Customer Reviews Columbia Ice Maiden™ II

These are great quality boots. Quality materials, lace up easily, are comfortable, and seem very warm (from what I can tell by wearing around the house). The footbed is very comfortable. The only reason I returned these is the width was a little narrow for me. I wear a 7.5 so ordered an 8 to allow for room in the width. Unfortunately they were a tad too long. The 7.5 fit perfectly but width was still a bit narrow. If you have an average width foot you should be very happy with them!

I did return these because they were too big and bulky. I can see the warmth people rave about and how awesome they’d be in the snow. I was looking for something more stylish and they were big and bulky on me. I bought my normal size and my feet were very loose inside the boot and I couldn’t lace them up tight enough. Just not what I wanted. The color was a tad off from the picture too. I bought the tan and they were a dirty tan (almost yellow undertone).

These are stylish, super comfortable shoes. I did not have to size up as it fits true to size (for me). The shipping takes two business days and it arrived on time and in new condition. The shoes have good traction compared to many othes and they are warm. I am happy with my purchase and would recommend these shoes to others.

Loved these! Super light weight, comfortable and flexible! Would be perfect for everyday but I was looking for something a little more sturdy and heavy duty for playing in the snow for long periods with the kiddos.

I ordered these first in a Size 10. Since I wear 9.5 in shoes lately I figured a 10 would be good with thick wool socks. The 10 felt really big even with the thick socks so got the 9.5. Even these feel plenty big but I'd rather have wiggle room in the cold than too tight for sure! They feel a bit more like I'm walking in shoes or hiking boots than snow boots. I liked some other styles (Boggs) but they seemed a little loosey goosey (comfortably so). I've yet to wear them in cold weather, snow, or mush so I can't say if they will be warm but I sure hope so as that's what I got them for--winter walking outside. Will be testing them out soon hopefully. They are very lightweight. Hard time choosing between these and the Kamik cute red ones (MomentumLo)! Decided these being a bit taller will keep more snow out. Hopefully they will live up to the warmth rating! I live in the midwest where winter is harsh. It was such a tough choice for me so I'm hoping it's the right one!! Some of the other Columbia's were very narrow and tight--cute but just too tight. I have a slender/avg foot and thin calves so I can't imagine who those slender ones would fit!

I ordered 1/2 size up because I wanted to put thick socks in them. I have a medium width foot, but it is wider in the ball of the foot. I find the shoe a TINY bit snug in the ball of the foot, but it will stretch I'm sure; and if it doesn't I'll still be fine. They work great with thick hiking socks. The footbed seems very hard, but I have to use an arch insert for my very high arch, so it works out fine. (I'm not certain a whole-foot insert would work well for me in the toe, but the insert that works in this shoe does not go to the ball of my foot.) The style is adorable, and with my insert and thick socks, I am going to be a very happy camper. I downgraded one point on overall because of the incredibly hard footbed that has no arch.

I wear an 8.5-9 and ordered a 9 to accommodate thick socks and the boots fit well. Nice to walk in. At 20 degrees my feet were getting cold but not painfully so. I doubt my feet would stay warm at the temperature advertised. The water proofness of the materials has not been tested.

I ordered a 1/2 size larger than my usual size and they are perfect for wearing with my usual socks and with thicker boot socks as well. These boots are warm, comfortable and very cute! They seem well made.

I bought these boots for playing in the snow with my grandkids. They seem very warm & comfortable. There is no arch support so I kept the 8 1/2 instead of the 8 & took out their supports & put in my own. Now they feel perfect. I think they are pretty cute.

The boots look nice, but they are not 100% comfortable: a bit of a push on the toes I am not sure they will stretch since I believe front part is not leather I am still keeping them though

I ordered these in a 10.5, I wear a 9.5 or 10 depending on the brand and style of the shoe. I was hoping to order them in a 11 but they were out of stock so with Zappos easy return policy I decided to try the 10.5 they fit perfect with thin athletic socks. I then tried them on with thicker socks on top of the thin athletic socks and they were only a little snug. I noticed there was another color for about $20 less in an 11 so I am going to compare the two once the 11's arrive. The boots have a temperature rating of -25F/-32C once I figure out which size is best I'll test out the warmth. So far the boots feel soft, cozy and look great, they come up right below my calf. Looking for boots to wear in Antartica

These boots were too narrow in the forefoot for me. Otherwise it seems like a pretty nice, lightweight boot, though without much padding underfoot. Note that the brown is darker than it appears on the website.

Cute, warm, and water proof, but after a few days of wear, I'm getting blisters under my ankle bones.
