Customer Reviews Columbia Minx™ Shorty Omni-Heat™

I love the look of this boot and was really hoping it would work. However, it made my foot pronate and I didn't care for the elevated heel on the insole which was at least 3/4 of an inch or more. I like zero drop or really flat shoes and boots which is what attracted me to this one in the first place, because these days flat boots are hard to find. I thought I might solve the insole problem with one of my own but I still felt as if my foot wanted to lean inward as I walked. As for fit, I ordered half a size larger than I usually wear but it was still too snug for warm socks so I would recommend a whole size up. Super cute, though, so I'm disappointed they had to go back.

I liked these boots and they were fine in cold weather but today we have some snow and the red is running from the dye in the boots and they aren't waterproof. I don't recommend them for snow so living in New England they're kind of useless!

These bootie are super cozy, and the laces tighten up if you have narrow feet like mine. I'd recommend them for shuffling to the car or the market, but not for a long walk. they are a soft boot and have zero arch support. Also they run short, and the toe curls up a bit, just like in the picture. I did not keep them.

As a 50+ year old woman I think it is safe to say that I have put a lot of shoes on my feet in my lifetime. These shoes, however, have to win hands down the award for the single-solitary most comfortable shoes that I have ever worn in my life. I am a stay at home and they are so utterly comfortable I wear them around the house in place of my house slippers. Can it get better? They are comfortable! It is like walking on a memory foam mattress and it is good! I generally wear an 8½W and I got these in a 9M. I can wear thin or thick socks and they fit fine but I think an 8½ would work so I would say they are true to size. The only two things that I am not 100 percent pleased with is that they do not look quite as fashionable on me as they do in the photo. I look in the mirror and it is not so bad but looking straight down on them, eh. They are kind of meh looking (but the ultimate comfort makes me forget pretty quickly) The other thing is that I think they might want to make my feet smell. I have never noticed a strong smell (I have a keen sense of smell) but on occasion I will detect a slight odor. So far, I have only worn these a half-dozen times and have worn them about for five hours for the longest stretch. I took out the insole and washed it, figuring it must be some kind of chemical reaction and so far, I have not had any problem. Time will tell. No matter, I absolutely love these booties. I cannot imagine ever owning a pair of shoes more comfortable than these so, since I ordered the black, I think I will have Santa bring me a pair of the pink (or is it red) print in this style for Christmas. I love them and highly recommend if you are comfort-driven.

Walking a mile to work during Chicago winters are bad enough. Having cold, wet feet is just not an option. After using these for 2 weeks, I have found them to be the warmest boots...almost too hot! Nice tread and squishy sole makes my commute not so bad.

It's tough to be a size 10.5 in a world of 10's (too small) & 11's (too big). This model gives credence to the rumor that if you find a 10.5, it's either a 10 or a 11 renamed. For those it will fit, it's cute & warm.

I'm just going to say one thing(or two things) While this is not the most beautiful boot that has ever been on my foot, this Cinderella dares anyone to take it off her foot. The first time I wore this we had to make a road trip of about 2 hours (one way) Then, standing around (no sitting allowed) for about an hour and a half, then out to eat. Then home another 2 hour drive. This was business not pleasure so I was glad to get home. I got home, showered, put on my pajamas and, while I unwound pre-bedtime - I put these Columbia Minx Shorty Omni Heat boots back on my feet. Why? They felt better than my house slippers. Need I say more? (oh, yes, they're warm, they're waterproof, easy on easy off - but WHY would you want to take them off?)

A real winner for Columbia. These are like wearing slippers! While fairly light, they snug up the ankles and feel as supportive as a hiking boot. I haven't yet tested the lower range of temps, but feel they will work as specified. I want to grab the other colors while I can. Just wish there was a warmer weather boot as comfortable. The foot bed is removable, so I replaced the foam with my orthotic. The foam felt like it would be comfortable.

I like the style and they are fairly comfortable. But are not warm. The temp rating says it's good to -25. My feet are freezing in temps much higher. 20's and 30's. I am very disappointed with these boots.

I first ordered in my usual 6½M. My toe hit the end with a thin sock, so I returned and ordered the next size up, a 7M. I found this boot to be too relaxed (too wide and even really trying to tie as tight as possible I still could not get a firm fit across the instep). Loose like slippers. No stability for slippery walking at all. I am sadly returning these very cute boots.

Waterproof, comfortable, warm, (even in the arctic circle in December!), and very light and easy to walk in all day.

I love these boots! They’re so cute, comfy and warm. Most winter boots are so bulky and aren’t great for walking a dog in the below zero temps of North Dakota. They run small... I generally wear size 9.5 and had to go up to a ten.
