Customer Reviews The North Face ThermoBall™ Bootie

Not worth the effort. These might as well be made of paper board cereal boxes. There is barely any loft to the insulation, there is no support of any kind, they feel just plain weird like the footbed is warped somehow. I've had other booties before that have lasted 10 years and these do not compare. I wouldn't imagine these would last even one season. Commonly I buy "quality" made shoes and boots but these are probably about what you'd expect to buy at Target or Walmart. Nothing like Sorel, Merrell, etc. I normally wear a 10-10.5 and these were tight on the toes in a size 10 and the heel was very stiff. Just plain weird.

I want to like these shoes. I love the color and the style! But I wore them once, all day, when I was on the east coast and the left boot ended up cutting into the back of my left heel. I had this uncomfortable cut the rest of the trip. I put a bandaid on it and that seemed to help. I wore sneakers the rest of the week and luckily the weather heated up. I planned on wearing these the entire trip and wished I brought different boots. I got a good chunk of snow on the top of the boot and some of it melted into the boot. Very disappointed.
