Customer Reviews The North Face Ballard Lace II

These are really my new favorites. They are SO comfortable and look so cute. I haven't worn anything else since I bought them a couple weeks ago! Very sturdy, but still feel great on.

Love these shoes! I went half a size up as I usually wear an 8.5 but because I expect to wear these while hiking/ with thick socks that felt the best way to go and I was right! These are the most stylish hiking shoes that I feel comfortable wearing day to day and on a trail. Have had them for a few weeks and still in top condition but only time will tell how durable they are.

Was looking for a pair of casual boots that would be comfortable to wear to work and for walking/traveling. I have a bit of a hike from where I park to my office, so a supportive shoe that would be comfortable for walking was a must. This boot is so comfortable and supportive, and fits like a glove without squishing my toes. I feel like I could easily do some light hiking in these boots when traveling if I didn't want to pack my hiking boots which is a plus. They are also stylish enough to wear to dinner/drinks/work without looking like I'm going for a hike. There was no break-in period for me, and after about a month they still fit the same.

I live in the Midwest and found that these boots are a perfect addition to my clothes. Weather here is always changing but these keep my feet warm in winter, still breathable, and overall great for almost any occasion. I would highly recommend these boots to anyone. Just make sure you give these boots a week or two to break in and also put a nikwax seal on them as there color can fade with water.

I use this product for work. I work as a sales rep for a staffing agency and am often on construction sites

Great boot. Very comfortable from first wear. Would like to be available in black

Super comfortable as soon as they were put on.

I love the look of these boots. I bought them for travel, but I've been wearing them everywhere. Two notes: 1. The way the internal structure is built tends to nip at my ankles. I've been wearing thick wool socks with these but sometimes I still feel the structure biting into the underside of my ankle. I'm hoping this breaks in over time. 2. The ends of the shoelaces are already breaking! The plastic end piece on one of the laces has already split and I've only had these for 2 weeks. I don't think this is normal and will be requesting new laces.

For years, I have been wearing boots to do Prairie work, seed collection and prairie burns. My feet were always sore at the end of the day and I couldn't wait to take off my work boots. My NF Ballard boots are amazingly comfortable and they look great! Love the cushioning that keeps my feet comfortable all day long!

I wear these with jeans and casual skinny jeans

These boots are great, not only are they cute and stylish, but also warm and waterproof. I've walked throw ankle deep snow and these and come out with nice dry feet. Definetly will be buying more to come.

I got these boots as a gift last winter, and they are wonderful. There was no need to break them in. I put them on, tied them up, and off I went. They are basically waterproof, warm, soft and durable. I felt bad for putting them through the works because they really are beautifully crafted. So instead of "shiny," they're a bit scuffed. But they do the job. I walk in the mountainous woods at least once a week, and I still feel good about putting them on over my skinny jeans and wearing them to dinner. Great, great boots. < 3

I love these boots!! I am a petite woman and boots with overwhelm my stature or just don't suit me. But these boots are perfect! They look almost like they were made for me. Lots of room, comfortable as a sneaker and no pinching!!! I'm in LOVE!!

I have had these boots for 2 years now, and wear them almost every day during non-sandal months. They are simple & absolutely adorable! VERY lightweight, which is impossible to find with leather boots and was very important to me. They form to your feet beautifully and look feminine. I WISH North Face made them in black *COUGH COUGH* I wouldn't wear them hiking personally because I wouldn't want to mess them up

sturdy, functional, and look great. I've worn them in the outdoors and to the office.

I needed a pair of boots for everyday wear and hiking. These boots are exactly what I was looking for. They are comfortable and have good sole traction. They are also waterproof and great in the rain.

Go ahead and try to find a cuter pair of hiking boots. Adorable, light weight and easy to pair with jeans or active wear.
