Bottom Line: Navigate your way through the trickiest terrain with The North Face Men's Slot GTX Winter Boot.
Obviously they're going to wear out faster on pavement than they will in snow/ice, but these are really durable so expect them to last a very long time regardless!
This is a great versatile boot for walking around town and snowshoeing as well. It has excellent traction on snow, slush, and iceâwith good/fair traction on black ice. The waterproofing works well; I used them in knee deep powder for 2 hours without gaiters and my socks were dryâthough the snow cupped at the top around the ankles so gaiters are needed. I wear normally just wear gym socks and they keep their warmth. I have gotten them down to 5Ë F. The sizing is true, I wear a 9.0 and I have a 9.0 which fits perfect. The two features I like most are that they are very light in weight which helps maintained their comfort when I wore them all day Christmas shopping with my wife at an outdoor mall and they are flexible which is great for snowshoeing. They are not ideal for driving, but still work fine. Breaking is no problem, but when accelerating the boot presses on the back of the calf, so it is uncomfortable 20% but that is mainly only when getting on the freeway. The only real downside is they take about 1 minute to but on and 20 seconds to take off, but other than that I loves these boots.
yes, but watch out for the top of the boot where the laces loop in the plastic grommets might break if they get caught on anything! Mine broke when the boots rubbed up against each other.
Very comfortable boots. Not as heavy as one would think. I've only tested them in 30 degree weather so far and they're very warm. Anything warmer and feet are starting to sweat. The lugs do not last. I've had 4 of lugs on the bottom of the boot just rip off. Not sure if it's a problem with my boots or this just happens to all the boots but that is why i'm ranking it 3 stars. If my feet are warm in -20 degrees this winter then i'll bump the stars to 5 but for now it's only 3.
Great boot warm waterproof.I will say it is better if worn in just snow and not sidewalk or street wear because of the soft compound of the sole.No doubt that this boot is made for lots of snow!!
Way way way more advanced. The LL Bean ones are just day-to-day winter boots, designed for slush, shoveling the driveway, etc. These are stiff enough for crampons or snowshoes, made of more advanced materials, and have hugely better traction. And they're the same price. I'd get these any day.
This boots are great!! In cold weather (near 0 and some ºC below) you feet feel warm enough, and for 20ºC+ you can still use them without sweating. Their lighter than they look. They're very comfortable for long walking on street or over stones, you just don't feel them. Very easy to wear and unwear. Talking about waterproof, it's great, you can get your boot inside water/snow up to the plastic laces loop with even a drop of water getting inside the boot. I widely recommend them for either city snow walks, or either light cross country snow walks.
