Customer Reviews Columbia Minx™ Shorty Omni-Heat™

This is a fabulous boot for serious cold. They are VERY warm so if you are going to wear them inside shopping I'd be careful as my feet had felt very hot. Outside though in the cold they are great. Good traction on ice as well

A dream! I suffer from Raynaud's type symptoms and decided that this winter (southern CA, so not a real winter) I was going to keep feeling and warmth in my toes. These boots met the basic requirements I was looking for such as waterproof and 200g of insulation, and were the lowest priced of the bunch; the look was not my favorite but the price was right. I am beyond grateful for these boots. They are absolutely the most comfortable shoes in my closet. I have laced them up to do two hour prayer walks with friends and felt completely comfortable--it is normal for me to need outside arch supports though not with these boots. They have become my house slippers, my walking shoes, my quick throw-ons for an early morning yoga session...everything! I shudder when the time comes for me to take them off for the day. And the height of the shaft is perfect to fit under wider legged jeans or over tighter legged pants. So, so in love for these boots.

Loved this boot and the feel of it but...I ordered it twice in case the first pair was just defective but both pairs pressed down on the top of my foot that was painful. It was true to size in every other way. Disappointed I had to return them.

Love the style of this bootie, love the look. Unfortunately, they ran massively small. Really disappointed, as I wear a women's size 12, so there was no ordering up for me (12 is the largest they make in this style). I just wish it ran true to size. If you are able to order a size up, it's an awesome boot.

I typically wear a 7 in boots but I chose to get half size larger to fit thicker socks. As listed, it is not a wide width boot so if you have wide width or need a wider shoe, I would go with another boot. The black/pebble is cute. I was looking for a boot to get to and from work and run errands in the Wisconsin winter and these work great!

Felt quite small. I exchanged my 9.5 for a 10, but it is still quite snug. I'd recommend ordering a full size up. Not much arch support, and the sole is kind of bent upward - like rolling up toward the toe.

I thought these boots were really cute until my husband said they look like wrestling shoes, which they do! They fit like a wrestling shoe, too. I ordered my regular shoe size 7 1/2 and they are VERY snug. I kept them thinking they would stretch a little after I broke them in, but so far they haven't. I have to wear very thin socks in order for them to be moderately comfortable, but they are still tight. The bright side is they are very warm, so even with thin socks, my feet stay toasty warm. I would suggest ordering a half size up from your normal shoe size or even a whole size up if you plan on wearing thick boot socks with them.

I should have believed the other reviews and ordered a full size up. I wear a shoe size 8, sometimes 7.5, and these 8.5 are way too small. Does not provide good arch support, even with my orthotics.

I usually wear a 6.5 - 7, and got these in a 7 to accommodate socks, which it does nicely. These keep my feet warm in the snow and for general running around purposes. I recently wore them out in single digit temperatures, and my toes stayed warm. I'm not sure how they would do in the rain. My only complaint is that the cuff doesn't tighten very well, so if you are tromping around in deeper snow, you can get some snow in the top of the boot. Luckily, the rest of the lacing system keeps it from sliding any further down. The soles have some nice traction, which I've appreciated in the dry, compact snow we have had recently.

Comfortable but run very small. Usually wear a 10 or 10 1/2; got a 12! never have ordered a 12. But I like the light weight and the short height. Looking for cold weather boots to travel in but not to walk a huge amount. I am hoping these will fit the bill in December. I don't think the support amounts to much but can add an insole.

I like these boots because they are warm, waterproof, comfortable, and have a truly flat sole. Just a little more arch support would make them 5 stars. I am going to buy second pair when my size comes back in stock.

I have rather wide feet and have the worst time finding shoes or boots. So I was worried that these did not come in a wide. When I tried these on, they were a little snug, but didn't rub anywhere. After wearing them a few hours, they feel great and my feet are nice and warm, but not sweaty! Which is the main reason I purchased them!

My teen picked this out as her winter boot for the year. She loves it but says her toes are a little pinched by the end of the day.

I probably would have ordered a 10 in these shoes (based on the reviews I read) but the size wasn't available. I got the 9 1/2 instead, which is my normal size. When I first got my shoes in the mail and slipped them on, they felt pretty tight in the toes and I figured there was no way I'd be keeping them. But after switching to a thin pair of socks and wearing them around the house for a bit, I decided to keep them. It doesn't seem like my toes are crammed to the end but just a little snug from the sole to the top. I think it's because the actual shoe curves up at the toes. (So I don't think a size up would necessarily solve the issue.) I've worn these several times now, and they are very warm. I wanted something to wear in the cold weather and snow besides tall boots. Overall, good purchase for my needs but don't buy if the snug toe box would annoy you.

Super cute, but they run small (I suggest getting a 1/2 size larger than you wear in normal shoes) and you would definitely have to buy insoles because the boots sink down in the heel in a really uncomfortable way.
