Customer Reviews The North Face Back-To-Berkeley Redux

This is truly the perfect hiking boot. I generally wear a women's size 9.5, and the 9.5 in this shoe fits me perfectly. They are so incredibly comfortable with great ankle and arch support. And so durable too. I recently took a week long trip to utah in winter and wore them every single day we were there, including on our 8.5 mile snowy hike to a hot spring. The shoes got completely submerged in snow, water, and mud at different points throughout the hike and my feet stayed dry the entire time. Even after all that wear, the shoes cleaned off easily and still look brand new. I will be wearing these for years to come!

Not only are these the best looking hiking boots I've ever seen (most hiking boots are pretty ugly, in my opinion), but they are great for actual hiking. When I first got them I wore them on a relatively rugged terrain mountain. They were comfortable for the ~3 hour hike, had great traction and great ankle support. I love them and am so happy I was finally able to find hiking boots that function well and look great.

I'm always an 8.5 but needed a 9 in these boots. They were exactly what I was looking for - something warm and durable for cold Minnesota winters that wears more like a sneaker. They're great and provide good traction on the snow and ice. Super cute, too. My only complaint is the laces are too long. Like, wayyyyy too long.

I bought these to wear around the city in the winter and love them. Paired with a wool sock they keep my feet super warm, and I find the soles to have great grip on the icy ground.

I got these boots for a casual dog walking/light hiking boot for the winter in Colorado. I'm typically a 7.5 - 8 and at first debated between which size to get, but I'm really glad I went with 7.5. I wear custom orthotics and it was a must to try them on with both sizes because the shoes felt completely different with the orthotics in. The 7.5 fit perfectly with my orthotics, while the 8 felt pinchy in the creases and around the ankle when I walked because there was too much boot and it was digging into my feet. I got the white color, which I wasn't planning on because who would by a white boot, right? You'd think it would get dirty fast. But it looked so cute in the store how they had it outfitted on the manikin that I was sold. While I'm not trekking through mud, I do find that I don't have too much trouble with them collecting dirt with normal wear. They did gather dust in the creases in the toe area, but I just washed them with a toothbrush and some natural hand soap and they were good as new. These boots have become my go-to. They're the most comfortable boot I own. They make me want to keep walking forever!

I bought these boots to keep me warm and dry while also looking stylish this winter. They are winners! They are clearly extremely durable and very comfortable - since they are a sneaker boot, they can kind of do it all. They will take me on my travels in style and comfort for sure. Excellent for snowy ski resort parking lots, any kind of winter walking and standing outside in the cold, which is what I need them for. I think I'll need to wear them a few times to really break them in and get them molded to my foot as they are a bit stiff out of the box.

LOVE these boots! My boyfriend and I go on an annual hiking trip and I've been wanting to get these boots each year- SO glad I finally did. We hiked up 5.7 miles in the Smoky Mountains on a pretty strenuous trail, and boy was I thankful I had these on. They were perfect and really comfortable. I didn't even need to break them in and after wearing for over 4 hours I had no blisters and barely sore feet. Highly recommend if you are looking for a really comfortable, sturdy hiking boot but yet also one that is really stylish and cute. Most hiking boots I've found were ugly, but I love the way these look - cutest hiking boots around!

I love these! They are very comfortable, and very stable, even walking in deep sand. I have tested these out in a light drizzle and a very heavy rain and my feet stayed warm and dry the entire time. I even put my feet right into a river and let the water run over these for a couple minutes and they didn't soak through. I haven't hiked more than 5 miles at once in them but they've been amazing for short hikes. I bought them for an upcoming trip to Scotland and feel confident they'll hold up through hiking 10 miles daily. Do not recommend for overly warm days as they are very warm!

I would 100% recommend. Super comfortable but also stylish. I'm planning on wearing them on an upcoming hiking trip. Little to no breaking in needed with these boots. I was going between a 7 or 7.5 and got the 7.5. I feel like they run just a tad on the smaller side. Glad I purchased these!

Hi, So I initially fell in love with the Women's Shellista III Tall Winter Boots but I've ended up sticking with the Women's Back to Berkeley Redux Boots. These Boots match more of my clothes, they are warm and sturdy. Sometimes womens boots are made to be cute but not really made to handle the weather or stepping on snow, these boots are the best of both worlds. I purchased a 9 because that's my shoe size and they were tight for a few days but it's been a week and they fit great! They are holding up well and part of my internship is working outside so this really was a great purchase.

