The North Face Iceflare Tall GTX Very pleased

Quality material and comfortable enough for everyday wear if desired. I work in emergency medicine and wore these boots to work for a 4 hour shift with the intention of hiking afterwards...well it ended up turning into 12 straight hours on my feet without a hint of discomfort. I've mucked around in them, worn them in snow/slush and the waterproofing is solid. I'm an 11.5 and these fit true to size although they seemed a bit snug on my toes the first day or two however that soon went away (maybe pressure on the toe area while boxed?) Overall very satisfied, when you spend over 90 dollars on a pair of boots you expect comfort and quality and these have delivered. As far as long term quality I can't make any statements as I've only had them about a month.

The North Face McMurdo II Horrible

These boots are stiff as board, therefore hard to walk in. They are very tight on your feet ( I couldn't wiggle my toes at all!) and my toes were frozen numb after less than 2 hrs. outside on a 30 degree day. I love northface but I do not recommend THESE boots to anyone. I'd send them back but I prematurely threw the box out before I wore them. Very disappointed....

Naturalizer Valour Nice winter boot

The interior of the boot offers a nice plush fabric that keeps your feet warm in the blistery cold. These look very nice with jeans and khakis. The stitching adds for a nice, clean look. The black is not too dark,,,it is more of a dark smoke color. I've used these in wet and cold conditions and the boots have kept my feet warm and dry. The size is a bit larger than what I ordered, but this worked out nicely with thicker socks. I have narrow feet and this fit just snug, which was a nice surprise because most shoes have a wider width. Naturalizer, in my opinion, makes a much narrower shoe in general.

Sporto Maryse Great looking boots

These are great looking boots...very trim and neat looking. I've only worn them once, but so far they seem comfortable although they could use a softer insole. They're a bit loose in the heel, but otherwise, they fit good. I went up a half size because I intend to wear heavy socks with them and I'm glad I did. That will probably take care of the heel problem. Overall, I'm happy with my purchase.
Wears this shoe: I bought them to wear in the snow.
