I put them on the other day when it was snowing and now I don't want to take them off. They are very comfortable and very warm.

I became aware of these boots from a friend and her college daughter who wears these all across campus. These are toasty warm, easy to put on, and comfy. I have Morton neuromas of the feet and these do not irritate them. The boots do run very small and I went one size larger per my friend recommendation. My big toe just has room to wiggle a bit. If you want to wear thick socks you will need to go up 1.5 to 2 sizes bigger, but the boot is so warm, it is too hot to wear super thick socks. I use the boots for shoveling, walking the dog and errands, and no cold feet as I also have Raynauds Syndrome. I wear to church and the style looks great with slacks or a long skirt, and I get many compliments. For me these are "keepers"

These boots are comfortable right out of the box, light weight and the laces are great to get the snugness just right. The only downside has been when I wear stockings, they leave lint from the furry inside. I'm a city walker and these have worked really well this winter.

These boots run small. I usually wear 8.5 and bought 10. They fit great, but you do need to keep that in mind when purchasing, especially if you like to wear thicker socks in the winter. Cozy warm in the snow and your feet do stay dry. The sole has a nice grip so you do not slip on the ice. Highly recommended.

These boots are great for cold Chicago winters. They are warm and light weight. I tried several pairs of boots before I decided on this pair. All of the other brands were heavy and a hassle to walk in. The Columbia Minx are by far the most comfy, I could wear them all day. They look super cute too! The only draw back is that the gusset only goes partially up the shaft, about 1 inch above the ankle. These probably won't work for walking through deep snow as the snow will likely sneak through the part without the gusset. I will keep searching for tall snow boot for romping in the snow with the kids. For most other winter days, these are the best!

This is a great looking boot. I was really hoping for the Dahlia color, but as it is, the boots are so short I'm giving up. I wear a women's 10, so I sized up to a 10.5 and there is no appreciable difference in the length. The boot doesn't seem to tighten down around the arch and ankle very well, and there isn't a lot of support. I can walk in my Sorel wedges all day but I don't think I could hike very far in these.

I liked these boots but not enough to keep them! They are a cute light brown color with a quilted design that makes them light and flexible. The toe box of these boots is not round - it's angled, so I think that made them feel a little too tight. I usually wear a 6.5, and I ordered them in a 7, but they still felt too small. They are easy to pull on and off. Ultimately, I purchased these and the Columbia Ice Maiden II so I could compare them, and while I think these may be a little bit cuter, I preferred the Ice Maiden.

I had ordered these in the brown and they fit beautifully. The light gray ones, on the other hand, are tighter on top of the foot. I compared the brown to these, and sure enough, the stitching is more narrow where the curve on top of the foot lays. So I have to send these back. I will try another color if they're available in my size.

I love this boot a lot but it definitely runs small. I wear an 8 and ordered a 8.5 because my old Columbia boots ran small as well. My toe went right to the end and while wearing, my right foot would fall asleep. Left is fine for some reason. I need to order the next size up.
Other than that, this boot is so great. Incredibly lightweight, it's like a regular shoe. Great traction on the bottom. Very comfortable. The fur is so soft and makes the boot look so cute. I wish it was available in black.
Not sure about the warmth yet, I think the lack of air circulation is keeping my feet cold. Will find out more when I get a better size.

Absolutely the warmest boots I have ever put on my feet. They are also so comfortable I wore them Christmas shopping! I haven't tested to see how waterproof they are but I don't plan on standing in a river in them. I wanted something to keep my feet warm and I found it! Love them!

I am satisfied with these boots. I live in NM and temperatures can get cold, however, these boots kept my feet warm. I am a size 8 but read from the reviews that these boots run small so I ordered half a size up and they fit just fine.

I finally purchased these boots after wanting them since last year. I have a pair of Sorels but found that the backs are taking too long for me to break in as they are incredibly stiff and give me blisters every time I wear them. I live in Illinois and brave Chicago winters every year, therefore I need something that will stand up to the snow. I followed other reviewers' advice and ordered a full size from my normal shoe size (ordered a 9 when I am usually an 8), and to be honest I think I could have gotten away with just a 1/2 larger instead, but I will keep the pair I ordered because the amount of extra room I have isn't enough to make the boots uncomfortable - definitely enough room for 2 pairs of thick socks if need be. As far as the quality I have one them in the snow once so far (hence my 4 star only review - need more wears to give a full 5!) and I have to say the traction from the sole is fantastic and they are extremely comfortable and warm. I love the laces as they are easy to tie and adjust. Finally, I like are slim and fashionable the design is; they go perfectly with my black Columbia coat and aren't your typical pair of unappealing and bulky winter boots. Overall I love my purchase and am excited to have something for the brutal winters coming!

These are very cozy boots. The laces make it easy to customize the fit for tiny ankles and wider calves, or vice versa. They have an interesting low-profile design. It did not feel like they had any arch support; they felt more like very tall, lace up slippers. They also felt half a size too short.

These are very nice and stylish boots but they run about a full size smaller. I usually wear a size 10 in boots so I figured a 10 1/2 would fit well but didn't so I had to exchange them for an 11.

Wanted to love these. They were cute and didn't make my big feet look huge. They were very light and comfortable but still felt like they would be warm. The one problem was that halfway up the boot the tongue transitions from being attached to the sides to unattached and right at the transition point it sort of buckles out and looks ripped even though it is not. You could see the omni-heat lining (little silver dots) poking out on one of the boots. Just didn't look right and I was worried that over time it would get worse. Had to return them.

Have to agree with other reviews that say this boot runs small.
I had to order a whole size larger than I would normally wear. It seems like it has a built in sock, which I love.

I didn't give them 5 because It hasn't gotten cold yet but wearing them to walk my dog in fields they are very comfortable and seem waterproof. I have wide feet and they fit fine. I leave the tops as shown in the picture!

I wear a size 7.5 in another Columbia boot that I own. So far, the 7.5, 8, and 8.5 have been too small. The tips of my toes touch the rubber edge.

I ordered these boots in the dead of summer, so writing a review prior to putting them to the test in New England's winter is not completely fair (and thus the only reason for having given them 4 out of 5 stars, rather than the full five stars I'm hoping they will perform). The sizing is great, the grip on the bottom of the boots is amazing, the design is fashionable, and the ease of lacing the boots is spot-on, too. My feet become cold very quickly and warming them up is difficult... I am looking forward to this upcoming winter where I will be able to officially put these to the test outdoors on the ski deck, while walking the dogs on the trail, and running errands in general. I usually wear a size 10 but ordered an 11 due to others' mention of running small. I am very pleased with ordering a size up, especially as my feet tend to be wider than the average foot. H

I had been struggling to find a good quality, attractive vegan boot. I went through a phase of buying cheap boots that only lasted a season so finally decided to invest in a good pair. When I first went to buy these they were out of my size so I bought a pair from Sorel which I promptly returned as they were extremely uncomfortable. To my delight, these Columbia boots were back in my size and I love them. They are a bit tight on the toes (width-wise), so unless you have narrow feet, I would suggest going up a half-size. That is my only complaint! They are extremely warm, I only wear 1 pair of thin socks with them and my feet are super toasty. These are the first pair of shoes that keep my feet warm, it's a miracle!

Love the boots, but after I returned one pair that was too small, it took me 2 months to get a new pair in my size. Also, would love to be able to get a spare pair of laces since they are an unusual color and will be hard to match.

The boots are nice! However, they run small & narrow! I wear a 12 with no room to size up they were tight on right and unable to put on the left. Oh well, you can't fit them all!
