Description of The North Face Nuptse Bootie II - Women's: |
|
The North Face Women's Nuptse Bootie II uses plush, high-loft 700-fill down insulation to provide all the warmth you need for a chilly night in a backcountry hut or base camp tent. These versatile booties also use The North Face's temperature-sensitive Ice Pick outsoles to ensure maximum traction in anything from “it's a bit chilly” to “my water just froze.” The Nuptse Bootie II also includes a top drawstring to keep out snow if you posthole into a deep section of freshies on your way from one tent to another.
Bottom Line: Treat your feet right on your next winter trip.

| Not as warm as I'd hoped 11-06-08 |
Sarah Geneser (7):  |
| I have a pair of sierra designs booties that are meant to be worn indoors. They are sooo warm and cozy during the winter, but I have wanted some down booties I could wear outside occasionally. These seemed like a good fit, but when they arrived, they were sadly lacking in down. I did not find them to be particularly warm, so I ultimately ended up returning them. |

| Not really for outdoor use. 12-12-08 |

| I live on a pretty remote island off the coast of Maine. I spend my winter days on a lobster boat. It gets face-splitting cold, and then I come home to an uninsulated house. I bought these Nuptse Booties to wear around the house, as slippers. I needed something warm, and I also wanted a sole that would take me outside on a dash to the woodpile or the chest freezer. Additionally, there had to be a tread that would keep me from slipping down the stairs. I thought these would be a great choice based on the down and the sole.
The good: As slippers, these are ok. They are warm most of the time. I feel comfortable wearing them on the slick hardwood stairs. They seem fine to run out onto the porch in, though I have not yet experienced their "amazo-morph" grip technology, or whatever. Admittedly, they are not quite cozy-curl-up-on-the-couch-with-them-on like some slippers, but they are serving the purpose. They were true to size. And they're kinda cute. I like cute.
The bad: I got these on sale, but they seem to go for about 80 clams. For that, I feel I deserve more support around the ankle (these feel saggy, despite the elastic inside). Furthermore, they are not very comfy. I have noticed my feel feel tired after walking around in them on the hardwood floors. They should be more cushy, with some down or foam on the bottom. I stuck some insoles in there, but I feel like I should not have to based on the brand name and price. And sometimes, yeah, my freakin' feet are cold. I mean, come on! I'm INSIDE! Under a BLANKET! But OK, I admit it's nippy in the living room.
The ugly: Some people seem to wear these outside, as boots. That seems laughable to me. There is no support, they are not waterproof, and down does not insulate when wet. I would definitely NOT recommend purchasing these with the intention of using them as anything other than slippers or tent booties.
Backcountry as a vendor was great: best price for these ridiculously spendy slippers, and free, fast shipping. I look forward to shopping here again. |

| Critical base camp piece. 06-13-09 |
Andy Jacobsen (20):  |
| Warm and comfy! Great for walking around base camp or just for staying toasty in cold cabin. They definitely are not waterproof but they seem to stay fairly dry walking around snowy camps. Nice grippy sole works great in the snow but, I would not recommend hiking very far in these because they are not very supportable, just very comfortable. More of a hanging out boot than a hiking boot. I am a 10.5-11 street shoe. I ordered these in size 11 and they fit perfect. |
