WOMEN’S SHELLISTA II MID BOOTS

They look stylish and cute but they are definitely NOT for winter! I only used them for walking around on a 3C weather (with some snow) and within an hour my toes were frozen even with my wool socks on. I wanted to love them as they have such great cushioning for your heels. Perfect height too and kept my ankles/calves warm but then again, not my toes. I wish I could return them. It's a waste of money if you're looking for a real winter boot.

I love these boots, perfect for winter but would not be my first choice for say walking in deep snow. Cute and comfortable.

This boot was recommended to me by a friend as a comfortable and warm snow boots. I've had it for six months, I'd say it's not my go to winter/snow boots. I've had to deal with a lot of sores and blisters. Sometimes it does let water in and does not keep the toes warm. It feels bulky-more like I'm dragging my feet while wearing it. I thought of going a size down but its was just too tight with little/no room for socks. Not the best boots for winter however, it is stylish and I love the chestnut color.

I am extremely disappointed in the warmth of these boots especially in the toe area. I wore these twice in the snow with heavy socks (socks that I wear for skiing) and my toes were freezing. I live in PA & winters are not that extreme but I was out shoveling yesterday and I had to come in after an hour and put another layer of socks on. My toes were red. I'm so disappointed because they are really cute boots and for the price $$ I expected better. I think I will stick with my Columbia boots which I never had this issue with.

Great boot until I wore it out into the snow. Water seeped into my boot and that had made my toes cold. I wasnt happy because I thought north face was the beat boot you could get. So disappointed also its very snug at the ankle and not the most comfortable to walk in for long periods of time. Feel like I'm dragging something. Ugh only thing good is that the boot is cute and the boot keeps your feet very warm in cold weather.

Most snow boots I tried for -30 degree temps in Canada were bulky and so unattractive. This hit the sweet spot of being more stylish, and more importantly, warm and comfortable when hiking up an avalanche in -30 degree snowy weather.

I really like these boots as they're fashionable, comfortable, and waterproof.

I seriously wear these boots everyday. I have had them for two winters walking through calf deep snow and they seem as good as new! They keep my feet so warm and dry.

These aren't quite what I had hoped for warmth wise, specifically in the toes (my ankles are nice and cozy). I live in Northern MN, where the snow rarely melts before March and our temperatures are frequently below zero in the winter. They are quite narrow for snow boots, and I think that might be part of my problem with warmth. They hug my feet just a little too tightly when I wear my very thick wool socks and the cold seeps in. However, I think if I sized up, the length would be too big. I probably will get another warmer pair of boots next year for when I am out of extended periods, and keep these for when I am out and about. (I live in snow boots up here)

As someone that works outside with dogs, they are quite durable and they have great traction in the ice. They also are not quite as heavy as other snow boots I have owned (partially because of their narrow sole) and they look great! As far as running errands and going out they are fantastic. Like I said, I just wish they were a little warmer.

Bottom line: If you are in a climate that generally stays above 20 degrees or looking for boots to walk around town in, I would highly recommend these. If your like me, where temps are frequently below 20 degrees and you are outside for extended periods, I would keep looking.

My wife reports they are comfy and cute - I would agree to the latter. Holding up well to the urban NE winter (if you want to call it that) and keeping feet dry.
