[2025 Fall/Winter] In-Depth Review: THE NORTH FACE “Nuptse Bootie WP Backzip”
This time, we’re introducing the 2025 Fall/Winter snow boot from THE NORTH FACE, the Nuptse Bootie WP Backzip.
The “Nuptse Bootie Series” has long been a fan favorite for its reliable combination of waterproofing, insulation, and slip resistance. Now, the series’ biggest weakness—its difficulty to put on—has finally been solved with this updated model.
Let’s take a closer look at what makes this latest model stand out.
Back-Zip Construction Makes Entry and Exit Exceptionally Smooth
● Solves the classic issue: “hard to put on”
The biggest update to this model is the back zipper located at the heel. Previous Nuptse Booties had a relatively narrow opening, and many customers struggled to get their foot inside.
With the new back zipper, the heel area opens wide, making entry significantly smoother. Even those who previously avoided the series due to difficulty putting them on will find this model much more approachable.
● Waterproof zipper maintains full waterproof performance
The zipper uses a water-resistant seal, effectively preventing water from seeping in through the zip area. This upgrade enhances ease of use while fully maintaining the boot’s waterproof capability.
Updated with a Sharper Look—Perfect for Everyday Urban Wear
● Streamlined silhouette with reduced padding
The padding volume has been slightly reduced, creating a cleaner, sharper silhouette compared to previous models. Despite being a winter boot, it avoids a bulky appearance, making it easier to style with everyday urban outfits.
● Matte Cordura Nylon for a Refined, Durable Finish
The upper is made from CORDURA® nylon, a material known for its exceptional durability compared to standard nylon. It resists tearing even when rubbed against ice or rough winter surfaces.
Its matte, understated appearance—paired with a logo printed in a matching tone—gives the boot a clean and versatile look, making it suitable not only for outdoor use but also for everyday urban wear.
Full Winter Performance: Waterproof, Insulated & Slip-Resistant
● Equipped with “HydroSeal” Full Waterproof Construction
The boot features THE NORTH FACE’s proprietary waterproof membrane, HydroSeal, providing a fully waterproof barrier that blocks out rain and snow.
It also maintains breathability, allowing moisture inside the boot to escape and keeping your feet comfortable and less prone to overheating.
The insulation uses Thermolite EcoMade, a synthetic material that traps warm air to maintain heat. Even when damp, it retains much of its insulating ability, making it highly reliable in snowy environments.
● Vibram Outsole for Outstanding Traction
The outsole is made with a Vibram® sole, delivering exceptional grip on wet pavement, snow, and icy surfaces.
It is also highly abrasion-resistant, ensuring long-lasting durability across multiple winter seasons.
A Versatile Boot for Daily Wear and Outdoor Activities
With upgrades in both usability and design, the Backzip model is incredibly easy to wear—perfect not just for outdoors but also as a reliable everyday winter boot.
Traveling to snowy regions
Warm, waterproof footwear for commuting or school
Winter camping and outdoor activities
Daily urban wear
Available in a unisex size range from 23cm to 29cm (1cm increments), making it easy for anyone to find the right fit.
Conclusion: The Easiest-to-Wear Nuptse Bootie Ever
