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, and an antimicrobial AgION footbed prevents funk from accumulating.

North Face Arctic Pull On. These boots are the best boots I have ever owned! I live in Montana where the temps get way below 0! Sometimes 40 below. My feet are always warm and never sweat with these boots on. I find them true to size, excellent arch support, comfort and durability is amazing. Able to hike and hunt in steep terrain in ice and snow no problem. North Face size 11 in womens was a little too small for me with thick socks so I went for the 10 mens and they are perfect. I have had these boots before when they were called chilkat pullons and they lasted for 6 years. Your service is amazing. Order placed on Thursday at 2 pm and I received them at one pm the next day and I live out in the middle of nowhere in Montana. I love Zappos. Will buy all my shoes from this company. Customer service is over the top!

Good Warm Shoes - The shoes are stiff. They feel like getting into a ski boot. I like the convenience of a pull-on. I bought these to wear while taking the dog out for a walk in winter since I do not want to fiddle with laces. The boots feel warm and comfortable. Like the other reviewer mentioned, the top of the boots are wide and stiff. I do feel that they run about half size big but it may be intentional to allow for thick winter socks or alternately you can tuck your pants in. There is no arch support so you might want to get some supplemental support. There is no flex in the soles or the bottom. This review is based on three day use (walked around 10 - 12 miles).

Great looking shoes, but... These shoes look decent and certainly have the sturdy and well constructed aspect to it. However, I made the mistake of wearing thin socks on a 45 minute walk - the result was pain and agony. Because the top of these boots are made of suede, you certainly need a good amount of protection near that area. Thick, long socks and maybe even tucking your pants inside the boots would be ideal. Other than that, the boots feel very bulk and you can especially feel the bulkiness when walking up/down the stairs. In terms or warmth and protection, these boots are top notch. In addition, the soles provide an above average traction, but still I would hesitate to recommend these boots.

The dog loves them too....

I'd been looking for a warm winter boot that I could sling on quickly on those cold mornings: tying laces at 5.15am gets old in a hurry, especially with an impatient puppy in the mix. These boots are a perfect blend of utility, warmth and comfort. I suspect that they may be not be ideal for long walks in the winter, though this I've not yet tested, but that's really not their intended purpose. For routine winter use -- hopping from home to car to work, and everything in between, these are perfect. Note on sizing: I ordered a WHOLE size larger (10.5) than I usually wear (9.5).

Good boot

Rating:****

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.

great boots

Rating:****

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.

Great Boot - I am planning a ski trip in February and needed a new pair of boots. I was able to find what I needed quick and easy on Zappos.com. Perfect fit and just the style I was looking for (and the price was great too). Delivery was fast. I am sold on Zappos.com and will buy all my shoes here from now on. Thanks.

GREAT BOOT

Rating:*****

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.

Nice

Rating:*****

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.

Good as it gets

Once again, North Face has delivered a quality product. Well constructed and fashionable, this boot is perfect for running out to the car, to the store or as work boot. Extreme outdoors it is not. Combine it with a good wool socks and your feet will stay warm throughout the winter.

Negative Reviews:

Convenient, but crappy quality

Rating:**

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.

Warm, Convenient, Rub wrong.

Rating:***

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.
