Columbia Bugaboot™ Plus SKU: #7795953

These are awesome boots for the hunter in cold conditions. The boots come a bit stiff and about half a size larger than normal but that can be a good thing if you need thick socks. Wear them for about a week prior to your hunt and they break in nicely.

I ordered and had sent the Columbia Bugaboot Plus for my son. They fit perfectly and he loved them. Great product and great service.

Great fit and comfortable. Keep you warm and dry with a nice grip. The only thing that detracts only slightly from them is that they are extremely stiff, need to get broken in; otherwise it feels like walking in slightly more flexible ski boots.

The boots are lovely but they just don't fit right. Thanks so much for your help and this convenience. MDV

After limited field tests in the rain, I'm glad to say that these boots have been as waterproof and --most important-- comfortable as I could have expected. This is important, considering I've never found comfortable boots before. They're good for walking long distances, and even performed decently when running. Just make sure to lace them up all the way, and they're the best boots I've had.

Surprisingly comfortable, although they could perhaps use a little more arch support. Warm without being uncomfortably hot. They look like regular shoes when partially covered by jeans, so they can be worn anytime without looking ridiculous.

I bought this boot to use for snowshoeing and short snow hikes. Wore them on a short hike in a wet snow for the first time and the were indeed waterproof and very warm. They were a bit stiff at first and the high back took some getting used to. After 6 miles through a lot of varied terrain, ups and downs and flats I was sold. They broke in just fine and are very comfortable. I think they run slightly large and a thicker pair of socks or insole will take care of that.

I bought these boots for daily outdoor work. I am a size 14 3/8, so I got a size 14 figuring that boots are a bit bigger and it worked for me. The boots are stiff, but after hiking over diverse terrain for about 4-5 miles they loosened up nicely. I would break them in before attempting to use them for a trip or work.

These boots are absolutely amazing (jump to the end for disclaimer), they are warm well below 0 degrees Fahrenheit, and are waterproof almost all the way up due to the well-designed gussets connecting the tongue to the boot shell. Omniheat is my favorite method of insulation, just before thinsulate, and provides warmth as well as proper breathing no matter the conditions. The material, in general, is great and construction is exceptional despite one problem. The eyelets have a tendency to fall out when tying the shoe extra tight. There is, however, a very simple solution. Grab some Loctite or superglue and secure the eyelets that seem to be loose at all. Do not let this minor flaw drive you away from these outstanding, affordable, and good looking boots.

For my first winter in Montana I knew that I would need some warm ,dry, comfortable boots. I am already a big fan of Columbia gear and after buying these boots, I am a bigger fan. Even with my narrow foot the fit was perfect. One caveat - after wearing the boots four times, one of the upper eyelets that the lace passes through popped out of the fabric. Granted I was pulling on it hard, but Zappos had a new pair to me within two days, and no problems since.

The boots are warm and waterproof. But like other reviewers, very stiff and need to be broken in.

I traveled to Perm, Russia for New Years. It is a cold place, with temperatures as low as -10°F and the sidewalks are snowy and icy. These boots were awesome. My feet never got cold, and I walked everywhere all day in these boots. They are very comfortable boots! They are highly recommend!

Though our winter hasn't been too bad this year, these boots have been really great for walking around campus when the major snow storms do hit. They're warm, cool looking, and well-fitting. Walking a long time in them can become uncomfortable, at least for me. They're never uncomfortable on the foot; rather, they rub on my leg while walking, causing some minor discomfort, but never enough to make me stop wearing them. They seem well constructed, and in all, the style is much better than most of the snow boots designed for men. I did find the boots to run extremely large, so I had to go a whole size down from my normal tennis shoe size.

I have had these boots for about a month now, and I must say. They are awesome! Living in Northern Maine the temps can get really cold, just throw on a pair of socks and put these boots on. They are warm even if you want to be lazy and not tie them up! I would recommend this boot to others.

I ordered these for a trip to Svalbard where the weather was -20 degrees Celsius. I can tell you that they will keep you very warm, are waterproof, and are very light. Even our guides over there were surprised at how well they survived. Definitely recommended for extreme weather.

I wore these around Anchorage, Alaska, when we had record snowfalls and cold down to -20F. They definitely gave me the traction and dryness I needed. I gave them an overall 4 stars because they require good socks to stay warm. On the whole I'm pleased with them - can't wait to take them into the Bush this year!
