Customer Reviews The North Face Shellista II Mid

I work outside a lot. These boots are not warm enough for very cold weather. They are stylish though.

This boot was recommended to me by a friend as a comfortable and warm snow boots. I've had it for six months, I'd say it's not my go to winter/snow boots. I've had to deal with a lot of sores and blisters. Sometimes it does let water in and does not keep the toes warm. It feels bulky-more like I'm dragging my feet while wearing it. I thought of going a size down but its was just too tight with little/no room for socks. Not the best boots for winter however, it is stylish and I love the chestnut color.

Great boot until I wore it out into the snow. Water seeped into my boot and that had made my toes cold. I wasnt happy because I thought north face was the beat boot you could get. So disappointed also its very snug at the ankle and not the most comfortable to walk in for long periods of time. Feel like I'm dragging something. Ugh only thing good is that the boot is cute and the boot keeps your feet very warm in cold weather.

These aren't quite what I had hoped for warmth wise, specifically in the toes (my ankles are nice and cozy). I live in Northern MN, where the snow rarely melts before March and our temperatures are frequently below zero in the winter. They are quite narrow for snow boots, and I think that might be part of my problem with warmth. They hug my feet just a little too tightly when I wear my very thick wool socks and the cold seeps in. However, I think if I sized up, the length would be too big. I probably will get another warmer pair of boots next year for when I am out of extended periods, and keep these for when I am out and about. (I live in snow boots up here) As someone that works outside with dogs, they are quite durable and they have great traction in the ice. They also are not quite as heavy as other snow boots I have owned (partially because of their narrow sole) and they look great! As far as running errands and going out they are fantastic. Like I said, I just wish they were a little warmer. Bottom line: If you are in a climate that generally stays above 20 degrees or looking for boots to walk around town in, I would highly recommend these. If your like me, where temps are frequently below 20 degrees and you are outside for extended periods, I would keep looking.

These boots are very comfortable and good for a short commute, however I found that the insulation was not great. If I was outside or standing in the snow for any longer than a few minutes, I lost feeling in my toes from the cold. To make them bearable when I was in Vermont, I used stick on toe warmers to help circulate the heat.

Unfortunately I never tried the boot when I realized it had no zipper. I must have selected the wrong style. Although they are cute! I will return them

Server cold weather and snow

I like these boots because they are relatively comfy while keeping laces loosely tied, and they keep my feet warm and dry. What I do not love is that they are not as aesthetically cute as other boots and laced up, they hurt my ankle.

This boot looks great and was a fair price, the tongue will not let snow in either. My biggest issue is my toes get cold, and they do not have the best grip on snow/ice.

Bought them for snow there a little stiff hopefully they will break in ok
