Customer Reviews Columbia Ice Maiden™ Lace

LOVE these boots! Great traction on slippery slopes, super warm and so very cute! I normally wear a 6.5 so I ordered a 7. Perfect!!

It came down to this pair, or a more expensive pair of North Face boots, and I'm glad I chose these. They're super comfy, true to size, and incredibly warm. I'm really happy I didn't spend money more on a pair that does exactly what these do.

Before purchasing these boots, I spent time reading the reviews others had left. I couldn't agree more with what was said! They are lightweight, comfortable (I walk our dog 2-3 miles a day), and they are very warm. I wear them to my son's hockey games and my feet are sweating! I ordered them a half size bigger and they are a perfect fit. I have room to wear thick socks if it's really cold. They are also very stylish and just an overall nice winter boot.

Love these boots! Ordered them half size larger because of the fleece lining, and they fit perfect. Didn't need to break them in, comfortable right out of the box. Ordered the pewter color, looks great to wear with jeans on the weekend. Was worried they would be too warm for me, not the case at all. No chance I'll be returning these!

These were great right out of the box! I was going to Iceland and needed boots that not only would be super warm but comfortable to walk around in. These guys were both. They look super cute with jeans tucked in them. If you'd want to wear heavy socks with these, order a half size up. I'm a 7.5 in regular shoes and an 8 in boots. I got these in an 8 and I was able to just wear regular socks...but it didn't matter because my feet stayed super warm and dry!

These are comfortable and I bought aside 8 which has some room for bulky socks. I run a 7.5-8 but the 7.5 was too perfect. I recommend these for winters.

Just what I wanted! I needed boots that would be good in the snow, have enough traction and keep my feet warm, without weighing my feet down or being uncomfortable to walk in. I have a pair of work boots for snow shoveling but I wanted these to walk my dog in the winter. I just took them out for the first time tonight and they kept me warm with a windchill in the 20s. I will get to test them in snow soon but I made that decision based upon other reviews saying that they were waterproof.

Had ordered six different pairs of boots hoping one would work. Columbia Ice is the winner hands down. I knew soon as I slipped on the first boot straight from the box that it would be. A person can just tell. When I was young, my parents owned a shoe store and my Dad always said that shoes should be comfortable immediately; no breaking in should be required. I ordered these for Thanksgiving in Michigan and they kept me very warm walking in the woods. It was an entire month before they got the frigid test when a wicked wind drifted the driveway shut. Had to get out and shovel the white stuff wearing my Columbia boots. Coming back inside, I could see water droplets from melting snow gather on the boot toe. Yes, perfect boots for cold and wet weather that fit just right. Comfortable for walking, too. Get them. Now. I'm 64 years old and have worn 9M for decades.

As always, I love Zappos! These were shipped fast; looked just like the description, and are true to size. These boots are very warm and cozy. I always put my own inserts in my shoes, so with my inserts they are very comfortable. They are perfect for cold weather, and look very cute over skinny jeans or leggings.

Loving this boots. Just got them delivered yesterday. I walk with confidence that im not going to slip in this New Mexico weather. Had to get snow boots since it snows in Santa Fe, and I made the right choice. I wear a siz 9, so I got a 9 and kept thinking, hopefully they are not too small. Great fit. I am able to wear thick socks and still are comfortable. Boots actually came early. They were suppose to come on a Wednesday came on a Tuesday. Since the boots did come early, I was a little upset that Zappos does not require to sign for the boots and UPS just left them there. But happy that my neighbors didnt really pay any mind to a box just laying there. Other then that its snowing here and these boots are great.

I got these boots for my daughter who just graduated from college and starting a new job in Switzerland. She is tall and wears size 11. She also has a high instep. These fit perfectly and she said they are super comfy and super warm. Plus they don't make her foot look big at all! Very pleased with my purchase!

These are GREAT boots for snowy icy conditions. Not once did I feel unsteady in my step. Kept my feet toasty while I was standing in slush. Very comfortable.

I have large feet and I am in a constant search for good fitting stylish shoes. I love these boots. I got them for a trip to Colorado and they were perfect for the trip. I am very happy with these boots.

