Customer Reviews Columbia Ice Maiden™ II

I've only worn a few times but they are comfortable and keep my feet warm and dry. They feel a little loose but i didn't want to mess with trying to exchange and have the next size down be too small.

going to try exchanging for a half size larger, possibly a full size as i will definitely need cushion inserts as the insole is pretty hard

I like the look of these boots a lot. I have a wider foot, and the regular width I tried on in the store was very narrow. I took a chance and ordered these in a Wide width and am pretty pleased! I feel that my feet have enough room, and once the boots are broken in, they'll be perfect. If you have a very wide foot, however, be warned that these - even in a Wide - will not be wide enough for you! The footbed has no arch support, but the insoles are removable - I stuck a pair of my own orthotics in and they were SO much more comfortable. I like the height of the boot, and the fact that it laces up for wider calves. I've had Columbia snow boots before and they kept my feet crazy warm, so I'm hoping these are no different!

These are very nice, but they were too small for me. Too short in the toe as well as too narrow and they were a wide with. I have to return them.

Just got them so I haven’t officially tried them out in inclement weather, but the feel was great. And they are very cute; hate to think about messing them up and snow and slush!

I wasn't sure if I was going to keep these because the arch support was non existent. You would think it would feel like it does walking on a hard floor without shoes, but it managed to be worse. I kept them because they are very warm and stylish. If I wear them with a thick sock, then they don't seem to bother me so badly. I do not spend a great deal of time in them though. The wide is wide enough, which is hard to find in a winter boot!

Lightweight not clunky. Easy on and off. Grippers fit over these boot as easily as they go over sneakers. Waterproof in soggy southeast Alaska. Comfortable enough to wear inside.

I ordered a half-size up as recommended & overall fit was OK. I hoped these boots would work for me but after I wore them for several hours around the house with a medium weight sock like what I would wear on snowy/cold days, my left foot (which is slightly larger than my right) started to feel pinched over the arch area. This is common problem for me as I have high insteps/arches as well as a wide foot (altho not quite wide enough that I normally need a wide width). I needed a boot that would stay comfortable for long walks so I'll have to return these & keep searching. If a wide width becomes available in my size, I might try it to see if extra width helps the arch area (it doesn't always). Nice boot otherwise. I liked the lighter weight of this boot.

I’ve only worn them once, which was today, for several hours. It was rainy and I wanted to know if they’re really warm and waterproof. That they are. The fit is good, my usual size. My only issue is that it was rubbing my right outer ankle a bit. Not so bad that I’m in pain, but it was a bit uncomfortable. I think thicker and/or longer socks will fix the issue. My feet were dry. I spent much of the day outside in rainy weather. I am optimistic that these will serve me well in the cold, snowy weather I am bound to have here in the Northeast. Also, I have plantar fasciitis in both feet and these boots did not cause pain.

Fit was good, and there was enough room for an insole. With the insole, I had a bit of rubbing near the little toes and the heel, but I'm going to try without the insole to see how it works

Very comfortable and cozy snow boot. I ordered a half size larger so I can wear them with my thick woolen winter socks. They are wide enough for my feet, with the socks. The bottom sole of the shoe is pretty rigid. Even though the boots don't have a lot of arch support, they will be good for tromping in the snow. It would be easy enough to add some arch supporters in the bottom.

The boots are comfortable but I don't find they run narrow as so many reviews said. I bought them 1/2 size large for this reason and don't think I needed to.

I ordered up to a 9.5 (normal sneaker is a 9), that was probably a big enough increase, but as soon as I put my foot in, my thought was it really needs an insert. Not comfortable on the footbed. Very disappointed because as soon as they came out of the box my thought was "They are so cute for a snow boot, I really hope they work out." Just didn't find them comfy and I walk a lot in snow boots. Usually love Columbia.

A snow boot that is available in ladies size 5.5 WIDE and actually fits true to size, including around the leg. My feet are so happy. And the boots are actually a reasonable style and color. The only thing I would change about the boots is that I wish the snow gusset between the leg and tongue extended all the way up to the top of the boot instead of only half way up.

These boots do not keep my feet as warm as I had hoped. I've ordered some wool boot liners and hope that will do the trick.

This boot feels like it would be perfect on an arctic or Scandinavian vacation! I would like more arch support though.

I was most interested in traction. But have not been able to test that yet
