The North Face Greenland Zip Boot - Women's - 2008 BCS

I love these boots! North Face has always made excellant products....and these boots are another reason why I love North Face!

I just received these boots and they were perfect in almost every way. I walked the dog five miles through packed snow, ice and drifts and I had no problem with traction. My feet were wonderfully warm and comfortable despite the -20 temperature. However, the side zip makes for an almost ski boot feel on the shin area. There is no shin 'give' that a front closure might offer. I found that the top front of the boot had chafed my shins raw. I will, unfortunately, be returning these boots.

I ordered this boot just like everyone, reading the reviews, wondering what will happen when I receive it. Will it fit? Will it be warm? What to expect, are the reviews true? Let me tell you, I live in Florida, hmmm not much snow here. I went to Colorado Breckenridge this Thanksgiving and me, a FL girl needs to stay warm. These boots were made for it!!! Awesome!!! Walked on snow, ice, water!! nothing will get through them!! They are very comfortable, look fashionable, keep you dry and warm. I ordered them 1/2 bigger and do that for sure. You need to be able to put a sock inside. I was wearing my snowboarding socks and it was perfect. Do not order 8 if your shoe size is 8, order 81/2 its a must.
I highly recommend it!!!!

This is a warm and functional boot for most winter conditions. Traction on packed snow is excellent. I have trouble keeping fingers and toes warm during our subzero winters, so I'm always on the lookout for warm mitts and boots. I bought these a half size larger than usual so that I could wear a couple layers of thermal socks. The boots do a pretty good job in -20 degree conditions as long as I am working my toes. With the side zips, they are easy to get on and take off. While providing solid ankle support for trudging through snow (especially while strapped to snowshoes), they are not clunky or awkward. They are completely waterproof--even in slush or heavy, wet snow. The fur collars are a stylish accent when you tuck in your pantlegs. If you want the boots to have less presence, wear boot cut pants and, with a little effort, you can work your pantlegs over the boots.

After getting hit by so many snow storms this year (and not to mention our driveway is a hill), I had to buy a good pair of boots. These keep my feet cozy and warm and look cute too. They are easy to put on which is a must. They feel a little clunky and it is slightly awkward driving with them which is why I didn't give them five stars. Despite that, though, I would buy them again.

i needed a good pair of winter boots for chicago winters. after researching and reading many reviews, i decided on north face for their prices (a tad more reasonable than some other popular "winter boot" brands), style, and reliability. i have wide feet so went with a half size larger. the boots fit fine and weren't as stiff in the ankles as i expected. the first try on was a tad tight but i broke 'em in quickly. i have to wear thicker socks mostly because one of my feet is smaller than the other and it's what i need for my foot to fit into the boot correctly. i have yet to go through deep snow (the kind covering my feet) to find out if they're water proof (very important), but i feel confident they will do the job!

Side note: i was also pleased there was no shipping charge on my order, the order came very quickly, and the product is under warranty for one year.

These were too stiff & constraining for me, even though I purchased 1/2 size larger than usual. Only thin socks fit in the boot!!!

Got such a good price at SAC that I didn't want to return them. So first I tried my daughter...she didn't like the fit either. Then I had my mom try them on. She loved them but literally couldn't walk in them after a few minutes...too stiff, heavy, & plus they were rubbing her shins. Both wear the same size as me & have narrow feet.

So, I had to return them, which was very expensive, even by ground mail since they need a huge box & are beyond heavy.

By comparison,TNF Nuptse Fur II are more comfortable than slippers but not protective or very supportive. So they are great for short, casual outings only.

From now on, I will only purchase apparel from TNF! Their forte is NOT BOOTS, at least not for my family's feet!!!

They are everthing I was looking for . I just love them. They are warm and very comfortable. They are a very good buy.

The boots are really sturdy, and solid. I like them a lot, but they are SUPER tight. I returned them. The side zip is nice, but it makes them a lot tighter. I ended up getting another pair of north face taht tied instead which made a huge difference. The boots seem warm though, very nice, and true to the look on the site. I think they run small. I wear a 6.5 and got a 7 and they were still too small for my foot with a winter sock on.

I've had these boots for the last two seasons and they are fantastic for shoveling after a foot or so of snow. I wear smartwool socks in them. I don't even use the zippers although they usually suck my socks off if I don't. I throw them on in the winter for early morning shoots that don't take me too far into the wilderness. I don't recommend them for hiking. Nice for around town.

This is an awsome boot. Warm and true to size. Love them no more cold feet.

It snowed all afternoon and into the night last night but I wasn't afraid of the walking commute or even gearing up to trek to dinner. These boots keep me dry and warm. LOVE THEM!

I am a huge fan of North Face boots. However, this pair was a disappointment. The boot runs at least 1/2 size short. It's also a very stiff boot.

I got a size 8 (I normally wear an 8) and they fit great, but they are snug an my toes go numb after a while. I'm worried if i return them and get an 8.5 that my foot may slip in the back or slide while walking. Do these shoes break in and stretch a little, or should I return for the 8.5?

