If your morning exercise involves shoveling three feet of fresh from your driveway, outfit your feet with The North Face Women's McMurdo Boot to keep them dry and warm. The North Face backed the waterproof nubuck leather upper with a HydroSeal waterproof membrane, so you can trudge though tons of the white stuff without getting wet. A faux-fur collar, fleece lining, and PrimaLoft Eco insulation ensure your tootsies stay warm when the mercury drops, and a TNF Winter Grip rubber outsole with Ice Pick lugs keeps you on your feet in front of the neighbors.
Bottom Line: Pull on this boot when it feels like the Antarctic ice sheet out there.
these boots rule. so warm. great traction and comfortable. i have walked for hundreds of miles for weeks at a time as well as just cruising around the city. they are also very low profile for being such a "big" winter boot.
Yay! I've had these little ladies for a couple years now and they're still kickin'. I can snowshoe, shovel, and just tromp around in them and my feet stay warm. I also only need to wear a normal hiking sock; my thick mountaineering socks are too much. My only beef with this shoe is the faux fur around the top and for myself, they could be just a tad higher. These definitely keep the feet dry and comfortable. I have shelved my pac boots and just use these now. Way better.

The boot is well made, should stand up to years of use. Nice looking. Unfortunately have not been able to get a good fit. Have tried 2 different sizes. The North Face sizing recommendations were no help to me. TOO BIG. Thought the 2nd pair fit other than being loose in the heel area. I tried them on with medium weight wool socks. My toes seemed to be crammed into the ends of the boots. A half size larger and my heel would have been swimming. So, I'm disappointed and have sent the boots back.
These boots are awesome! They are quite wide and make you feel like a walking robot, because they are bigger than normal boots, but you're not aiming for fashion here. It's more about function. These are super warm, keep the snow out, and slip-resistant! They are not constricting...ran in the snow for several blocks with my daughter! I'm petite and 5 feet tall and the size was perfect and although I felt like robot girl in the beginning, i broke them in quickly and was comfortable. One caveat...they are difficult to drive in....so wear the fashionable boots to do that :)
a little stiff- not as cushiony on the inside as my wife expected- she returned the boot after exchanging for a largersize- Boot ran a little small too
Just bought these boots for my wifes birthday, right out of the box she fell in love with these boots. She was looking for a pair of boots to withstand the harsh winters of upstate VT. She claims they are very warm, and I think they look really good with a pair of jeans. She plans on using them with her snowshoes. We have not been out yet, but the test fit, fit perfectly.
In my opinion the best 2 brands for snow boots are Sorel and TNF. Between those and amongst the rest I'd say TNF have the best support especially for flat feet.Hope that helps.
I bought these boots for snowshoeing and generally getting around in the snow, which has been generous this year. I like them a lot; they provide great support for walking and snowshoeing. I can fit one or two pairs of warm socks--you'd definitely want two pairs in cold weather. I got 8.5 (I wear an 8 usually). I especially like the good traction they provide--I have a lot more confidence on icy/snowy ground. The fur cuffs do a good job of keeping the snow out. I would recommend these boots.
Field tested & proven! My home in MN got over a foot of snow this weekend and its 4 degrees right now... The McMurdos made it through hours of shoveling snow and are comfortable, waterproof and most importantly, warm! Money well spent~
Replaced a pair of Columbia Boots with these. These are toasty warm and fairly comfortable. First couple of times, the back of the calves was a bit stiff, but that seems to be loosening up a bit now. I wear an 8 and got an 8, and have worn them with one pair of thick socks and that worked out just fine. Arch support is fine which is a big deal for me. I would recommend these boots to anyone.
because celsius and fahrenheit are not the same scale (1 degree F is = to 5/9 degree C) they must converge at some point- and this point is -40...after -40, celsius will be the less negative temperature reading (ie, -50C = -58F).
Just checked a couple other sites... -40F/-40C. Not sure why -40 in both F and C, but I guess at that point it's just cold no matter how you look at it
are awesome! My feet stay warm and have enough support that they dont hurt after walking in them the whole day. Ive walked through snow and puddles and it is for sure waterproof! i love them! Sometimes i wish they were a little taller, though.
these boots invited my feet in they are very cozy and sure can get you through the snow. They are easy to slide on and off the feet even though they are somewhat tall. My only criticism is that they don't allow a lot of ankle movement so I feel a little frankensteiny in them but I can live with that.
Having come off of reconstructive surgery on my right foot, and being a very heavy pronator, I needed to find a boot that would provide comfort and support especially in snow and ice conditions/ post ski. These boots worked well but if you are a heavy pronator, custom orthotics will also be helpful. Boots are true to size, keep you warm, work well in snow and on ice, and are comfortable providing more stability that apres ski boots.
I work in an outdoor setting in wet snow conditions and temps between 40 to -10 degrees. These boots are comfortable, warm, dry but most importantly provide great support. I have tried different brands over the years and these are superior to all the others. Love Them!
So, I never got the McMurdo Jacket because it has a steez factor of about 95 from the ability to hide various weapondry to the multiple XL sizing and the fur... but these boots were an instant buy because they escape a few of those factors by having a gentle, girly pink accent. They are possibly the warmest boots that I have ever worn. The fur makes the cozy-cozy, the intense rubber makes them ultra-waterproof, and the TNF logo means that they are super good quality. Size-wise, I went up a half size (i'm a 7.5/8.0 and bought an 8) so that I can rock huge wool socks. They are my go-to boots for post-skiing and pre-shoveling.
These boots are great. Very warm, keep your feet dry. I haven't had any trouble with the sizing. I wear an 8 and bought an 8. The fit quite comfortably. I can even put on some thick winter socks for extra cold weather. These will definitely keep you feet comfortable in cold, snowy weather. And the traction keeps you vertical in slick conditions.
These boots fit nicely lengthwise and can take one pair of wool... socks. I would prefer a tad more width in the toe area cause i have a medium size foot width.. They are light enough to move around quickly. I don't care for the fur on top and would have preferred black vs the color brown... none were avail. The bad thing is... they only keep me warm to about 15 degrees and if the windchill is not strong. I have no idea who could possibly say they keep you warm to -40??? Ha! No way!!
I don't have a lot of input on these boots yet. I bought them for my mom for christmas and she hasn't had to a chance to tak them in the snow. However, my mom said they are more comfortable than her shoes. Also they are pretty stylish.
these boots rule. so warm. great traction and comfortable. i have walked for hundreds of miles for weeks at a time as well as just cruising around the more...
