Customer Reviews The North Face Chilkat 400

It fit a little snug and we had to exchange the boot for a larger size but my girlfriend LOVES it. She gets compliments on them all the time. Very durable but also a great looking snow boot.

These boots are a good quality buy, but make sure you order 1 full size bigger than you normally would, sizes run small. I bought these as a gift for my wife and she really likes them for both functionality and style. Just had to return for a bigger size.

I researched this product and read the reviews before buying. Many people stated the boots a half size small. When I first put the boots on, also thought the same thing and bought a half size up. However, after wearing them a few times the padding relaxed and the boots actually felt too big. I brought them back and exchanged them for a smaller size - which was my actual size. The boots feel stiff when you first put them on, but relax and are very comfortable. They are warmer than my other boots, but I would still like them to be a little warmer in the toe box.

So I have a friend. She has been ticked off since her last pair of these boots were stolen (along with her whole backpack). And that's been over a year! She was fond of the boots to say the least. I surprised her with a new pair...and surprised myself too. Not typically my color - these look great. They are a very solid, lower rise boot. She will be walking a lot in them and taking them on and off a lot. She needs something that keep her feet warm and dry - and can move from walking for work to walking for life. These boots are poised to do it all.

An older model of this boot - Chilmark II -- like new, rarely warn, kept clean and free of salt, and stored inside my home. With the first snow this year, I put them on, went outside in 35 degree weather, and watched the rubber on one of the boots split into seven pieces and fall onto the ground. I've been advised to return these out-of-warranty boots for evaluation, repair, or replacement. I am hoping that this is just an unusual defect and that the North Face will stand by the quality of its winter boots as LLBean and Sorel do. Has anyone else had this problem?

I read a lot of reviews about getting a size larger, DON'T!!! I put regular socks on originally and I thought at first that it was a good thing I got a size bigger. Then when I actually went to put them on to use I was wearing my thick warm wool socks and as I walked around my heel started slipping up and down. So finally I spoke with my mom who has the exact same pair and she said she wears her regular shoe size even with the thick socks. I had to return and reorder.....

Great boots but a bit stiff and feels slightly small on a first wear, but might strech.

This was a gift for my wife. I used the sizing charts from other shoe brands and it was off. The size it recommended was to small. She had to go a half size up. Other than that she loves the boots!

Loved the style look, and that I got them in black. They were a heavier boot. I had to return them only because they were pushing down really hard on my toe bed.

It does run at least a size small. I am a 9 and ordered the 10 and it fits great!

Had a pair of these boots for years I ordered another pair and was sad when they were so small. I will return and get the next size

They are very comfortable. I have not yet worn them in the snow, but I have worn them to break them in and they seem like they will be very warm in the snow.

They are a bit snug, but great quality.

These are very warm boots. However, they run small, I ordered a size 9 which is usually a big size for me to begin with. Had to give them to my daughter--These run small. I ordered a size 10 and honestly I could have gone with a size 10.5 while I am wearing them as is, I have to keep the laces loose. Also, they are stiff to wear, if you ever have worn a ski boot, where there is no bend around your ankle and upward, then you will know how these feel. I need to keep wearing them so that they break in and become softer. These will last a lifetime for sure and they are water proof and are warm! Just order at least a size up if not a size and a half up!

These boots keep my feet warm on chilly hikes and they are definitely waterproof. It is so nice! NOTE: The boots are well insulated, which makes them run small. I ordered two sizes up from my normal size because they were too tight otherwise (wearing thin socks).

My wife Loved The Look of this Boot. However, If you're ordering go a full size up from your Normal.