Bought these boots as my permanent travel boots for all climates. First test was a 3 week trip to New Zealand where they were put through rain, snow, mud and sunshine. They handled all the weather perfectly and were no worse for wear. Dirt was easily cleaned off them and they were extremely waterproof (although didn't submerged them fully). They were extremely comfortable on rocky terrain and during an 6-hour valley hike. I would 100% recommend if you're looking for a stylish all around boot that's light and great for all types of travel.

Love these boots! I bought them because when I read the reviews someone said they were more comfortable than sneakers & I have to agree. I was looking for a casual boot to wear around town & I found exactly what I was looking for. I feel they run true to size. I bought the bone brown color & love them!! Now I want to buy a pair of the men's version for my husband!

I've worn these boots non stop since I have received them. They were comfortable right out of the box. They fit well with both a light and mid weight sock as the lacing system lets you really customize the fit. The color is beautiful a really deep rich burgundy. They are very warm and waterproof. Any dirt or mud has just wiped right off. I will be buying these in black once they come back in stock in my size.

I wanted a boot that felt more like a sneaker, and less like a boot. These are the perfect combo. They keep my feet warm, I feel they run true to size, and they are comfortable right out of the box. Haven't tested out the waterproof part yet, but feeling pretty confident.

I bought these boots to day trip hike around Norcal's Siskyou Mountains. They were great- really comfortable. I wore a smartwool sock and those always seem to keep me from getting any blisters, etc. I can be an 8 or 8.5 and originally ordered the 8, and ended up exchanging for the 8.5 I am happy to be taking these next month to Mammoth for some hikes.

I'm so happy I have found this boots! They are amazingly warm, cute, stylish, not wide like others. Great support and unbelievable padding-I feel like I walk on a cloud:) Thank you!

Amazing boot and super cute!!

I bought these boots for some hiking and they were great! They are super cute and stylish while also being very durable. Just got back from a trip to Mammoth Lake and hiked three days in these boots and my feet were comfortable the whole time. Walked through some trails with shallow creeks and my socks stayed nice and dry!! I ordered a half size up and they fit perfectly. Would absolutely recommend! ...And of course they now offer several other cute colors that they didn't have when I bought mine haha

The boots are very cute and comfy!

Went out sledding up in the mountains last night and was kinda nervous about wearing these. They were AMAZING. My feet were dry and warm the entire time, plus no rolled ankle when myself and my friend had to fight off 3 grown men in the middle of the ice and snow because they support my ankle so great. They also wash right off! The mud wiped away clean and the snow dried clear no weird stains like on some boots. Super adorable!!!

these shoes are so perfect! I ordered them to wear to work, but I loved them so much I bought a 2nd pair so that I could wear them out & about. very comfy, great looking, wore them for probably 12 hrs. first time and there was none of that "new shoe" pain. really can't recommend them enough.

These boots are so comfortable. I love how they look and I have gotten a few compliments already. They are stylish and go with everything. So glad I chose these.

These shoes are awesome! I looked all over before discovering these beauties. Technically they're boots but they're casual enough to pass as heavy duty shoes. Do they pass the snow test? Absolutely. I spend a good portion of the day outside in a very snowy and cold environment. These things keep my feet nice and dry even when walking through snow, ice, and slush. They have great traction, padded insoles, ankle support and best of all - they're cute! The lighter brown on the top of the shoe is more of a grayish brown so they're neutral enough to go with most outfits. My shoe size is usually an 8 (sometimes 7.5, sometimes 8.5). I tried these on in store and could fit both an 8 and 8.5. I went with the 8.5 and I'm glad I did since now there's plenty of room for my toes to breathe, and I can wear thicker socks if I want for added warmth. If you're "in between" sizes or can go either way, go a half size up. And as with all North Face products, these are high quality and I can tell they'll last for years, even though I plan to wear them every day this winter.

They don't wrinkle fast and the material feels and looks like the boot will last long

These are the best stylish boots I had. Love the vintage style but The best part is that those boots are for all weather we have here in Montreal. I never get cold or wet feet. Best Buy !
