The North Face Chilkats Winter Boot - Men's - 2008

Great boots, comfortable for winter hiking and mountaineering, waterproof, and warm. Great for winter but once its gets to the upper 40s and into the 50s these are way to warm for me. But I hiked in snow and below 0 conditions and my feet were never cold and were nice and dry.

Excellent boot for midwest weather (Ohio)/warm and very waterproof/fits alittle tight but I like that since my foot is thin. I definitely recoimmend.

I love these boots. They're very comfortable and very warm (sometimes too warm). I don't use them to hike as I have proper hiking boots for that, they'd be fine for short hikes in cold weather. I use them walking around in the snow or on the way to the mountain to ride. I had to buy a pair for my dad, they're that good. So comfortable you'll never want to take them off.

north face have it all go...

Very warm, very waterproof, great grip, and really comfortable. Work great as standard snow boots. They work decently for cold-weather hiking with or without snow, though they're on the heavy side. Overall, a great boot for the price, definitely recommended.

Frankly, these boots, in my humble opinion, suck. As a Vermonter these just dont' make the grade. They are NOT waterproof. My feet are within minutes of being in the snow. They are thus, not warm either. They are great looking boots and definitley light weight which means you can wear them comfortably all day..if of course you plan on being indoors all day. They run a bit on the small side. Truly, I expected much more from North Face. The soles pealed back the rubber cracked the insdie fabric of the boots deteriorated quickly. If you live in the NorthEast, these are not the boots for you!

I bought a pair and they were great. Very comfortable, warm, and they looked great. However, there is a flaw in their construction as the shoe lace loop broke right off the second time I wore them. They were returned for another pair, and the same thing happened within a week! These boots are not hardy and I'll never go back to Northface for my boot needs.

The boots are sized a half size too small in my opinion. They are also not as warm as they say. My toes were cold.

These boots arrived timely. They are comfortable. I wore them 5 times through the coldest part of the Chicago winter. I was walking through the snow one day and noticed the boots had cracked on the left boot. I will contact backcountry and see if they will exchange the boots.

I recently purchased these boots for my team that works out in harsh weather conditions for periods of 8 to 10 hours a day. These boots are excellent for these conditions. They are light and feel like you are wearing sneakers instead of boots.

Amazing shoes... pricey but i'm sure they're gonna last long. Have been using them in snow and so far so good. Warm and heavy, as they should be. And shipping from backcountry was awesome. I ordered the 14 day free shipping but guess what, i got them in 7 days... :) this was my first experience with backcountry, and for this one, its definitely a thumbs up... and another thumbs up for the northface shoes. definitely recommended.

I bought these boots before going to Calgary in December. My feet stayed warm and completely dry! Killer boots! Also good for snow shoeing!

The Chilkats. Great name. These boots from The North Face provide the user with un paralleled warmth in the coldest of winters, and the much needed grippiness on icy parking lots. Not really for hiking, but in a ski town in the winter, these are a key asset.

Good fit, warm, dry, great price. They're perfect for the 2 - 4 hour snowshoe outings I do in the Cascades and Siskiyous in Southwestern Oregon.

For the holidays I bought my other brother these boots after buying a pair last year for one of them and myself. I like them. They are a basic winter boot, nothing "hardcore" but will be fine for shoveling, getting around town and I even use them snowshoeing and my feet stay dry. They are not super warm if you're not being active...i.e. if you're standing around at a parade and it's 5 F outside your feet will get cold. If you're moving around on a walk, you'll be fine.
