Customer Reviews Columbia Minx™ Shorty Omni-Heat™

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.

I ordered these and the mid ommi at the same time both in size 8, these felt much bigger than the others which really is strange since they are the same style with different shank heights. I sent these back since they were too big and kept the taller ones.

These are very comfortable, and seem to run true to size. I normally wear an 8.5 and in some shoes a 9. I ordered these in 9, and they fit well. Not a lot of extra room, and with a thick sock they might be a little tight. Although they are rated for -25 below, there's no way they will live up to that claim. I live in Wisconsin, last night we had rain that turned to ice then to snow. Thees boots arrived yesterday, coincidentally. I wore them to work this morning. They have good traction (I walk up a hill about 1,000 feet every day. But my toes were feeling the cold, And the temp this morning is about 20, with a wind chill it feels like 8. The sole feels a little thin too. Overall very comfortable, just don't think you're getting a superwarm below zero warmth boot. I like that they're short with lace ties, although i just slipped them on this morning and they are fine. Good for running errands on the weekend, which is what I bought them for.

These are super cute and comfortable (now). I normally wear a size 8 in most kinds of shoes, and based on reviews, bought my size 8 as usual. The fit was nice, with a bit of wiggle room all around the toe box. Perfect for wearing thick winter socks. I got these for a pair of cute, mostly waterproof, cold/wet/rainy/snow boot. They fit the bill nicely. They're not too warm, just right. Now for the warning: these boots come with a memory foam insole that is very squishy and comfortable, at first. You slip into these babies and think, ah...soft...cushy. But then you start walking around in them and realize fairly quickly that there is no structured support for your heal, side of foot and arch. Just a soft, squishy pillow on the entire bottom of your foot. Sounds like it should be nice, but I removed the insoles, placed them on the floor and stepped on them only to see my entire ankle slide down, toward the inside of my foot as a result of absolutely no support for my arches are the sides of my feet. They just kind of collapsed. Because these were so cute, cuddly and comfortable, I decided to purchase a pair of Dr. Scholl's Custom Fit insoles, swapped the original insoles out with them and have been wearing these cuties happily ever since. There seems to be even more room now that I've removed the pillows, so if you choose to do this, you may want to go a half size down, otherwise, like mine, they may fit a bit big. It pushed the price of these babies up to a level I'm not overly comfortable with, but for the cuteness and all weather wear that I know I'll get out of these, it was money well spent.

I really wanted to love this boot. It fit my foot well and it was warm. But when I walked, it made my foot roll inward and made for a very uncomfortable and unnatural walking experience. Really disappointed and had to return. I bought a boot by Sorel and am really liking it.
