These are so warm and fit so great. They are snug in the ankle so they don't slip off, but they don't rub like other snow boots I have owned. Love these.

I purchased these boots to walk for up to 8-10 hours a day for 5 consecutive days in temperatures that ranged from single digits to the upper 20's. Warmth was my highest priority as my extremities get cold easily and stopping due to cold feet was not really an option. These were amazing. I also bought some heavy duty socks from REI to wear with them but never used them. I wore just a pair of knee highs (heavier than nylon but certainly not made for warmth) and I never ever thought about my feet - they were so comfortable and toasty that it was not until days end when I took them off I realized how warm and comfortable they had been. They are also very cute. I wear 6½ to 7 in shoes - I initially ordered both sizes and decided to go with the 7. As another review noted, they are a bit stiff on the sides (which is a benefit to maintaining the warmth) but means you will not just slip into them without pulling them on. I would highly recommend them for anyone who needs to be tromping around in cold conditions.

I absolutely LOVE these boots. Great Columbia product.
I got to test these in the recent blizzard and they held up incredibly well. My feet stayed dry and toasty, without having to wear thick/winter socks. I felt no wind, or wetness (except when I stepped in a large snow pile and got some inside - but they dried overnight). I was thinking getting the outer material wet was going to stain them (they look like suede), but I was wrong. They've held up beautifully.
Even without the snow, the boots are great everyday wear boots when walking outside. The insides are soft and comfortable. I change them when I get to work since my feet get a lil' sweaty.
They run small, so go a half size up when you order. I neglected to read the reviews before buying, and had to wait 2 more months before they were in stock in a larger size.

Just got these the day before it snowed here and put them right on. These fit true to size for me and are warm without being hot and very comfortable. A fantastic boot. I am very happy I purchased these.

I really loved these boots--they are comfortable and warm--unfortunately I have a high arch and the top of the foot is a little too low. I will sadly have to return them. I will order a different pair of columbia boots with laces.

These are wonderful boots! I wanted a pair of excellent-quality winter boots that was easy to get on and off, and these fit the bill. They are also very warm and comfortable. The first time I wore them was for a trip to NYC when it was 28 degrees F. My feet were never too cold, and they really didn't get too hot when walking around in a museum for over an hour. The only thing I don't like is that they look a bit wide and clunky in the foot from the top view. Other than that, these are a great find -- so glad I got them!

Bought this shoe for my 62 year old mum. She loves the boots. It's warm and she feels safe walking in the snow.

These boots were a lifesaver when a blizzard hit where I live and I had to walk to work in the snow. They are very warm and comfortable. My feet were completely dry and toasty warm. Definitely order a half size larger than your normal size to accommodate for thick socks.

I wanted the ease of a slip on with the sturdiness of surviving New England winters. This pair has met both requirements so far. I haven't fallen on the ice and even received compliments on the stylishness. Two thumbs up.

I really like these stylish boots. They fit perfectly with thin socks so I would say they run half a size small. I found it very easy to slip my feet in. I did not even have to use my hands. I would have kept them but they are impractical under pant cuffs and too tight/short for tucking cuffs in.

I love the boots so far. I am a 9.5 and ordered a 9.5 and they fit. They are a little stiff to just "slip on" but once on they are fine. They were a little snug across the top but after wearing them for 2 or so hours, they are starting to stretch out and will be fine. Overall, these are just what I was looking for. Not too clunky to wear to drive to work in the winter but change out of when I get there. Definitely not dressy enough to wear during the work day for me. Nice and warm too! Will be great for running around, errands, etc but not a replacement for my Sorels for playing in the snow.

