Customer Reviews Columbia Bugaboot™

Love everything about these boots! Excellent protection from water and snow, and very comfortable even wearing them all day. Before, I would usually bring regular shoes to work and change into them after walking in, but with these, I just wear these all day and don't even notice. I'm glad I read the other reviews before ordering because many others said these run a bit small. I ordered these a half-size up and I'm glad I did because they fit perfectly. If I ordered true to size, they probably would feel a touch small. Excellent boots, would highly recommend!

These were shipped and received very quickly. The fit was nice and comfortable. Wore them in the house for almost an hour and could tell how much the breathable aspect is of these boots. No sweating, or feeling as though my feet were being suffocated. Can't wait for the snow to fully give the boots a thorough test. (well I can wait longer for the snow) Make sure you use the fitting guide from Columbia's website, per there sizing I needed a size 16 even though I normally wear a 15 in most brands.

With the additional padding and insulation internal to the shoe, the size feels much shorter and constricting. I wear a 13.5 but went with the size 14 and it still felt uncomfortably short with plenty of constriction around the ankles. I instead went with the Bugaboot Plus-II Omni-Heat, which had less padding and was actually roomier (no loss in warmth due to different shoe technology to keeping feet warm). The result was that I had to drop down to a size 13 boot in the Plus-II. This isn't a bad boot but it's much heavier than the Plus II and the constriction on the ankles is noticeable.

Just bought these for my 11 yo son. We got them a size too big at first because we followed the advice from other reviews. Way too big! FREE RETURN! Thanks Zappos! He now loves them and says they are the most comfortable boots he has had! He has been wearing men's size 10-10 1/2 so finally fit well into 11's with room to grow. Yes, big kid! Picky about shoes too. He has only worn them a few times but these seem to be made for the long haul.

I purchased these boots for my son. He LOVES LOVES LOVES them! I did listen to other reviewers and ordered 1 size larger. He said they fit and felt just fine.

Great fit! Soft, warm and very comfortable, They are accommodating for people that utilize orthotic foot inserts. I have left sided deficit which has resulted in significant swelling (edema) of my left foot/ ankle (similar to some stroke victims).

My husband is a size 15 and based on the reviews we ordered a size up. The 16 fit great and kept his feet very warm and comfortable during -6° wind chill as we walked around outside. He is very satisfied with the boots. They were a great buy.

I wear size 12 or 13 wide. I bought size 14 EE. I'm 6' 1" about 260 lbs. They fit great with medium weight to thick socks.

Bought these for my son who works delivering for Poland Springs. Last winter was tough in NY and hi feet were always wet and cold. He wears a 14W and sometimes these are hard to find. Ordered them for a Christmas gift but he will need them before. He tried them on and they fit great. Very pleased with this purchase!He will be warm and dry this winter.

My husband loves them. Great quality. Fit perfectly. Looks like they will hold up well in New England winters. As always, Zappos is great to deal with.

Nice boot, but sized too small. These were to replace other Columbia boots of the same size and similar style which had lasted me 11 years. I'll try a larger size and see if those will fit.

I choose these boots for the styling as well as color. I was happy with the laces and ease of putting them on and taking them off. The Bugaboot did a great job of keeping my feet nice and dry. I was so impressed, I bought a pair for wife for Valentine's.

Great boot with excellent waterproof protection and warmth. I gave the size rating as felling a half size smaller then listed due to the insulation inside. The boot is very comfortable and until the inner lining compresses it does feel a little snug (Not uncomfortable, just snug). After wearing it a few time everything settled in and is now perfect. I was a believer in Timberland boots before, but now I would not think twice about buying another pair of Columbia's. Great boot, Great price!

Had these boots for a couple of weeks and I love them. I bought them for wearing around town to replace a pair of Sorels that I've had for many years. We've had a few cold days and I walked to work to test them out. They were great! Like others I have found that the boots fit small, particularly in the toe. I usually wear a 9.5 and ended up with a 10. I probably would have gone up to a 10.5 if I'd been in a store and didn't have to wait for another shipment. I also have a very narrow foot and find these snug.

Great winter boots for my 12-year-old. Warm, waterproof, and a cool hunter look. Clunky but in bad weather doesn't matter.

The boots were ordered as a gift for my husband. They were delivered quickly and look exactly like the picture. The fit is pretty accurate. Happily the weather has been good and he has not had to use them. They were purchased for walking on snow and ice and shoveling snow. Hopefully I can re-review them after they have been used for awhile.

Awesome! Very warm! I wear a 11.5 and I thought they were a little tight at first but I broke them in and they feel fine to me now. You might want to get a half size larger if you want to wear two pair of socks.

Normally wear a 14 dress shoe and 15 running shoe, ordered a 15 in this boot and it was too small. Had to exchange and order a 16, especially if you are wearing thicker socks for the winter.

Chicago 2013 Winter was horrible had a pair of winter boots that barely bad it thru. Picked these up cause of the brand name and price. Tried them on feel and look are a 1/2 size bigger. If anyone drives a mid size or smaller car it may be difficult with these on? I am waiting for the first cold day with snow to fall to try them on. Will be keeping an update on these boots. Good price and reliable brand.

Purchased these on Zappos 12/28/13. I was very worried about the fit after reading all of the reviews. The only size they had available was my true size 9.5. I had it in my head that I was definitely going to need to return them for maybe even a 10.5 because of what everyone was saying. I did order them in a Wide.. upon arrival - excellent looking boot 100% perfect fit. Perhaps it's because I'm a female.. But I do not have dainty feet. Super warm/heavy/sturdy boot. The boot is pretty hardcore. Large like a snow boot. I have already taken them hiking 3 times. They are awesome in mud/water - I did take them on ice today and they only provide standard traction. They don't have a super hero grip or anything on ice - but they are great in snow and have excellent ankle support.

It had a hole in the left insole and they were tight with thick wool socks, so we're sending it back and ordering a size up. Hopefully, no hole this time.

My husband has crazy huge feet - size 17. It's nearly impossible to find boots that fit him and are under my budget. This is a great boot! Very warm, true to size, and sturdy.

These boots were awesome. They kept my feet warm and dry with 10 inches of snow.

I ordered these boots for my boyfriend who usually wears a size 10.5. We had to exchange them for an 11.5W because he couldn't even get his foot into the 10.5. it's a good boot, it just runs very small and tight.

These are my first snow boots. I bought a 10½ in black. I generally buy a 10½ so the fit was true to size. It was different feel in three different tries. Without socks, they fit with perfect looseness, with think socks, they will be perfect too as there is plenty of insulation, with sport socks, they were getting towards stuffy, but when I tied the lace that felt better. The arch support is okay. Not great like people say. The sole is not flexible. Which plays in to factor the rigidness of upper neck, leading to rubbing at the lower calf. On my first day of wear, I felt a lot of rubbing on the lower calf above the ankle - to the point of discomfort. It bothered during driving as well (only on the left only, as I have a clutch which needed frequent shifting). I did feel the same rubbing while I was walking. Is that just new shoe needing to break in a little? It has a synthetic exterior, so I do not know how much break-in will happen.
