Customer Reviews Columbia Minx™ Mid II Omni-Heat™

I had these boots for two years. I liked them and they were warm but were not for snow or rain. They became wet easily after wearing 3x therefore I only used them two winters. You must also size up a full size as they run small.

This is a nice lightweight, stylish boot, in great colors. But as said in other reviews, it runs exceptionally narrow and small (along with no support). I do have normal to wide feet, but have a narrow heel, ankle and thin calves. I ordered several pairs to compare, in FOUR different sizes from Columbia and another supplier. Couldn't find a single pair that came close to fitting well. If this boot is tweaked for 2016, I'd buy it in the British Tan color! I could only give it two stars because of the weird fit.

I purchased these boots few months ago as I needed a nice pair for Chicago winter. I've been wearing them basically every day and loved the fact that they very warm and seemed to be waterproof, however once the snow started to melt and we got this rain/snow they soaked through. I was very upset as I thought it's Columbia and they should last. It looks like I might have to look for another pair that will actually be waterproof.

I bought these boots a couple winters ago because I've been buying Columbia for well over a decade the the quality until this point was great. These boots failed miserably. They have stitching saying Waterproof but the boots don't seem to have been taught how to read, because they aren't. When I go hiking in the snow I make certain to have dry socks and shoes ready for changing into waiting in the car. Will be replacing with a different brand.

My regular shoe size is a women's 7. I ordered a 7 and it was too small. Then I ordered a 7.5 and it was too small! I had to return twice...very frustrating. The sizing of this shoe is very inaccurate. The product looked great though.

I have had these boots for less than a year and they are not warm in weather under 20 degrees F. I occasionally work outside for increments of less than 30 minutes; by the time I'm through, my toes and the bottom of my feet are freezing. They are waterproof, as I've walked through snow, slush and stepped in puddles. I love how lightweight they are! I can walk and even run (to catch the train not actual cross country running) in them! They're height is perfect, as I walk my dogs through the snow during the winter. Example: Today it was -15 F I started my car before I left and went back inside the house, but my drive to the train station was 20 minutes. 5 minutes into the drive my body was warm (with winter clothes/coat/scarf) and my toes were freezing even with the heater blowing warm air onto them. In addition, while sitting on the train they're so cold I'm tempted to remove them, knowing they'll warm up faster. Instead, I leave them on for 37 minutes when they no longer are freezing to the point they hurt. They're still cold at the end of the train ride (40 min ride) and I walk 10 minutes to work and again freezing cold. Yet once I've been inside for an hour they are sweating and I can't wear them all day inside.

I bought these boots last year when we had a mild winter. They are very light weight and comfortable. I only wore them for an hour a day, to walk to the subway and back, going to work. So the tread is still good and they were really not worn very much. However, on the first snow storm of this year, 12 months later from the purchase date, they have both leaked. So these boots are only good for one mild season and the warranty only covers one year. They are therefore not worth it for the price, which is too bad as they are very comfortable but waterproof they are not.

I've been meaning to write this review for a while now. I received these boots for Christmas and let me tell you, I was on cloud nine with these things. They were SO warm and relatively comfortable/flexible as far as snow boots go. I was totally loving these boots... And then my feet got wet. Really wet. COLD and WET. And just like that, The Honeymoon phase was over. Only took about 3 months for them to lose their waterproof quality. Totally upset and really disappointed.

I ordered a pair of these boots for short periods of time outside in Central Alaska. While we have had no subzero temperatures as of yet here, these boots do not stand up to our mild weather. They are also not waterproof. After 30 minutes outside I come back into the office with wet boots, socks, and frozen toes. Even after walking outside to get in my pre-warmed vehicle my feet remain cold until I am back indoors and have removed the boots. To top it off the soles have no actual support and have begun to cause ankle, foot, and knee pain. I have only been wearing these for 4-5 months mind you. I would not recommend this item to anyone living in colder climates.

I normally wear 10.5 so I purchased these boots in size 11 and they were way too small. I returned then and got size 12. However, when I tried them on the soles of both boots were extremely uneven. These boots feel and look like they were completely worn out by someone with severe over-pronation. I would expect better quality from columbia. I'm returning them.
