Customer Reviews The North Face Chilkat III

Make sure you bup one size up from what you normally wear. Other than that this is a very comfortable pair of boots. I use them for snow removal and my feet stay nice and dry.

Very warm but bulky & heavy. I have no complain with being bulky or heavy because winter boots are built like that. The main complain I have is the poor quality, bought my boots probably less than 5 years ago & only used few times every winter since I bought it BUT this winter season when I first use it the rubber above the sole broke in one of the boots (see attached pix). VERY DISAPPOINTED!!

So these boots don't have the most appealing look but that's not why you buy them. First time I put them on, they felt tight due to all of the thermal cushion around ankle. After one hike I realized how awesome these boots are! They relaxed around the ankle, but still gave exceptional support and comfort and warmth! These are definitely for the snow or cold conditions. They keep your feet warm in below freezing temps with only thin cotton socks (no more need for the extra thick wool or thermal socks! They are waterproof, which is a lifesaver during these extreme hikes! Just so you know better, I was using these to hike a 14er (Mt Quandary) and it's wet in parts below tree line, it's frigid cold near the summit, and it's begging you to twist your ankle when you're using your crampons or snow shoes. I had no problems getting up that mountain with these boots! And if you know your hiking boots, you know you need good "braking" tread on the soles. I've never owned a boot with such good traction! Seriously! I didn't have my crampons or snowshoes on coming down the mountain and I had nearly as good of traction as my girlfriend did, and she was wearing crampons the whole time! I've owned quite a few pairs of hiking boots and by far these had the best brakes I've ever used! Truly unbelievable! Best hiking boot I've ever owned! I will get the summer version of these exact boots, come summer time!

The she's fit great on me!!! And it's like I'm walking in a cloud with all the instilled padding! Great buy!

I've hardly worn these boots and the rubber has already cracked. I have emailed North Face twice about warranty repairs and no one has responded.

Had original Chilkats and also Chilkat ii. Both pairs broke apart and cracked on the lower "rubber" part of boot.Only used them a hand full of times but they only lasted less then two years! To bad because I obviously liked the boot.

Keeps my feet warm on cold winter nights. Def comfortable

I've used north face boots while snowmobiling for the last 8 years and they are just as warm and durable as actual sled boots for 1/3 the costs. Highly recommend!

Just received my boots They look perfect for the Colorado snow. I normally wear 11.5 in Northface but sized up to 12 based on other reviews. Definitely glad I did!

These are my favorite boots. This is my second pair of chilkats. My first pair last 11 years and there is not a better boot for the cold.

Great boot very comfortable and they keep you very warm and dry can wear all day and feel good

I live in Buffalo N.Y. and they are the perfect boots for the winter love them

I work at a ski resort performing security. I walk up to 9 miles a day and in snow as well.

I got these for the snow. I'm going to northern Michigan and I'm from the south so I didn't want my feet to be cold.

Great for the snow! Warm and dry! Very comfortable and stylish too
