Customer Reviews Columbia Ice Maiden™ II

I almost kept this boot - but decided to keep the Propet Peri boot instead. This boot was really comfortable - maybe not quite as wide as the Propet. For the price, though, I may buy this boot again someday...

These boots are true to size for me and fit very comfortably. Laces cinch easily. They keep my feet just warm enough, so my feet don't get cold or become overheated when I work up a fast paced walk or when I wear them all day. The sole is a good thickness, allowing some flex, not at all clunky or cumbersome. They are fairly light, waterproof, leather in all the right places, and I love how they look. I expect them to be my constant companions for the next few months and I'm thrilled with the arrangement.

This is my 3rd pair of Ice Maiden in a different color. Fits like a dream and very comfortable .Also keeps my feet warm on cold days. My all time favorite boots to for cold weather! Thank you Zappos for shipping it early.

It was between these and the Columbia Shorty. Due to narrow feet, I preferred that I could tighten up the laces better then the shorty style, which gives it more of a snug fit, and not shlepping around in a winter boot. I'm an 8/8.5 in shoes, and the 8.5 fit just right for winter socks.

Comfortable, affordable, quality snow boots. Plus they’re kind of cute! What more could you want? I needed a pair of snow boots for a ski trip. I’ll only wear these on occasion, so I didn’t want to spend a fortune, but it’s important that snow boots keep your feet warm and dry. I’m happy I found this reasonably priced pair from a reliable brand like Columbia. These feel right-sized to me and will accommodate slightly thick winter socks.

I love these.. at first i was a bit worried because i hate heavy, bulky snow boots but these are lightweight and so comfortable. I didn’t want to take them off. And what i love most about these is that they were affordable. Most snow boots are so expensive. Great buy!!

Normally wear a size 8 1/2, ordered 9 in these and they fit well since I will be wearing wool socks with them. Bought these to wear on a trip to Copenhagen Denmark, so I hope that they work well. Tested them out today, and they feel comfortable. They felt a little narrow in the top of my foot to begin with, but that was solved by loosening the laces. I have a feeling I will have these for years to come.

Great style, perfect fit, good traction. These kept me warm on an Alaskan glacier. Highly recommend.

I bought these boots for a wintertime trip to Canada and haven't regretted it. They are very light considering how durable they are, and I didn't have to break them in....which is always nice when you're buying shoes for a trip. The first time I put them on, I wore them for 8 hours walking around Whistler. They held up great to snow, ice, and the salt/slush mixture without staining the material.

Was looking for something for snow and cold and have worn them in both conditions now and here is my take. They are good at keeping out water and snow. As for warmth, they work well down to about 0-10 above. Once it gets colder than that, I can still wear them, my feet just don't stay warm for more than about 1/2 an hour. Not a huge issue though. The only thing I would change is a more comfortable footbed as I do need a little more cushioning and support. Overall, I would definitely order them again.

The warmest snow boots I've ever worn. Easy to get on and off, very supportive, the first time I ever wore them was for an entire day and there were no issues with them hurting my feet/no need to break them in.

I bought these on recommendation from my daughter, who had already been through the process of trying on many different pairs of boots. I wear 8.5 in a dress shoe and 9 in a walking/gym shoe. I got the black pair in size 9 so I could wear a thicker winter sock. The major selling point for me is the removable insole, so I can replace it with my custom orthotics. They are the most comfortable insulated & waterproof boots I’ve ever worn. I walked our dog in 25 degrees weather and my feet were so comfortable and warm, I didn’t want to take them off. I highly recommend!

Love them. But I wear 8.5 and ordered a 9 they are to big. So I suggest order the normal size you normally wear. I have high arches and the support would be great if they weren’t flopping on my feet.

These boots are lovely. So comfortable and warm. It's like I could tromp over Alaska in these.

This boots are one the most comfortable boots I've ever had. They are great for walking on snow and rocky terrain. They kept my feet warm and comfy. I definitely recommend this boots!

I liked the materials and they are incredibly light weight. However, the toe box on the size wide was too narrow, narrower than most regular size 8.

I ordered these after reading all the stellar reviews. I'm a bit disappointed in that, when I placed a size 10 in my cart, a pop-up suggested a size 9.5. Thinking pop-ups know more than I, I caved and ordered the 9.5. Of course it was too small; I should have stuck with my original idea. As usual Zappos Chat / Live Help was great, and an even exchange was made. When my boots arrived, I was disappointed in that there seems to be little to NO arch support, despite what many reviews say. I'll need to purchase a drug-store support and hope there's enough room to accommodate it. The boots seem warm enough and quite stylish. I'm hoping the arch support will remedy the fact that my feet seem to be floating around in space inside the boots.

I ordered a size 8 1/2 (my normal size) and a size 9 to see which pair felt better with thick socks. They both were exactly the same size. I measured with a tape measure! So I sent the size 9 back and kept the 8 1/2. I think they were sized wrong, but the tag on the inside said 8 1/2. ?????

I have wide feet and a bunion on one foot, these shoes were still too narrow. They were also not has supportive as I would have hoped they would be. Quality looks great and they felt warm, just not right for my feet.

Great boots. I live in the very cold north and wore these almost every day for about 4 months, after my other boots broke down. They are very warm; however I had to replace the laces 3 times. I did have to put my orthopedic supports under the removable foot bed, and that made them so I could walk around town in them all day. I typically walk 1 hour to work and remained warm and snug on my walk.

I am a 5.5 and the shoes fit me well. It's cute and perfect for winters. However, can't wear it with thick woollen socks when it snows. In that case a half size large would have served the purpose.

These boots are so cute, but there is something in the boot that digs into the (outside) side of my ankle and it's very painful.

I wanted to like these but right off the bat, I realized that there's no continuous gusset under the laces to keep snow and ice out. My right foot has a slight bunion and the boot is definitely too narrow for me even though it's supposed to be a wide boot. Didn't even bother with the left foot. Oh well, back they go!

Very comfy shoes but I am returning because the inside flap irritates my leg (which is bigger than the average person)

The material felt like cardboard inside, just not comfortable enough for me.
