Customer Reviews Columbia Ice Maiden™ II

I wanted a boot that was waterproof, warm, comfortable, had some style to it, and that fit my budget. These fit all the criteria!!! I bought these boots in a size 7, which I usually wear, and also a 7-1/2 for comparison. I'm glad I bought the size 7-1/2 because it was perfect for use with heavier socks and if I added orthotics! The size 7 was okay but I could not have worn heavier socks or used orthotics with that size. I highly recommend these boots!

I love these boots! Wore them the first time for a mostly outside event where I was on my feet/walking for 5 hours and it was cold. They were very comfortable and warm with wool socks. I normally wear a 7 to 7.5 in regular shoes but went with an 8 for these based on the reviews. They fit perfectly.

Reading previous reviews helped. I wear a 6.5 or 7. I went with the 7. I do wear arch supports in all my shoes, plenty of room for them. I tried them on with regular socks they fit good, but if I wanted to wear a thicker sock they would be fine. My first choice was the grey color, but unfortunately I didn’t receive them. I was able to get a new pair delivered right away, but the grey was our of stock. Got the black.

I have terrible foot pain and require orthotics to wear almost any shoes. Happily these boots were just the right size, the footbed comes out to accommodate the orthotics and then goes back on top to add cushioning. I was desperate for boots to wear in a snow/ice storm due to hit tonight, and once again Zappos came through for me! They arrived yesterday and I couldn’t be more pleased.

these are great. Very comfortable and quite easy to walk in, right out of the box. Cute, too. I'd recommend these to most anyone. My one concern is that they are probably too lightweight to deserve a -25 degree label. I've not had the chance to test it out, but they feel far too light for that. In any case there is still plenty of room to add socks, at least for me, if that becomes an issue.

The fit is great! It hasn't snowed yet so I can't review if they're going to be awesome for taking the kids sledding but I think they will be.

Lightweight, waterproof, and kept my feet warm while shoveling snow for over an hour!

These are great boots! First, they are so light. Not at all bulky. I bought them one half size bigger to accommodate the very thick socks I wear. Perfect fit. The insoles are removable. I might put in an insole with more arch support, but they’re already really comfortable, especially with the socks. Very cute with leggings or jeans tucked in. Good buy! Zappos was great as usual. I had the boots in less than 24 hours from order.

Just awesome boots! I'd bought it before my travel to Siberia, and I wasn't disappointed. They are waterproof and so warm. Also they are half size larger, I could wear a thick socks.

I ordered these boots in my normal size, but unless I was wearing thin socks, they were too short. I ordered half a size larger and these are perfect. Like another reviewer, I'd consider ordering half a size larger than normal in order to accommodate winter socks.

I bought these for an upcoming trip to Walt Disney World to wear on a rainy, chilly days. One reviewer said that she walked 15 hours daily in her Columbias on a winter European vacation - so I figured they would probably work for me. I knew that my Uggs would not have enough support to wander all day around the Magic Kingdom, but these boots have more support and should be fine! Out of the box, they felt good on my picky 70-year-old feet.... I was concerned about the width, because I prefer a wide in most shoes if available, but these boots are roomy enough, even with socks. They are really cute and I will enjoy wearing them for a long time!

Ordered 1/2 size up and it was perfect. I’m a solid size 8 foot, and the extra half size gave me just a tiny amount of extra toe space without causing the heel to slip. Definitely recommend going up a half size. Pros: the boots are very comfortable! I have somewhat narrow feet and these were just right. Comparing them to other boots, if you have even slightly wide feet, you might want to buy them in wide, because the medium width is fairly narrow. Cons: there aren’t any. I just happened to like another pair more. These are super comfy, stylish snow boots.

These boots are a real winner. We live in Arizona and I needed a good pair of boots for a trip to Chicago where there was LOTS of snow and ice and it was very cold. Absolutely perfect in every sense. I wore them on the plane and only took them off to sleep the entire trip. They are cute and stylish enough to wear anywhere. They were immediately comfortable - no "breaking in". I will take them on a ski trip and I know I'll get compliments and "where did you get those" comments. Buy them - You'll be very glad you did

I love these boots. I got these and a pair of Sorels. The Sorels were so uncomfortable. These were so comfortable from the very beginning. The fit true to size with room for socks but not too big if i wear running socks. If I'm out on the ice/snow for 20 minutes, my feet do start to get cold. I'm not sure if other boots would insulate from that - my feet get cold like the do in a ski boot aka because it's cold outside. I am sooo happy with this purchase.

These are very warm, good quality boots. I would like a bit more arch support, but they are comfortable otherwise, and they look nice for snow boots. They are not for a very wide foot, but for my somewhat narrow foot, my normal athletic shoe size fits perfectly.

Bought these for my teenager. I have mixed feelings. On one hand, I want them to last her for a long time. She really likes them! On the other hand, I want her to outgrow them so I can have them for myself!!! (Bad parent!)

Fit well. Comfortable to walk in. Look great!!

Perfect in every way: true to size (6.5); comfy; warm; stylish; color is better than picture shown! I love these boots!!

My husband and I have season tickets to the Pittsburgh Steelers football games. I needed a warm, comfortable pair of boots to wear in the winter months (we park a 1-1/2 away and walk to the stadium). I ordered the Sorel Joan of Arctic and the Columbia Heavenly Omni Heat as well as these. While I liked look of the contrasting fur a bit more, there was no comparison in comfort. The Ice Maiden feel like athletic shoes. I can't wait to test them out!

Great fit in a size 7 for me and size 10 for my teenage daughter. Very easy to put on, comfortable, sturdy, and stylish looking!

These boots are comfortable and warm, and seem to be made well. I ordered one pair in the same size as I wear dress shoe and one pair in my athletic shoe size (1/2 size larger than dress). Both fit OK with fairly thick socks, but the "athletic" size was more comfortable, so that's the one I kept. Before I decided, I wore it at the gym on the treadmill for a mile and a half, and it was very comfortable. It is a fairly sleek styling, so more attractive than some, but probably not suitable for someone with a very wide foot. It could use some more arch support, but has a removable insole that I plan to put a mild support under. Overall, a great boot, and attractive for a snow boot style.

I normally wear narrow shoes so I needed a lace up boot for a great fit. These fit perfect and I can't wait to wear in the snow, super comfy.
