Customer Reviews Columbia Ice Maiden™ II

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.

Does not look like the picture at all. I was excited to get something a little different than brown on brown. Might return.

These boots were definitely not wide but I probably could have tolerated them with thin socks. The problem is that there is a rigid plastic piece in the back of the boot that dug into my heel and hurt after walking around in them for too long. I just tested them around the house so I'm sure it would have been unbearable after a whole day out and about. I tried exchanging them but had the same problem. They're very cute so I'm sad to have to send them back.

The boots are not totally waterproof; foot of boot permitted moisture to my socks. The "insulation" is extremely bad; wore boots in 30 degrees C and toes very cold.
