They boots have a wide opening and a short length. My son put them on and we could barely tighten the top up around his leg, He played in the snow and when he came in he had snowballs of snow in the boot. His ankles were icicles. What a HUGE disappointment. These are better off as rain boots.

We have had these boots for 2 YEARS now. No broken string as other poster had. These are a daily worn item for 2 seasons now. Feet stay warm in -10 (I don't like them to play outside colder then that). They have totally held up. I love that they are slip on and that there is NO inner liner that gets scrunched up or lost. They are icy water proof as well... tested out! Another problem I have had with other boots is that your feet sweat and then your toes get cold... not a problem with these. Worth the money for sure. I'm a working mom with 3 kids and these are worth the money if your kid wears them every day.

Only thing I would like to see is that North Face make them a little higher up on the calf.

Just moved to Western Michigan and wanted to be prepared for the snow so bought "top notch" equipment for my kids. Overall I have been dissatisfied with the Snow Plough Pull-On Boots. One pair had the pull string break with no apparent way to fix, and the boots do not appear to be waterproof as advertised.

I purchased these Snow Plough Pull-on Boots for my active 7-year-old son. We just had our first snowfall in New York, and I'll tell you after two days of playing in the snow, I can't use the old "Your feet are getting soaked it's time to go home" line. These boots are amazing, the warmth and dryness that they provide is unparalleled to anything else that I have purchased in the past. I am considering getting them in larger sizes to stockpile (so I'll have reserves when he gets older and out grows the current ones). Once again, thanks for outstanding customer support.
