I bought these to wear during big snow storms. They are stylish, comfortable and keep your feet dry and warm.

I went 1/2 size up from my refular shoe size. The best part is they are so light .

Love these boots ! Very cute and comfortable. I haven't worn them in inclement weather yet, but love the fact that they are waterproof . I normally wear a 7.5 size, and these 7.5 boots fit me perfectly.

Love these boots! After reading tons of reviews & trying on 3 other pairs of highly rated Columbia boots, these are my IT boots. Just wore them for the first time in 6 inches of snow at 27 degrees. After this half-hour walk, I'm thrilled. Comfy, toasty warm! And really cute, even on my size 10 feet. I have narrow, bony, flat feet. My orthotics and thick wool socks fit easily, with room for toe wiggling. By way of comparison, although the other Columbia boots (Heavenly Omni-Heat size 10 & 10.5) I tried all felt 1/2 to 1 size small, the Ice Maiden boots are true to size for me.

I never write reviews of shoes. But these boots are AMAZING. I bought them for a trip to Iceland. They are sturdy, warm, and super comfortable. I put my whole foot in water several times and they were completely water resistant. They definitely ran at least a half size too big, but this was OK because I wore two pairs of socks under them which I had intended anyway, to ensure staying warm. I am really picky about shoes and these totally got the job done. You can wear them for hiking, touring around, or just regular every day stuff and they look smart doing all those things, which is a bonus. Highly recommend.

I have wide calves and narrow feet, so finding boots that fit well is a challenge. I also live in snowy Western New York and I walk a lot. Basically, I am pretty hard to please where boots are concerned! Overall, I am very happy with these. They fit me very well. They're super warm and definitely waterproof. Not the cutest boots I've ever owned, but not the ugliest either. My only complaint is the lack of arch support. They feel comfy when I first put them on, but the lack of support leaves my feet achy in a short time. If you plan on walking a lot in these boots, I recommend inserting some sort of arch support for a cheap fix. Other than that, these are perfect!

I recently wore this boot on my Iceland hiking trip through REI. We hiked through lava caves, through fields, along the coast, up mountains and glaciers, snowshoed, all through snow and sustained winds and not once were my feet cold or wet. I wasn't sure I would be hiking again after I came back from vacation so I wanted a stylish boot that I was sure to wear again. These boots not only held up to hours of hiking, but they exceeded my expectations. So happy with them, especially for the price.

I purchased these boots for a trip to Colorado in February and they were wonderful! They were super comfortable right out of the box and didn’t need breaking in. I ordered my normal size and they are great both with thin and thick socks. I was concerned about how warm they would be as I have circulation problems, but I never had an issue with cold feet! I wore them with thick wool socks and my feet stayed nice and warm even chasing my 3 and 6 year olds through super deep snow. I have thin legs and was also concerned with being able to get a snug fit. Due to the laces I was able to tie them tight enough to go through snow up to my thighs with no leaks. Feet stayed warm and dry no matter what I did! Now we are back home in Texas and they are great with thinner socks on rainy cold days. Would highly recommend!

I bought these boots at the last minute because there was snow at our destination. I normally have a lot of difficulty breaking in new shoes, especially boots. However, these boots were comfortable right away. They were also warm in the 10 degree weather. I had to go a half size up because I usually wear wide and I have orthotics. Because of that, I ordered size 8 although my foot measures 6 1/2 and I normally wear 7 or 7 1/2. Thanks, Zappo’s for prompt delivery and free returns!

I really like these boots. I have a Morton’s neuroma and they do not cause pain in that area! I wore them around the house for a few hours to be sure they would work. I usually get a wide shoe but these were plenty wide! Very nice!

These shoes are comfortable, affordable and a great investment for the winter months. The fit of the shoe is snug but still quite comfortable and they are both waterproof and sturdy.

Hands down: best winter boots! They’re light and keep my toes warm. They look nice and are easy to out on and off. I don’t think they’re completely waterproof, but don’t go puddle jumping all that often anymore so that’s fine for me. I’d definitely recommend, especially since they’re not too expensive!!

This boot is just what I wanted. I ordered a size 7, which is what I normally wear and there's room for thicker socks if I desire. The boots are not bulky or stiff; very lightweight and comfy.

What I love about the boots: I can wiggle my toes True to size Comfortable Not snug/tight Warm I am very picky on what I can wear. Ice Maiden boots will be my boots of choice. I use them for work, but will get a pair for weekends, separately. Well worth the money. Very happy with my purchase.

I live in the Great Lakes area where there is plenty of snow and cold weather. I am so pleased with these boots! They have exceeded my expectations. They are not only warm they are light and easy to walk in as well as to put on. Not cumbersome ! I normally wear a size 9 and I went a half size up 9 1/2. Perfect!

After a long and serious search for good boots for a snow trip, I was impressed by the number (literally thousands) and high rating of reviews the Ice Maiden II have, even over more expensive and renown brands! I wasnt so sure about the design, as I would have liked a pair a bit taller and more sporty, more like the Meadowsstyle. I was also a bit concerned about the fitting, since I have thin legs and the upper side of the boots seemed kind of wide. Nonetheless, they fit great and do an excellent job in keeping my foot dry, toasty, comfortable and stylish. I am a firm size 8 and bought a half size up for thick socks, but in general they fit true to size. If you intend to wear only a pair of wool socks, you might as well rather buy your regular size (no need to wear 2). I tried both the Ice Maiden and the Meadows, and found both true to size and equally warm, despite the first oneslack of omni-heat technology. Eventhough I like the Meadows style better, I had to return those because I ordered a full size up due to reviews, and they were very big indeed. Dont hesitate; you will soon be one of the thousands satisfied reviewers!

I have trouble retaining heat and normally in sub-zero temperatures my feet sting. Although these are rated to mid 20s, they kept my feet warm in -2. Brrrrr Highly recommend!!!

I ordered a half size up and these fit well. There is plenty of room in the toe box, too. My foot is wider at the front than back, and these work well for me. The heel doesn't slip, but they don't pinch my toes, either. I was concerned about waterproofing, but these have held up well so far the first few times I've worn them. The sole has enough flexibility to make them easy to walk in without a long break-in period. The traction worked for me on ice and show. They aren't as nice looking as some other options, but they are comfy, warm and they fit.

A true winter boot that is not heavy or clunky. It is warm, snow and slush proof and feels as comfortable as a sneaker. Very happy I found these- on clearance and in my size! My 16 yo daughter wears them too-on days I don't get to them first and I can't get her to wear a coat (like the majority of teenagers!) - at least I know her feet are warm and dry!!
