Customer Reviews Columbia Ice Maiden™ II

These boots are so easy and comfortable to wear. They are quick to put on. I am just not sure they are overly warm. I usually have to wear a a pair of heavy socks with them to avoid feeling the cold.

I really do like these boots. I hesitated after reading the others about ordering a 1/2 size larger. I should have listened to them. With some thicker socks and the fact that my left foot is slightly longer, I would have been happier with the 1/2 size larger. I did end up keeping the ones I ordered and they are overall very comfortable. I love how it keeps my ankles so warm. I am happy that I got these.

Light weight Water proof for my times in CO Kinda basic, kinda unisex Does fit a bit smaller than size suggests

Great, comfortable boot for the snow. Runs large so I have to wear fairly thick socks, but that helps keep my feet warm and dry so they work well.

I really like these boots. They aren't the cutest snow boots in the world, but they are incredibly warm and fairly comfortable. I wore them for a 4 mile walk straight out of the box. Over the past two weeks, I've worn these for hikes and errands. Best of all, in the below-zero weather, they keep the feet toasty!

Just got these in and awaiting a winter storm to fully experience them, but initial walks with the dogs indicate they are warm and comfy. I got half size larger based on reviews so that I could put in an extra liner/and or wear thick socks. Zappos rocks!!

These winter snow boots are definitely warm and cozy!! I ordered a half size bigger to have room for thick socks. I love that they are water proof and have a thick flexible sole. They are pretty stylish but a bit more chunky than shown online in the pics. However they look cute with leggings or skinny jeans. They are great if you have a wide foot and won't cramp your toes. Over all I think this was a very reasonable purchase and I know I will have these babies for a few years!

Overall it is a warm boot, but I do have high arches and they are just under my foot. The heel is a lil cushy and are easier to put on and off unlike the Vasque boots I tried. Does hit on the shin in an awkward way . I wear a 9.5 and got 10 but need to change to my size since my heel is moving up and down.

Today we are expecting a snow storm so these boots will be put to the test. They seem a little wide for my foot, but if I replace the insoles with my orthotic's they seem to fit fine. Although I am concerned with the removal of the original insoles that I will lose some warmth. We will see.

This boot has a very narrow toe box, however the arch support and sole feel very comfortable. If there was more space in the toe box I would have considered keeping them.

Very warm and cozy. I seem to always have cold feet, but not when I wear these. I do double sock, so I bought the next half size up. Not that sweaty, nasty, slimy hot, but cozy warm.

Loved the style of this boot; I ordered a size 7 but it was too large even with thick socks. Will order a half size smaller

I wear a 9 in flats and a 9.5 in running shoes. The 10 in this boot fit me perfectly. They are pretty comfy and warm, though I would have liked it if they came up higher in the back (to prevent more snow from getting in when trudging through deep snow). No arch support whatsoever, so I may look into inserts.

I tried this and ended up returning them. However, I really did like them! they were very very comfortable and I could see myself wearing them all day. the issue I had is when I would bend at the ankle, I felt like the shaft of the boot dented in and stabbed me every time. I've had this issue with winter boots many times. I wore them around my house to see if I could make do, but it was super annoying and I knew I would stop wearing them. I dont think this is an issue many people have, as I haven't heard others complain about it...so take this review as you need. I love Columbia products in general, this one just didn't work for me.

I ordered these boots before winter time to be sure that I will get the right size before it runs out of sizes.I wear a medium 7.5 before, but I developed plantar fasciitis ,so I decided to order one size bigger ,8.5 Medium.I tried these with my foot orthotics and thick socks around the house,since that's my intention this coming winter and my feet feel great,there's still some room to wiggle my toes and I like the fact that I can adjust the laces to loosen or tighten the calf area.I had one pair of columbia shoes before, and I like the omni grip of the soles,it really works except may be in very hard ice you need to get a shoe spike to put on your shoes.For those who want to use thick socks,may be get 1/2 size bigger and for those who have foot problems ,get one size bigger than your reg.size if you intend to use orthotics and thick socks.For now ,I gave 4 stars since ,I have not use them yet.For sure ,come winter time these boots will be tested.

I bought these shoes for a trip to Finnish Lapland. At first the material is very stiff and hurt my feet. Once they were broken in, they were comfortable to walk in. My feet kept toasty warm, and the wide foot bed allows plenty of room to layer wool socks. The soles provided decent traction on the snow.

These are super cute! They are a great neutral color and adjustable for us skinny calved women. I have got slim feet and these run on the narrow side. I am not sure if I am going to exchange them for a wider width.

I love these boots. They are comfortable and keep my feet warm when shoveling snow. Also, look good tucked into your jeans.

I have yet to test this on ice or in below freezing weather, but as described, it is warm and has good tread. It is quite comfortable and my favorite part is how stylish this is. Overall it appears to be a great snow boot that looks nice, keeps toes warm and dry, and gives me traction.

Decent boot. I tried on 7 boots (Keen #1, this one #2). This was a bit bulkier than the Keen, plus the Keen had a zipper for easy on/off. Otherwise I probably would have purchased this one.

Now I have one reason to not be able to wait for the snow! Loved this boot, and look forward to trying it out in the elements. Even with the fuzzy interior, my size 12 boot fit perfectly. I will need to add a separate arch support inside, as there is very little, but overall a great boot. So glad I found this!

Really loved these, and would keep them but I think I would get too warm in them. I wear thick socks and usually have hot feet. These were just too stuffed to begin with.

I generally wear a size 10 in a wide, so I went up to 10 1/2 in these since they are medium width. They feel like a comfortable size 10W. I can wear average thickness socks easily, but the super thick woolen socks may create a snug fit for me. I got the Shale/Dark Raspberry-- which is just an allover gray with a dark pink logo on the tongue in front. These boots are surprisingly lighter weight then expected. I've been wearing a pair of Timberland Womens Mt. Hope Mid boots for the past several winters (which are great looking, nice quality & warm but have always been too narrow, even with them being labeled wide!)...but those Timberlands are heavier in comparison. These Columbias are my first ever, they are really cute and freakishly warm. I do have a fuller, muscular calf then average, but these look and feel quite nice on them. I can tuck jeans with ease into them, or wear leggings.

I am disappointed that these didn't fit. They are a half size too small, and while I can exchange them easily (thanks to the wonderful Zappos service!), they didn't have enough arch support for me. But they are lightweight, clearly warm, and good looking so I'd recommend at least trying them.
