Customer Reviews Columbia Ice Maiden™ II

Heavier than I wanted and not as flexible as I desire. But after I put a fleece liner in, it was better.

It wasn't comfortable at first. But after I put on two pair of socks, it was much better. Still will need an arch support though.

I wanted to like these, but they didn't fit across the top of my foot. They also felt very stiff.

I bought these because they came in a wide width allowing me to wear thick socks (with my bunion) and because they are well insulated- good to 20 degrees F. They aren’t ultra stylish but at below freezing style isn’t the deciding factor. These fit the bill and still look fine.

I wanted to love these but they felt very stiff and uncomfortable out of the box.

I wear an 8-1/2 to a 9. These were a 9 and my toes touched the end. I returned them

So these came close to being ok, but the wide width just worried me a bit. Rather than feel roomy, they were a tad squeezing the sides of my foot. I also wish they had a zipper to ease taking them on and off, but that wasn't a deal breaker. I just was afraid to keep these and always feel the squeeze. If I knew they would loosen up, I may have kept them. I no longer buy shoes hoping they'll get better. I've had years of disappointments in shoe widths and wasn't willing to take a chance.

I had on thick socks and felt very comfortable in these boots. Insulation in the boots was great my feet were very warm.

I ordered these in wide, but they were still too narrow. The insole was removable, so I was able to put my own arch support in. They were cute and seemed like they'd be warm. But being too narrow for a Wide boot was a deal breaker. I had to return them. I found a pair of mens Merrell insulated boots at another retailer that worked. If you don't have a wide foot and want to add your own insoles, they'd be worth a try.

I loved this style and the quality was excellent. I have some anomalies with my left foot. Unfortunately, the toe box on this shoe is too tight, so I can't wear them.

this boot size 7 was too small with thick socks. I usually am a size 7 or 7.5

I bought a size 9.5 because I planned to wear the boots with thick socks, but they were so wide that I could not tighten them enough to keep my foot from moving around. I liked the boots, and thought about trying a smaller size, but I get tired of returning things.

The size feels roomy, the fit a bit narrow, and the arch support is quite minimal, not to say non- existent. However there will be room for adding a sole inside the boots, and that is needed. They are not heavy, easy to lace, warm especially around the ankle, but not so much the toes, flexible when walking and add a bit of height with their thick outsole. Now for their looks, at first I thought the wrong model was delivered: I wanted the one that was clearly bicolor brown and ' grapefruit ' yet received an entirely brown model... Taking a photo, some pale pinkish hues appeared in the right spots, so I guess this model is one of those 'not as photographed' items. As these shoes are needed now, I will not return them but am disappointed--- or maybe perplexed if, with use, the bicolor scheme I wanted eventually appears. I think that with thick socks and an insole, they will be satisfactory, if not for the color scheme. Durability TBD -- just received.

No arch support, not very comfortable

I was so surprised that these were too big. Otherwise wonderful!

I got a different pair of Columbia boots and the size 9 wide was too small, so I returned those and got these instead. I liked that they are a bit taller. The foot area is definitely wide & accommodates my foot. I sized up from a 9 to 9.5 - that did the trick! Fits very well, and I can wear them with thick socks, and they’re not tight. The taller shaft will help keep snow out of the boot! I marked them lower for style because they’re kinda clunky looking, but other than that, they are great.

This shoe felt very heavy and I had trouble getting my foot into them. So, I didn't like the style or weight and returned them.

What’s up with boots these days? I keep reading reviews saying (and experiencing myself!) that the toe boxes are narrow and short and people are having to size up. Same with these Columbias! If I get another pair, I’m going to have to get a 9! I get size 8 to give my toes extra room, but I’ve sent 3!different brands of boots back because 8 won’t cut it anymore! Not me! I’m reading it in reviews too! Size up,mama!

The boots are super cute, love the blue laces, but they did not work for me. I felt that they were too tight around my feet. I don’t mind a snug fit, but this was a little too much. I like my toes to be able to breath.