I liked how warm the boots were, but they were stiff and would rub my shins so I had to return them.

I have been looking for boots for sometime now, and came across these and I absolutely love them! They are really solid, great fit, and ready for all weather! I recommend these to those who love the outdoors!

These boots are one of the warmest boots I've ever owned. Waterproof and tromping around in the mud they have great tread. Thanks North Face & Backcountry!

My hubby got me a pair of these and they are the best snow boots I've ever had - super warm, sturdy and best of all, easy to get on and off with all your snow gear on. He thinks I don't like them because I won't wear them to the grocery store when it snows, but they are just too warm. However, they are perfect for what they are intended for and I would highly recommend them! They will go under regular pants/jeans easily too, which is great for winter resort town wear.

Very warm. Very snug, a little difficult to get off even with zipper . Sole is rockered for easy walking.

First off, I would never drive in these boots. They are a bit stiff and remind me of ski boots at first but after a couple of minutes they don't feel as clunky. Still, too stiff to manage gas/brake pedals. That same stiffness makes them feel GREAT in the snow. My feet don't feel like they're sliding and my ankles are well-supported. I ordered a half size larger and they fit perfectly. The tread pattern is comfortable to walk on and feels secure on snow. I've had many boots over the years and usually end up disappointed with their warmth after an hour or two. When you've trudged all the way to the sledding hill, who wants to give up after an hour because of cold feet? These are warm, and they STAY warm! I like to tuck my pants in when I'm just walking but I can also get my pants down over the top when I'm playing, to keep the snow out of the top. If they made a little taller model I'd buy those, too. I've recommended these to my friends.

Two days ago received almost two feet of snow with blowing and drifting snow, very cold temps. Being a nurse I was of course snowed in at work for 3 days. These boots kept my feet dry and very warm while outside for some fresh air. Will buy North Face again. Although a little stiff to drive home in, I do believe this will resolve its self with wear.

Live in Chicago and these do keep my feet warm and dry. Ordered half size larger and glad I did. Have narrow feet and these fit fairly well except a bit loose in the heels even with a bulky sock, but manageable. Shins are stiff as others have said--make sure to wear socks tall enough to cover this area or you may experience some chafing as I initially did. These are sturdy and I expect them to last for years. Overall a good value for the money

I got these about a month ago and love them. They are so, so warm and my feet are always cold. Your feet stay completely dry. They are a little heavy, but not enough that it bothered me. I needed to order a half size larger than I usually wear. I feel that they are worth every dime.

Got these for the mrs. she's from california and has complained for a year about the north east cold. she's in love with them since day one. Says they keep her feet warm in the coldest condtions and have yet to allow a drop of water inside during rain or snow. She's only 95lbs and says they are a little heavy to wear all the time but for a regular size person i'm doubting the weight to be noticable. From her comments I say they were an excellent choice thus far.

My feet are always cold and I have owned many pairs of winter boots. When you wear these boots, it actually feels like there is a heater in them. Your feet stay toasty warm and don't sweat. Love them! Best money I ever spent & will never buy another brand or style of winter boots to keep my feet warm. Great tread, comfortable, and look good. I have a black pair. I feel they run small. I wear size 8 in boots & I had to buy a size 9 in the greenland zip boot.

Wow, these boots are amazing. Super cute, lightweight and very comfy. They definitely fit true to size; I'm an 8 normally, and thats what I bought. Definitely have enough room to wear medium thickness winter socks, and while the shin is stiff it's not uncomfortably so (plus, you need the support when walking on ice!). I have high arches and narrow feet so I definitely like the side zip to get them on, but have lots of room inside with thin socks. They look so cute tucked into jeans! As always, reliable and fast shipping.

I sure wish TNF made wider shoes! Otherwise these boots would have been perfect. I read all these reviews before buying and suspected this might be an issue. I even ordered 1/2 size larger but my feet were still squished. Shin/calf fit was loose on me and let in a lot of air. Pluses: Tread is bomber; easy in-out of boot; soft insoles; warm!

So far these boots are the best ever. They keep me as warm as I will get . They fit so comfy and lets not forget the syle. A Great Winter Boot.
MUST TRY

I live in Chicago and bought it in Feb.On the coldest winter night, I walked along the magnificent mile and my feet were nice and toasty! I have it in a 6 and they are well worth the price. My toes were a little numb from the tightness at first BUT this is great for easy slip-on and provides great grip on icy sidewalks. I just wanted to know how I can clean them tho and put the chipped paint back on from the logos in the front...

Very nice,solid and also warm. Fit well with thinner socks(medium), not heavy thick wool socks. Easy in and out. I weared to walk my dogs in the woods with thick snow. These shoes might feel heavy but solid, they will last you a long time. You get your money worth.

They are too tight and too hard to get on. We are going to return them unfortunately.
