Got this for my very big almost 4 year old. I at first got a 6 & had to return it as it was a little too short. (Gotta love Zappos, so quick with orders!) Once we got the correct size for him, we loved it! They do tend to fit tight, which is what you want when playing in the water!

This shirt is really tiny - I realize it should be snug, but he could barely get it on. My son usually wears an 8-10 and this shirt was way too small in a size 10. It is very short in the body length as well. It does appear to be good quality.

This runs so small. Order at least 2 sizes up! Very nice and thicker than most so should last a long time without shredding.

Very small sizing! I have a 10 year old and he is usually in size 10-12. I ordered the size 14 and he couldn't get it over his head.

I just got these from Zappos and haven't worn them outside yet. But here are the tests I did: Wet Test: I turned on the water in the tub and splashed my booted foot underneath. The bottom of the boot actually held up quite well. It was the top half that started leaking. Once water got in, it penetrated the entire boot. So, this is not a rainboot. It can handle low puddles and a few inches of wet snow. If you're in deep wet snow, you will get wet above the ankle. Overall, I was satisfied. Cold Test: It isn't cold enough outside yet to really know if these are warm boots. So I took two mini-bottles, put 1 tablespoon of water into each, placed one in the freezer and the other in the boot, which I put in the freezer. I left them both in there for an hour. When I took the bottles out, the freezer bottle was frozen solid. The boot bottle had a thick layer of ice inside of which was lots of water. Overall, I was impressed. The boot is soft and flexible, almost like wearing a supportive sock. You can spend all day in this boot without discomfort. The sole is a cushy foam that I found remarkable comfortable. I imagine it will wear down eventually, but it is very thick and cozy right now. I want to use these boots for cold city days and snow sports. That's mostly low snow in the city and dry snow in the mountains. Warm feet is most important to me. For that they seem very satisfactory. Although this boot is slightly over the price range I was hoping to spend, I think it's worth it.

Love these boots -- both cute and functional. I purchased these for a Germany/Austria trip in the middle of winter...they worked beautifully. The pair I initially purchased had some sort of slight sewing defect inside the shoe that I was afraid would rub (Zappos came to the rescue and sent me a new pair). I thought that the shoes were a bit too small when I initially was breaking them in, but after two days of wearing them they felt perfect (would also note that the first day of breaking them in at the mall killed my feet). On the actual trip though I could walk all day without any discomfort...usually with my feet being the warmest part of my body. When walking through the city my feet were never cold. After a couple of hours of hiking through snow, my toes did get a little numb, but that was after a couple of hours. I trudged through several inches of snow on the trip without any water leakage, so would say that they're not flood proof, but certainly work for 6-12 inches of snow. The boots themselves are darling and come up to about mid-calf. I have the off whites ones and the color is very nice...I didn't really realize how off-white they were until I put them up against the snow. They likely wouldn't look good with white pants, but they're cute with any other color. Overall very impressed with these shoes and think they were worth the money.

Love these boots. They are just as pictured, extremely comfortable and super warm - despite being relatively thin and very lightweight. I have them in purple and they are very stylish for snow boots. I was hesitant if they would fit because I wear a 12 wide. However, the boots are soft and flexible enough they feel great! I live in Norway and I'm so glad to have these to get me through the long cold wet winter.

I live in Minnesota so I was looking for a pair of boots that would be warm, comfortable, and add some style to my outdoor outfits. Thank you Zappos for shipping them so quickly with great customer service as always! We reached 12 degrees this past week, so I was able to really put these boots to the test. I have never owned such a warm pair of boots! I am a true believer in this Omni-Heat thing that Columbia has going on! My feet never got cold walking around the city (I even wore thin socks), and they are so comfortable that I was able to wear them all day without any blisters or sore feet! I have slightly wider feet than average, and these ran just a tad on the small size so I went up a half size. I bought the black ones and they are a more matte in real life than the picture. The rubber soles are also really great for walking on ice (we've already had snow and ice this year, go figure). If you're looking for a cute pair of stylish boots that keep your feet and toes warm, this is a great boot!

Very happy with the look and quality of these boots! I was looking for an alternative to Uggs and these boots are much more comfortable, have a nice insole and arch support(and my heels don't flop up and down when I walk) and look cuter. Have not tested them out in the cold yet, my they seem very warm. Beware, they run half a size small.

I love these boots! The picture does not accurately represent the black boot. It is not shiny black but rather more of a flat black with just a little shine. Really classy. I have a narrower foot and they fit perfect with a medium weight sock. I wear a 7 1/2 in shoe and that is what I ordered and they just what I wanted. I like they are not clunky and I can actually feel my feet. I haven't worn them in snow or ice yet but they look like they will keep me stable, warm and stylish.

I have these on right now! I love them! They have the feel and the grip of a pair of comfy sneakers! Definitely not a pair I'll ever want to take off! They are lace ups which I also love because I can adjust how tight I want them around my legs! Love the style and besides them being so super comfy, they are also super warm! Great boot!

A flexible winter boot! I live in minimalist shoes these days and now find stiff, thick soles almost painful to wear. I have wanted a "barefoot" winter boot for a long time. I tried the new barefoot boot by Merrell, but found the fit and flex all wrong - tight in toes, loose everywhere else, stiff sole. This shoe is what I was looking for! It's flexible, light, roomy in the toes, but the laces let me secure it so it stays with my feet.

I ordered these boots for my trip to Canada. I tried them at home and they fit really nice and they are cute. However the sporty look is limiting what I can wear them with. Returned because went with another Columbia boot: Ice maiden lace. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars is because of the price.

I love these boots! They are ridiculously comfortable, warm, and waterproof. I was concerned that they'd be a pain to put on because of all the laces, but they tighten easily with a single pull from the top. The soles have good traction, and I can walk long distances in them. And they look good, either under pants or with the cuffs tucked into the boots.
