Customer Reviews Columbia Ice Maiden™ II

These are boots are a very cute style. They are light & feel a bit on the side of not being made as well as other Columbia products. They are roomy- I went .5 size up for warm socks & was swimming in them. The material is stiff, not leather, so betting these don't keep looking as cute with wear.

Normally, I wear an 8-8 1/2. I had to order a half size up and a wide width. I also bought arch support inserts as I have high arches and it helped to make the boot fit better. The 9 medium were too narrow. These boots are great for lots of snow. They are a bit heavy, but are comfortable. The tread is decent, but still be careful on ice.

The soles are very stiff and the inside surface is very very firm. I'm going to get some fuzzy insoles. Overall the boot is nice, but the comfort level is not what I was hoping for.

These boots are super comfortable, true to size and very stylish. They are perfect for a daily wear in a cold city climate. I gave them 5 stars for comfort and style, but 4 for overall. These are not boots you want to wear to the mountain in the subzero temps or out in the rain. Even though they are advertised as waterproof, they are not going to be as durable as a North Face Shellista, Helly Hanson's Varanger or Sorell Snow Angel (very cute and durable). Still these are super cute and comfy!

Size and fit were great, except that I have a bunion that works in some shoes and simply did not in these. I was pretty disappointed since they were very cute and the price was decent.

I wanted to try the medium width as the wide width was not available. The medium width is too narrow if you have wide feet. Otherwise, the boot seem fine. Seems well constructed. Fairly light. Has good tread. A bit stiff would be my main criticism. Hope this helps.

I hate buying and breaking in boots. Last year I did real damage to my foot from wearing the wrong boots to walk my dog during winter weather. I gave up comfort for traction. I am hoping these boots allow for more comfort, warmth, and good traction. I have only worn them for about 15 minutes the other day before it snowed and we had freezing rain here in NH, so it is too early to tell if they will fit the bill. I love the look though!

I did receive the boots I tried them on and I like the fit and the look of them. The black boots look nice but they were heavy I returned them because of the weight of the boot.

The boots are super cute, but the seam goes right across the bunion spot of my foot and pinches it. If it weren't for that I would keep the boots.

I love my Columbia Shorty Omni heat boots because they fit so well. I wear an 8.5 N normally and the Shorty fits me perfectly. But even wearing winter socks this Ice Maiden II felt much bigger all around more like a 9 or 9.5. But I do have narrow feet as I said. But it is made very well. Its big. It does have a chemical smell which I did not like either.

Love these boots. I bought one size bigger so I can ware my thick socks underneath. They feel great, look great and the price was right.

Very comfortable and warm! These boots run narrow so those who sometimes need a wide shoe should get a wide size.

On Day 1 with these boots, I love them. The fit is perfect (8 wide for me), which leaves a bit of space for warmer socks without being tight. Lately, I have been having trouble with zip-up boots fitting comfortably, so I love the laces in these boots. I also like that the insole is removable, as I added my own insole with arch support. I wore these running errands for a few hours and they are extremely comfortable to walk, much like my regular shoes (Merrell, Dansko, Alegria). The sole design is good and I think it will provide a good grip when needed. They felt warm, though I will have to wait for a colder day to really test them. (thus 4 stars). I can't wait to try them in the snow and slush. Best of all, I love the styling!

The boots are very stylish and keep my feet warm and dry. But they came with no arch support. So I got a insole to put in them and now they are one of the best pairs of boots I have ever gotten!

Size 7, a little too large, but I remedied it with arch inserts and heavier socks. I can't say these are my favorite boots, the fabric feels kind of stiff and the boot feels a bit clunky. But I am keeping them, they look nice enough, and I like the higher profile for CO snows. Good tread on the soles for ice.

I bought these because of the high rating by others, but I found these boots to have little to no arch support. They run at least a half size small. However they're warm enough to keep the cold at bay. I need to purchase arch supports to make them comfortable.

Great quality great fit im usually 7 1/2 but i wanted a little more room to fit those thick winter socks havent worn them outside yet

I like these boots overall, I’ll be keeping them. A couple things to consider are... They are rather clunky, the thick rubber soles don’t have any give to them so it feels a bit like walking on platforms. I also read in many of the reviews to go a half size up if you want to wear thick winter socks.. I’m a true 7 and that’s what I ordered, there is plenty of room for thick socks and if anything they are still a little big. If I had gone with a 7 1/2 I would have had to return them. Despite those things they are comfortable enough and I think they will serve the purpose of walking around Germany this winter.

My first time ordering from Zappos and I'm pleased! Nice boots, good looking, just what I need for a Wisconsin winter.

The boots are cute and comfortable and fit as indicated however they are not very warm so add good socks

Love these boots! I would have gotten them in my usual size of 8.5 but they were only available in 9, so they're a little loose. However, when I wear thicker socks, they fit perfectly. I wish they had more arch support but I'll probably buy some insoles to help with that. Overall, love the look and feel! The faux fur lining is incredibly soft.
