Customer Reviews The North Face Chilkat V 400 Waterproof

Sloppy unsupported fit. Sized small as I wear a 14 and size 14 was very tight in toe box.

After limited wear, but more than a year, the rubber on my boots broke down (cracked) and the leather tops separated completely from the bottoms. The company said that the rubber broke down because I didn't wear them enough, and took no responsibility for repair or replacement. Oh, and I had to ship them back to TNF for warranty evaluation at my cost ($20). You learn a lot about a company when their products fail. Read the warranty statement: "All of our branded products (except footwear) are covered by a Limited Lifetime Warranty against manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship for the lifetime of the product." "This warranty does not cover damage caused bythe natural breakdown of colors and materials." Does the warranty cover boots at all? I guess not. And notice "lifetime" means "lifetime of the product." I guess when it fails it's exceeded its lifetime.

The boots are warm but in light snow or rain the right side pulls in water and becomes uncomfortable quickly. I also can feel the edges of the insole on one side, it seems they are often installed haphazardly.

Just like all the other reviews, the fit is bad.

Purchased older iteration that failed to be waterproof! This boot is not waterproof! Insulation is a joke. Cold toes after being out in temps below freezing. Do yourself a favor, test the water proof by submerging before use, 15 mins each pair! Guaranteed to not keep out water. Probably same with other boots labeled as waterproof!
