Customer Reviews Columbia Ice Maiden™ II

I returned these. They were cute for snow boots and had decent reviews. I have high arches. With my hand I could feel a small arch support but it didn't come close to touching the arches in my feet. I read the reviews and ordered a 1/2 size up but would definitely need a full size larger than my normal 8.5 shoe size. There is zero padding on the bottom so they are quite hard and not very comfortable. I also wore them in the house for about 15 minutes to determine if I wanted to exchange for a larger size or return them. My feet didn't even get a little too warm so I'm not sure how they'd possibly keep feet warm in freezing temperatures. I bought Baffin Chloe's instead. They were more expensive but very well worth the money, some arch support, a soft comfortable foot bed and super warm.

These boots look fine but are not as “cold weather worthy” as I thought they would be, nor do they provide an arch support that would make them more comfortable. Adding an orthotic would only make the boot too snug which, as we all know, makes your feet get cold quickly. I used them while shoveling my driveway and my toes got so cold they started to cramp. Outside temperature was 31-34. These are good for running to the store, but for working outside, guess I’ll have to get some warmer boots!

Too much room for my narrow feet. Also a little high on the leg for my liking. Returning and trying the Sorel Out and About boot

These weren’t the shoes I ordered. Instead of the Ice Maiden that laces up, the shoes I received were the slip ins. They were too wide even with thick socks. I called Zappos, & was told the lace up ones were no longer in stock. I’ve been ordering shoes from Zappos for years & have never had this problem before. Since we fly to VT on Monday, there was no time to have other styles shipped. I’ll be keeping the Keen Hoodoo short boots, which was the other pair I ordered. I like the height & furry lining of the Ice Maiden boots, but they slip up & down when I walk, & have NO support for your foot in comparison to the Keens.

These looked really cute on screen, but just looked odd right out of the box because they seemed too short on me even though I'm only 5'4". I still tried them on but decided immediately to return them because I felt unbalanced walking on them. I don't know if the soles are uneven or what, but wearing these boots felt a little like wearing ice skates - like the sides of each soles were shorter than the middle part, so that each foot wobbled from side to side as I walked.

Although I ordered a half size up in this boot, it pressed on the top of my foot and very uncomfortable. Doubtful if another half size up would remedy the way it fits.

Cute but uncomfortable, no support. Sadly will be returning.

I was really disappointed with these. The insoles in these were uncomfortably hard. The toe box was so narrow that it pinched my pinkie toe. I had kept in mind that these run small and I ordered a half size bigger, but I still should not have felt pinching at the sides like that. I was wearing thin socks and don't have wide feet, so there's no reason they should've been pinching on the side. I found the construction of the tongue to be very bulky (the kind of thing that might hurt and cut into your shin if you tied the boot tightly and wore thin socks). These may be good for below zero weather, but they're just too uncomfortable in every way. Not all of the issues would be solved by getting a different size, either, otherwise I would've re-ordered a full size up instead of just a half-size up.

Very stylish, but I bought them as snow boots. They weather was 14 degrees and my feet were freezing. I had very think boot socks and I had to purchase additional pair of socks. It wasn’t snowing it was just cold in New York. Has little or no support but my inserts fit fine. I ordered 1/2 size larger to be able to add inserts and thick socks. Overall they are comfortable but not warm and toasty.

As soon as I put these boots on, I couldn't wait to take them off. They run short and narrow, have absolutely no arch support, and the foot part is stiff. Kudos to Zappos for fast shipping and free, no questions asked returns!

Attractive versatile styled boot, eg: could wear to work. However, too tight across the ball of my foot. There is no arch support and no real padding under the bottom of the foot. It pinches my little toe even without a sock.

Order up a size they do run small !!

Boot ran 1/2 size small...bought 10-1/2 and toes were at end...

This boot would probably be functional, except they are very heavy and clunky, not as flattering and form fitting as I thought they would be. I'm returning it!

Fit was way too small is all…

Ugly boots. Cheap feeling and looking. Columbia has gone downhill.

These are very inexpensive looking snow boots. I guess you get what you pay for. It seems the brand has gone downhill. Black suede looks more green in person.

Though the foot part of this boot is super comfortable, the material on the inside immediately started uncomfortably chafing my ankles. Just walking around inside the house for a few minutes resulted in skin being rubbed off and I was about to bleed.

I am 5”3 115lbs and wear a size 6. I ordered 6.5 regular. They have no give and the toe box is extremely narrow. I wouldn’t even trust exchanging them for a wide. I ordered them checking out with Amazon. You CAN NOT return these at Whole Foods and get an immediate credit. They can only be returned at a USPS store and take 5-10 business days to process. You’ll get the same quality on Amazon with a better return policy. I wouldn’t waste your money on these. Some things you really do need to try on at a store. I have had no luck purchasing winter boots online. The quality of products has really gone down so much.

I returned the boots unworn which were weeks late in arriving, so no other comments

Love the style & color. Recently moved from AZ to NY, so these boots will get plenty of wear through the coming season.
