Customer Reviews The North Face Shellista II Mid

I don't have any shoes that are warm and waterproof. This winter has been particularly wet and cold, which is very difficult for a dog owner and nature lover. I love this pair of boots. They are so cute, warm and so hardy. I feel very supported wearing them.

These boots were everything I hoped and wished for. Opening the box was a purely majestic experience. Just upon viewing the boots, I knew they would exceed my expectations. The durable sole, the furry inside, the wool detailing at the top. When I put my feet in, it felt like these boots were made specifically for them. They were the perfect puzzle piece to complete my winter feet. No more cold toes and soggy shoes. Frolicking in the snow knowing that nothing can stop these new boots brought me back to my childhood. These boots are a lifetime of wondrous experience that you will not forget.

I purchased these boots in the fig color which was beautiful and very stylist. I took them on a trip to Norway where the weather was about 15-30 degrees depending on the day and my feet were freezing. I then wore them in NYC on a cold day that was about 15 degree and my feet were gmfrewzing again and wouldn't warm up even while indoors I was wearing thermal socks on both occasions and double socks while in Norway. Pros-they are comfortable, stylish cons-definitely not warm enough, putting on and taking off is a bit tough you have to expand all of the laces. They may work in 30-40 degree weather with minimal snow but if there is a lot of snow and below 30 degree weather they may not work for you as they didn't for me. Overall For the price I expected a bit of a warmer boot. Seems like all the raving reviews about warmth are from 2 years ago so the boot may have changed. I am now stuck with them so I have to figure out a solutions since they weren't cheap adding to the cost of the boot. They are still stylish and waterproof but not as effective in the warmth department like I needed them to be.

These are comfortable and pretty warm/water resistant, but both boots are separating at the heel. Would expect better quality, disappointed.

I used it twice. Once with thick socks i felt uncomfortable. Now woth a thin sock i feel comfortable but come on my fingers freeze in this cold weather in New York! Merrell is better!!!

I bought these shoes a year ago to wear during the often -25C winters Alberta receives. I was sorely mistaken to think these shoes would do anything to keep my feet warm. I have tried to wear them in -10C and -15C weather and they did nothing. I tried wearing them with wool socks thinking that they would help to insulate the shoes. Nope, this did nothing. They are made with primaloft, but the rubber of the shoe makes the cold seep in. I developed frostbite on my toes when I tried to wear them in -28C weather (as I was told they could withstand greater than -30C). They are TERRIBLE shoes. I am horrified at the blatant lack of quality. I expected more from the North Face. This just shoes that they are not a brand to be trusted in providing quality winter gear. Do not buy these shoes if you are hoping that your feet will stay warm. They do not work and are a waste of money. I would rate them a 0 but that was not an option.

My feet are always cold in these boots.

Snow boots are great for the deep February snow. They are warm and comfy - I find I can wear them all day while at work

Perfect for a cozy and cool day.

I live in Minneapolis and walk most places. With heavy snowfalls and cold temperatures, I require durable, waterproof boots. These boots are comfortable, warm, and fashionable. Unlike most boots, I know they will last a long time. You can tell they are made with durable and reliable material.
