Comments about TheNorthFace MEN'S BALLARD 6" BOOT:
Nothing beats these ballards except they only come in the 6" version now. There used to be a better AWNB style which were 2 inches longer. I am hoping to see the AWNB STYLE available again.

Comments about TheNorthFace MEN'S BALLARD 6" BOOT:
Really happy these are back in stock! Had a pair for 5 years or so that were finally wearing out and had been looking for over a year for these.
I am very hard on these boots, I use them for ranch work, construction, hiking, sloping through the mud... they have been going strong for over 5 years.
My only gripe is these new ones don't have the padded wool collar around the ankle and can bite a bit when you step at an awkward angle.
Otherwise totally happy I have new ones to replace my old ones

Comments about TheNorthFace MEN'S BALLARD 6" BOOT:
In the past most comfortable boot ever. Not now it's made narrower in width. Really uncomfortable now. Sent them back after trying two pair. Sad! Cost cutting measures I guess?

These shoes are worth every penny you'll spend on them. Just wish The North Face will sell the AWNB version again. Hiking and Urban wear.

Comments about TheNorthFace MEN'S BALLARD 6" BOOT:
I've worn out three pairs of these boots, they are excellent, but haven't been available in the UK for years. I hope that the new stock makes it over to Europe so I can replace my worn out boots

Comments about TheNorthFace MEN'S BALLARD 6" BOOT:
So happy to see these boots back in production. I've had my current pair for 6 years and they're still holding up! Very comfortable, dry, and ideal for "urban hiking", getting around the city in cold, slushy, snowy days while maintaining a timeless hiking-boot look. Grip is excellent too.
My only beef is the light coloured soles. They dirty VERY easily, especially with dirty snow-slush. Initially I'd clean them as often as I could before giving up and accepting they they'll look filthy no matter what.
It's a small gripe but something to consider if you're obsessed with fresh looking kicks.

Comments about TheNorthFace MEN'S BALLARD 6" BOOT:
If these are the same ones I bought 5 years ago and no changes were made, then these boots are built to last. I wait to write reviews to give the truth. If I'm not wearing sandals I'm wearing these for the last five years.

Comments about TheNorthFace MEN'S BALLARD 6" BOOT:
I bought the black (and blue laced) pair the first season they were available and loved them so much I picked up a tan pair right away. I don't remember what year those purchases were made, but they made it through years of daily wear- tough fall and winter weather. They traveled to Korea with me for three consecutive winters and saw miles of urban and not-so-urban use abroad and at home. Most comfortable hiking boots I've ever owned. If the soles didn't go first, both pairs would still be with me. Waterproof, warm and reliable and still getting compliments to their end, finally had to let them go in late 2017. Always been scouring the internet looking for more since production ended with no luck. Finally decided to give up the search this year and move on until I walked into TNF and there they were, back in production and quickly back on my feet. North Face, you've got a good thing going here. Durable and good looking, comfortable out of the box and a dream once broken in- only wish they could be rebuilt when the soles are done and the rest of the boot is full of life. Hard to let them go.

Love these boots ... for well and are really comfortable. I bought the black and they go good with jeans and look stylish as well. Not an insulated boot or anything but a nice comfortable hiking boot.
