Customer Reviews Columbia Ice Maiden™ II Slip

I purchased these boots for a trip to Norway in March. As a Florida resident, I don't have daily use for snow boots, but I definitely needed them in Norway. These boots were my go-to shoes for the entire trip. They were fantastic, warm and very comfortable for all day urban walking, moderate hiking, etc. I really felt like I was wearing slippers the entire trip! These were even great and very warm during an all night Northern Lights excursion. I bought a size 9 (my normal size is 8-8.5), but I knew I would need a little extra room for wool socks. The slip on feature is especially nice when going through airport security and just general ease of use. They are about mid-calf height for a 5'5" person and look great with leggings, skinny jeans or under normal jeans or snow pants. I would recommend these to anyone.

I live in a snowy area (Flagstaff, Arizona), so I need snow boots thaat I can wear to work on days when we have moderate to deep snow. I have been wearing Sorels for years, but was getting tired of the clunky, heaviness of them and the need to lace up. I wanted a pair of lighter weight boots with good tread, water proof, understated in appearance, and tall enough for most snows. These boots are all that! They are easy to slip on, fit like a dream, are warm and waterproof, and have great tread. I love them!

I took these on a winter trip to Iceland and ended up wearing them more than my waterproof hiking boots. They did great keeping my feet warm, dry and comfortable on snowy trails, on slushy sidewalks and standing around in the snow at night searching for northern lights. They slip on easily with heavy weight wool socks. I am really happy with these boots.

I purchased these boots to wear when I am taking the dog for a walk or running around down. Love them for this because they slip on easily, they are comfy and very warm (have been wearing them for the past three weeks in 20-30 degree weather). The lining is nice and fluffy, so the ankles stay nice and toasty and dry (have worn in light snow and heavy rain). I have walked for a couple hours in these and they remained comfortable. While I never feel like they are going to come off when walking, I wouldn't want to run in them or do any thing that required my boots to be on tightly (they are slip-on boots!). Also not sure they are much of a fashion statement, but that wasn't the intent when I purchased them. I have high arches and I can tell that the arch supports are non-existent, but you can easily remove the sole and put in your own inserts (I don't think I need though). I usually wear between a 7 1/2 and 8 and the 8 fits perfectly. The lining is pretty fluffy, so the boot fits well with both a thin and thick sock.

I live in Alaska, and this time of year I am tromping all over in wet and snowy conditions. I bought these boots to replace a long worn out pair of winter boots and so far, have been very pleased with their performance. They are very comfortable and warm, without a lot of weight and don't feel cumbersome to wear at all. You don't need a heavy pair of socks as with many winter boots and they feel warm with a light athletic sock or tights. They slip on and off nicely and are fashionable enough to wear with pants to take the dog for a walk or with dresses on my way to work or out to dinner. I like that I don't have to fool with laces or zippers. I especially like that they are neither too short of a boot or too long of a boot so they slide easily under or over your pant leg without getting all bunched up. A++

Had to return these boots as soon as I got them. The width of the ankle is such that you can't pull them on without a total struggle and I couldn't even get my foot into them! They need a side zipper or something of the sort to get them on & off. I'm also 7 months pregnant, so I really can't be bothered with boots that are a struggle, or anything that's a struggle for that matter! Too bad, as they're a great color, cute, and seem like they'd be a warm choice. I'm definitely going for a side zip boot.

I read the reviews before purchasing these boots and most of them said to order 1/2 size up, but I was hesitant on doing that so I ordered my normal size 9 that I would wear in any shoe and they fit just fine (even with socks). They are a little hard to pull on (with or without socks), but once they were on they felt great. I thought I would have a difficult time getting them off so I asked my husband to pull them before I even tried to do it myself. They came off so easy he nearly fell on his a** thinking he was going to have to pull hard to get the boot off my foot.

