The North Face Recalls Women’s Boots Over Fall Hazard After Injuries Reported

The North Face is recalling more than 20,000 pairs of Womens Shellista V Mid Waterproof Boots due to falling hazards after several injuries were reported, according to a notice posted by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.

The recall includes The North Face Womens Shellista V Mid Waterproof Boots in sizes 5 through 11. The boots were sold in white with style number NF0A8ADB3IE, gray with style number NF0A8ADB5IF, tan with style number NF0A8ADBHFQ, and black with style number NF0A8ADBKT0. The style number is located on the label on the tongue of the boot.

The hook of one boot can catch on the lace of the other boot, posing a fall hazard to the wearer. The North Face has received 28 reports of the hook catching on the lace of the other boot, including 15 reports of minor injuries in the United States.

Around 15,200 pairs of the recalled boots were sold in the U.S., and around 5,900 were sold in Canada. The boots were sold at The North Face stores, Dicks Sporting Goods, Nordstrom, REI, and other stores nationwide, and online at thenorthface.com and other websites from September 2024 through January 2025 for about $165.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled boots and contact The North Face to receive a free shipping label to return the recalled boots for a full refund in the original form of payment, a gift card, or via check if the purchase was made with cash.
