I love, love, love these boots! It's zero degrees here but my feet are toasty warm and stylish. I ordered them a size bigger to ensure that they would fit with thick socks and they are perfect.

Really cute but too tight. I'm an 8 and these are really tight on me in regular socks. For the price I want them to feel awesome so will be returning them. Got the pretty blue color, which is now out of stock so will have to wait until that color is available again to get the next size up. Too bad!

These are toasty and comfortable! These fit exactly to size with regular socks. I think I would start feeling cramped with thick winter socks. Thankfully, due to the omni-heat technology on the inside, you do not need big woolly socks. These are so warm you could probably be barefoot and not notice. They are also super cushioned and comfortable and the grip gives you confidence on icy, uneven surfaces.

Great little boot! Exactly what I was looking for! So cute with leggings and skinny jeans! I wear them without socks and my feet stay so warm comfy. Zappos is my favorite online shopping site! Next day shipping, fast returns and top notch customer service!

Something akin to a combination of slipper and moccasin. Very warm, nice support and waterproof. The bootie is light with good grip in slush. I know this because I shoveled the drive this morning which was only 3" but the base was slippy. I did not slip. My feet stayed dry and warm. I love these winter shoe/boots.

These boots are really nice and very comfy. My daughter and I each got a pair. Had to go up 1-1.5 sizes, but that's typical for boots like this.

What I love about these boots is that they are very light weight and they are very cozy inside. You don't need very thick socks. They look nice with both sporting and casual attire. Although this doesn't have to do with the boots, I should say that Zappos gave me the best service when I returned the first pair because they had a little defect.

Love these boots. I use them all the time when i am running errands or out to do work with my goats and chickens. Warm and comfortable. easy to put on quickly. Good treads on the bottom.

It is not as expensive as other brands that are known for their winter footwear, however it has as good quality if not better. These shoes are light-weight and very comfortable. After the endless search for the perfect winter shoes (looks and function), I found these. About size, they only run small if your size is a perfect fit. I got a 6 even though I normally wear a 6. Also, they look much cuter in person. All my friends said they've liked my shoes.

Runs a bit small because the toe is more pointed than you would think. I wear an 8 and I ordered an 8.5 but had to get a 9

Love these, it's like walking on warm, fluffy clouds. I've had them about a month now and have walked through about a foot of snow with no problems. My only issue is the heel is wide.

The Columbia Minx Shorty Omni-Heat is a cute, short, warm & comfy little boot for those days when you have just an inch or two of snow on the ground, but want to keep your feet protected. Super lightweight, and the Omni-Heat works great. I live in Chiberia (aka Chicago) and take public transit, so these have passed those high endurance tests!

I bought these for my girlfriend, who has large ankles, making it difficult to find boots. Since she moved to Wisconsin from California, we've had a really hard time finding warm boots.
These are awesome, they fit and are wonderfully warm. The omni heat lining really works, I wish they made men's knee-hi ski socks made with this fabric!

Love these boots. I purchased the red. It is a darker red. Always wear a 7.5 (don't own any other size), but Zappos was out of red in my size so I sadly ordered an 8 knowing I would have to return them. Happily, this is the first 8 in my closet. Shoes felt a little strange when I first put them on, but after wearing them around the house a couple hours, they had formed to my feet and are like bedroom shoes. The lining is super warm. I don't like wearing thick socks and most of the time do not wear any socks - just the shoes and this works great with these boots (if you like thick socks, take my word for it and go up a full size). Also, if you are looking for arch support, not the right boot for you.

I normally wear a 7.5 but often go up to 8 for boots, so I debated about the size on these. Based on reviews I went with 7.5 and that seems to work though they are on the snug side (but not so tight that I want to size up to an 8). They aren't bright red, not quite as dark as a burgundy; I think they're cute. They are super warm and cozy! Traction is good - I think I will feel quite safe in the ice and snow. They are only ankle height but we don't get a lot of deep snows here so they should be just right for me. Overall pleased with these and will consider the taller version if I ever decide I need taller snow boots!

These are the most comfortable boots I have ever worn. Not only are they warm but they have plenty of room for my toes. Zappos, I love your customer service. It is excellent. Thanks Zappos!

Love these boots. Shoveled my walks in 14 below zero temperature and my feet never got cold. Plenty of support and cushion for wearing all day and walking the dog.

I wear 9 or 9 1/2 narrow shoes. I ordered these boots in a 9 1/2 and the fit is perfect. If I wanted to wear heavy socks, a 10 would be good.
Boots are comfy right out of the box. This will be my goto boot this winter, unless snow is too deep.

I've worn these to/from working and walking to the local coffee shop via snowy sidewalks, so I have not truly "winter-tested" them (i.e. snowshoeing, hiking, etc.). I ordered a half size larger than I usually wear so I can wear a wool sock with them, and they fit perfectly. They are waterproof - which is wonderful - and the sole has excellent grips to keep you safe when it's slippery. Also, the sole is flexible which keeps foot muscles engaged and warm. Also, the fur on top and the red/tan laces make these a decently cute winter boot. I am very pleased with my purchase.

Bought these for a trip to Iceland and couldn't be happier. They're super warm, comfortable, & waterproof. I bought them half a size bigger like other reviews said, which was nice when I wore thick wool socks, but with normal socks they felt too big.

These boots are great! They're much cuter in person. Like other reviewers said, there's not much arch support, but you could easily put an insole into them. They are cushioned like a slipper or Nike Free, but still offer support. I'm not sure if they're hardcore hiking worthy but I wear them running errands and on campus and they're great. I had to buy a half size up!

My feet are so warm and dry, even in 20 degree Chicago weather. The boots are light and easy to walk in, like sneakers, and they don't let in water if you're walking through cold rain. The red is bright and cheerful. I'm buying a pair for my mom for a gift.

These may quite possibly be the most comfortable and warmest boot I've ever had. They have lots of padding for the foot, and the sole grips well in snow and ice. They are stylish enough to wear around town with jeans and leggings, but warm and rugged enough to trek through mounds of snow with ski gear. My feet have yet to be cold and I've already endured 5 degree days this year! Love these boots!
