Customer Reviews Columbia Ice Maiden™ II

The fit was great if I didn't need to wear warm thick socks, I am exchanging my size 5.5 for a size 6. If you plan on wearing these boots say for snowmobiling you will want to go up a size or size and half.

Comfortable & warm but runs 1/2 size smaller.

I bought my regular size 8.5 but got a wide. I put my orthotics in and it worked. These are cute boots. Will be great this winter. Got the 2 tones gray color..easy to lace up too..

Well, I think they're just too roomy and overall, too large. Nothing wrong with the boot itself. Just clunky and large.

I think Columbia makes very high quality products and I love the looks of these in the light gray color, but they have an odd feel, as though I was standing on a large pipe running the length of my feet. I noticed this with a pair of Columbia hiking boots at least 10 years ago

Liked the style but too big

Decent arch support and good in cold weather and slippery pavement. Not too much snow this year, but rain, ice and cold winds.

Love the look. Good traction in slippery conditions. Definitely needed to go up a size even with thin socks

These are a very warm boot, great for freezing days! I also really like the look of them, and they are easy to get on, adjust, and remove. Now for the cons. I have wide feet, and a wide is almost too narrow. The regular width is so narrow I could not even get my foot inside. The insole is not very good either, and definitely needs to be swapped for something with actual arch support. These are a nice, warm, stylish boot, made more for people with narrow feet.

Good, not my style, and the size seems too small (remember you will use big socks with that)

Wore them to work 2 days in a row, they were great! I work with children and they were comfortable, definitely would recommend. I did not slip and walked with confidence in the snow.

Finally, a pair of quality snow boots that I can get my high arch & instep into! Love that the gusset under the lacing is sewn to about 4" up, so no wet feet. I think they will be warm, too.

I have hallux rigidus, so I need a stiff sole and the ability to insert my orthotics. I am also accident prone, so I need good tread on the sole to ensure I don't break my tailbone on the ice (again). And, I walk my dog daily, even in the coldest conditions of Ohio, so I need warmth. This boot delivers on all three requirements. I did buy a half size larger than my usual size just to ensure I could use my custom inserts and that there would be no pinching for the long dog walks. They're a little roomy but very comfortable, warm, and stable. No rubbing on my ankles, either, which has been a problem for me with snow boots in the past. Are they the absolute cutest boots ever? No. But the comfort and functionality win out.

Good fit, nice style.

Nice boot

I wanted these to work out. As far as use goes, they felt alright though a bit snug, and didn't seem like they'd be warm. But whereas I usually buy boots to be as utilitarian as possible, In the pictures, they looked a stylish orange & pink, but they turned out to be a blah brown. Makes sense because how many people would buy orange & pink boots? But they looked so cute!

Seems to fit me true to size, warm and comfortable!

Very narrow fit, too narrow for me, although I like the style. Length was right size. I would try to size up 1/2 size if the size was available. Unfortunately for me, it is not. Otherwise it seems well made and a warm boot for cold winter walking.

I sized up to ensure the ability to wear with thick wool socks. No issue on size or width. Thermally speaking, I wore them for several hours in single digit temperatures, at which point I swapped them out for my arctic boots that insulate down to minus 40. ? One thing to note: the gusseting along the tongue only comes up part way which allows for snow to seep in, thus--wet & cold lower calf.

Good fit. True to size. Cute style.

They are very comfortable, and they keep me warm which I love. They are not that stylish but they are ok. I also like the fact that they have fur on the inside which helps to keep my feet warm.