I bought these for my daughter who's in college in New England. She loves them. The style is "cool" enough for any young lady to wear and she reports that they are warm, cozy and extremely comfortable to walk long distances from class to class in. The color is lovely, and I just wish they came in wide widths for me!

I purchased these boots for a trip to NYC in the winter. I am a California gal not used to the cold weather and my feet were toasty warm the entire time. I literally spent hours walking in these boots and they were very comfortable. The one thing I did do was add arch supports.

I love these boots! They've kept me warm and dry while shoveling snow this winter and I'm no longer sliding down my driveway either. I also walked about three miles in them to see our town's holiday lights again in the snow. Warm, dry, comfortable! Can't ask for more. And they're cute--even my teenagers think so.

Most comfortable stylish winter boots! Keeps my feet warm in these cold NYC winters. These are the ones you want, stop searching you found the perfect winter boot.

These boots are awesome. They are definitely waterproof; I wore them in the rain and my feet stayed completely dry. I am always cold, my extremeties are frequently numb in the winter, and at 30 degrees I was quite warm and comfortable. I have gotten complements on how cute they are every time I wear them.

These boots are nice and warm, and they seem to have a good amount of traction. The faux fur at the top is cozy but I haven't tried tucking jeans into the boots to see how well that would work. I wear a 9.5N in regular shoes, 10.5 in running shoes, and the 10 fits me well if I have thicker socks on - though they are still a bit wide on me.

This are so cute. I was looking for a good cute snow boot, something with a little style. These are great, warm and I love the look and the gray color is fab.

Love these boots! Super cute, super warm and look even nicer in person! True to size, this is a non bulky boot that is actually fashionable! Upper is a bit stiff, but overall, the best winter boots I have ever bought. Love these super cute boots! My friends are going to be envious when they see these.

I ordered these along with Ice Maiden slip and Sorel Cumberland II. These are the winner. Ordered my regular size 8 and they feel great with regular cotton socks and thicker wool socks. They even feel great barefoot. I wanted boots that I could slip on to take the dog out at night. The Ice Maiden Slip were very tight and actually required me to use two hands to get the boot on. The lace up version allows me to keep the laces loosely tied for easy slip on and off, with the option to tighten them up for regular use. I ordered Pewter/blue coral and to me they look like a pretty gray on grey. I don't see any blue. The whole boot, including laces, looks like the same color, with the exception of the small strip up the back. The Sorel boots were very comfortable and the turtledove color was pretty, but the boot looked a bit bulkier and more rugged. I think The Ice Maiden Lace will have more uses for me, playing in the snow with kids and dog, and also out with boot cut jeans over it. Thanks Zappos!

I compared these boots to the Columbia Minx and the Keen Bailey low boots. They were the clear winner. I have hallux rigidus - a problem with the MTP joint (ball of the foot) and need a lot of soft cushioning. I also need boots that do not flex too much and protects the joints when I am walking. These boots appear to have it all. They are much more cushioned and softer than the Keen boot. Also, the last in that boot sort of turned up at the toe, which is bad for my foot. The Minx had a very different feel as well. More of a barefoot feeling boot with flex. These styles might work for some people, but not for me. I also like the way this boot looks. Sturdy, functional, and yet attractive. I ordered up half a size, as I usually do with boots. I probably could have gotten away with the same size as my shoe, but boots usually seem to shrink a bit as you wear them in snow. I expect these to be warm and cozy. These are recommend.

These have to be the most comfortable boots I have ever bought. Slipping them on is like putting your foot through a cloud. I have only worn them around the house so far, as it is too warm here for boots, but am taking them on vacation in a colder climate and feel sure they will hold up beautifully.

Bought these in my usual size (12) and they fit great; plenty of room for thick socks, but warm enough without them. Very light weight, cute and comfortable. I can wear them all day without any foot pain. I have plantar fasciitis and I do not need to wear my inserts with these boots, although I could fit them in if I needed to. Can't beat the service you get at VIP Zappos. Thank you Zappos. You are the best. XOXO
