Customer Reviews The North Face Shellista III Tall

This boots are horrible! For this price and what you get is insane. my feet are NOT kept warm at all. do NOT get this product

I bought these boots in December of 2016 and still have not been able to figure out how to keep my feet warm. I have tried cotton, wool and nylon socks and yet my feet are still cold even when in my car. Sure they keep the water out, but they're an expensive boot to only be able to wear when it's raining. I should have returned them last winter; instead they stayed in the closet. Also, they bunch at the ankles so it irritates my ankles - just too big around my legs which I questioned int he store when I tried them on and I must say the sales girl did a good job of convincing me...

I have probably wore these boots about 10-15 times and both boots let water in. My feet become cold and wet and make the boots useless here in Michigan! I like that they are tall and comfortable but for the price I should be-able to wear these boots for a few years without any issues! Very disappointed with quality and one year warranty.

Im disappointed I just returned them. They rubbed the back of my leg and was very painful! Still waiting for my refund!

I received a pair from North Face three years ago and absolutely loved the length and how it came up to my knee. When they finally wore out I was devastated and came looking for a new pair. Although the Shelista III is is stylish, warm, and comfortable; they are not what I was looking for. The website advertises 17" boots and these are only 14", I expect a boot that allows me to trudge through the tall snow drifts of northern New York. I will not be buying another pair until they make them true to their advertised length.

These boots are super cute! They look and feel like they should be warm. As soon as the rubber toe area gets wet or snowy, you can feel the cold seeping through. If you wear them in snow for more than 10 min, your feet will freeze! My toes ached!

These shoes are too heavy, unfortunately I had to return them back in the store. I wish they were little lighter .

I really wanted to like this boot. I bought it for my vacation in Chicago. I normally wear 7-7.5 but I bought an 8 so I could wear thick socks. Pros: comfortable, didn't need to break in, kept my legs warm Cons: toes still cold despite 2 layers of warm wool socks and the plastic eyelet broke I think I could look past my toes being somewhat cold but the cheap materials is a deal breaker. I only wore the boots for 1 day before the plastic eyelet broke when I was lacing up the boots. I wasn't even pulling hard on the laces! Closer inspection shows that the eyelets are plastic. For the price I'm paying it would be nice if they were metal like some other brands. I could send them in to have the eyelet replaced by the warranty but do I really even want to wear them again with the risk of the eyelets breaking? No thanks.

I bought these prior to a huge snow storm hoping for a nice pair of snow boots that I could run all my errands in and stay warm that were cute and not bulky. They have nice tread for ice, and I like that they come up higher on my calves, but my toes are always cold, no matter what kind of socks I wear under them. I almost wish I had never worn them and could return them for a different pair.

Very comfortable I was hoping for better quality, my toes are frozen in the snow and the temperature is above 0, not enough insulation in the toes, my cheaper boots are warmer.

Got them out of the box, tried them on, and the eyelet for the shoe laces instantly broke. They are made of CHEAP PLASTIC! I was very disappointed. The very top eyelet is metal, but the rest are a flexible plastic. You couldn't even tell the eyelet was broken until you tried to tighten the shoe and the laces popped right out. Glad I ordered these before winter hit so now I have time to find a new pare. Submitted for a refund within 5 minutes of opening the box. Very disappointed in this quality. I expected way better of the North Face brand.

I researched boots for almost a year trying to find the perfect ones. North Face is a great company and these specific boots had nothing but great reviews. I'm thinking perhaps I got an off pair? My feet get cold and wet almost instantly walking to my car. They are also half a size to a full size too small for the suggested fit. I'm so disappointed.

Unfortunately will be returning. I found they fit true to size I normally wear a size 8 the size guide told me to order a 7.5, so I did and they fit just a little snug in the toes, woulda stuck to my normal size. But the reason for returning is they were so bunchie in the ankles no matter how tight or loose I tied them. It just looked awful it looked folded over and bulky by the ankles. They shoulda brought the water proof looking material all the way down by the ankles for more stability instead of leaving it just suede probably wouldn't of bunched up then. Also they charge $7 for a return shipping label so beware! I've never had a company charge for that a little dissapointing.

I bought these boots in the store. Tried them on before purchasing and fell in love with them. So comfortable and they felt so durable. I wore them once during a couple inches of snow and my toes felt unusually cold, which didn't make sense since these boots are supposed to be so warm. Then I just wore them today in big snow storm and after just walking from my house to my car, I noticed my toes were all of a sudden ice cold. I got to work and took them off and sure enough my socks were pretty wet. I don't leave reviews often but I see this is a common malfunction of these boots from other reviews. Seems like it doesn't happen every time, but to a handful of people. But when you live in MI there's not much time to mess around with leaking boots!! Not sure that I will exchange them, but definitely will be returning them. So disappointed.

I purchased these boots to keep my feet warm this winter. I wore them a day after Christmas(so excited) in Chicago with 30 degrees and light snow (turned into slush and ice) and my right foot in particular ended up cold and wet. I was probably heard talking to myself asking "how in the world would North Face make a product like this that does not keep my feet warm and dry". Additionally, I wore two pair of thermal socks inside the boots and certainly did not anticipate this issue at all. I am very disappointed with this purchase.

The guides for the laces on the upper part of the boot are cheap plastic!!! One was broken when I opened the box and I hadn't even tried to lace the boots tight yet. Now it's impossible to tighten the boot. If I would of known that one of the most used parts of this boots was made from plastic I wouldn't have bought them. I will be sending the boots back. Just know before you buy.
