Customer Reviews The North Face Kids Thermoball Eco Traction Mule II (Toddler/Little Kid/Big Kid)

booties are better

I am such a huge fan of the Traction Mules for myself that they were my main present for my daughter, 10 and 17 year old nephews, and my 90 year old mom. I first found out about them last year when I was researching shoes, slippers and boots for my mom because I am so scared of her falling when she walks outside in the snow. These Traction Mules have been a BIG hit this year! I have found that they are true to size. Very comfortable and warm! A decent array of colors and patterns to please any age.

The Kid loves them! Perfect for a non-shoe wearer

My daughter loves these - they are so comfortable and also sturdy for outdoor wear.

Size up!! My granddaughter was super disappointed when she tried these on she was so excited. BUT they are super insulated which made them fit super tight and they run shorter than her regular size! I got them on sale so I will have to end up paying regular price when I return them! And I'm super stressed about sending them back since the last item I sent back they said they never received it and I LOST that money!!! AND you can't call customer service and actually talk to a person!! I LOVE the North Face brand but this is all disappointing.

My daughter uses these for swim practice, help keep her warm after leaving the pool. They dry quickly and are perfect for this. Took one star off because they run small

Great for kids

Ordered these for both my kids in their usual size and they both needed a size bigger, otherwise these were absolutely cozy and had great soles

I love these!!! I got them as my new tent slippers. They are extremely comfy and warm. I have a very high instep and arch and getting them on was a little tricky. My next ones I will size up so I have room for a thick sock and ease of getting in them. A must buy!

Bought them for my daughters' first camping trip. Size is perfect and actually ended up using it for my youngest with wool socks on. They are a little challenging to put on but doesn't take more than a minute. Would buy again.

I need a pair of in-house boots that are warm to walk around in the house for the winter, but on other seasons I need a pair of regulars sandals, do not want to get so many different indoor shoes, the design is perfect for the function and very stylish. Wish they have more color offering as I really like them!

These slippers are great but their one flaw for me is their sole. There is a hard, very dense sole on the outside of the slipper, and what feels like the only other layer is a soft memory foam type layer. When I step, the soft memory foam layer squishes down right away, and then I'm on the really hard sole (which is harder than the carpeted floor). When I wear them for a bit standing, sometimes my heel hurts. I didn't have this problem with mules from Ugg. What I think they need is a mid-layer in the sole to give more support, or perhaps just in the heel so your foot is slanted down. I would not mind any weight gains to the shoe. Granted I am an adult wearing size 6, but I think most folks at this size will be a similar weight anyways. I will keep these shoes and still love that they have a sole, that the heel can go down easily, that they're synthetic, they insulate me from the cold floor, and overall they seem really well-made and have lots of structure in the upper. Recommend sizing up.

I don't normally like wearing slippers, but these slippers changed my mind. They're soft and comfy, and I love the flower print! I like to wear these when it is cold outside.

I am a tiny footed adult with reynauds so my fingers and toes are ALWAYS cold. I had hoped these would do the trick, but they are only warm enough if I am also wearing cozy socks. Oh well. The good news is they are incredibly comfy, easy to put on, and the grip sole is ideal for dashing around on the hardwood floors. I do still wish they were warm enough for me to wear sans sock, but it doesn't stop me from wearing them all day, everyday working from home!

Purchased a second pair for my daughter. *She outgrew the last pair. She loves them and wears them everywhere. Everyone in the family has a pair.

Shoes are great, they are comfortable and warm but they run small.

I bought these for both of my sons. They love the feel of the fleece inside. Great for indoors and outdoors too. Four stars because they seem to run small so I would size up next time.

I have a wide foot and a deep instep so I feel that the shoe although it is comfortable on the bottom of my feet it is too tight around the top of my feet.

Run small. Hard to get foot in.

So are these like Big kids sizes or are they the smaller sizes for toddlers and little kids ?

I got a pair for each one of my kids during the sale. What a great deal! But unfortunately they didn't fit, my kids couldn't get their feet in. Went in-store to exchange and they told me they couldn't process an exchange and I had to return them, the sale was over as well. I have a pair and love them! Please allow exchanges and have a small section in-store for kid shoes. Overall the multicolor ones the cutest. Size up.
