Customer Reviews Columbia Bugaboot™ Omni-Tech®

Love these! These boots are so comfortable and warm. They keep my feet completely dry. They have great tread and grip, and they are very stylish too. I would absolutely recommend these boots.

This shoe is very pretty. Looks great with pants and skirts and is so comfortable. I'm buying a pair for my sister's birthday because she is always commenting on how much she loves mine! They are definitely worth the price. A very high-quality, fashionable shoe.

Love these boots! These boots are well worth the money and will hopefully last me a long time. Prior to this pair, I was wearing two pairs of socks and regular hiking boots and my toes were still freezing. With these boots, I only have to wear one pair of socks and my feet are as warm (and dry) as can be!

Very Warm boot - Keeps Your Feet Dry! Living in Chicago I need boots to keep my feet warm and dry, and the Columbia Bugaboot Omni-Tech does the job. Recently we had minus zero degree weather and my feet remained warm as I had to walk a bit.

Bugga Boot - This boot was totally wonderful -I loved being able to get my small size (no one in the stores hardly carry them), they were free shipping (which is amazing) and if they didn't work I could send them back for free - (Awesome!) I couldn't have asked for more and I definitely will do my shopping on line with Zappos for now on. I moved from Louisville (which had a Zappos) to Minnesota and was so excited to get the deal that I got since with the multiple inches of snow - I needed boots.

Great boot! It looks good and is really warm. What more could you want? I got a half size larger to make sure there was room for a warm sock. It was just right.

Best Boot to buy - I was in need of snow boots and all the others weren’t up to par with keeping my feet warm. These babies are stylish and durable! I recommend these to anyone looking for a great cold weather boot, my father got them for men’s and was outside all day in 32 degree weather and his feet were sweating! So they work!!

Nice - I put this on and it really is like walking on air. Very cushy. Boot is a little taller than I wanted, but nice. My only problem is that while I wanted something to keep my feet warm while I'm on the ambulance during the colder months, I'm afraid these might be TOO warm! LOL I'm not sure I"m going to keep them yet, but I do like them.

Comfort all the way! My boots fit well from the moment I put them on. It was like walking on little pillows. Very warm but not too warm.

These are sturdy, comfortable, roomy -- though they are not as warm as my sheepskin boots (which are not suitable for snowshoeing, the reason for buying another pair). They do appear to be waterproof, have good traction. My husband has the heavier, -65 Bugaboot and says his feet always stay warm. If warmth is a big concern, I would get those.

My Bugaboots are very well made with extremely safe lug soles which make my long walks safer on our icy snowy roads this winter. I could have worn a size smaller as they seemed to be generously sized which does make them slip. Overall I`m pleased as they are sturdy and comfortable.

Too big to drive in - This boot felt great walking around on our carpets inside. After deciding to cut the tags and wear them, they soon felt a half size too big. Now I wear a mens sock when I wear them to make up the difference. They also have left marks around my lower calf, red and sore for two weeks now, despite the heavy socks, and wearing them for an hour and a half, total, split between two dog walks, a day. And for anyone who drives a stick shift, get ready to hit the gas and brakes at the same time with one fell swoop of your foot, and be unable to smoothly operate your clutch. Needless to say, I have already ordered another pair of boots here after owning these for maybe three weeks. For walking out in blizzards, not for driving your car in! And I doubt that Yak Trax will fit over the HUGE molded sole of the boot, so no walking on ice with your 85 LB dog on a lead. I wasted $100 on shoes to shovel the driveway in.

More like a hiking boot than an everyday winter boot - These boots will definitely keep you warm, but they are heavy and more "overbuilt" than I needed for braving the Chicago winter. It seems more like a hiking boot than an everyday snow/winter boot. Also, the heel is a little higher than I like in an outside book. The brown color is more muted in person.

Good overall boot - I live in North Dakota so I was looking for a high quality warm boot as our winters are very long and cold here. I really like the look of these boots; I wear them out to run errands all the time. The neck of them is a little stiff, but I'm sure that will break in. The laces are a little short, that's prob. my only complaint. They are a good boot to run around in but probably not to be out in very cold weather for a long period of time.

These were even cuter in person than I expected, in a sturdy snow bunny sort of way, and very comfortable and warm for a trip to iceland in the dead of winter, but they rubbed my calf in a way that was extremely painful (they sort of hit a nerve). It may be a design flaw in the boot or it may be a design flaw in my leg, but i cannot wear them. I wear a 9 or 9.5, sometimes a 10, and the 9.5 was perfect in these.

Too clunky. Because my feet are wide I can range from a 7.5 to 8.5. And 8.5 in this style fit my feet beautifully and felt cozy in the house. However, the sole doesn't give at all walking on my wood floors, and the shaft is too high. Thanks to the reviewer with the "red mark" on her calves I will be returning them. Can't comment on the arches; I wear orthotics. I like the looks, though!

Love the boots, even if they’re bulky; they have great traction, but I returned them because the laces kept breaking. Columbia’s fix was to send me another pair of laces (that lasted 2 weeks - thanks!), but the issue is with the relatively sharp edges of the metal loops the laces pass through.

Rubber suddenly cracked and fell apart. These boots were bought about 5 years ago. They were worn for one or two days a year and stored indoors in a closet. Suddenly, the rubber on the lower area of the uppers cracked and fell off. I assume it is due to deterioration of the rubber, but considering their minimal use and indoor room-temperature storage, it seems quite unusual.

I've had this version of boot for over five years. Since the Washington D.C. area only occasionally gets snow, my boots have been used very little, they look like new. This winter, we received over 20 inches of snow in one storm. Lots of snow to shovel. I get out my Columbia Bugaboots (which are stored in a bedroom closet) and do my share of shoveling. After coming inside, I discover that my left boot has cracked in about three places around the rubber. They appear to have dry-rotted. I am very disappointed with the little bit of use I got from these boots. They should have lasted me the rest of my life. They were probably worn 10-12 times during the time I had them. Looking for another brand.

I was so excited when I ordered these boots. I work outside on the frozen concrete and was so looking forward to having warm feet. I was thrilled to get a name brand boot rather than a WalMart item. They are nice looking but I wore them one full day at work and my feet hurt so bad I wanted to cry. They rubbed my calves raw, the bottoms of my feet really hurt for 4 days afterward. My feet hurt so bad it woke me up in the night while I was sleeping. After a week I tried them again. I spent too much money to toss them out. I wore them today for about 3 hours. It was horrible. It is 14 degrees out and I would rather freeze than wear those boots.
