Customer Reviews Columbia Ice Maiden™ II

I LOVE these boots! I'm considering ordering another pair just as a backup. I've walked around in these on city sidewalks and snowy trails. They are comfortable (the longest I've worn them was about 6 miles), keep my feet warm and dry, and are easy to take on and off. I spent an entire day in 17 degree weather a few weeks ago and my feet were the only part of me that didn't feel numb with cold by the end of the day. The soles provide good traction on packed snow and even moderate traction on ice. You won't be disappointed!

Took these straight out of the box on a 3 day trip to Quebec in mid-January, where temps were super cold. Feet stayed warm and toasty and walked miles and miles comfortably with no problems (and I even wore them dog sledding). These boots are super cute too!

These are warm and felt great on my feet. Traction was sturdy for snow, but it didn't have grip on solid ice (wouldn't expect it to). I was in mid-20 degree weather in Lake Tahoe and was fine. Love the Omni Heat feature - just moving my leg made the warm air flow keep my feet toasty. I wore regular thickness wool blend socks underneath. Went up half a size so that there was wiggle room. No arch support, but it was fine for me.

I was looking for a snow boot that were stylish and kept my feet warm. These are perfection. They are so comfortable and my feet stay warm without overheating. I LOVE them!!!!!!

I ordered these boots because they are supposed to keep feet warm down to -25 degrees. They have been keeping my feet toasty down to just below zero and that is a first for me. They are easy to get on and off and I don't slip when I am outside shovelling snow or out and about. I really love these boots!!!

Hands down the best winter boots I ever owned. So far, I wore them several times for 30-40 minute walks in 5 inches of snow at around 7 degrees Fahrenheit (dry cold) and they kept my feed dry and warm. I was surprised by how lightweight they are. I had owned some older and clunky winter boots, so this was a big plus. I am a size 11.5 and ordered a 12. Initially, I was a bit worried that they might be too big, but they fit nicely and the width is perfect. You might be able to put some insoles in (which I did) or at least wear another pair of socks. I had also ordered the Columbia Minx Mid II Omni-Heat, which also fit great and were really light-weight, but they are made of very flexible fabric that did not provide enough ankle support for me. If you are looking for a cute pair of boots that provide ankle support, are lightweight and keep your feet warm, you might want to give the Ice Maiden a try.

Love 'em! Very comfortable. I ordered a 1/2 size up to allow for thick socks. Will do perfectly!!

These boots are true to size or maybe a touch smaller and comfortable when trying them on. I ordered a half size up and can see why these boots got so many good reviews. I thought the look of the boot was fine, but decided on the Sorel Tofino II because it was a cuter boot.

Love, love, love these boots. Bought them to wear on a trip to Europe over New Year's. Wore them every day for 10 days and never had to wear anything other than regular socks. On NYE, the temp was 21 degrees and my feet were toasty warm. These are also very cute, comfortable and don't make your feet sweat. I did buy a half size larger as recommended in some reviews and that made them quite comfortable but not too big.

This is a very comfortable boot I bought them as a gift for my mom she simply adores them.

So happy with these boots! I am a South Texas girl who does not like to be cold and these boots did the trick! I wore these in snow and slush in mid 20-30 degree temps and with my warmest hiking socks on, my feet were kept warm and dry on a 5 mile hike. No problems at all in the snow and slush. I didn't expect them to, but know that these will not keep you from slipping on ice, but most shoes won't without crampons anyway. The next test was in the Adirondacks and the temps were 1-5 degrees. In those temps, my feet were freezing! Perhaps adding some thermal socks under the hiking socks would have helped. I will definitley try that next time. Besides keeping my feet warm (except for the ridiculously cold 1 degrees), these boots are extremely comfortable right out of the box. I wore them on level hiking ground (snow&slush), did several miles on a jetty that was rocky and sometimes wet. My feet were dry and comfortable the whole time. I would order a half size up to allow for thick socks. I love these boots and would order them again!

I put these boots to test yesterday when we had more than 6 feet of snow in Boston, with a wind chill temperature in the single digit. These had a good grip, did not slip at all walking in thick pasty snow. They kept my feet warm. Totally waterproof, had no problem digging my foot in snow. Very comfortable. I wear 7.5 in flats and ordered these boots in 8.5. Overall, satisfied with my purchase, they passed the snow test!

These are great boots. They are comfortable right out of the box and are very warm. I have done some short hikes in them and they are great. The grey color is super cute. I was a little worried about having white trim at the top, but it looks good. I would definitely buy again.

Wow- we had snow and I tested these boots. LOVE them. Toes stayed toasty warm, got good traction in the snow with an underlying ice layer. Shoveled the sidewalk and driveway and HAD FUN because of these boots. I feel so CUTE in them (actually it is the boots that are cute, but hey, if that transfer! Just ordered another pair of Columbia shoes- love this brand.

I rarely write reviews, but these boots deserve one! I had previously owned boots by Kamik and while durable, they were way too heavy making them uncomfortable to walk around. Just got these boots, and they are the exact opposite! Lightweight, very warm and great in the snow-already got to try them out thanks to a storm. All that, and they're cute, too! Great job Columbia!

I like these boots a lot. But I ordered them for my grandmother and they're too stiff and long/high for a tiny little grandmother. But they are very well made, stylish boots for most anybody else.

Found these and took a chance...the most comfortable boots I've owned. Good for snow or rain. These boots kept my feet warm for hours in the snow. I plan to purchase a second pair in the grey. Look great and feel great. 5 stars!!

Love these boots and do keep you warm.

Bought these for a winter trip to New York. My feet were warm, toasty and dry after a very rainy week and even an accidental misstep into a deep puddle. These boots were great with leggings, and I could even wear my trouser jeans over them on my jeans days. I did buy a half size up, but think I probably could have stayed at my own size and still been fine (even with thicker socks). I would have preferred more arch support, but with the extra room from going a half size up, I simply slipped in some arch support inserts and they made a huge difference. I would definitely recommend these boots to anyone trying to decide whether or not to get them!

Love this bootI I had sorrels and while they were comfortable to walk in and looked good, my toes were always FREEZING in those boots in the cold. These Ice Maidens look fab and keep my toes toasty. And they come in size actual 12!! Amazing!

These are most likely true to size if wearing with regular ski socks. I had to reorder them in my regular size instead the larger size.

Bought this boot for my daughter for her trip to Tahoe for New Years. She loves the boot. Cute but also very functional. Kept her feet warm and dry in the snow. Comfortable for her short hike. Definitely a keeper.
