I love these boots!

By J.R. Ranked #40 - Men's Winter Boots and Shoes February 15, 2007

I bought these boots because of their "hiking boot" appearance, which I thought would allow me to use them for a broader variety of cold weather applications than my trusty "snow boot" Sorels. What I didn't expect was for the the North Face boots to perform so well in so many varied conditions. I have used the boots in temperatures ranging from 60 degrees down into the single digits and have found the boots to be quite comfortable throughout the entire temperature spectrum and as an added bonus they're totally waterproof. One of the most surprising features is how supportive they are given there light weight and great insulative properties. I have used them for overnight snow camping trips in the Sierras while carrying a light pack (25 lbs) and they have performed flawlessly- I wouldn't try carrying a pack with my Sorels, they're just not supportive enough. Good job North Face- these boots are serious performing snow boots without the typical "snow boot" appearance. I use them nearly everyday in the Winter months whether I'm strolling the paved streets in the snow/rain or in the backcountry looking for a new adventure... a definite 5 on the ranking!
