Customer Reviews Columbia Ice Maiden™ II

Overall a great boot. Great looking for a snow boot and not super bulky like most snow boots made for real cold snowy days.

I'm impressed! I waited to review these until I had properly worn them through some weather, I wasn't so trusting they would hold up to the nasty sloppy wet snow, but they did fantastic. They are just as cute as pictured, warm and cozy, kept my feet totally dry, have nice traction, and I find they wear similar to my favorite hiking shoes - very comfortable and supportive, light and easy to walk in. I have not driven with them on, but feel like I could. These will definitely be my go to winter boots for walking the dog in the wet and cold, and before/after skiing. I was replacing a pair of 20+ yr old Sorels which are still in great shape, and great if I'm just standing around in snow, but they are clunky and big and hard to walk long distances in. I'm really happy I found these Columbia boots!

I bought these for a snow trip and they kept my feet warm and dry. I bought a half size up so that I could wear a thick pair of socks and the fit was perfect. Love the cozy fur inside. They look great with tights and my ski pants (with bell bottoms) fit just fine tucked in when I was off the slopes.

Fashionable (enough) for a snow boot; fit as expected. I wear a 7.5 in tennis shoes and usually size up to an 8 for boots. I ordered an 8 and like the fit - there's enough room for heavy socks if I want to wear them. The soles were a little squeaky initially, but that subsided after just a few minutes walking around the house, so I don't think it's a permanent issue.

I ordered these boots to wear in Washington, D.C. Since it is cold there in January and I was going to be standing outside for a long period of time, I wanted something warm and windproof. I wore these boots all 3 days I was there, walking 8 1/2 miles, 6 1/2 miles and over 5 miles over the 3 days. They are extremely comfortable and warm. It was rainy one day and they kept my feet dry also. LOVE these boots and how comfortable and warm they are. I would highly recommend them.

Love these boots. Very stylish, soft and comfortable. Easy on with no struggle tying them up. I wear size 7 and ordered 7. Fit perfectly with thicker sock. The soles look sturdy and waterproof/resistant for wintry conditions. I ordered 4 pairs of boots: Tundra Lacie, Tundra Dot and two Columbia's, the Ice maiden II slip on and this Ice maiden II lace up. The tundras went back. They were ok for the price but the Columbias were definitely better. The Ice Maiden II Slip on was nice and comfortable but this lace up boot looks more stylish with the contrasting texture of fabric and nice faux fur around the leg that you can snug up because of the laces.

My first pair of snow boots... Purchased them to take to Idaho in January, expecting a lot of snow. They are rated -25 degrees, and while we did not experience that weather, the boots were better than perfect. Could not have asked for more warmth. Very comfortable with all day, lots of walking, use. One day we treked 40 minutes through 3 feet of undisturbed snow; we sunk with every step. Fresh snow gathered around the top of the boots, but snow was easy to flick out with a finger, and no snow entered the boots. I got the shorter boot style, but would now get the higher style. During this day of walking in deep snow, the boots remained warm and dry. The only 'complaint' I have is fitting, however that could be my fault. Perhaps if I had ordered a half size smaller, I'd not complain... Even though I wore very thick, wool, insulated socks, the boots sagged a bit, and the portion around my shin tightened up to itself, rather than tighten around my leg. I would rather have them tighter, but perhaps it was designed this way for easier ankle movement. ??

As many people before me, I ordered half a size up, and it feels fine with room for a thick sock. These boots look super cute over skinny jeans. So far, they've been pretty warm and haven't let water through (it's gone down to maybe 25 degrees this winter).

These are great boots. They are easy to put on and take off and they're very comfortable. Fortunately it has not snowed since I got them, so I can't say how they do in the snow. I ordered a pair 1/2 size bigger than my shoe size, and they just fit, but I needed a little more room. I returned the boots, and ordered 1 size bigger than my shoe size, and they fit perfectly. I would definitely recommend these boots. Also, kudos to Zappos customer service! They're great! Marlon was very helpful in processing my return, and ordering another pair of boots. He had a great sense of humor, too. It is so refreshing to deal with a company that really does put customer service first.

With a pair of heavy socks, the size 9 fit my 8 1/2 narrow feet very well. Very comfortable on the first wearing.

Oh. My. Gosh. My feet have never been so cozy. And they look pretty great too.

These boots are awesome! Warm, comfortable, do yourself a favor and buy them!

So toasty! You do not even need warm socks to keep your feet snug. They also claim to be waterproof, though I have not yet had the opportunity to verify.

I like these very much. Surprisingly they were immediately comfortable. They feel somewhat lighter than other boots I've tried and don't feel rigid in the foot and ankle area which I've experienced with other boots. The style is fine for me, unobtrusive, not clunky . They work well with pants, are not too high They are supposed to be good in very cold temps but I haven't had a chance yet to try that out.

Wonderful snow boot. First time wearing them was snow tubing. My feet stayed completely dry and most importantly, warm! Traction was also great on the snow. No break in period was required as they were super comfortable first time wearing them. Arch support isn't fantastic but not awful either. Probably the best snow boot I've ever owned. Bonus points for how stylish they are!

I love these boots! They are super warm, comfortable (not in the least bulky or heavy) and they look great! In my case, they are true to fit, even with a thick sock.

These boots are perfect. So comfortable, I didn't want to take them off. Went for a long hike and they did great...very warm, and plenty of support.

Cute boot, but for my purposes of walking a mile to work and back, I wanted a boot that was a bit more flexible and that would "move" more like a shoe.

These boots are super comfortable and warm. The height is just right, not so tall that your legs are smothered, but high enough to keep out the snow and wetness. I have very wide feet and I just went up a size and they fit well. Very happy!

I love these boots. They actually do keep my feet warm in extremely cold weather (below freezing). They have really great tread on the soles so this far I haven't slipped on the ice (yet). Definitely recommend.
