Customer Reviews The North Face Back-To-Berkeley Redux

Awesome boots - love the retro look of these, with the updated speckled soles (I got the Black and Mykonos Blue). Love the The North Face doesn't assign their women's footwear the typical "feminine" colors. Aside from the awesome looks, these shoes are supremely comfortable, easy to put on, and nice and grippy on the bottoms - great for navigating slippery winter sidewalks with my dog in the mornings. I"m tempted to buy another pair in the other color way as well.

Super comfy and cute. Definitely order a half size up. I always wear an 8.5 in shoes, but went with size 9 in these.

I wanted to love these, I've been looking for a waterproof sneaker type shoe for commuting (boots are just never that comfortable). I read that these ran a bit small so I ordered an 8. All of my north face sneakers are 7.5, so even though I get an 8 foot boots and some sneakers in other brands, I wasn't sure about these. To be fair I tried them on with thicker socks--the socks I'd wear with the shoes--and the 8 cramped my toes and immediately made my entire foot cramp and feel numb. There is zero arch in these, the insole is basically flat. Disappointed, considering north face running shoes are usually great and have adequate arch support. I thought about exchanging for a size up but they just weren't that comfortable.

I ordered a half size up and the shoes fit perfectly and seem to be comfortable. I bought them for a upcoming trip to Iceland and probably won’t wear them until then so can’t say how they will perform until but comfort straight out of the box was great.

These are really cute and supportive. They are just a tad tight in the toe area and as I would like to be able to wear thicker socks with them they are sadly going back. I think they have great traction and feel good overall.

I am typically a 6.5, but I ordered these in a 7 to have a bit of room for thicker socks. The 7 was the perfect size. They keep my feet dry, and I got several compliments!

I LOVE these boots. I did two hikes in them the first weekend I had them and they required ZERO breaking in (revolutionary with hiking boots!). They're also super cute and I get lots of compliments when I wear them to work. I am usually a 5.5 and the 6 fit great.

Awesome shoes! Very warm, breathable and light. Even went running in them in Colorado, felt very comfortable and stable.

Cute fun style. Beware - when walking in very slight snow I was slipping and was not confident in my footing on a trail. If you look at the tread, there is no tread by the toe area so as you step, it slips. Kind of disappointing because my husband already was giving me crap about stylish hiking shoes lol. ?????

I love these boots. They're perfect for everyday wear during a Seattle winter. They're waterproof and insulated enough that my feet stay warm, but not so insulated that they're hot. They're that perfect middle ground. Definitely a soft-soled sneaker boot, so I wouldn't actually go hiking in them or walk around for hours in them. There's not a ton of arch support, but it doesn't bother me.

I love these boots! They are cute to wear out and about or perfect for the trails.

Comfy, warm and just what I was looking for in a boot.
