Product Information
Full details
The North Face x SKIMS Nuptse Traction Chukka is designed for women seeking comfortable, stylish, and practical footwear for cold weather. Its key benefit is superior traction on icy surfaces, thanks to temperature-sensitive lugs, while a potential caveat is its slipper-like fit which may require adjustment for those preferring a more structured boot. This lightweight, low-cut boot features puffy quilting and a design that merges classic TNF style with SKIMS' aesthetic, making it ideal for chilly mornings and navigating slippery paths.

FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
While the boots offer water resistance due to their materials, they are not fully waterproof. They are designed to protect against cold and light moisture but are not intended for prolonged exposure to heavy rain or deep snow.
What material are the boots made of?
The primary shell material is 100% polyester, with some parts made of 100% nylon. The insulation is also designed for warmth.
How do the IcePick™ lugs work?
The IcePick™ lugs are temperature-sensitive. They become harder and provide increased traction as the temperature drops below freezing, specifically targeting icy conditions.
Can I wear these for hiking?
These chukkas are best suited for casual wear and navigating cold, icy surfaces. They are not designed for rugged hiking or activities requiring extensive ankle support or heavy-duty tread.
How should I store these boots when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Ensure they are clean and completely dry before storing to prevent damage or odor.
What is the primary advantage of the SKIMS collaboration?
The SKIMS collaboration brings a modern, fashion-forward aesthetic to The North Face's functional outerwear, combining signature quilting with SKIMS' design sensibilities.
Troubleshooting
Traction feels reduced on dry surfaces
The IcePick™ lugs are optimized for cold and icy conditions. Traction may feel less aggressive on dry or warm surfaces, which is normal. Ensure the outsole is clean of debris.
Boots feel too loose or lack support
These chukkas are designed with a relaxed, slipper-like fit. For a snugger feel, consider wearing thicker socks. If significant looseness persists, they may not be the ideal fit for your foot shape or support needs.
Material appears creased after wear
The puffy quilting and soft shell material may naturally crease with wear. This is a cosmetic characteristic and does not affect the performance or durability of the boot.
