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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

I bought these shoes, and I thought they were just so cute!! They were comfortable, stylish and I had compliments on them the first time I wore them. However.... after I had worn them the second time, the string that holds the decorative ornaments on broke. One of the ornaments fits almost right between the toes, and there is no way it could hold. I took the shoes to a shoe repairman to have them fixed before the other ornaments started falling off. Do you know, it cost $15.00 to get that shoe fixed?? The repairman said "these are nothing but a cheaply-made shoe with a high price." I\'ll save them for special occasions when I won\'t be doing walking or standing. In the rating, there isn\'t a "zero" for overall, comfort, or style rating... and for these shoes, there should be.
