Customer Reviews Columbia Ice Maiden™ II

Fit: Flawless I wear 41 Birkenstock or Chaco Zx2 ladies' 10W sandals and the Columbia Ice Maiden IIs in 10.5 were perfect. Easy to wear with thin socks or thick socks with plenty of room for my toes to spread out. Comfort: Major! I work outside standing on concrete in a windy ventilated glass studio in North Carolina and need more warmth for my feet. I also have plantars fasciitis, bad ankles, and questionable knees; these are the most comfortable, supportive shoes I've had many years (including all my sneakers). Flexible yet substantial support in ankle area makes them my most comfortable pair of shoes for driving. Style: VERY CUTE They pair beautifully with all my casual winter wardrobe & have a surprisingly slimming effect on my huge feet! I love the understated interesting texture of the boots which they created by juxtaposing sections of velvety suede, quilting, dappled contrast leather, & faux fur. Smartly designed to facilitate ease of getting them on/off; I'm never annoyed by the laces like I have been with other laced boots I wore in the past.

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.

I have the world's worst feet and normally I buy a wide shoe but I happened to try this one and it is incredibly comfortable and does not feel tight at all. I have neuropathy so my feet always feel cold, sort of a burning cold and the boots make them feel better because they truly do keep them warm. I live in Southern California, for me they are perfect for our chilly winters. I liked them so much I bought them in black and in gray as well.

These are so cute!!! I ordered a half size larger than I would normally wear and they are perfect to put heavier socks in. Wide enough for my bunion. Not much arch but comfy. Can’t speak to warmth or wear yet but exactly what I expected. They look tiny and on sale you can’t go wrong! Buy them! I have a pair of Sorel Joan of Arctic and these are more comfortable for a lot less $

Perfect boots for the Northeast.

The boots are very comfortable and keep my feet dry. I love the soft inside.

I wear a 7, ordered a 7 and they fit with normal winter socks (Smart Wool, nothing extra thick). I live in the PNW and we don't get ALOT of snow so I am wearing these when walking into town in the rain. My feet stay warm and dry and heck, they look cool too.

Well made, Comfortable, warm and provides excellent traction on snow and ice. These will be my go to winter boots for years to come!

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!!

I ordered 1/2 size up because I wanted to put thick socks in them. I have a medium width foot, but it is wider in the ball of the foot. I find the shoe a TINY bit snug in the ball of the foot, but it will stretch I'm sure; and if it doesn't I'll still be fine. They work great with thick hiking socks. The footbed seems very hard, but I have to use an arch insert for my very high arch, so it works out fine. (I'm not certain a whole-foot insert would work well for me in the toe, but the insert that works in this shoe does not go to the ball of my foot.) The style is adorable, and with my insert and thick socks, I am going to be a very happy camper. I downgraded one point on overall because of the incredibly hard footbed that has no arch.

I thought these looked nice, had mostly good reviews and should fit the requirements of being warm and waterproof. I read the reviews and went up 1/2 size bigger than anything I have and my toes were still almost at the end. With heavy socks on they were too small. I could feel a slight arch support with my hand but when I put them on they felt flat. I do have high arches but these didn't come close. They are also very hard inside. If they were bigger I could have added some inserts for comfort. I also wore them in the house for a bit and my feet didn't heat up so I'm not sure they'd live up to their claim for cold temps. I ended up returning them.

Great fit! Love these! Highly recommend :)

I wear an 8.5-9 and ordered a 9 to accommodate thick socks and the boots fit well. Nice to walk in. At 20 degrees my feet were getting cold but not painfully so. I doubt my feet would stay warm at the temperature advertised. The water proofness of the materials has not been tested.

The boots fit great after I went up to size 9 from my usual 8.5. They look great and with my arch supports felt great. I ended up with a different boot that felt warmer for my always cold feet.

These are a super comfortable pair of boots! They are true to size, but I went up 1/2 a size to allow for thick socks and toe room. Fit more like a regular sneaker versus a stiff pair of boots. Pleasantly surprised!

The boots are really cuter than pictured! Wish I could keep them, but...I have a very wide foot. I went up 1/2 size to adjust for that and the boots cut right across my toes. Ouch. Why don't snow boots come in wide sizes?

I ordered a half size higher than my usual shoe size. Worked out great!!
