair of North Face boots that I absolutely love because they're fashionable, warm and waterproof. I felt I needed a newer pair as the older ones didn't feel quite as warm (I've had them for many years). The new pair fits well and is nice looking. The biggest difference is these boots need to be laced which I find a bit inconvenient. If they're just as warm as my first pair, I'll be happy. North Face knows how to make a great waterproof boot that looks good and is comfortable.

Cute, roomy for thick socks. Do not know if they are warm yet. It's August in FL so I haven't had a chance to use them yet.

These are fantastic. I added an insert for extra arch support because I have high arches, and I can wear them all day. I like them so much that I have even worn them in the office on snowy days because they are not too clunky. I get lots of compliments on them, actually. They do take a minute to put on and off since they are lace-up.

These are the best! I get compliments every time I wear them. I've played in the snow and never had a wet or cold foot. I'm worn these in just below zero temps and my feet were toasty! Best boots for the price!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE these boots! Not clunky, feels like a gym shoe, so comfortable! And very warm! I wear them sledding, skiing to the office and to shovel. The perfect boot.

I LOVE these boots! I had sorrels which were never comfortable on me ever. I have pretty narrow feet and these are perfect! Super comfortable and warm! We were out in cold weather (30s) for hours the day after I got these and I was 100% warm and comfortable. Plus as far as warm boots go these are cute!

1)I LOVED them!
and I feel blessed for Zappos.com because of our return policy.
I wears a size 11 and it is very hard to find a shoe online but with Zappos's return policy she can purchase online and if they do not fit, she can return with no problem.

These boots are so cute! I have them in grey, and they get lots of compliments, even from guys! They kind of resemble a tennis shoe, erring on the side of sporty, and are lightweight. But, I probably would not recommend them in extremely cold places (i.e. Salt Lake City), because even though there is a lining, they are relatively thin. But for a chilly California evening, they're perfect!

This seems to be just what I have been looking for after trying countless pairs through Zappos and other retailers since the old pair of waterproof zip-upRieker boots I had are falling apart (and their updated versions were not as nice) at last.These are stylish and lightweight but still waterproof and seem comfortable (at least as far as I can tell walking around the house) and warm enough. Even though they are lace-up, it seems that I can simply loosen the top three rungs or so to get them on and off quickly. The true test will come when snow falls--will it withstand long intervals of cold and wet weather and hold up for miles of city walking?

Great boot and perfect for the climate I live in - southern Sweden - where it's cold but rains a great deal. The boots are surprisingly lightweight but warm and waterproof. I generally wear a size 6 which wasn't available when I ordered so I went for a size 7. They are just slightly roomy so a 6.5 probably would've been perfect. An extra pair of socks make up the difference. My favorite thing about Zappos - when I'm in the States for a short visit, I can order three or four pairs of footwear, get them in just a couple days, try them on at my parent's house, choose the pair that's best for me and return the rest with free shipping both ways. My husband was so impressed with this service that he ordered two pairs of shoes and kept them both!

The boots are amazing. They're incredibly warm, totally waterproof, and have great traction. The boots are also very light in weight and are not bulky like a lot of other snow boots.

Love these boots! They are very comfortable and not as large and clunky as other winter boots. Very good traction and warm, yet I was able to wear them inside all day at work and my feet weren't overheating. I wear a size 10 and my feet are wide, and though these looked narrow, they fit very well. I get lots of compliments on them. I had purchased a different brand of boots first but did not really like them, returned them once I found these. These were more expensive but worth the price since I will definitely wear them more. Very cute with jeans tucked into them.

I believe when I buy a north face product, I not only buy the name, but quality. it is too early to say if the quality is up to par, but the size stinks... if you are a 9 order a 10... way too small.

I think that your boots are excellent I have been sharing on my Facebook page, I love North Face page, I have not purchased yet as I have not worked in three years, but soon I hope to be working, and when I do I will purchase the boots, and then the coat.

