Customer Reviews Columbia Ice Maiden™ II

These boots are amazing. The fit and support are excellent. They are very stylish and war..

Comfy, dry, and warm. I bought them for going on winter walks, and they are just OK as walking boots—wouldn’t be able to go too far in them and they did cause a blister on my left toe.

Awesome boot. Super comfortable out of the box.

I was hesitant about these boots at first because they aren't super cute and I wasn't sure that I would like the lace up/tie feature. However, they had really great reviews and I felt like they were affordable so I took a shot. I am really glad I did. They are easy to slip on and I have come to really like the tie feather as it makes me more comfortable and secure. They are warm and very comfortable. I walked 2 miles in them right out of the box without any problems at all. Time will tell how they wear but I feel that the tread and materials are good quality and the Columbia brand is one that I have come to trust. If they last a couple harsh MN winters - I'll be happy!

This is my first time trying a product by Columbia and I am very satisfied. These boots are well made, fit well, and very attractive. And they feel like they will keep my feet very warm this winter. I ordered the Cordovan/Siberia color and if you do, too, and are expecting the Burgandy color of cordovan-well, these are a very attractive shade of dark chocolate!

I usually take a 9.5 in Munro or Sesto Meucci because I have narrow feet. When I ordered the Columbia boots I went up a half size since I usually do for athletic shoes as well. My toe was still too close to the top of the shoe so I ordered the 10.5 and they fit fine. Thank goodness for Zappos who got the larger size to me quickly and issued my refund quickly too.

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.

They fit well and keep my feet nice and warm. Glad I bought them

I originally got half size up by reading reviews but it was way too big even with thick socks on. I got my right size and it fits perfectly. I can wear my thick socks without my feet feeling too tight. The soles are great for snow too. I wore it yesterday in snow and didn’t slip at all. Love the look and very comfortable to wear. I highly recommend them.

I had to go up a half size because you were out of stock in my size and I was glad I did. The boots are warm and well insulated except for the bottoms and the extra room allows for a second pair of socks. I have cold feet so this worked out well. I placed my order mid afternoon and had them by 10am the NEXT DAY! Thanks for your timely shipping.

Cute but extremely functional. Waterproof and durable. Love them!

I waited until I wore these in the snow a few times to give a complete review. I can wear them with wool socks just fine and they keep my feet warm and dry. I actually didn't need wool socks because I was perfectly warm walking in about 5 inches of snow in 20 degree weather for an hour or so both today and yesterday. The rubber soles are pretty good for ice but not fantastic. I personally don't like the look of the fur and quilted material but I bought them for the other benefits and I'm really glad I did. The arch support is also noticeable. They feel like wearing sneakers.

These boots were just what I was looking for! Style and size are great.

Great-looking boots. I especially liked that they could be worn with Jeans or more dressed up. But I ended up not purchasing because I could not lace the boots up so they were snug around the back of my leg. The boot is a bit lower in back than in front, and I worried about snow getting in the gap.

I love these boots, but they are too substantial for me. I really wanted a light weight water boot, because I live in Vegas and we rarely have snow, except when we go skiing. Also, VERY sadly my size 11 boots are too short and I don't want to go up a size. The boots are big and a bigger size would make it a HUGE boot. So sadly they are going back and I will continue looking for the right boot for me. Also, they are very stiff.

They are listed as "wide" but seem quite narrow, especially for boots where you might want to wear heavy socks. No real arch support. The sole of the boot is very stiff, but this might change with time. They do look cute and seem warm. I haven't had an opportunity to test them in the wet or snow.

I bought these boots hoping 3 things— they would arrive on time before my trip, they would be comfortable/ fit well and, they would be lightweight. Tall order! I am so very happy I purchased these boots!! I have be walking 10000 steps a day in the snow in these boots and my feet are dry, warm, and my feet don’t hurt. They fit perfectly!!!!! I shopped for literally hours online trying to find a pair of boots my size and that’s literally are perfect!!!!!

Okay. So I am a warm weather, beach kind of person. But, my family likes the snow. So, each year...off we go..to that cold slushy slippery stuff. Been doing it for decades. Last year I decided 'enough'. Enough of boots that don't fit, boots that hurt, boots that don't keep my feet warm. I just spent 10 days in these puppies. Warm feet, comfortable feet, no falling in the snow. I did add some custom orthotics for arch support - which is just what my grumpy aging feet demand. Plenty of room for the orthotics, I'd even wear these in the more humane climate of central coast CA. In short - these are great. I run between an 8.5-9. Went with the 9 which worked well. Even with orthotics I can wear thicker socks. The fact that they lace all the way up makes for great fit. As I see it, I'm set for that stupid white, wet, slippery stuff for the next decade

I ordered a 9W, though I usually wear an 8 or 8 1/2. Fit great! Very adjustable. Warm. Good traction. Great in snow and on ice.

Stylish for sure. The heel and sole however are too stiff for a normal walking pattern for me. Will return and keep searching.

wonderful

I am usually 8.5 or 9, but other boots I had tried ran small, so I ordered a 9. It was a little big and wide and also felt hard on the insole. I didn't love the look or the comfort, so I didn't bother to try an 8.5. I would say to get your usual size OR add some kind of insole for arch support and more padding.

Great, comfortable, warm winter boots and best of all waterproof.

I bought these boots for my daughter in law for Christmas. She absolutely loves them and has been wearing them everyday since she received them!

Contrary to other reviewers, the foot bed is not removable. It would be almost impossible to insert your own orthotic in this boot. The boot is stylish and weather proof but there is no arch and little foot support. This boot would be so much better if it had a better foot or bed and if it was possible to use your own orthotics.
