These boots are super light weight and cute but So small. I would order and entire size up. Unfortunately these need to go back.

Maybe I'm expecting too much, but I feel like quality snowboots should last for more than a couple years. Third (Minnesota) winter, and they now leak like crazy, rendering them useless. I really like how lightweight they are, and they're very comfortable, but I'm wary about a second pair if I'm going to need to replace every other year. If a Columbia Rep reads this, can you please respond with how long the waterproofing in your boots should last? Thanks!

Nice boot. Definitely would be warm. Runs small, wear size 7 ordered 7.5 and still seemed a bit short. No arch support so I'm returning as this is important to me. Note: you could insert your own arch devise as the foot pad is removable.

I was very excited about these boots. After 8 years with my Uggs, I thought I should find a new pair of reliable boots.
I am usually size 7. Bought size 7.5 following the reviews, but it was tight.
These boots are calf height, leaving half of my bottom leg exposed to winter winds. They also don't seem strong enough at the top (soft fabric). The bottom sole doesn't seem to have enough grip for icy sidewalks. Sent it back.

I have a very narrow fit--I usually order "narrow" or "slim" in shoes. These were too narrow even for me. With a pair of thick socks, they were uncomfortable. I wear a size 11 in shoes/boots. I ordered an 11 and they felt as if they were a 9.5. They run small and narrow.

I bought these two years ago and they are no longer waterproof so I have to throw them away.I loved them because they were so comfortable and lightweight but expected them to last longer than two seasons :(

I liked the idea of a lightweight boot, however, after just wearing them a bit around my house, I realized they didn't provide enough support for my knees and feet. Beautiful color though!

I love these boots. They keep my feet very warm in the winter, but they were definitely not waterproof as listed.

I have to wear orthotics for very high arches/sesamoid pain...can't wear Uggs/similar style warm boots because they are SO flat and have no arch support. Sadly these didn't have enough either. I got a size up so I could fit my orthotics; still made them too tight. And without the orthotics, they were way too "soft" in the ankles and would be painful to wear. Oh well. They seemed cozy though! Probably great for less problematic feet :)

boot feels great until you stand in it. How is it possible to feel like there is nothing between you and the ground in a snow boot? I was super disappointed because they are otherwise cute and comfortable. I am returning and will keep looking.

I usually wear a 10, so I listened to everyone's reviews and ordered an 11 and they are STILL too small, so I will be returning. They did feel very warm but were a little clowny and less stylish looking than I had hoped from looking at the product photos, but that's with all snow boots I guess.

I am solid size 7 foot that runs on the wide side and I can't tolerate squished feet. So this is a return for me. I can't vouch for function as I pretty much slid one foot in and declined any further interaction.

I ordered 2 pair- this one and another boot looking to keep my feet warm. Decided on the other as it was slightly warmer. Wore those for 20 min, discovered the fabric had a tear. Returning both pair as I am afraid they must rip easily thus compromising the warmth and weather resistance design. Very disappointed as they seemed to be warm and cozy.

Columbia sizing is all over the place. I typically wear an 8.5 and sometimes a 9 in a boot. They are not figuring in the thick padding in snow boots and making a wider base or shoe. This boot fits more like an 8. Order a whole size up. They are really cute, but are not going to work for me.

These boots are cute and I like the faux fur lining but they are cut very small. I wear a 7 and I ordered a 7.5 based on other reviews. Though I have a fairly narrow foot they fit kind of tight and short. I had on regular socks, not thick socks. They felt almost more like slippers than boots... just not that substantial. For the type of winter weather we get in Chicago they just don't seem like they'd cut it. I'm sending back.

I expected more from these boots based on other reviews and boot description. Yes, they are cute, light, easy to clean, and somewhat comfortable. I wore them all weekend since NYC had about 6 inches of snowfall and below freezing temps. My feets did not stay as warm as I hoped while I was watching my kids play in the snow and again the next day while I was running errands. I was not standing on mounds of snow, cautiously standing and walking on shoveld paths. My feet felt cold while I was outside and needed to defrost them when I got home. I also wish they had a thicker sole to them. I feel very to low to the ground and not enough shock resistance. I have bad knees so that's very important to me. I sized up a half of a size bigger. A little narrow by the toe box section but with the laces you can adjust. Goes great with snowpants, leggings and jeans. Definitely warmer than my previous Northface boots and so much lighter and comfortable than my Sorels. Still looking for a better winter/snow boot.

These boots are great for warmth and walking in slippery areas. I find these boots extremely uncomfortable, they feel very constricting on my feet which I don't like. I like the style of the boots, I just don't like to actually wear them.

I received this item and tried on immediately on snow -6C yes its warm but its can not handle the ice snowing outside. Many times almost fell coz its so slippery. The warm yes but slippery cause any accident better not. The size runs bit small even-tough i put a half size bigger than my actual size still small. Will look another boots that really hold the bad winter snow in Philly.

The adhesive used to attach the sole was very visible on the shoe and made me nervous that it was not well made.

After reading the reviews, I decided to purchase these boots. I have wide feet and need space especially in the toe box. These boots are very tight in the toe box if you have wide feet. I would have to wear very thin socks, or no socks at all which is not something I want to do in the dead of winter. I'm giving them 5 stars for style because they are really cute but unfortunately, they are going back.

hi all, this is my first time in US and first time also for winter. I love the color of this boots. I usually wear 7.5 and I ordered 8.5 .STILL runs so small, and I ordered 9.5. I have a wide feet and this is actually comfortable. But if they provide wide option that would be great !
