Heavenly! Exactly what I was looking for - a slip on, lightweight, water resistant, light-wintery boot to sit by the front door to slip on when I run outside for something. They are comfortable. As a matter of fact, I have them on right now for slippers. I usually wear about an 8, but got an 8.5 to fit light wool socks in if I want. Also they stay on perfectly well without zipping up the zippers at all. I don't often rave, but these are perfect - like having a lightweight down jacket with a rubber sole on your feet! Would also be the perfect shoe to take camping.

I bought these because I was sick of tripping all over in my Uggs and wanted something less chunky that would survive New England winters, and these exceeded my expectations. They are insanely warm, waterproof, the support is fabulous, and they look pretty cool too. They performed amazingly well in VT these past weeks with all of our snow and the omni-heat layer really does keep your feet super warm. I like them so much, I bought a matching Columbia coat with the omni-heat layer (which is also the best coat that I have ever owned, and also super streamlined and slimming while being really warm in the zero degree weather we had this week). I am not normally one for superlatives, but these are the best boots that I have ever owned, and everyone should buy them...like, now!

Love, love, love! Just wore these out for the first snowfall. They kept me warm without making my feet feel hot, and they're really comfy! Definitely snow proof, and did very well on a patch of ice. These boots are somewhat formfitting, but have enough room in the shaft to tuck jeans into. Really glad I got them!

I love the way these boots look, but they were so tight on my toe. I have narrow feet so if I try to go up a size they'll be flopping off of my heel with every step. So sad to have to return these, they're so cute!

I love these boots. I don't think they run too small; I'm usually between a 6.5-7; the 6.5 was a little too tight and the 7 is perfect with heavy socks. You don't really need heavy socks, as these are so WARM! I was not, however, expecting them to be as comfortable as they are: the footbed conforms to your foot and is super springy. Warm, light, waterproof, super-non-skid, not gigantic, and not ugly. I couldn't ask for anything more.

These boots aren't the most attractive, but not bad. They are, however, the lightest, easiest on/off boots I have ever worn. They feel like slippers when you put them on with lots of cushion and support. I was all set to send them back when I saw them and then put them on and it was love. Would recommend to anyone who wants a good winter boot without needing to make a major fashion statement (though I have received many compliments on them).

Not the most attractive boots by far, but I really like these, and have worn them pretty much daily since they arrived. They are very light-weight, and fairly warm (nothing, and I mean nothing, will completely keep my feet warm if it's cold out). I am a big fan of the Omni-Heat fabric that Columbia uses, and it works well in these boots. I wanted a boot with a narrow shaft that I could wear wider-legged pants over, and these work well for that. They are also roomy enough that I can tuck my pants into them if it is wet outside.

These are the most comfortable boots I have ever worn! Well worth the price! I walk around my house in them like slippers because of the comfort and they kept my feet warm after hours in the snow with my children! Buy them! You will love them! A+. But make sure you buy a half size up or they will not fit!

These boots are light weight, warm, and comfortable. They are perfect for all my winter outdoor chores and taking long walks with my dog. I would buy them again.

I have tried on so many different snow boots, and these are by far the best ones out there. The other boots that claim "slip on" are a joke. These are super easy to put on, are very cute, and keep my feet warm and dry. These are the best, hands down. I have wide feet and these were still perfect. I did get one size up, for extra space and comfort. I recommend doing that. I can still wear socks too and it doesn't feel too tight. You can easily tuck in your pant legs too (I hate when they get wet from the snow). They have pretty good grip although I'm not sure how they fare on ice. But for snow and rain, these boots rock. Also, the zipper area has fabric stretched behind it so there is no way water can come in, even if they are unzipped. So awesome. Love these! My dog loves them too, since I'm more willing to trudge through miles of snow for him with these boots on.

This hat is warm, lightweight, form-fitting, and breathable. However, the ear holes make for a huge amount of wind noise with the slightest breeze. While biking with it under my helmet, it's louder than traffic on a busy street. Distracting and unsafe. If I'm going to pay this much for a hat, it better be an awesome hat. It was clearly not tested before it went to market.
