Customer Reviews The North Face ThermoBall Traction Bootie

I have searched high and low for a pair of slippers that would keep my feet truly warm AND stay on my narrow back heel AND be wide enough in the toe box to not piss off the Morton's Neuroma in my left foot. This slipper wins through and through. Also worth noting, I have Raynaud's and these keep my toes so warm and toasty. It's such a relief to no longer shiver all day. For those wondering, the insoles are removable. I initially put my Aetrex insoles in there, but found the memory foam insoles that come in the shoes are significantly more comfortable. Overall these have serious cushion and serious warmth. I wish I had found these years ago!

actually, my previous review was wrong, since I ordered a size smaller. I returned thesize 9 and received the size 10, my true shoesize. Love these booties. I personally will wear them with a thin sock. Good traction outdoors. and overall very warm. they are true to size ( when you order the right size). Good arch support. Color very nice. A good buy for a versital bootie/slipper. :)

I love these booties! They are perfect for Colorado winters-keeping my feet cozy and dry on a trip outside with the puppy. The non-slip tred on the bottom is an added bonus and hard to find in a slipper.

I think there are probably 20 things in my life that I used for multiple consecutive years and think, "wow, this turned out to be a pretty good buy" - this is one of them. I use them for primarily for low key physical tasks around the house/property, as well as camping (they're fantastic for camping). They're pretty much just sleeping bags with a rubber sole, so the comfy factor is 11/10. That said, because they are basically slippers, THEY'RE DON'T HAVE A LOT OF SUPPORT, NOR ARE THEY GOOD FOR WATER, DEEP SNOW OR LAVA. They're slippers, people, slippers. Stop reviewing these with the assumption they should perform like your cross-trainers or hiking boots. Saw some guy complaining because they didn't hold up in rain - what? Just buy them...unless you expect to hike or play flag football in them. They're awesome.

I loved these and wish that they did not have a very strong musty smell that was so bad it filled a room and gave me a headache…i even aired them out for a couple days outside!

I bought these to wear as slippers around the house. They are comfortable, lightweight and warm. I don’t think they would be very comfortable to wear for long periods outside because there is no arch support. I have the light gray color and I like it very much. These are comfy slippers and definitely serve the purpose I purchased them for.

I use these boots to take the dog out for quick walks or to play in the yard when it’s cold, snowing or raining. They slip on easily and come off just as easy (without me having to bend down). They’re meant for camping so not really for long walks on the sidewalk. I wear these without socks. I go from slipper to these and back into my slippers when I’m back inside. I am a 7.5 (38) and got the size 7. I would’ve loved a bit more toe room but they don’t come in half sizes. My right foot is slightly bigger than my left. An 8 would’ve been too big. I’m happy with the fit and the way they look. My feet stay toasty even in 20 degree weather. (Again, I’m only out for 15 minutes in them and don’t use them for long walks.) There is no arch support but that’s ok for jaunts. I’m super picky and glad that I was able to find booties that fit my purpose. These boots are also super light so you can pack them and take them with you.

I ordered my first pair of these booties elsewhere and my size (10) had my toes touching the ends of the shoes. I ordered in 11 and it fits fine. It hasn't been cold enough yet to verify how warm they actually are.
