Every time in the last few years that I have bought new shoes they have broken immediately and these are no exception. Today I wore them for the second time since getting them for Christmas and the sole started peeling off. I didn't even go on a hike I wore them to the dog park twice this is becoming insane.

Looks like a tennis shoe, waterproof in rain, snow, and ice.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought these to go to Iceland. I wanted something I could wear in all weather conditions that looked like a tennis shoe. They were only available in full sizes and I heard they ran small so I ordered a size 9. They didn't initially feel comfortable and I was worried about wearing them every day so I walked around in them a few times for several hours before my trip to break them in. One spot kept rubbing and I was worried it would be a problem and packed moleskin. I never needed the moleskin. This shoes turned out to be a lifesaver. I walked ~5 miles a day in rain, snow and ice. My feet never got wet once in extreme weather, nor did I ever slip and fall on ice, though I had a few close calls. (There were times when I should have worn crampons.) They are super comfortable now and I will tum them into winter walking shoes. These may have been close outs, if so, they should bring these shoes back. My husband got the same pair. He thought his may be too small, but they broke in perfectly and they worked well for him too. I brought some fleece pants, a parka, and a hoodie too all from TNF. The gear is amazing. North Face makes great products. Most of my snow gear is from NF. I have had some of it for over 25 years.

Broke on hike #2

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Lace loops are not sturdy. Half way up my second hike the lace loop completely broke. They are really comfortable and are amazingly waterproof, but the durability is not up to North Face standards.

I would definitely buy this product again for the comfort.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We took this product with us to Alaska and went fishing. We had no problems with our feet getting wet definitely waterproof. Also, they are very comfortable as well. Would recommend this product.

I'd buy again

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Review for Women's Back-To-Berkeley III Sport Waterproof Boots: I recently bought the Women's Back-To-Berkeley III Sport Waterproof Boots from Northface, and I couldn't be happier with my choice. These boots combine style and functionality perfectly. The waterproof feature works flawlessly, keeping my feet dry even in heavy rain. The fit is true to size, and the boots provide excellent support and comfort. The sole offers great traction, making them ideal for hiking and outdoor activities. Additionally, the design is fashionable and versatile, allowing me to wear them with various outfits. These boots are a fantastic investment for any adventurous woman seeking both style and performance.

I would definitely buy these again!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought these for our trip to Iceland and right out of the box, me feet loved them!! I didn't need time to break them in at all. Most of the comments say, size up and so I did. I'm a 6 so I bought 7 and it was the perfect fit.

I would not buy this product again

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Didn't like the style after all but ran very small and not comfortable.

Cute but TOO TIGHT!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is such a cute shoe, especially for hiking, but not that functional. I already bought half a size up and they're still waaaay too fight especially in the back of my heels. It feels like someone's just dripping onto my heels for dear life. I wanted it to work out so much. Maybe to those purchasing get a full size up? For people who have wide feet, this may not be the shoe for you.

I would not buy this again. Would buy the bookbag again.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Boots run small. I ordered a 9 and was super tight - Not even sure a 10 would work, but returned it. Love the bookbag.

Returned

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] You can't really tell from the photos, but the part that goes around the ankle is sort of like a thick sweater cuff and it's not very stretchy, so the boots are hard to get on and then really tight if you don't have toothpick legs. I'm not overweight by any means but they were too tight to be comfortable while wearing. I had to return. On the upside I'm sure this feature makes them warm. They seem really well made.
