From city streets to mountain peaks, The North Face Ballard 6in Boots for Men blend the durability and protection of a work boot with old-school styling of hiking footwear. Designed in BLC-compliant full-grain leather upper lined with a waterproof HydroSeal membrane, this modern patrol boot style is insulated in low-profile PrimaLoft Eco for the best in toasty toes. Long lasting rustproof metal lace hardware close up the shoes element sealing gusset tongue, while a compression-molded EVA Northotic footbed (30% recycled) with Poron inserts enhances comfort. Incorporating blown rubber sidewalls and perimeter lugs to reduce weight, The North Face Men's Ballard 6in Boots outsole are built with durable TNF Winter Grip rubber with IcePick temperature-sensitive lugs for the ultimate in cold conditions traction.

I spent a couple of months searching for a casual cold weather boot that was low profile enough to wear at work. The Ballard 6" is that boot. It's lightweight, warm, waterproof, and very comfortable. I'm on my feet all day at work (both standing and running around) and have had absolutely no foot or back pain.
Not only is the Ballard well-constructed and almost perfect from a utilitarian standpoint, it's also stylish -- the laces make the shoe "pop." I've gotten numerous compliments, and am considering purchasing the blue ones. I highly recommend the Ballard.
Pros lightweight, warm, comfortable, stylish, fit is true to size
Cons: boot scuffs easily