Two nights ago I walked over a mile in 30 degree weather with snow on the ground. My feet stayed warm and dry. :)

I had a hard time figuring out which boot to buy. I selected this because the lace up version was not available. I really like this boot. It is warm. You can walk in it pretty easily and it is comfortable. It is waterproof (although I haven't tested it yet). Most important is that you must order this a half to full size larger! I am so glad I listened to other reviewers! I have tested both a boot sock and a regular sock. They both work (yay!). There is no slipping of the foot inside. The toe box is a good width for my feet, my toes can move in socks. The boot grips comfortably around the back of the heel. This makes if firm to slip on with heavy socks, but wiggle and it works to put on. It also means it doesn't slip. I am very happy with these boots and I recommend them.

When first wearing the boots, the left boot felt a bit snug when putting it on and around the ankle at first. I wore them around the house for the day and they molded to my feet nicely and became super comfortable. The left boot is still a bit tighter at the ankle when I put it on, but it is not significant. They are very warm and cozy!

Very comfortable, easy on and off, delighted with how they look. I normally wear an 8, ordered 8.5 based on other reviews, and found them a bit roomy. I put arch support insoles under existing insoles and now it's a great fit. Not sure if the 8 would have been snug or perfect. Bought them for a trip to the snowy Sierra's, but I'm loving wearing them around town during cool and rainy Bay Area weather!

I absolutely love these boots! I use them for an everyday winter boot, and I find them especially useful in the snow! I usually wear a size 9 shoe, but as advised, I went ahead and ordered a half size bigger. I found the 9.5 size to be the perfect fit!

I love these boots. They are stylish, so comfortable and waterproof. I did not expect to like them so much when they came. I am usually a Merrell buyer, but these are fabulous. I am definitely keeping them and wearing them all winter in Mississippi. I am 68 years old, 5'4".

I love the warm cozy feel of these boots. I did have to go up another 1/2 size, though, in order to be able to wear them with socks.

I chose this boot because of the affordable price, good reviews, and removable insoles. So far I have not been disappointed. The boots are waterproof, have good traction, and keep my feet toasty. They are a lot cuter than I expected, too. I need extreme arch support so I immediately pulled out the insoles and put in my green Superfeet, which work great in this shoe. Other reviews note that the ankle area is stiff and can be difficult to get your foot into. It is definitely stiff, for me it's a plus because it provides more support in the ankle. I have no trouble getting my foot in and out but my sister was not even able to try them on because of the stiff ankle. If you have very wide feet I would not recommend this shoe. Also, order up a size. My typical shoe size is a 9.5, I got a 10 in this shoe and it's a snug but comfortable fit. I can wear a thicker wool sock with it but it's definitely snug.

Love these boots. we get a lot of snow -- these boots are sturdy enough to handle it plus they look nice. I find them to be exactly the fit I was expecting -- so I'd say true to size and kudos to Zappos for excellent service - both ordering and returning.

These are comfortable and easy to slip on. I usually wear a 7½W so I ordered 8M. Good fit and room for thick socks if I want more warmth. I am waiting for bad weather to wear them daily outside.

I found the shoes about a week before my Iceland trip and had no time to break in. I was only managed to wear them only once before the trip. At the beginning I felt they were a little tight closed to the ankle but then they were ok after a couple of days. I followed some people's advise and bought a larger size. My feet are slim and my size is 7. I bought a pair of 7 1/2 and wore just casual socks. The temperature in Iceland was about -2 C and snowy. My feet were very comfortable and dry and warm during the whole trip. They are very good quality pair of shoes and I am very happy with the purchase.

Just received these boots and my feet are warmer already!! Needed a boot to brave the ME winter after relocating from CA. After the "Blizzard of 2015" I decided I needed an upgrade from my current boots. Right out of the box they are a perfect fit! I am a 10 and ordered a 10.5 to provide room for thicker boot socks. It is like wearing a pair of slippers. Took a walk outside in 9 degree weather and my feet stayed warm! I especially appreciate the price!! But best of all I love Zappos! Ordered them yesterday afternoon and they were at my door by mid morning today! Kudos! I have bought exclusively from you guys for years and never written a review! You are an awesome company!
