The great transition is taking place right now; we’re shifting our wardrobes from the things that keep us warm to what we have to wear in the warmer weather months.

And for many people, that goes for their shoes too. We are leaving the boots behind for sandals and flip flops, or at least we’re trying to.  

Speaking of boots, there has been a recall on a popular women’s boot that you may have been using. 

The North Face has recalled their Women’s Shellista V Mid Waterproof boots due to what they are calling a fall hazard. The problem according to the US Consumer Product Safety Commission is that a hook on one of the boots can get caught on the laces of the other boots which can cause the fall the folks at The North Face are concerned about.  

These boots have traditional lace up closures with The North Face logo embossed on the side and imprinted on the insole.  

Thus far there have been 28 incidents reported where people have fallen because of the issue with the hook and laces. 15 of those reported minor injuries.  

The boots in question were sold from September of last year through this January and had a price tag of around $165. These boots were widely sold across the country. They were available at The North Face website and their stores, as well as Dicks Sporting Goods, Nordstrom, REI among other stores.  

If you own these boots, you are urged to stop using these immediately and then contact The North Face, they will advise you on how to get a full refund.  

The North Face says that over 15,000 pairs of these boots were sold in the US and almost 6,000 were sold in Canada.
