LOVED this shoe! I wore them to a party right out of the box, and was comfortable all evening - standing all night long! They are a casual shoe, but perfect for a business casual event.

Uncomfortable fit - I have so much trouble getting comfortable fitting shoes that I thought these would be just right. Unfortunately, this was not the case. I ordered 12N and have a very narrow heel. The heel on this shoe did not hug my foot. Because I needed a brown shoe, I kept them and ended up taking them to a shoemaker, which did not help. They slip and seem to run big and are more like a medium fit. I am sorry that I did not send them back. They will probably join the other 50 pairs of unworn shoes in my closet!

Favorite for Comfort - When I first tried on this shoe, the comfort was immediate, and I knew I would be keeping it. I usually reserve judgment until I've walked for several minutes in a shoe. It's more attractive in person than in photo. I'm deciding which other color I will buy.

Cute casual shoe, runs 1/2 small - I've been looking for a cute red shoe and this is it. Great alternative to sneakers. I normally year 7W and the width on these fit well, but they're 1/2 size too short. I'll reorder in different size.

An athleisure that fits, almost - Good looking shoe and comfortable. A little wide in the heel for my narrow foot. I am not sure what type of sock to wear though!?

Tight - Shoe looked nice. Length felt good, but depth of the toes was very shallow. Toe box was very stiff and pinched making them very uncomfortable. Soft, cushy inside. Still tight, even with padded insole removed.

Footbed was very comfortable but it was way too wide in the heel and kept slipping off. Toe area was a little tight.

The shoes are great. I bought them for my daughter who has a temporary job as a waitress this summer and was desperate for shoes that she could wear while she was on her feet for 8 hours at a time. These have been perfect, super comfortable and easy to wear. Size is accurate and the shoes fit well. My daughter has small feet (size 5) and it is hard to get shoes in that size so we love Zappos because they have a great selection of shoes in all sorts of sizes. Add to that the super fast delivery and a web site that is so straightforward and easy to navigate and you will understand why we love to shop on Zappos.com. Thank you, we'll be back soon.

This was a very cute, casual shoe which was available in a 7N, but the heel was still a little too loose for my foot. It slipped, especially my right foot. I had to return it. Service is good so I will try another style of shoe.

Get your Bugaboo too! I love these boots! They are comfortable, stylish, and very warm. By far the best snowboots ever. So what are you waiting for? Go get your Bugaboo too!

Bugaboo boots, fantasitc comfort - I just bought this boot, and it is wonderful, very warm and comfortable immediately. The boot feels comfortable on streets, but walking in the snow is where it really comes into its own. I especially liked the lightweight feel of the boot. The best winter hiker I've ever worn.

Cold feet? If cold feet is your worry, worry no more. I wore these boots without socks even, and my feet were warm. I wore them in knee-high snow for hours (well, 2 hours maybe), up in the Poconos and still my feet kept warm and dry. The thick cushioning around the ankle keeps snow from falling in, plus there's room in the toe of the shoe to wiggle your toes; you have to be able to wiggle your toes in freezing conditions, I don't care how warm the boots are. Living in Philly doesn't really require the magnitude of this boot, but after this early snow storm here I found walking on ice and slush a whole lot more pleasant than my usual "snow boots." Just make sure you have a good sturdy shoe horn, they're a little stiff getting in and out of and I'm not sure a plastic one could handle it more than a couple times. I got the blue and white ones. Awesome.

Great Boots! I just love my new Columbias! This boot is good for many things, snow & mud. We just built a new house and are still working in the yard, in the snow and muck. Needless to say my Bugabootoo's kept me warm and dry, they don't look like clunky boots either. They fit right under bootcut jeans and look great! Thanks Zappos!

Amazing - I havn't had the guts to try them on ice, but the shoes grip the road in a way that I've never experienced before. I love these boots.

Great winter boots - I haven't had much opportunity to really wear them yet, but I love the look and they feel comfortable. Can't wait to try them in the snow!

Whatta boot! I have been looking all over for a great boot to go to Russia with this winter. These were the real winners. I tried Sorels but they were too clunky to be able to walk around comfortably for hours in an urban setting. These boots grip the ground like none other. They are so warm when you try them on your feet toast up and they practically walk for you! I'm very pleased to have found this boot! Cheers!

Bugabootoo - I have worn the boots and have rated them the highest. They are incredibly warm in miserable conditions, I was amazed! The only negative is that initially they are hard to get used to just around the ankles. I was not used to having that much support, but once I got used to it they were fine! Certainly worth it and I think I will have them for a very long time as they are constructed superbly!

Warm, Happy Feet at -21 Degrees - I'm so happy I got them. I have worned them every day this week while working in Montreal and Toronto. It's been snowing and the temperatures have dipped way below zero. They offer great comfort and traction. Best investment I made this winter.
