NORTH FACE (YOUTH) WALKING BOOTS REVIEW

WWW SCORE: 10/10

SO FAR....

BRAND: North Face Hedgehog Hiker II

PRICE:  £80

I BOUGHT FOR: £54 in a sale from the outlet store near York

This is my first item of North Face attire to own and I was doubtful of their boots as I'd read a review that they can be quite uncomfortable until worn in - and at £150+ I didn't want this from a boot brand when I can get others for half the price that are comfy from the get go - see my Peter Storm and Hi-Tec boot reviews.

So fair to say these were a bit of a whim purchase, as I just happend to be in the outlet shop and was disappointed that Vans didn't have the Made for Elements in that I wanted.. and I most definitely didn't need any more boots! (I already have two relatively new pairs!) But as soon as I put these babies on I was in love! And for £57 for North Face boots how could I not?

(It wasn't until I got home I realised they were 'youth' - but hey I'm not complaining as like I said Im in love with these boots).

This particular pair are so light and comfy it's like I'm wearing slippers. And the ventilation is marvelous - I did a 3hour walk in 20+ heat and my feet weren't too hot at all.

And they didn't even need breaking in.

I haven't used them in the rain or near water yet - because they're just too pretty to ditch - so I cannot comment on the waterproof claim - but with the breathable mesh I'm a bit doubtful on how dry they will keep my feet. I will however update on this when I have braved the rain in them as its inevitably going to happen soon with living in the UK. 

Until then I am mightily Impressed, and will defo try more North Face boots after this.
