Great boot for the price. They are a pretty stiff out of the box, but after about a month of a couple hours a day in ice and snow they are starting to break in. The traction has been great on the ice, sleet and snow I have been tracking through.
Great boots! Very Happy with purchase!

It was a perfect boot for the conditions I was in. I hike in the Adirondacks and these boots kept my feet dry after trekking for over 3 hours in the snow! My feet did get chilly after the hike, but it was in the single digits. I would not say that these boots will go to the extremes of -25 degrees. Wonderful comfort after I took out the stitched labels in the side of the boots.
Boot I wouldn't recommend.

Runs 1/2 size under but I take a size 12 and had to go to 13. The boot doesn't fit well around the ankle laced up all the way or half way. Also it feels very heavy.
Felt good but my feet still got cold.

I bought then for winter hiking. I needed boots to help keep my feet warm. For many years, I have had a problem keeping my hands and feet warm. My feet still got cold but I don't know if I should blame the boot or myself. They were very comfortable from the start. I did some breaking in for a couple of days but I'm not sure I needed to. I went up to the high peaks once since I got them. They were quite comfortable except toward the end of the hike. The right boot seemed to be rubbing against my ankle at times.
But I will have to say that it was better hiking in these boots than hiking with my three season boots.

Needs improved Shoe Lace Guide

The first day I had the boot I broke the shoe lace guides they have for lacing the upper boot. Seems a boot this well made would have an improved lacing guide. Especially since in the cold most people would snug the laces.

Love the quality I've expected from North Face. I was only disappointed with the width of the boot being a little tight. Hoping the width will work itself out. Wearing a light sock at the present but would like a heavier one for anticipated colder wear to be safe.

I love the support and warmth of these boots. The soles are stiff enough that I don't feel the snowshoe bindings grinding the balls of my feet, but flexible enough to be comfortable bare-booting and even driving my car.
Great stuff, I have no complaints with them.
