Customer Reviews The North Face Shellista II Mid

These are brand new boots, constantly a puddle in both shoes after walking in light snow( not sweat). Very disappointing purchase after thinking I bought a good pair of winter boots

I went against my better judgement and bought these despite the reviews about warmth. They are very comfortable and look nice, but I was out for about 15 minutes when the cold toes started. I couldn't imagine being out in really, cold snowy weather in these. You can feel the cold all across the top by the toes. Super disappointing.

I never read reviews before I buy something but in the case of these boots I wish I had've. Currently on hold for warranty department, 1st problem is the boots do not keep your feet warm at all, 2nd problem the rubber on my heel is torn apart, only 2nd season and hardly warn. I don't like wearing them because my feet FREEZE!!! Look great if you're wearing them inside but outside even to/from car/office terrible, terrible boot. I'm disappointed I bought these boots and paid a lot of money for them.

These boots are horrible! I live in northern Wisconsin where it's cold and snowy all the time. These boots actually freeze my toes when it's 35 degrees out! I swear I could wear sneakers and my toes would be warmer. They look cute, but they're absolutely horrible!

These boots don't keep my feet warm at all! I live in Madison, WI and I've been wearing these boots everyday, but they don't keep my feet warm...which is the whole point of wearing boots! After 5 minutes outside in the snow my toes are FREEZING. The top of the boot also sunk down and now rubs on the tops of toes so I get blisters and hot spots. Going to return them ASAP.

-14 deg Celcius and my toes were freezing!!! Do not disregard those who said that it can not stand the cold weather because they were true! I wouldn't usualy write reviews but I have to to warn you. I only bought it end of December and was tested it fully just this weekend when I stayed outdoor for over 30 mins. If your weather is up to 0 deg then buy these but if not - Don't waste your money on these boots !!!

I bought a winter boot (WOMEN SHELLISTA II MID BOOTS) at the end of November 2017. It did not stand the cold, even saying that it contains 200g of insulation. The worst thing is that today (03/Feb/2018), when taking off the boot I noticed that both feet are uncurled in the part between the rubber and fabric, in the back. I'm definitely very disappointed.

Is it winter? Is it below 30 degrees F outside? Then don't bother with these boots. Northface has done some serious false advertising with these because they don't act as insulated winter boots at all. They are glorified rain boots. They are not insulated below the ankle at all and your toes WILL freeze in winter weather. You might as well be wearing rubber rain boots in the snow, they might even be warmer! As soon as I get to work I have to take them off and hold my toes to thaw them because they HURT and are numb. I wear 3 pairs of sock with them, one of them being wool mountaineering socks, and they still can't keep my feet warm. If your "winter" boots aren't insulated in the foot you should not be allowed to advertise them as winter boots. It's dangerous.

Maybe I got a defective pair (although based on other recent reviews, I'm not sure about that) but I can LITERALLY feel the cold air blowing in over my toes. And I don't mean at -20C, I mean at 0C. I am going to try to return them to the third party store where I bought them as completely useless for winter in a place that actually gets winter.

Do not purchase if you live above the mason Dixie line! Toes cold within a few minutes of use in below freezing weather. They were fine for walking around slushy streets in Philly around 30 degrees, but not suitable for using in ur snow or colder temps.

I have owned North Face products before and I have never had an issue, thus I chose to buy these boots. Worse decision ever, after about a month of wearing them, my feet are always wet and cold! I unfortunately bought these through a 3rd party company onsale before the winter season begain thus my 60 days have passed and cannot return them, what a waste of money considering I now have to but another pair of winter boots to finish off the winter season. Will no longer be buying North Face products. Don't waste your money like I did.

Too small. I wear size 7. Order size 7 too small hurts your foot.

These were so cute and warm at first, but the quality is poor and sadly these were not durable enough for a east coast winter. The soles of both started to separate from the upper boot -- where the rubber deteriorated at the stitching after only one season of infrequent Philly-snow walks, leaving my feet cold and wet. I take good care of my boots, rinsing them after walks over salted sidewalks and storing them properly. I had to send them back and will take 6-8 weeks for repairs. The return process is very old fashioned, uncertain and inconvenient. Like, are the boots warranted or not? Will I get them repaired, replaced or my money refunded??? Who knows. Very disappointed, had to share my experience.

