The North Face Bergen Waterproof Winter Boots

There are many things to like about this boot. It gives all the advantages of a boot, but the comfort of a shoe. The first time I wore it, I was outdoors in constant rain for three hours, and the temperature was 48 degrees. It was not a real test of how it does in extreme cold, but my feet stayed very dry and very toasty. Sizewize, they are right on. I typically wear a size 10.5 shoe and often go up to a size 11 boot. These were perfect in my normal 10.5 size, and if I planned on wearing an extra thick sock (which I doubt will ever be needed), I could have gone up to a size 11. Go with your regular size for shoes, and you will be fine. I went to the North Face store to compare sizes and colors. I arrived thinking that my first choice would be brown, my second choice black, and my last choice tan. I walked out of the store with the tan - it looks great in person, much better than in the photos. Everything else I have to say, you have already seen in other reviews. These are lightweight, so you could walk for hours without issue. I am not a fan of spending a lot of time lacing up boots, and these only have one simple "crossing of the laces" before you can tie them, so they meet my laziness standard. A final comment: These boots are somehow "shoe-like" enough that you will feel fine wearing them around without feeling out of place. I have another, excellent pair of North Face boots that are equally wonderful, but that pair screams "I'm a pair of winter boots!" I would not wear that older pair out casually, but these Bergen boots will definitely make the cut. If they are for you, buy them in your regular size. You will be thrilled with your new go-to winter boots. If they are a gift, find out their regular shoe size, pick a color (I recommend the tan), and buy them. You will be smiling with each of the comments you hear over the next few years about how thoughtful you are.

Incredibly warm and comfortable. Would definitely recommend.

Comfy, warm and stylish! My husband loves them!! Perfect to "play" in the snow or wander around town in the winter

Great boot very comfortable, true to size unlike other boots.

Bought these for winter weather and snow. These worked great in snow and kept my feet very warm and dry! No problems at all and are extremely comfortable to wear! Love these!

Purchased these for my trip to Bergen, Norway. They are comfortable and very warm, although I plan on using them for hiking, they don't look so much like boots that I felt uncomfortable wearing them out for dinner at night in the cold Scandinavian winter nights.

l love these boots. Waterproof and comfortable. Perfect for slushy sidewalks and gutters on commute to work. Comfortable enough to wear all day.
