Great Boot

Rating:****

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

Good, warm slip-on for brief wear

Rating:****

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.

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 boots!

Rating:*****

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.

Great Boots

Rating:****

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 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.

He Loves Them

Rating:*****

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.

Ideal Boots

Rating:*****

Bought these just two weeks ago and already love wearing them all the time. The pull on is great for slipping in and out of for around town. They are very warm and do give an ideal grip on any of the surfaces I have used them on

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.
