Customer Reviews The North Face Chilkat 400

Like the others who have commented, I ordered one and a half sizes larger than usual, but one boot is still too small. Returning and ordering an even bigger size. I will not be defeated!

These boots are well made. My feet stay warm but they do not sweat. They have a supportive ankle, are easy on/off, work well with snow shoes, and are comfortable to wear. The shoe laces are not as long as you would except them to be (almost too short), I bought a size 10½, the left boot fit perfectly and the right did not. I then purchased an 11½; the left foot now has extra room for thick socks. The right boot felt okay, so I put my hand into both of them. I believe the problem is the insulation at the toe; the seam is short, I felt space between the insulation and the end of the boot therefore causing a snug feel. After wearing them for a day the right boot loosened up and now feels great. Go for at least one size larger!

After reading all the comments about the sizing being off, I decided to order a full size larger than my usual size. Well... that wasn't enough, so I returned them and ordered 2 full sizes larger than my normal size. I am an 11D exactly on the brannock device, but needed a 13 in these boots. Now that I have a pair that fits, it is clear that they are really well made, and really sharp looking. I would give them 5 stars, but being off by 2 full sizes is a little irritating. Zappos is awesome as always!

I have a wide foot for a woman so frequently order mens boots. I typically wear a 8.5 in womens so ordered a 7.5 in the mens, a half size larger than usual. This show was at least a full size too small! I'd recommend ordering a full size larger if not a size and a half. It was a great boot and I like the styling...too bad it didn't fit. Not even close.

I want to love these boots but I can't. Went through 3 sizes because reviewers (correctly) said it ran small... I ordered a size and a half larger than my usual size and, while the toe is plenty long, the toe box is short and compact. Just super uncomfortable. Shame, they feel warm and solid.

Firstly, let me say I really wanted to love this boot. I need a pair of boots that will keep my feet warm in very cold environments. This is not that boot. I wear a size 8.5 shoe, D width. Based on reviews, I ordered a full size larger (9.5). Sadly, they are way too tight, even with a light weight dress sock! There's no way any other sock will fit. After cramming my feet into these boots, they instantly hurt. They are squeezed tight on the sides, and feel a bit short as well. Wearing them for less than 30 minutes, in my warm house, my feet were cold (because of the pressure) and in pain. As far as the physical appearance, they are a good looking boot. But I was expecting them to be very large in order to accommodate the amount of insulation. That is not the case. I think the designers of this boot made the outside to size, then filled the inside with insulation, reducing the available space for your foot, thus the tight fit. I'm not paying $150 for an uncomfortable boot, no matter how good they look. I am not going to try a size 10, I'm just returning them.
