Customer Reviews Columbia Ice Maiden™ II

These are super comfortable and fit well. I have D-E width feet and muscular calves (wide, large calves). They walk well, they have great traction and they look cute. They should be rated for 25F NOT -25F. While they have a good amount of lining they are not great for VT winters. I did get them on sale and if your winters don’t get below 20F, these would be perfect. My Vermont winter just hit 5F and these just transmit the cold in. So I recommend but not for deep cold.

I bought these boots to wear in th snow and cold weather. The upper part is well insulated and warm on my legs. However, feels like there is no insulation at all around my feet. My toes were freezing, even with heavy wool socks. Very sadly disappointed.

These boots feel and look very nice but unfortunately are very slick on the ice. First time I wore them I slipped and fell. As a matter of fact, I have worn them 4 times and slipped and fell 3 times on ice, which has never really happened before. My last fall was a rough one, hit my elbow and my head taking out the garbage, very painful for me. The high reviews must be from people who don’t have or haven’t worn these on ice. Unfortunately, I have to give low stars for the poor traction on ice and these boots will go to the back of the closet and I will be searching for a pair that I CAN wear and trust on the ice.

Ordered Wide, as always, and 1/2 size longer hoping to be able wear warm woolly socks. Too narrow, and going up another 1/2 size isn't likely to help. I guess too many people live in places that aren't really cold, or don't really spend much time outdoors because I read too many reviewers that say they strongly dislike socks! If you need wide in regular shoes, don't bother with these.

They are so cute out of the box but they have no arch support and run small. I typically wear a 7, so I sized up to a 7.5 and my toes were hitting the end of the boot. I wanted something stylish to walk the dog in and while these look nice, they won’t be good for walking without inserts. Returning for sure.

I got the wide in a 10.5. The lace attachments over the bunion areas were hard and uncomfortable for me. Even in the thinnest socks, the boots were too narrow in the toes at the bunion area and in the way the toe tapered. The ankles and calves were too wide because I don't need a wide in those parts. The height of the toe box was a little short for winter socks. Otherwise I liked how lightweight they were because I have tendinitis. I was looking for a snow boot that would double as a boot to drive in and take walks in. I would not use these for sports and hiking though, as the suede overlays on quilted fabric might not withstand much wear and tear from snow shoes or puddles. I wish there were lightweight snow boots that fit women with narrow heel and wide toes and had soft areas for our poor bunions.

These boots were a big fail for me as they were not waterproof at all.

THESE ARE NOT WATERPROOF. I'm a dog walker and spend hours on end walking through parks and city streets. I was looking for a boot that could hold up to getting snowy while outdoors then melt while indoors and snowy again etc. all day long. These don't do the job! My feet were wet on my first walk. Granted the snow was slushy but I think a true winter boot should hold up to slush too. Too bad! Sending back.

These were a complete disaster. I ordered a wide after reading the other reviews and couldn't get my foot in them. There is no way this boot is a wide size. They were also shorter than my normal boots. And there is NO arch support. Walking on a brick is more comfortable. By far the worst boots I've tried. Thank goodness for Zappos' excellent return policy because these are going back.

These were a huge disappointment. There is absolutely NO arch support, they actually hurt to walk in. And they were so narrow that I couldn't get my foot into them. I ordered a full size up based on the reviews and they still were far too small. These are going back. Given the deviation in sizes, I would avoid Columbia in the future.

Hurt my ankles as soon as I tried them on. These are impossible to walk in for a few feet to try out - instant rubbing against both side of ankle bones. Too bad as they are super cute. Also no support whatsoever.

I have another pair of these boots that are fantastic, but these were obviously manufactured with different materials. Fabric is stiff, inflexible and even the lacings are way shorter that my other pair in gray. And toe box is marginally more narrow. Returning :(

This is a beautiful boot, but too narrow and too small for me. They didnt' have wide width, which would have helped. Sending back.

If you have a bunion or bunionette, these boots are way too narrow

Got these for my college age daughter. She loves them and still wears them a few years later

I bought these for a two-week trip to the Arctic Circle and Iceland in January. They kept my feet warm, dry, and comfortable through frigid temperatures, deep snow, and icy slush. I even went out one night in the snow without socks and my toes stayed warm, though I wasn't out for long. I generally wear a 7.5 and bought the wide 8 in these, which was the perfect size with thick wool socks. My only issue was that the arch support is pretty nonexistent, so my feet were a bit sore at the end of days where I walked 4-5 miles or more; that said, I think I would probably have room to add in a 3/4 insole for next time I use them for heavy walking. They're super cute and comfortable and a steal for the price.

Comfy and warm!

Feels great and wonderful range of motion through the ankle. Will be great for snowy dog walks this winter.

These boots are so cute and fun to wear! They are very handsome, comfy and cozy. Most definitely would wear all winter long since they dress up your winter clothes! Highly recommended! ;)

Comfortable right out the box

They are really comfortable!

Wow. All I need to say about these is that I love them. Took them to Finland for a month's visit in the winter and wore them many times.
