Customer Reviews Columbia Minx™ Mid II Omni-Heat™

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.

This boots is light, warm and easy to don and doff..

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 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.

Good during winter..

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.

I was looking for a boot that would not only keep my feet warm, but dry as well. A co-worker had this boot which she has had for three years and she said it fit the bill. Columbia did not disappoint! My feet are warm AND dry - something I have not found in another winter boot.
