Customer Reviews Columbia Minx™ Mid II Omni-Heat™

These boots have many pros and a couple of cons. PROS: 1. They're warm. 2. They seem to live up to their waterproof claim (although I only used them in foot-deep fresh powder, so nothing really slushy or wet), but I did hike in said foot-deep powder for several miles and not a drop of moisture got through. My feet also stayed toasty the whole time (see Pro #1). 3. They're really light, so not clunky at all and they don't weigh you down in the snow. CONS: They have almost no arch support. You can literally feel the contours of the earth through the soles of the shoes. If you're walking on light, fluffy snow, and if you don't get arch pain in shoes that have no support, this might not bother you too much. If you're walking over rocky terrain, or if you need some arch support, this would get painful real quick. I remedied this problem by putting in my orthotics (which fit). They provided the arch support I needed (I would not have kept these boots had I not had this work around) and I got to enjoy all the other benefits of the shoes. They don't feel super well made (I can imagine them lasting a couple of seasons max), but they're decent quality for the price. For my purposes, they did the job and looked somewhat fashionable to boot.

Almost every shoe I own is size 8.5. I got these in size 9 and they're too tight! I can put them on, but my toes feel cramped and there's some pressure across the top of my foot. They seem warm though, and are cute for a snow boot.

Very comfy! However, these run REALLY small! I usually wear a true size 8, sometimes a 7.5. I ordered 8.5. I probably could have used a 9. the boots could use more arch support if you are doing a lot of walking etc. I will try to put a small arch support in. If it weren't for an upcoming trip to Colorado I would return these for a half size larger.

Great boots. I may return them thou they feel a bit snug.

Having a size 12 foot, it is difficult to find snow boots that fit well. These boots fit better than the sorels I've tried in the past. They are comfy, but give no wiggle room for toes. So far so good:)

I bought two pairs of boots and ended up returning this pair. I was searching for a casual boot that would look super cute with skinny jeans or leggings. The style of this boot was just a bit sportier than I was looking for. The shaft of this boot was a little shorter than I expected too. These did seem to be mighty toasty however and super lightweight. I ended up keeping the Sorel Trivoli II.

Nice warm and waterproof boot, just what I was looking for but unfortunately they are going back. There is no arch support and frankly no support at all. They felt better with the laces tightened up but I ultimately decided I don't want to be tightening and untightening laces every time I wear them.

These are very comfortable and easy to wear boots that keep my feet warm and dry. I won't give them 4 stars simply because they aren't especially attractive.
