Love them -
These are great boots. Easy on and off with the front zip. I got them in pink and get compliments every time I wear them. They are really comfortable and warm - but not crazy warm. My first, but not my last, Zappos purchase. Amazing service... came the next day!

Great Buy -
I wanted boots that would keep my feet warm and dry and that were nice looking enough that I could leave them on at work...and these are perfect.

Good looking, but...
Nice style and color but footbed is completely flat with no cushion or support.

Best boot I've found in years!
This is a great boot...highly recommended. Several hours went by in cold WI weather before I realized I hadn't thought about my feet once...that's how warm and comfortable they were. I have a bad back and these provided good support. They are stylish enough that, if needed, you could wear them under your slacks or jeans. Less stiff and lighter in weight than other Columbia boots I've tried.

I Love the boots. Very warm and stylish with jeans. My only complaint is that the zipper keeps coming down. I have tried everything and can not get it to stay up.

Warm and waterproof -
Our daughter, who grew up in northern New England, took these with her for the winter she is spending in northern Russia. Her report back to us on these boots was, "The boots are working really, really well. They are the warmest I've ever had and completely waterproof."

Love them! I’ve only just received these today, & it's actually the beginning of summer over here in CO...but this is the best time to shop for snow boots if you want a great price. I ordered these in a 6.5, which is what I typically would get, & these boots fit just right, snuggly warm. They do seem stiff as I walked around the house w/ them on, but I think that'll eventually improve w/ wear. Very very cute...they make my feet look small, & the thick soles give me enough of a lift to feel a bit taller. I’m looking forward to the winter now!

Beautiful Snow Boots -
These are great snow boots. I have worn them every day since I received them, here in Nebraska. It doesn't matter if it is snowing or not. No one knows that I am wearing snow boots because of their suede finish. They have a sleeker look than UGGS (which aren't even snow proof) and are a great alternative. They are easy to slip on and zip up with one hand, when I am carrying my toddler in the other. I already have to help two children with their shoes when we are going out the door, so I want something quick and easy for me. The zippers do work their way down from time to time, but it is a small price to pay for getting out the door a little faster.

Love the shoe, Love the service.
I was very impressed with the service. I received the first pair soon after I had placed the order. There was a flaw in one shoe and when I called to have it replaced the sales person was very helpful and sent out a new pair. This pair arrived before I had even sent away my first pair. (I couldn't part with it despite the flaw!) These shoes are great. They are very warm and are so comfortable I keep them on all day instead of only using them when walking to and from work as was the plan!

Sparkle Vallara II -
Very cozy and comfortable- just a bit stiff. Light violet color exactly as shown. Zappos selection, service and no shipping cost is the BEST.

Vallara's are great!
Enjoy the boot overall. Only thing that annoys me is the zipper comes down from time to time and my leg rubs on the front tongue of the boot. Overall awesome and VERY WARM boot for the outdoor traveler!

Very Pleased -
This was a X-mas gift for my wife and she loved it. We both liked the fact that the boot looked a little feminine but without an over aggressive tread. Perfect for her need at the cabin. I purchased the buff color.

I have not used these in wet or extra cold conditions yet. Boot is cute but bigger and bulkier then I anticipated and felt like I was walking around in ski boots! Took some breaking in but they are pretty warm. You can wear them tucked in or with pant over. Boot is comfortable to walk around in but feels bulky and heavy at the same time. Not sure how they will handle snow, wet or mud yet. I'm a little concerned as they are light tan and suede so we will see. I run between an 8 1/2 and a 9 so I started with a 9 and they were too big, even with thick socks so order your usual size and you should be fine, even with the thick wool ski socks (the 8 1/2 worked for me). They are not super stylish so I'm hoping because of the good brand they will be warm and functional for the winter. But they are definitely more stylish then those plain UGG boots.

