Customer Reviews Columbia Ice Maiden™ II

I read all the reviews saying to go up a half size. I wear a 7 and chose 7.5 and I'm glad I did. I put on a pair of my SmartWool snowboard socks and thick wool socks over those. It fit a little bit snug along the toes, but I have wide feet. However, I could still wiggle my toes and didn't experience any numbness. They don't have any arch support, which is ok with someone like me who has flat feet. I like the insulation of the faux fur synthetic lining. These light weight boots are rated -25F/-32C. I hope they do well in Fairbanks, AK.

Bought these for my 12 year old daughter. She really loves how cute and warm they are. She commented that the arch support feels nice! The material looks and feels nice and they are not as bulky as other snow boots. Just as we would suspect from a brand such as Columbia! Warm and Wonderful!

Stylish and comfortable . Runs a little small. Love the elk color

I’ve been wearing them while walking the dog on the icy snow covered roads. No slipping...very warm. I even shopped in them one day. I recommend.

Great boot! I've told about 10 friends about them. In northern Vermont, we liven our boots at this time year. This boots are great 'every day' boots. Warm enough for the occasional walk, sledding, etc., but light weight and streamlined enough for daily wear. I can wear pants over them if I want. Not sweaty. I love them.

The fit was great, they were very comfortable and stylish. I had many compliments about them. I am disabled and recently wore them when I was skiing in Crested Butte, Colorado, I was seated with my legs out in front of me, a staff member was behind and told me which way to turn etc. However, I controlled it with my thighs and arms. Normally, my feet would have been cold but thanks to the boots they were nice and warm.

I ordered these in a 10.5, I wear a 9.5 or 10 depending on the brand and style of the shoe. I was hoping to order them in a 11 but they were out of stock so with Zappos easy return policy I decided to try the 10.5 they fit perfect with thin athletic socks. I then tried them on with thicker socks on top of the thin athletic socks and they were only a little snug. I noticed there was another color for about $20 less in an 11 so I am going to compare the two once the 11's arrive. The boots have a temperature rating of -25F/-32C once I figure out which size is best I'll test out the warmth. So far the boots feel soft, cozy and look great, they come up right below my calf. Looking for boots to wear in Antartica

My feet do not do well in shoes with the front curved up. Not comfortable after a few minutes wear and my toes started to tingle and feel numb. Sadly had to return. Cute boot.

Unbelievable comfort for a snow boot. I bought these to replace my old Sorels, which were so uncomfortable for snowshoeing (or just walking/hiking) that I rarely wore them and instead wore my lower profile boots (and ended up with a boot full of snow). These are just like wearing a pair of slippers! I did take out the insoles and add my usual inserts because I needed the additional arch and metatarsal support, but there is still plenty of room for thick socks if I need them... I doubt that I will though, as my feet were toasty warm just wearing thin socks (and my feet are always cold!). We have had unusually warm weather, but I can't wait to try them out during the week or so of subzero weather that we generally get in January or February. I would buy these again before I would buy another pair of pricey Sorels that I will never wear. Oh, and did I mention that they are cute too? I would wear these with a dress to church!

Boot fit well in the length, but was a bit narrow. Felt after some time in cold weather my feet would get cold. Very lightweight, like a hiking shoe rather than a boot. Fabric upper seemed it would not hold up well in snow. As I needed something for colder weather and deeper snow I decided to return it. They are quite comfortable though! Would be good for walking around in a city or for work.

These boots were too narrow in the forefoot for me. Otherwise it seems like a pretty nice, lightweight boot, though without much padding underfoot. Note that the brown is darker than it appears on the website.

I like these boots and think they're cute. I put them on and they were immediately comfortable, but I was still able to put in my orthotics. I sprayed them twice to make them waterproof. Haven't worn them yet in the rain or snow so I don't know if that effort worked. They are warm and I can walk a great deal without any problem.

These boots worked out perfectly. Very comfortable and sturdy right out of the box. It is definitely waterproof! I wore the boots in 5-7" of snow and my feet were dry the entire time. With temperatures ranging from 20s-30s, my feet stayed comfortable and warm (I did wear some cold weather socks). The bottom sole has decent treads, but I did slip a little here and there when there were patches of ice. So, be careful for that! As for sizing, I normally wear 6 in sneakers and 5.5 in heels. I purchased size 6 in these boots and they fit perfectly. I removed the inside footbed and inserted my custom insole with no problem too. Overall, a great purchase at a reasonable price! Highly recommend!

I love these boots! The fit is wonderful for me, great sturdy support and tread make my icy walks more comfortable. They are also very warm. I think the style is cute as well, looks good with leggings and jeans. They are a stylish winter boot that can be worn as part of an outfit.

I like these boots a lot. It was hard for me to find a pair of winter boots that could handle New York weather but these have done well so far. My feet are medium width but long and flat so I’m always challenged in finding a shoes that are comfortable, stylish and can handle harsh winters. They are well made too. Hopefully they will last a couple of seasons with proper care.
