Arctic Pull-On Boot - Men's

The North Face Arctic Pull-On Boot is the one boot you'll deem essential this winter. Somewhere in between a comfortable slipper and an expedition-worthy pack boot, the laceless Arctic Pull-On has 200 grams of PrimaLoft Eco insulation to ward off the deepest freeze. A waterproof, seam-sealed Nubuck leather upper keeps the moisture outside and your feet dry. The Winter Grip rubber outsole gives you traction no matter how slick the ground is. Pull it on and head into town even when the mailman has given up.

Bottom Line: The North Face Arctic Pull-On Boot won't let winter slow you down.

Talk shop with all the gear freaks out there: ask 'em questions, upload/browse photos, and give your 2¢.

Almost got what we ordered

By:
April 24, 2011

The shoe's we received didn't match the photo of what was online at Back Country. Several phone calls later this was blamed on North Face, which we fill was wrong. The picture that was online, was the exact same shoe as we saw at REI. That's why we bought it. We believe the shoe we were sent was older.

My husband isn't happy, but he wanted the shoe that was originally on the website. Buyer beware.
When we said the shoe fit, but it wasn't what we bought, and verified by several persons at BackCountry. You would think they would have reduced the price, or something. Its 82 degrees today, so the shoes are brand new, haven't been warn, but we aren't happy. We are big supporters of North Face.

My winter boots that I have made by Northface are stiff too...I have been wearing them around trying to loosen them up...So far they are getting less stiff..I just stand on my toes and bend up and down and jump up and down to get the bend broken in...

Convenient, but crappy quality

By:
December 3, 2008

Great boot as far as slipping them on easily and heading out into the snow...and they look cool. BUT, mine totally wore out on the inside along the heal where you pull the boot on. Liner totally ripped on both boots. Returned them to North Face for repair or replacement and they sent them back about a month later saying "sorry." Went the duct-tape route, which is too bad for an expensive boot.

Hey Bill - If you wear an 11, I would stick with an 11. I think they fit pretty true to size.

Good, warm slip-on for brief wear

By:
January 8, 2010

I slip my foot into these to take my dog out or grab some firewood off the rack. They're great for that. Totally hands-free. Boot stands tall, foot goes in. I wore them to town once, though, and had them on for a few hours and found out the hard way that the shin rubbing issue is legit. I think the stiffness that allows you to slide your foot in without bending down is going to produce that effect, and I'll take it. I'll just take the time to tie my Sorels if I'm heading out for a long time.

One Major Flaw

By:
February 16, 2011

The boot is perfect in every way except one major flaw...The chaffing is a real concern. The material around where the ankle sits is very rough. Instead their should be a more fluffy material. Even if you wear it for short periods of time, comfort is a real concern. Wish their was a fluffy material similar to the inside of uggs boots.

Other than that, the boot is perfect. The stiffness people have commented on is not a concern. This is what allows you to slip the boots on hands free. The boot is very warm, stylish, and waterproof. Wish their was a fluffy material around the ankle, would be the ultimate boot, thinking of sewing some in... common northface, next years version maybe???

Richard,Are you saying you 42 or 43 in Ecco depending on the style, or you don't remember exactly? 42 (8/8.5) order a size 9 in TNF boot43 (9/9.5) order a size 10 in TNF bootIf you wear the Softmoc driver, shoes from the New York series, Seawalker, have extra wide feet, or a really high instep then the Ecco to US sizing won't be as accurate. Usually I will go have size larger from the high end of the Ecco US equivalent.Mahalo, Sumo

Great Boot

By:
January 12, 2010

Overall this a great boot, very warm and comfortable. I had the rubbing issue as well but it is getting better the more I wear them. The boot is a little narrow also hoping that goes away after breaking them in. Very easy to slip on and off, I mostly use them for around town and going up to the local ski resort to snowboard. They look great and are very light, not heavy and bulky compared to other boot I have owned. The soft grips on the sole are perfect for ice and snow, very grippy. Best overall boots I have owned

YES, get a size higher. I wear a 10.5 normally and the 10.5 did not fit but the 11 fits perfectly. Hope that helps a little.

They're not bad boots. They seem to run true to size. You may want to go up 1/2 size only if you're planning on very thick socks. Shoveling snow...... depends on how deep. In Utah at my home we can wake up with 12" or more in the mornings and for that they're not the best. They're not that tall and not the warmest boots. You might want to look at Sorels to see how they might work.Hope that helps.

Great Boots

By:
January 13, 2010

Im a regular 11, and they fit perfect.

I just came back from lake placid NY, and they did a great job keeping my feet warm. Its was below zero most of the time, but it didnt matter. They are dry, warm, and have an excelent traction.

I would definitly recommend them, plus they look great with jeans.

Great boots!

By:
January 10, 2010

In short, these boots are great. I got them as a gift and haven’t stopped wearing them since. They slip on easily, are super warm and look good. I would say they run a little small but that is my only complaint. These are best for walking the dog, getting the paper etc…not for backpacking or any long distance stuff. I have not noticed any of the rubbing mentioned by others.

These fit very true to size so you'd be fine with a 9, but you might consider upping it 1/2 size for thicker socks.Hope that helps.

Good boot

By:
February 16, 2009

Ordered these boots a half size up based upon the reviews and they fit well. They are loose at the top due to no laces for the slip on. They kept my feet extremely warm during a ski trip to CO and kept great traction on the slippery conditions. Definitely need to wear long thick wool socks with these as the front opening will rub your shin bone if you are walking around a lot. They are funcional and look good-- a nice all around boot.

He Loves Them

By:
February 16, 2009

I bought these for my husband because he thought trail shoes were sufficient enough. He loves that they slide on quick and have a decent sized sole so his pants don't get dirty. They are great for walking to work when the sidewalks aren't plowed and shoveling out the car.

GREAT BOOT

By:
February 20, 2009

I purchsed these boots because wool socks were not enough. My feet were freezing in Northern Indiana this winter.
I love them. They keep my warm, they are comfortable, they get good traction. They slip on and off with ease.
This is a great winter boot for keeping your feet warm and dry.

By:

These boots are pretty sweet. I have had them a few days now and they break in quickly. You do need to wear tall socks, and preferably thick ones or layered to make the boot fit snug. Also, they slide around a little bit since they have no tightening straps or anything around the upper. Great casual boot, very warm. Would not use them on serious hiking, but as of yet I have no real complaints.

Kind of stiff at first, but break in quickly. A little snug at first, but also get roomier as you where them. I am a 10.5 and my opinion is they run true to size. Kind of tight at first, but after a full day of use, they are just right.

Warm, Convenient, Rub wrong.

By:
November 9, 2008

Very nice boot. Used to get from hose to car to class. Easy and quick to take off to change into inside shoes. Great shoe. However, they are stiff. If I wear these with short socks (warm enough to), the top of the boot rubs my skin raw. Because they are short, pants that are tucked into them come out, allowing the rubbing to occur. Still a great boot, just need to remember to wear tall socks.
