Sole unit: 40% recycled rubber outsole for supreme traction Review: These are fantastic!! - I love these shoes! I wear them around the house and have found they are great to wear watching sports in a cold stadium. I constantly have cold feet, but my feet will actually sweat in these because they keep your feet so warm. These are better than wool socks for me. Two things to take note of: 1. I almost sent them back originally because there is a tiny label sewn into the inside heel of each shoe. It kept rubbing my foot and felt like a small piece of plastic. Took me awhile to figure out what it was. I trimmed the label corners and that fixed the problem for me so I ended up not returning. 2. These have a low rise sole/heel so they feel like "barefoot" shoes if you start to walk any distance in them (like walking around a large parking lot and football stadium). That is fine with me because I use barefoot style shoes all the time, but I did notice it so be aware. Review: Great weather-proof slippers. - They're very comfortable, and most importantly, weather-proof. I really like the design as well. They seem to run slightly small for me, so I'd probably go for a 12.5 instead of my usual 12, but they do slip on as easily as I'd expect them to without feeling too loose. ## Features - SLIP-IN COMFORT: Whether you're at base camp or just stepping out for the paper, the Men's ThermoBall Traction Mule V offers easy, cushioned warmth with ThermoBall Eco insulation and a soft Oso fleece-lined collar for added comfort. - WATER-RESISTANT DURABILITY: With a durable ripstop upper made from 100% recycled polyester finished with a non-PFC DWR coating, these insulated shoes repel light moisture and snow to keep your feet warm and dry through the elements. - SUPERIOR INSULATION: Made with 100% recycled polyester ThermoBall Eco insulation, these shoes keep feet warm even in wet conditions, while the collapsible heel and stretchy side panels make slipping these on or off quick and effortless. - STEADY TRACTION: Stay grounded wherever you roam with a grippy outsole that delivers solid traction on slick decks, icy walkways, or cold cabin floors. Crafted with up to 20% recycled rubber, you'll feel confident and grounded with every sustainable step. - TAKE ON THE DAY: An essential closet staple, these winter shoes for men are a go-to classic for outdoor exploration. Start living your outdoor lifestyle while proudly wearing the badge of exploration with The North Face. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07N98SS2P | | Arch Type | Flat | | Best Sellers Rank | #56,091 in Clothing, Shoes & Jewelry ( See Top 100 in Clothing, Shoes & Jewelry ) #89 in Men's Hiking Boots | | Brand | The North Face | | Closure Type | Pull-On | | Color | Tnf Black/Tnf White | | Cushioning Level | Moderate | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 4,660 Reviews | | Embellishment Feature | Faux fur | | Fabric type | 100% recycled PET ripstop | | Fit to Size Sentiment | Positive | | Fur Description | Synthetic (origin: not applicable) | | Fur description | Synthetic (origin: not applicable) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00192828599252 | | Heel Type | No Heel | | Import Designation | Imported | | Insole Cushioning | Without cushioning material | | Insole Material | Without Inner Material | | Item Type Name | Mule | | Item Weight | 2.5 pounds | | Manufacturer | The North Face | | Manufacturer Part Number | NF0A3UZN | | Material Fabric | Polyester | | Model Name | Thermoball Traction Mule V Winter Shoe | Insulated & Water Repellent, Rubber Outsole | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Occasion Lifestyle | Casual | | Occasion Type | Work. | | Origin | Imported | | Outer Material | Polyester | | Pattern | Solid | | Pronation Correction | Neutral | | Seasons | Fall | | Shoe Height Map | Low Top | | Shoe Type | Mule | | Sole Material | Ethylene Vinyl Acetate | | Sole material | Ethylene Vinyl Acetate | | Special Features | Lightweight | | Specific Uses For Product | Mountain, outdoor, climbing, hiking, backpacking | | Sport Type | Multisport | | Stitching Style | Various reinforcement and flat seams | | Strap Type | slip_on | | Style Name | Thermoball Traction Mule V Winter Shoe | Insulated & Water Repellent, Rubber Outsole | | Style Number | T93UZN | | Subject Character | Professional compartment | | Surface Recommendation | Firm Ground | | Theme | Outdoor, Work, Winter, Casual | | Toe Style | Closed Toe | | UPC | 192828599252 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Water Resistance Level | Water Resistant | | lining-description | Polyester | ## Images ![THE NORTH FACE Men's Thermoball Traction Mule V Winter Shoe | Insulated & Water Repellent, Rubber Outsole - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61wk-qxtBZL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: I'm a size 8.5 usually. would a 9 work?** A: A 9 would work. I'm a 9.5-10 depending on the shoe. Because they are wide a 9 fits me snug. **Q: I got a size 12 and they are a bit big so i exchanged for an 11 and now they are little tight. Will they "break in" and stretch at all?** A: I got size 12 and they fit. **Q: Can you wear and use it on street on ice/snow etc?** A: If you are wearing them to go get something you left in your car, or to take out the trash or get the mail from the box, you should be fine. I wouldn't wear them on a hike up the side of a mountain or through the woods. **Q: Would these be too hot to wear for Florida weather?** A: I wear mine all year but remember they are made for colder weather. Never noticed that they were too hot but they are comfortable. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ These are fantastic!! *by W***5 on February 5, 2026* I love these shoes!

I really like the design as well. They seem to run slightly small for me, so I'd probably go for a 12.5 instead of my usual 12, but they do slip on as easily as I'd expect them to without feeling too loose. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Warmth and Comfort Redefine: North Face ThermoBall are a winter MUST HAVE!!! *by A***E on July 22, 2024* I bought these for a winter trip to Tennessee, the Smokey's. Boy!!! did I need them. Let's get right to it: 1. These provided excellent comfort and warmth and thus far they have been durable. I've had them for 4-5 months and NO SIGNS OF WEAR AT ALL. 2. Even in 16deg weather, these stood up to Mr Jack Frost. Very warm! The insulated cushion foot-bed makes it feel like you are walking on clouds. 3. The slip on design is excellent for me. I like to be able to just kick my slippers off when needed. This is THAT. And, the back of the heel is a sort of elastic stretch material. So, it doesn't "scrub" your Achilles area. If you are the type to "walk on the back" of your house slippers, don't worry. The elastic just bounces right back each and every time. 4. These are versatile, not that I do this but, you can walk outside with these. They have actual outdoor tracking on the bottom. You aren't even going to slip in a small amount of water in these. 5. They look good - yes, that matters to me and many people. I didn't want those "older" looking house shoes that you pick-up from Walmart. Don't get me wrong, I have purchased many pair from there but I wanted something sleeker and more fashionable this time. 6. Cost - might be on the slight upper end for some people. But the fact that they are exactly what I needed makes them worth it to me. The things I would caution about: 1. They do fit somewhat snug. I would buy a half-size larger to be on the safe side. 2. For some, they may be too warm for southern climates (however, depending on the person, you may need a warmer slipper in a southern climate). ## Frequently Bought Together - THE NORTH FACE Men's Thermoball Traction Mule V Winter Shoe - THE NORTH FACE Women's Thermoball Insulated Traction Mule V Shoe --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/177559943-the-north-face-mens-thermoball-traction-mule-v-winter-shoe](https://www.desertcart.us/products/177559943-the-north-face-mens-thermoball-traction-mule-v-winter-shoe) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-08-20*
