Customer Reviews The North Face Thermoball Lace-Up

I wear these almost every single day. I walk 0.5 miles to the bus stop to go to work and they are perfect for walking in small amounts of snow and standing in the cold.

Great everyday boot for the winter. I use it for upstate hikes and walks or while doing outdoor chores (ie chopping wood, cleaning snow, etc)

Love my NF boots

The yellow is so cute and bright! These boots are so warm and comfortable- even during a Minnesota winter!

Love the strap at the back that allows you to tighten them around your ankles to keep the snow out!

100% Comfortable! Fits true to size! Ordered my usual shoe size :)

I use these everyday !!! Absolutely recommend these

Bought these boots and would buy them again! Best boot!

You can use these boots anytime you want warmth without sacrificing comfort. These boots are very soft and not heavy on your feet.

I'm a girl who likes to be on the move. I prefer to do my exercise walking outdoors rather than indoors on the boring dreadmill. But the winter proves problematic on several levels. It's slippery, it's cold and sometimes it's wet. I had tried walking outside in my Keen waterproof low boots but their lack of flex and heaviness made them feel clunky when I was trying to move along at a brisk pace. Likewise I have a pair of Hi-Tech boots that are of similar height to the Thermoball Lace Up but they were also stiff and clunky. I tried wearing running shoes with thick socks but my toes ended up freezing and stinging cold by the end of a half hour. I need to walk for an hour. So yesterday I went in search of something better. In the fourth store, Olympia Sports, I encountered the Thermoball boots. They looked nothing like what I had imagined in my mind and yet I was drawn to the look and materials. They were both light and flexible. When I put them on I was immediately drawn to the softness of the insides as they are lined with a soft, fleece like substance. What also impressed me was they were as light as a running shoe, and maintained a structured foot bed. The collar bungee was adjustable so you could cinch them tight to keep the elements out and they laced up so that you could customize the fit. The top portion of the boot is fully flexible and hardly feels like it's even there. The real test was today. It's 36 , slightly slick and lightly snowing outside and I just returned from a walk of a little over an hour. There was no break in for these boots and they were comfortable from the time I put them on until the time I pulled them off. They are water resistant. Water beads up on the surface but doesn't seem to soak in. They don't claim to be waterproof but they seem to be water resistant enough. They are warm and comfortable and lightweight. I'm so thrilled with these I can't believe it. I'm calling them the perfect winter walk boot!

I bought these boots online without the opportunity to try out in store (COVID). My normal size is 8.5 so I sized up to 9. With athletic or ski socks, the fit is perfectly comfortable. With super thin socks, there is a little more movement due to the boot fitting more loosely (due to my sizing up). The boots don't make my feet feel ginormous. I also have the Shellista style boots that are a clunkier style and weigh more. What was the most pleasant surprise with these boots is the soft faux fur collar that surrounds the insides of the boot to hung your ankles and also extends down to cover the top half of your feet, creating a super soft feel when you wear them. I haven't fully broken these in but they feel amazing and I can't imagine getting any blisters from these! Feels like a dream! Not sure I would wear these in slushy, melty snow conditions and need to wait for the next snow storm to really test water/snow and stain resistance. Overall, love these boots and would buy again!

They may run a bit small but I did not need to size up. I got the new taupe green and they are not overly green. They are perfect and so warm & comfortable.

Got these for Christmas and they are exactly as pictured and described. Super warm, comfy and true to size. Would buy again and again!

Absolutely love these boots. Price is right, fit and comfort are right. Great for everyday wear.

Perfect fit I can normally wear size 91/2 or 10 Got the 10 and they are a great fit. I have wide feet and no problems. They feel comfortable.

I have very high arches which means the top of my foot is usually squeezed by these style boots (ie UGGs etc) unless I get 1-2 sizes up then my foot slides around, but the design on these and the ability to lace up make them fit just perfect. They are extremely comfortable. Not the warmest for the frigid Canadian-40C days but perfect for -15 and up. They are also incredibly stylish and my bonus favourite is that they are perfect to take yo the mountains to sky because the fit superbly with snow pants. I looooove these boots.

Feel good on my problem feet. I like being able to tighten them with the laces. I am normally a size 9 and I sized up to a 10. I was nervous they were going to be too big, but with medium weight socks they fit me perfectly. This is the first pair of boots that do not hurt my feet. I am so excited to wear them.

It's perfect!!

I travel a lot to cold places, and these boots were jus what I was looking for.

I want to start by saying thank you, the boots are for my wife and she is delighted with the boots have a nice design and others are very comfortable and very soft.

Will use it to walk around Osaka & Tokyo in Dec.

Great lite weight boots. Comfortable
