So cute

Ok, so I don't have my own pair but my friend does and I got to borrow them once and I fell in love with them. They are super comfy and cute so you can have some style still in a big Tahoe snow storm.

My calves are 16" around - the measurements say the shaft

My calves are 16" around - the measurements say the shaft is 15" circumference. Is that the outside or how big can fit? I know they're lace up so theoretically they fit everyone but would there be a gap between the tongue and the boot shaft if I wore them?

I ended up getting them and they fit well, haven't tried them in the snow yet but I'm not worried - I think it'll be fine, there's no gap.

I love having versatile beautiful shoes and The North Face Alana Boots fullfill both requirements.
Great and ultra comfy design makes from Alana a suitable shoe for going out for dinner and a walk on the beach during the cold and rainy season.
Easy to clean and light weight makes it perfect for outdoors weekends.

Super cute

By:

These Boots are super cute and warm but they won't keep you dry. They lace up and water and snow can get right in. The tounge is not connected to the rest of the boot. Also, you can't fit anything wider than leggings or skinny jeans into them. If you want a stylish winter boot, this is it, but don't plan on trecking through the elements!

Staying dry in the snow is one thing but how do these boots hold

Staying dry in the snow is one thing but how do these boots hold up in really wet conditions, like walking through puddles or tall wet grass?

I've done some puddle jumping in MN with the warm weather having melted a few feet of snow.. The tongue is connected up to the very top part of your foot. After that it's open and water could get in if they aren't tied tightly. My feet stayed dry and warm as I kicked thru slush and standing puddles. Hope this helps.

Warm, comfy, and cute

By:
April 1, 2011

These boots are really cute and soooo comfortable. They work great in snow and wet conditions. The flat bottoms make them slick on ice, but not too bad. They take a while to lace up each time, but it is worth it, as they fit perfectly to your calf each time and are cute with the lacing. These are too thick to wear under pants unless you have really baggy pants below the knee. But cute over pants.These truly are made for cold weather, so they can get hot wearing them inside for a long time, but bearable. I had been looking for a black pair of boots for a long time, and I finally found some I love!

OK so if they are more of a "fashion statement" are they still functional? Meaning warm and protective? I don't mind if it takes a little while to put on the boots as long as they work well as boots, in the snow. Any answer on how tall they measure? Thanks!

They seem to be right under the knee. They are very warm and protective. I have been out in the snow for about an hour at a time and did not get by feet wet or cold.

They are true to size. Super comfy.
And FINALLY a fantastic boot for thin calves!! Because of the laces, they give a great range of calf size.

Hi Marci- I will follow up with a measurement, but they are tall, and come up to the top of the calf.

According to North Face they are waterproof. It doesn't hurt to also waterproof it yourself. I think the suede boots tend to require a little more upkeep than leather.

It definitely takes longer to deal with if you are in a hurry. They are cool looking but you just can't slip them on. They are actually more of a fashion statement than functional.

As cute as they are functional

By:
January 20, 2010

East coast snow got to be over two feet in December and the mid-calf snow boots I was using just weren't cutting it. I saw these online and loved the lacing and the look of the snub-nose rounded toe. Would definitely recommend them. They are true to size - and look good with leggings or skinny jeans tucked in. My only complaint is that I developed a bruise on top of my right foot after walking in them all day - maybe just not broken in yet? Or maybe something about the lacing and fit....

Fantastic boots

By:
January 13, 2010

I needed a stylish pair of boots that were also functional enough to slug around in the snow and rain on a recent trip to NYC. These are my favorite boots ever!!! Super warm and comfortable enough to walk around in for hours, plus cool-looking with the lace up detail.
