Customer Reviews Columbia Ice Maiden™ II

I usually get a 9.5 or 10 narrow and got these in a 10 so an insole could be added if necessary. I did find them very roomy without the insole but after the insole was added they fit perfect. I love the style and would recommend them.

I sized up half a size based on other reviews, but I kind of wish I hadn't. They are a little big, but not so much that they aren't comfortable. They are very warm.

I love these boots. So many winter boots I have purchased in the past leave my toes feeling cold - not these boots! Not only are my toes toasty warm, but it offers great ankle support - great when you nearly slide down the entire driveway because it is coated in ice. The best part is that they are SO CUTE.

I read a lot of reviews on these boots. Most said they were true to size but I I normally wear an 8-8.5 and I ordered a 9. I'm glad I did. They fit just right with a normal sock. I might be able to wear a thicker sock for more warmth but I haven't tried that yet. They are comfortable and I have been testing them out by wearing them on polished concrete floors at my office. I'm not on my feet all day but do normal walking to and from my office all day long. I have RA and my feet hurt all day long and I have to say that when I wear these boots my feet don't hurt as much as when I wear my expensive Abeo's(orthotic shoes). That being said, the right boot is doing this weird thing where it creases right above my big toe and so there is some rubbing. This doesn't happen on my left foot and I don't have any bunions or hammer toe so I'm not sure what is happening. I'm hoping this won't affect my being able to wear the shoes. I plan to wear them in some wet snowy conditions and I do hope the waterproof part holds up as advertised.

Love these boots, but you definitely need to size up, for length and width.

These boots have been my favorite boots of all time until now. I bought a pair of these two years ago (size 8, normally 8.5 in sneakers) and they were warm and waterproof and stylish as well. The toe box was roomy, bordering on wide, and suuuper comfy for walking and snow playing all day. I got another pair this year (size 9) and they are super fluffy and tight inside. Lots of people have complained about them being too wide, so I guess they made changes. The main reason I need to replace the Columbias after only 2 winters is that the treads wear unevenly and one of them has revealed a hole on the bottom of the heel (probably there on purpose to keep the boot lightweight, I'm guessing? Or maybe just a defect, the hole itself was definitely not made from wearing them) that siphons water right up into the footbed so I have a soggy foot when there's any water on the ground. It's a real shame. If you want really fluffy and snug-all-over kind of boots they will probably work for you, and I'd recommend getting a size up if you wear thick socks. The Kamik Icelyn L looks similar and fits much more like the old style so I'll be switching to those this time.

I usually take and 8.5 w width I ordered a 9.5m width as they don’t sell wide width I love these boots do much I bought the grey ones too! I’m now winter ready!

I ordered a half size larger as all the reviews said they did. Arch seemed like there was no support and was like walking on a board! I’m use to Vionics and other well made shoes with good arch support. I’m still trying to like these! Cute style!

Great boots. Very easy to put on. Warm. Solid construction. They have a high toe box so they will fit with thicker socks as well. The inner sole is removable for inserts. The shaft has a nice height and is roomy enough. While not super lightweight, they are not heavy. I have not tested yet if they are waterproof as claimed.

Fit is true to size. I did not size up for winter socks because I was looking for something I could walk a while in. This is it. I can now walk the dog all winter in a boot that does not slip around on my foot. Warm enough to just wear a standard sock since I am moving. This would not be my first choice for standing or sitting for long periods in the cold, but is perfect for walking. No one clears their sidewalks anymore, so I have trouble going out with the dog...and he loves his walks! This boot has so far kept me upright in freezing rain and slush as well as that packed down snow that you get on sidewalks when they are not cleared. very good traction for winter.
