Excellent warmth on bitter cold days! Sizing does run slightly small, but after reading other reviews, I ordered a half size up, which fit nicely. Some snugg-ness in the toes, but I have wide feet, and after wearing a couple of times, the toes seemed to stretch and conform to my feet.

I bought these for a ski vacation, but then ended up using them for a work trip during the NYC winter. I literally took them out of the box and wore them the next day for 5 days straight. Comfortable, waterproof, and keep your feet real warm. They do run small. I'm usually a size 5 and bought a size 5.5 per the other reviews. I can't wear thick socks with these shoes or they would be too tight. Really like them and great price.

They are pretty comfortable when you get them on..... Very hard time pulling them on but other than that not bad....

I wanted boots that I could just slip on without messing with zippers or having to pull them on and these fit that bill perfectly.
On the down side the boots have no real arch support but I was able to add an insert. I also feel they could be warmer...perhaps a thicker sole would help. On the up side the boots are definitely waterproof so that's a big plus.
One complaint I have on almost all womens winter boots...what is the purposeof
the stupid fake fur trim they all seem to have...useless!

Nice quality boot, but even at a full size larger than my normal size they were snug to get on/off with a high arch. Otherwise, looked cute over jeans or leggings while also offering great traction and warmth. Wish they fit better.

I like these boots overall. I bought them because the zipper broke on my favorite Sorrels. That makes this boot a plus without a zipper! They pull on a bit snug, but that's good because my feet feel very comfortable once inside and keeps them from sliding off. i recommend that Columbia put a loop on the back to help pull the boot on. The boots are toasty warm around the ankles and top of the feet. Wisconsin has had some really cold weather and plenty of snow in the last couple of weeks. My feet have mostly been comfortable. Columbia advertised that you can remove their footbed to put in your own. I needed to do that because theirs has absolutely no arch. Well, their footbed seems to be the only insulation for the bottom. Since I have to use a footbed with an arch, the bottoms of my feet were getting cold. That was no good. I figured out a way to add insulation underneath so now the arches have support and warmth on the bottom. At least, there was space in the footbed to do that. Just be aware that if you don't use their footbed, you may feel some chill on the bottom unless you add your own insulation.
I really am happy with them. The height keeps pants tucked so they don't get all cruddy from snowy/salty street grime. And the tread has a good grip. I've walked on some icy spots, started to slip, but the boots stayed put and kept me from falling. :)

Bought to replace a pair of snow boots for snow shoveling and playing in the snow. Hasn't snowed yet, so not sure how they will hold up. I purchased my usual size in snow boots and I have plenty of room, but not enough to size down. Slip on easily and don't seem to rub anywhere. Definitely a little clunky looking and feeling, but as long as my feet are warm and dry, I could care less. Looking forward to using them.

Cute but too short in calf length for walking in snow. These run very small. Exchanged for half size up and still to short and tight width

I feel that I can't really give a full review, as I have not worn them in the snow or any wet conditions. But i can say they fit true to size and are easy to slip on and off. I was a little worried when I read reviews stating they had trouble sliding their feet into the boot, but i put on the thick socks that I will wear with the boots and I had no problem getting my foot in and out with ease.

I ordered an 8.5 and they fit perfectly. I haven't worn them yet, but will shortly as the weather in NJ is getting cooler.

I love Columbia products. They are really reliable. I bought these for a trip to Antarctica, as I feel that this brand is very reliable and it would keep me warm. Unfortunately the trip got canceled, so I did end up returning them as I did not use them and I live in Florida, but I feel if I ever decide to go again I may purchase these. However I noticed that after I bought them they did come in black, and I think I would prefer that. This is a very light gray, so might be easy to get dirty. They were very comfortable though, and Columbia products are always great for travel

I liked these but decided to return because it was slightly big. Kept my feet warm, but being out of cold weather for mot of the year didn't think I could put the, to good use.

Great boots! Relatively light but very sturdy sole. Really, really warm and fit well with jeans. Wore them in multiple feet of snow in the mountains and snowshoeing and they are definitely waterproof. Very happy with my purchase.

These boots are very cute and stylish. They are exactly as described and they arrived in two days! The only reason that I didn't give them 5 stars is because it was a little difficult to squeeze my foot into the right shoe. But, once I did, it felt good. If it were too loose, the boot would rub the heel. Oddly enough, they were quite easy to remove! I think I will enjoy the boots.

These are comfortable boots. They will be great this winter. The reason that I gave them four stars instead of five is that I would like to see a pull on loop, but otherwise they are great.

I really wanted to like this boot. Love the look of it and it is well constructed. However, it was with extreme difficulty that I barely got it on my foot because the shank is way too tight. I eventually forced my foot down into it and once on, it was true to size 7 and felt great; however, when I removed it and tried putting it on a 2nd time, it felt like the skin on the top of my foot was going to be rubbed off. (I planned to wear them barefooted). I wear a size 6.5-7 and it was true to size 7 in the foot and felt comfortable once I got it on; but there are no pull straps on the sides to assist with pulling them on and it was just too tight in the shank to do so with any ease. That's why I am returning same day as received. I also bought the Skechers Shelby's Tassel in a 6.5. This boot went on like silk - and I am keeping the Skechers - so there is definitely something too tight with the Columbia Ice Maiden boot. Cute, but no go.

I wear a size 10 and ordered a size 10 as that was the largest available. Sadly my toes were squished so I have to return them. Hopefully larger sizes will be available soon!

I'm very happy with the way these pull on and off. They are very light weight, but are pretty warm. They look just like the picture. I gave them 4 out of 5 stars because, although they are nice, they are not super luxurious.

Stylish and comfortable. Slips on easily. Is a little loose around the calf but that should keep my feet from overheating while wearing these inside. They will likely let snow in if it is really piled up out. These will get me to and from work and classes just wonderfully. Size was true!

I love this boot. It looks stylish and functions wonderfully in bad weather. Nice and warm! My only complaint is that there is no pull on the back of be boot to pull it on. When you have layers like socks and pants being tucked into the boot, it's sometimes hard to slip on.

They look great but in order for these to be slide on boots there is a huge gap for snow to slide into. Might work for someone who does not have to shovel or who will not be playing with kids outside.
