Customer Reviews Columbia Ice Maiden™ II Slip

I bought these boots to wear while walking the dog. They are easy to slip on and off and keep my feet warm and dry in cold MN weather. I'm usually a 7 1/2 or 8 in shoes, the 8 was perfect for me and allows me to wear thicker socks if needed. The traction in snow is very good but I do find that like most boots I need to be more cautious on ice. As others have mentioned the back of the boot is slightly lower and sometimes snow does get inside if walking in deep snow.

This boot has great style, great quality and is nice and warm. The only issue is that they're difficult to slip on. There's no finger strap on the back to help you pull them on. It's a two handed effort to get them on. Once your foot is in, they are very comfortable. They are easy to take off though.

Warm boots and great buy

Very nice looking winter boots that seem to hold up well. Lots of traction and are waterproof, which is great for those of us living in the upper midwest. I haven't yet worn them in temperatures below 20, but they are very warm. Not the most comfortable boot - adding insoles would be a good idea. However, they are very nice and look good with both casual and work attire. I wear a 7.5, but initially bought a 8 because of reviews saying they ran small. I didn't find that to be the case and had to buy a 7.5.

Good stylish boot. Had to return to get the next size up.

Received this boot so I can use before/after skiing, walking to the mailbox, etc. I would say that everything about this boot is GREAT, except there's absolutely no consideration to foot support. Not great for longer walking unless you change out the insoles....which I did. On top of getting them on sale, I would definitely recommend and would likely buy again, if available. Went up one size so I can wear a thicker sock on occasion.

A little narrow, couldn't keep them.

I really wanted to like these boots. They were comfy from the minute I put them on, with great treads, & altho I didn't wear them outside, they were toasty enough indoors that I'm sure they'd be fine; they're rated to a below-zero temp I don't usually see. However, the mixed suede/quilted fabric/rubber styling is clunky rather than stylish (at least in black), & I'm not crazy about the light gray faux fur ~ it would probably get dirty fairly quickly. But the dealbreaker for me was something I didn't notice when I ordered them: There's no zipper! Which means it's tough to tuck jeans in smoothly, & hard to make a gator work with snow pants. For some reason (perhaps the missing zipper?) the back also dips down an inch or two lower than the front, which is a great way to get snow down your boot if it's more than 3-4" deep. Depending on where you live, these could be warm, comfy boots. But these didn't pass the functionality test for me, so unfortunately, they're going back.

I'm a size 8.5 but bought a 9. it fits just right

These boots are what I have been looking forward to having for the increment weather
