They run so small that if you want to wear socks you would need go go up 2 full sizes.

I was really hoping these boots would work for me. I would have had to untie almost all the boot to get my foot in (size 6). Then, I didn't care for how they made my calves look (bulky). But these are well made boots and are overall a very nice looking boot. As far as recommendation, I think you should order and try them. They may be just what you were looking for!

Wish they had elastic laces instead of tie up ones. They are time consuming to unlace enough to get them on

Very difficult to put on and take off. That being said they are VERY cute. If you enjoy spending several minutes putting on your footwear these are for you.

I loved the height of these, although they aren't really my style with the mix of wool and leather and black and gray (too busy). They run very small and have strange padding on top of the toes and around the footbed (like little pillows) that pressed on my feet all around and made them hurt to wear for 5 minutes. The 9 said 9.5 on the tag and was still too small even though I am usually 8.5 or 9. I didn't bother to try a 10.

The boots are super warm. In fact I wear them on super cold nights walking around town. They are too warm on a normal winter day in summit county Colorado. There are loops for every other lace hole. It would have been awesome if they would have done boot hooks so it was easier and quicker to lace up and loosen up. sized super small. I normally wear a 7.5 in just about everything and had to get an 8.5.

These boots are very stylish but the sizing is way off. I bought a size up to be safe. Still very small and I am returning.

I really wanted to keep these boots but unfortunately, the size 11 feels like a size 9.5 and I have to return them. Please North Face, there are so many people with feet larger than size 10 and we would love more large size selection!!

I love these boots EXCEPT for the fact that they do nothing to keep you from slipping on ice and snow. The Pros are that they are incredibly warm and snuggly, comfortable and one of the few calf-height boots on the market.

I'm still deciding whether or not I'll keep this boots. They are overall very comfortable and easy to slide on and off considering how tall the shaft is. However the toes on these are super tight! I've never had a problem with the width of shoes and have never needed a wide but I find myself wishing they made a wide version of these boots. I'll wear them around the house for a day or two before i decide for sure.

I am very happy with North Face products but customer service is non existent:( I tried calling several times as I wanted to purchase these boots in a different size, I was never able to talk to a person. Everything is automated. You can return them to a store unfortunately they fail to tell you it must be a company store not a retailer. Also when I went to their site I could not find my purchase even with the order number

Not warm in the snow. The left one rubs and feels smaller than the right. Just not what I expected for the price. Sadly returning. They are super cute though.

They are nice to look at, but very uncomfortable and so heavy. I only put them on to walk around only around my house and felt I was carrying a big weight on each foot. Returned them and I'm currently waiting on my refund.

I loved everything about these boots but the fit. My regular size is 6 1/2 shoes and 7 boots. I ordered a 7 and it was tight and small. I decided not to try the next size up.

These boot are the best boots I have ever purchased. Usually I have to double up on sock to keep my toes warm, with these boot it is not necessary the installation is amazing. You won't re great this purchase

These boots are warm and waterproof. I ordered my usual sizing and they seem to fit (not obviously too small). However, I think that the stiff bottom of these boots restricts blood flow to my feet because after wearing them for a short period of time my feet start tingling. This is pretty uncomfortable and so I don't wear them for long periods of time because I can't feel my toes!

I returned these boots. They ran small and I got the high calf boots thinking it would be warmer. They were hard and very uncomfortable. I was very disappointed.

These appear to be nice boots, but the sizing is definitely off. I normally wear a 6, but ordered a 7 based on the customer reviews. Size 7 was too big, so I exchanged them for a 6-1/2, which was too small. Disappointed.

I was so excited to get these boots but they aren't worth the money if you're looking for cold weather boots. I've used them twice walking my dogs in 24 degree weather.. Once with a lightweight wool and the second time with a thick wool sock and both times my feet got noticeably cold before I'd even been out for an 30 minutes! Incredibly disappointed in their performance.
