I ordered this boot just like everyone, reading the reviews, wondering what will happen when I receive it. Will it fit? Will it be warm? What to expect, are the reviews true? Let me tell you, I live in Florida, hmmm not much snow here. I went to Colorado Breckenridge this Thanksgiving and me, a FL girl needs to stay warm. These boots were made for it!!! Awesome!!! Walked on snow, ice, water!! nothing will get through them!! They are very comfortable, look fashionable, keep you dry and warm. I ordered them 1/2 bigger and do that for sure. You need to be able to put a sock inside. I was wearing my snowboarding socks and it was perfect. Do not order 8 if your shoe size is 8, order 81/2 its a must.
I highly recommend it!!!!

This is a warm and functional boot for most winter conditions. Traction on packed snow is excellent. I have trouble keeping fingers and toes warm during our subzero winters, so I'm always on the lookout for warm mitts and boots. I bought these a half size larger than usual so that I could wear a couple layers of thermal socks. The boots do a pretty good job in -20 degree conditions as long as I am working my toes. With the side zips, they are easy to get on and take off. While providing solid ankle support for trudging through snow (especially while strapped to snowshoes), they are not clunky or awkward. They are completely waterproof--even in slush or heavy, wet snow. The fur collars are a stylish accent when you tuck in your pantlegs. If you want the boots to have less presence, wear boot cut pants and, with a little effort, you can work your pantlegs over the boots.

I've had these boots for the last two seasons and they are fantastic for shoveling after a foot or so of snow. I wear smartwool socks in them. I don't even use the zippers although they usually suck my socks off if I don't. I throw them on in the winter for early morning shoots that don't take me too far into the wilderness. I don't recommend them for hiking. Nice for around town.

These boots are one of the warmest boots I've ever owned. Waterproof and tromping around in the mud they have great tread. Thanks North Face & Backcountry!

I just received these boots and they were perfect in almost every way. I walked the dog five miles through packed snow, ice and drifts and I had no problem with traction. My feet were wonderfully warm and comfortable despite the -20 temperature. However, the side zip makes for an almost ski boot feel on the shin area. There is no shin 'give' that a front closure might offer. I found that the top front of the boot had chafed my shins raw. I will, unfortunately, be returning these boots.

I have been looking for boots for sometime now, and came across these and I absolutely love them! They are really solid, great fit, and ready for all weather! I recommend these to those who love the outdoors!

My hubby got me a pair of these and they are the best snow boots I've ever had - super warm, sturdy and best of all, easy to get on and off with all your snow gear on. He thinks I don't like them because I won't wear them to the grocery store when it snows, but they are just too warm. However, they are perfect for what they are intended for and I would highly recommend them! They will go under regular pants/jeans easily too, which is great for winter resort town wear.

I live in Chicago and bought it in Feb.On the coldest winter night, I walked along the magnificent mile and my feet were nice and toasty! I have it in a 6 and they are well worth the price. My toes were a little numb from the tightness at first BUT this is great for easy slip-on and provides great grip on icy sidewalks. I just wanted to know how I can clean them tho and put the chipped paint back on from the logos in the front...

I sure wish TNF made wider shoes! Otherwise these boots would have been perfect. I read all these reviews before buying and suspected this might be an issue. I even ordered 1/2 size larger but my feet were still squished. Shin/calf fit was loose on me and let in a lot of air. Pluses: Tread is bomber; easy in-out of boot; soft insoles; warm!

These were too stiff & constraining for me, even though I purchased 1/2 size larger than usual. Only thin socks fit in the boot!!!

Got such a good price at SAC that I didn't want to return them. So first I tried my daughter...she didn't like the fit either. Then I had my mom try them on. She loved them but literally couldn't walk in them after a few minutes...too stiff, heavy, & plus they were rubbing her shins. Both wear the same size as me & have narrow feet.

So, I had to return them, which was very expensive, even by ground mail since they need a huge box & are beyond heavy.

By comparison,TNF Nuptse Fur II are more comfortable than slippers but not protective or very supportive. So they are great for short, casual outings only.

From now on, I will only purchase apparel from TNF! Their forte is NOT BOOTS, at least not for my family's feet!!!

Very nice,solid and also warm. Fit well with thinner socks(medium), not heavy thick wool socks. Easy in and out. I weared to walk my dogs in the woods with thick snow. These shoes might feel heavy but solid, they will last you a long time. You get your money worth.

The boots are really sturdy, and solid. I like them a lot, but they are SUPER tight. I returned them. The side zip is nice, but it makes them a lot tighter. I ended up getting another pair of north face taht tied instead which made a huge difference. The boots seem warm though, very nice, and true to the look on the site. I think they run small. I wear a 6.5 and got a 7 and they were still too small for my foot with a winter sock on.

So far these boots are the best ever. They keep me as warm as I will get . They fit so comfy and lets not forget the syle. A Great Winter Boot.
MUST TRY

They are too tight and too hard to get on. We are going to return them unfortunately.
