Product Information

Full details

The North Face x SKIMS Nuptse Traction Chukka is designed for adult women seeking warm, comfortable, and stylish footwear for cold weather. Its key benefit is superior traction on icy surfaces thanks to temperature-sensitive lugs. A potential caveat is its slipper-like fit, which may require careful consideration for those needing maximum ankle support. This lightweight, low-cut bootie combines a classic TNF puffy aesthetic with SKIMS' modern design, featuring a 100% polyester shell and pockets, and a 100% nylon Shell B.

FAQs

What makes the 'IcePick' lugs special?

The IcePick lugs are designed with a material that becomes firmer and increases its grip on icy surfaces as the temperature drops below freezing.

Are these boots waterproof?

The Nuptse Traction Chukka offers water resistance due to its materials, but they are not fully waterproof. They are best suited for snowy or damp conditions rather than heavy rain or submersion.

Can I wear these for hiking?

These boots are designed for casual wear and light winter conditions. They may not provide adequate support or protection for strenuous hiking trails.

How do I choose the right size?

Refer to the sizing chart provided by The North Face. Given the slipper-like fit, consider if you prefer to wear thicker socks, which might influence your sizing choice.

What is the primary material composition?

The shell and pockets are made of 100% polyester, while Shell B is 100% nylon.

How should I clean the puffy outer material?

Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid machine washing or harsh chemicals to preserve the insulation and quilted texture.

Are these boots suitable for men and women?

This specific variant (Cream - UK 9.5) is listed for women. However, The North Face Nuptse Traction Chukka is available in various sizes and colors, some of which may be suitable for men. Please check product listings for gender-specific options.

Troubleshooting

Traction feels reduced on dry surfaces.

The IcePick lugs are optimized for cold and icy conditions. On dry or warmer surfaces, their grip may feel less pronounced. This is normal and does not indicate a defect.

Booties feel slightly loose.

The Nuptse Traction Chukka features a slipper-style fit for comfort. If you prefer a snugger fit, consider wearing thicker socks. For significant looseness, ensure you have selected the correct size.

Quilting appears flattened.

Gently fluff the quilted sections with your hands. If the flattening is due to compression during shipping or storage, wearing the boots will naturally help restore some loft. Avoid excessive pressure or folding.

Material feels stiff after getting wet.

Allow the boots to air dry completely away from heat. Once fully dry, the material should regain its flexibility. Avoid using artificial heat sources for drying.

Pros and Cons

  • Warm and comfortable for cold weather conditions.
  • Stylish design appealing to fans of both The North Face and SKIMS.
  • Lightweight and easy to slip on and off.
  • Durable construction suitable for outdoor use.

Cons

  • Slipper-like fit may offer less ankle support than traditional boots.
  • Primarily designed for light to moderate cold, may not suffice for extreme arctic conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These are ready-to-wear footwear. No assembly or setup is required. Simply put them on and go.

Compatibility: Designed for adult use, these boots are suitable for various winter activities where enhanced traction is beneficial. They are compatible with casual winter attire.

Care: To maintain the quality and appearance of your Nuptse Traction Chukka:

  1. Cleaning: Spot clean with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing, as this can damage the insulation and quilted material.
  2. Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or excessive sunlight. Stuffing with paper can help maintain shape and absorb moisture.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Consider using a boot tree to preserve their shape.
  4. Water Repellency: While the materials offer some protection, consider a fabric protector spray suitable for synthetic materials if increased water resistance is desired, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