Winter boots you must own!
Before buying these boots I read countless reviews and each praised it's features. I ordered a pair for myself and I am in love with them! Not only do they keep my feet warm without getting sweaty but they also looks great with jeans. They are really lightweight and are offered in several colors. I highly recommend buying a pair!

The boots are quality material have a nice lining and are very warm even here in Vermont where the weather changes daily. They get good traction, I think; for the cost they are one of the best pair of boots I have purchased in a long time

Wow! Warm Boot -
I didn't know there was a shoe made that would keep my feet so warm! My feet have been cold my entire life and I wish I had known!
I ordered an 8, which is my normal size, but the boot does slip a bit on my heel. Plenty of toe room for wiggle even with wool socks. I would order a 7 1/2 next time.
Great boot though!

Just what I needed in northern Michigan!
I had been wearing a pair of UGGS for a couple of years. They were sooooo comfortable, but couldn't keep my feet warm enough in this harsh winter climate. Columbia has always been great so decided to try this boot. It's incredibly warm. Of course, it's heavier than the UGGS, but made for warmth. I'm now use to the clunky look. The zipper can be a little annoying at times, and sometimes slips a bit. But I'm very happy overall!

These boots are great- warm, waterproof and comfortable. The only problem I've had with them is that the front zipper sometimes slides down when you wear them.

Great boots and very comfortable. I got a great bargain since I waited for the summer to buy these. Keep my feet warm and cozy. I purchased 1/2 size larger and wore thicker socks.

So cute and cuddly, but not much support -
I was so looking forward to these shoes, I love purple, and these were waterproof to boot! I got them after FAST Zappos shipping, and tried them on. Very comfy and cozy, the fit was wonderful. But after walking around in the house for a while with them, I discovered they don't have a lot of arch support, at least for me. I wanted them for walking outside, and I need more support than these can give. I'm so disappointed, because they are an excellent shoe otherwise!!

Columbia Vallara II-
Though I have only worn this boot twice, it seems to be quite comfortable with little or no breaking in required. Not as bulky in look and feel as some winter boots can be. The instep was a little tight at first, but that may just be me. Great for playing around in the snow with good traction, but not so much for running errands, etc., where you’ll be wearing these indoors. My feet got too warm doing that.

My shins hurt and the zipper did not stay up- Looks were good. What appeared to be a comfortable shoe was not. After walking a very short distance my shins hurt due to a lack of give in the shaft of the boot. Zippers did not stay in place. Lining was very itchy.

What a great experience! Zappos is wonderful! Great boots! I needed a boot that wasn't too clunky and this boot is perfect. Does not feel like a winter/snow boot, BUT will keep your feet warm. Didn't have any problem driving in these boots, which was important consideration for me. I would absolutely buy from Zappos again and I highly recommend these boots!

Perfect -
I love these boots. I live in Minn. and went on my first walk with them yesterday. Let me tell you, it was 5 degrees out with a windchill of -10, and yes, I walked. My feet were toasty as ever. The size runs true. I wear an 8 in gym shoes and ordered an 8. Nice fit. I was concerned the heel would pop up inside the boot since it wasn’t a lace up style, and it didn’t. Cute and practical. Can’t beat that!

 |  | I originally purchased the shoe through another source. When I got them home I found a flaw. The company searched their other stores and couldn't find my size. I didn't get a refund instead received store credit. Bummer! I thought of Zappos since I ordered a pair of boots site unseen and size questionable. Lucked out. But since I had the 411 on the Reikers, I looked the shoes up on your web site. Low and behold there were my shoes! The price was right, in fact, cheaper, and I got free shipping! Then I received an email that I'll be upgraded to FEDEX!!! I shared my experience with my secretary. She stated that your company is both unique and cool. (CEO is with the little people in a cubicle among other non traditional work/business ethics.) Sorry to divert, back to the shoes...love them! Brand new, hermetically sealed, no flaws, finger/dirt prints, etc. I am a happy camper with my Reikers. |  | ~ , October 04 2008
