Footwear that rises to the ankle or higher; can be casual or dressy, practical or fashionable. Boots that are designed for protection from the elements may be made of a single, closely-stitched piece of leather, rubber, or other material to prevent the entry of water, mud or dirt. Other types of boots are sturdy in nature, intended for protection in wilderness or industrial settings. Fashionable boots for men and women may have all the variations seen in other shoe styles, including high heels, platforms, and lacings.

The North Face Greenland Zip II Excellent boot, but buy larger

Reviewer: 35 year old active mom. from Milwaukee, WI
This boot is great, but I would buy a 1/2 size larger. I usually wear a 7.5 or 8. I bought an 8 and it is a little tight. These boots will definately keep your feet warm and they have great treads on the bottom.

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....

My daughter has this boot and I liked it so ordered a pair for myself. I just opened my box since I have been away for a month. My only problem is that my boot came with a scruff mark and a black mark by the ankle of one boot. I hate to return the boots but the irregularity bothers me.

The North Face Janey II Luxe Great boot

Reviewer: Tristy from NYC
I've worn this boot while walking around in single digit weather, in rain and snow and blizzards. My toes have stayed dry and toasty throughout. They also look great with jeans or skirts. These run true to size, so I recommend getting a half size larger to fit in extra pairs of thick socks. The back is lace-tightened so it also fits my wide calves. The only cons with this boot is that I wish it was slightly taller, and also, watch out when you step into tall snow drifts, as the back IS lace-up and a small amount of snow may get in through the laces (happened to me today while I was shoveling 2 ft of snow). Otherwise, I am very satisfied with this boot!
