Customer Reviews Columbia Ice Maiden™ II

I ordered these boots after researching shoes for comfort and support because my heels hurt on a daily basis. I LOVE these boots! They were immediately a great choice after wearing them the first day and not wanting to take them off because my feet didn't hurt. What a wonderful thing! Also, the red is so much fun and I got several compliments on them the first wearing. I wish all shoes were this comfortable and supportive.

Nice looking, easy to get on and off— will add a more cushy insole, but good support and warmth— lightweight— could be a bit wider for me, but just won’t wear really heavy socks. Very cold Wisconsin winters, so will be great for that.

Bought as an alternative to a Land's End boot that I had to return as it rubbed my right ankle raw. Very happy with this gray boot! Nice square toe box, which I prefer as I get older. Plenty of room for extra socks. Have only worn in 20-30 degree (F) weather but warm so far. Good arch support. Cute. Hope they last me for years to come.

Very pleased with the look and feel of these boots. Taking them to NYC soon to try out how warm they are but they feel like they will meet my expectations. Can't wait to use them.

I purchased a 1/2 size larger per a recent review given. Worked great. When it’s very cold you need to wear warm socks. Temperature was 25 felt like 14, snow and a wind of 28 MPH. I wore nylons, long socks and a wool pair of socks and my toes stayed warm. Without two pairs of socks my toes were chilly.

I normally wears wide width shoe, but these shoes fit perfectly.

I tried on many boots, even other Columbia boots, and I found these run wider. I normally wear a 9-9.5 D or 9-9.5 wide, but other brands that came in a wide width were too wide. I sized up to a 10 so I could wear thicker socks in them. I am excited to try them out in frigid MN weather as I watch my grandchildren in their ski races. It can get slushy at other times, and the waterproof feature will help in both cases.

Absolutely love these Ice Maiden II! I normally wear and 8 1/2 and I went up 1/2 size so I could wear thicker socks. Columbia is the only winter boot I will buy and the price is great! This is my 3rd pair. I bought the brown ones. Don’t hesitate-you won’t be disappointed. !

L O V E ...so cute and very comfortable! I bought the elk color. I am a true 9 but bought a 9.5...I like my boots a bit bigger. I just wore them around the house and they are very warm which I will need for Montana winters. Highly recommend! I won't buy any shoe if it's not comfortable. Hubby likes them too :)

I've only worn these boots once, but it was the true test in over a foot of snow. Other than them being a little short (for over a foot of snow!), they are AWESOME. Super light weight. Comfy. Good tread. And stylish to boot (pun intended!).

Love these boots!!! They just arrived yesterday and wouldn't you know, we had a freezing rain storm overnight. Tree branches broken, ice glaze over everything and I had to walk my dogs. Great time to try out these boots. They fit perfectly, even with a pair of thicker socks. They were comfortable. They gripped the frozen grass and wet ground. They were warm and waterproof. My feet didn't get cold or wet. I know I will be very happy with these boots, and at such a great price!!!! Yaaa, Columbia

Was really prepared to love these boots after reading all the reviews...and they are very cute. Unfortuantely, I have to send them back. I ordered a half size larger in order to wear thick socks, and that was a fine idea (maybe not necessary but OK). What I had trouble with was a strange rocking motion when I walked (from back to front). This could just be me and my old, odd feet...but I finally decided these boots would not work for me. Ordered the gray color and it is very cool. Continue to love Zappos service!!

After reading the reviews, I decided to order an 8.5, when I am usually an 8. The 8.5 is just about perfect- it has plenty of room if I want to wear thicker socks (although they are so warm, I doubt I will ever need to). (8's probably would have fit me okay as well). They are light weight, and the laces allow for me to cinch them up or leave them a little roomy. Took them out it snow, and my feet were definitely the warmest part of my body. Highly recommend.

Nice warm shoes, comfortable. I ordered half a size up for thicker socks.

These are GREAT! They are super comfortable and my toes have never even gotten close to getting cold. They're even cute! They are extremely true to size. I wear an 8.5 and that's what I ordered. I probably wouldn't wear super thick socks with them though but you really shouldn't because you don't want your feet to get sweaty.

Very comfortable and will be super warm, could tell as soon as I put them on. Great construction -- what you'd expect from Columbia Outerwear.

Love these - they are easy to get on, super comfortable and light weight. They have a good tread and look great. Sized up 1/2 a size and they fit well with normal weight socks with enough room for thicker socks. I normally wear an 8 in boots and sneakers - the 8 1/2 in these is perfect.

I have a pair of Columbia boots that are 3 years old - blue and not as high-top - I LOVE them. So when I got ready for a pair of black ones this year, I stuck with Columbia brand - they did not disappoint. They fit great and will go well with my jeans and black leggings - can't wait for the weather to get cold so I can wear them often!

Bought for these for my wife who loves the style, fit, comfort, and warmth. Seems true to size (despite ordering them a half size larger since she prefers to wear two socks).

I’ve been looking at these boots for a couple years now, but decided to buy them this year when it started to snow here early in October! I think they’re really comfortable, stylish & fits true to size. I prefer bungee closures to laces, but at this price was willing to go with the laces.

I found these boots to run a little on the large size if wearing tights but since I wanted to wear thick wool socks, they were perfect for me! With the lacing, you might be ok with tights, but I'm opting for warmth of thick socks! That being said, the fuzzy lining means I can slip them on to run to the mailbox and still stay warm. Real plus!

These boots are great and a really good value. I was looking for new winter books to replace a pair of Sorels I'd had for years that were falling apart at the seems (literally). I was dreading spending $200 or more on a pair of boots and happened to find this pair in my search. All the high reviews were promising and I can say that in person I definitely love them. They are a LITTLE bit on the clunky/chunky side, but still feel like they're stylish enough that I will happily wear them if I'm doing anything that involves being outside in the Minnesota winter for an extended period of time. I love the color combination on the Elk/Red Velvet variation that I purchased. These feel really warm and like they're definitely going to be good for snow and avoiding wet feet. I ordered my usualy size (a 7.5) based on true to size reviews and kind of wish I'd gotten a 7. To me they feel a little too large, but only minorly so. I'm sure that would be resolved by wearing one-two pairs of thick socks with them.

I love these boots by columbia. This is the second pair I have bought. The first pair lasted me many years. The brown color is darker than appears in the picture.