I can't believe how great these boots are for the price. I've always had lace-up winter boots, and I can't say enough about this slip-on slip-off boot. It makes it so easy to run outside with the dogs or step out to take out the garbage. They are so easy to pull on with one hand, yet they don't move around on my foot or slip in the back while I'm walking. They are nice and warm and keep my feet dry, and the wide tops allow me to tuck my jeans in. The fur trim looks cute with leggings. I will say, the downsides to this boot are that you really can't use them in very deep snow, as the snow will seep in over the top, and you have to be careful when walking in water, because if you step just right, you can fling water up and into the boot. Because the top doesn't fit snugly against your leg, water and snow can get in. If I'm shoveling the driveway after a really deep snow, I'll choose another boot, but for day-to-day throughout the winter, this is my go-to boot.

Once again Zappos comes to the rescue. I have been looking for a pull on boot forever. And these boots are really the answer to everything I wanted. Comfortable, warm and stylish and affordable.

Really nice, beautiful boot, but it was too tight on my high arches. Otherwise it was well made and cute, even in my size 11!

I normally wear a 10 1/2 N to M (sometimes even a 10!), depending on style. I have a high instep, slight bunions, narrow heel and use custom orthotic inserts. I went up a half size to an 11, and they're perfect. I read other reviews that said the boot ran narrow, and the M is spot on. I didn't have difficulty getting them on, either, as others stated. The heel does not slip, which I often have issue with. I would have preferred gray, but it was O/S at the time. They're quite comfortable for walking the dog. The tread is grippy enough for snowy surfaces.

I’ve had these boots for a while but never had a chance to try them out until I recently wore them for a week straight on a trip to Iceland. I have very high arches which make getting some boots on a challenge but these were easy to slip on and worked well with my medium weight wool socks with fleece lined tights underneath. My normal shoe size is 7.5 but I have these in size 8. I also have had 2 surgeries on the bottom of my left foot so I need a lot of cushioning. I walked miles over pavement and open, sometimes rocky, land in these boots with no issues. I did slip on some ice once and almost went down. After that I wore medium size crampons when conditions were icy. I could get the small size on but it was a real struggle, so mediums work better. The soles are substantial on these boots so snow likely would not be a problem but I’m not sure wading through slush wouldn’t eventually soak through. Overall, I would definitely recommend these boots, especially at this price point.

This is a comfortable boot with above average foot support. My normal size is an 8. I ordered a size 8.5 and 9 after reading the reviews. The size 9 was a little big in the ankle and toe area, but very comfortable. The 8.5 fit perfect around the ankle, but very narrow in the toe area. Almost felt like the size 9 was normal width and the 8.5 was a narrow. I'm keeping the size 9 even though it is a little big - much better than having my toes squeezed in the 8.5's.

I purchased these for my 12 year old daughter. She loves them so much, she wears them daily, snow or no snow.

Just a great snow boot. Tall enough to keep you covered in deep snow. I do like the grey color - neutral for many outfits. It does seem a bit stiff at the ankles, but most boots of this material usually are. I do recommend. I wear a 10 and purchased a 10.5.

As snow boots, they are very mediocre. Not enough traction, lots of dangerous slipping in the snow and no traction on icy walks even when there was a layer of snow on top of the ice. Also the back of the boot dips lower and the boot is wide at the top, so snow kicks right into the boot. They seem to be waterproof except for what gets in through the top of the boot.

TOO NARROW. I wear 9W. This 10M doesn't fit. I also bought Columbia Heavenly Slip II Omni-Heat, 10M. Need to replace my 10 year old Keens; but Keen has no slip on snow boot this year. Will try to find something else for hiking up the mountain trail in Park City with my dogs. Than you Zappos for easy return policy

These are fantastic winter boots. Warm and comfy. I walked all over Austria in them without a blister or cold toes. Can’t beat that.

This Columbia boot is great all around, especially for my RIGHT GREAT TOE, which has had THREE surgeries on it! Lots of "Wiggle Room" for my toe(s)!