I got these last winter. Within three weeks of pretty regular wear the sole had started to detach, exposing my socked feet to cold snow and slush puddles. Hoping this was a fluke I sent them back and received a new pair from North Face (took six weeks). However, within a few months of less regular wear (it wasn't really snowing by the time a received the new pair) the same issue happened. These are poorly made. I tried to fix the problem with shoe goo, but eventually gave up as the detaching sole paved the way for cracks along the heel. I will not be buying North Face boots again.

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.

According to the Find your fit feature my size would be a 7. Well, I wish I had bought an 8 or nothing at all, because the 7.5 was a very deceiving fit. Yes, my feet do go in easily, and from the quick walk around the store I wasn't able to tell they'd be uncomfortable later on while walking around in the snow. The 'roof' of the shoe has a weird curvature towards the tip, which kept pushing down the toenail of both my big toes, eventually causing considerable pain. They're also not very warm. The minute I stepped outside my feet were cold. I own other winter boots and I can tell the difference. Basically, the only thing these boots have going on is that they're super cute, reason for which I had been chasing them since November, waiting for the right moment to buy them on sale; and I'm really glad I was patient, because otherwise if I had paid full price, I would be extremely angry right now. I can only hope to be able to break them in quick, but what I really really want is my money back :/ This just comes to show looks isn't everything. Watch what you buy!

I bought these boots after reading reviews and seeing how much people liked them. Not sure if I got a very poorly made pair or if the people giving reviews aren't actually in snow, but these boots are anything but waterproof. I wore these yesterday and this morning and my toes are wet and cold. I expected much better from this company but my boots are not keeping me warm or dry. Do not buy if you are going to be in snow.

I love these boots so much! I would give a 5-star but my dog ate my shoelace on the Desert Palm Brown/Balsam Blue ones and customer service says they don't carry those laces. Which seems ridiculous. Why wouldn't you have extra laces, especially when they are part of the overall design of the boot!?! So now I can't wear them until I find a lace to match.

Spoke with the warranty department today to explain that the boots do not live up their claims about being "ideal for icy, cold commutes". I wore them once in -10 degree weather to quickly realize that they did not keep my feet warm at all! I was told that I have to pay the return shipping and there is a chance that they won't even be replaced. Needless to say, I'm very upset. This will be my last North Face purchase and I will be sure to share my negative experience with friends.

Bought these boots to commute with and the rubber part of the boot nearly ripped completely off from the rest of the boot. These boots barley lasted one winter.

I found these boots comfortable and cute; however, they do not keep your feet warm at all, so do not purchase these if you are looking for an all weather winter boot. I have worn them twice in snow and once just around, and in all occasions my feet were FREEZING within 15 minutes; even with thick wool socks. On inspecting the inside of the boot, I found a 1/4" gap btwn the insole and the toe of the boot where there is literally no insulation at all, and I believe this is why my toes get so cold. This is a very disappointing design fail by North Face!

I am so disappointed. I Love The North Face but as an ECE, I am outside three hours a day with Kindergartners and I actually had to call them in because my feet were hurting from the cold. I had to put my old North Face boots on which are ripped and ragged but were still better than these ones. I did not need a pair of " cute" boots I needed a pair of The amazing North Face boots I am used to. I hold this company to very high standard and they have always since now been able to meet it. Because I was honest with the store I had bought them from and I am now stuck with a pair of expensive boots that serve no purpose but being " cute" .

Bought these boots a few weeks ago. I have worn them about 5 times so far, they were fine when it was warmer out. Once there was snow on the ground it took less than 5 minutes for the rubber to get cold and lose all of the heat in them. Within 15 minutes my toes were completely numb and had to go back inside to warm up again. I even had thermal socks on. Once I took them off the entire inside of the boots were soaking wet just from walking around in the snow. First and last pair of Northfaces. Not nearly enough quality for the money.

I wouldn't purchase this again. Bought this based on reviews but it looks like I have on clown shoes. Should've gotten the purna ones