I actually ordered two different North Face boots in the same size, and almost sent them both back because at first I could not get my foot into either of them. Which had to do with on this boot the shape of the foot portion from the ankle down - especially formed for water proofing I believe - making it feel hard at first.
However, after working hard to adjust lacings, the one with front lacing allowed and seemed to fit okay, though hard.
I am new to needing snow boots for a long winter and having given away a pair of good Merels that hurt me three winter vacations, I decided to ask advice from my daughter. Because once my foot was in this hard shell made me wonder if this boot would be too small. But I have a narrow foot, always hard too fit, and wider calves, and once in it seemed to fit well. At her suggestion, I took my time over a few days to see if it just needed to adjust to my feet, or if I would be better with a bigger size. She warned me to not run to get a bigger size, as these may quickly stretch. Sure enough, they have already, and are pretty comfy.
Very stylish - though I really loved the look even more on the North Face Jozie Purna in teal with lacing more in the styling wrapping around the front, then more hidden ties back and side, but it would not fold down to where it would allow my foot in at all!
Both boots have the same bottom form, which has good traction but is light compared to some very heavy more trekking boots out there.
I am feeling for me this will still need a fleecy insole added for cozier warmth, The top is furry, and can fold down for a shorter boot with a big furry top showing. When the boot is up, this furry part hugs the calf - about 6 inches or more of this. So it is warm. It definitely is waterproof. It has not snowed, but I wore them in the rain. Stayed very clean and dry.
I got the white and grey model. Very happy so far.
If this changes after winter snows come, I will report back.

At first these weren't available in my size, so I ordered a half size up. I wasn't happy with how much larger they felt, so I returned them and was lucky enough to find they had restocked my original size. I ordered my actual size a few days ago and I'm wearing them right now! The fur detailing is incredibly soft, and they look and feel like they're more weather resistant than most other boots out there.

This boot is cute, but the North Face Shellista is much more comfortable.

These boots are NOT WARM! ???? I bought these boots for a winter trip to Park City, Utah just to walk around town in snow/rain. The first thing I noticed is they are a little rigid around ankles, causing discomfort where boot base rubs on underside of my ankle bone. The other factor is my feet were cold. Today is 20° and snowing in Pacific Northwest, even just riding around and getting in and out of the car my feet are cold. I don't know hat I would want to wear these out sledding or hiking in snow for any length of time. ?? They are waterproof and I like the way they look, they fit over jeans or under snow pants well and have extra long laces that allow for double knotting. They clean easily and have a lot of stretch and comfort above ankle up to the fir line trim and they can be cinched up tight on my thin calves. But make no mistake, these Northface boots are a fashion accessory more than they are a utilitarian winter boot.

These are my new favorite books. After slipping and falling in my Uggs I wanted something with actual traction on the bottom. I wore them when it was -14 degrees last week and my feet never once were cold (unlike the rest of me!). The traction is great, I can wear them all day and my feet don't hurt and aren't overheated. Perfect winter boot.

The boots were super cute but I think they run big. I usually wear a 5 to 5.5 so I ordered a 5.5 and they were huge. They were very comfortable and stylish though!

Was looking for a replacement for my regular Nuptse boots. I usually wear a size 10, so the Sorrel boots were out, since they are just too huge and was looking for something with a slimmer profile and lightweight. There are comfortable, easy to get on/off and do not make my feet look any bigger than they already are. :) I had to size up to an 11 - could have gotten away with a 10.5, but wanted them roomy enough for thicker socks. I take a star off because I don't think they are all that warm. I just need them for errands around town and when the snow hits, so not too much of an issue, but this may be a factor for others. Also think they would use a little more support, but otherwise very happy with the purchase.

Love these. Super cute, comfortable, and lightweight. That being said this is probably not going to keep my feet warm below 20F.

These were not my first choice but the only thing I could find in my size that I liked at all. And at that, I had to go a half size up, which makes them feel big. They also seem to run wide. They're great looking boots, but as I found out the hard way, very slick on wet tile floors, (like the grocery store and post office). They're also difficult to get on, even completely unlaced, so I won't/don't wear them as much as I'd like to...just too much trouble. For that same reason, I can't say how warm they are since I've not worn them enough to really know.
