Customer Reviews Columbia Ice Maiden™ II Slip

ABSOLUTELY THE BEST BOOTS EVER! My feet are always, always cold, but never once in these boots. I researched (which I never do) for 3 weeks before making the purchase, so glad I did. I where them every day for work, as I am inside and outside. The real test was the 12 inches of snow we just got, and not once were my feet cold in 10 degree weather shoveling. They are a miracle! I also chose them because they are light weight, I feel I could dance in them.

Simply a great snow boot. I found them easy to slip on and off, just the right size with thick winter socks, and the right height on my calf (I prefer mid calf). Very good quality and waterproof. Much lighter and fitted to my foot than previous snow boots. I'm very happy with this purchase.

Great boots for Chicago weather. 15 degrees out this morning with about 3 inches of snow and my feet were dry and warm. I didn't need too have double socks on. they are not the cutest boots, but I don't care about that when I'm standing on the bus stop at 6am and its cold. they do the job and the price you cant beat.

Wow are these nice! I just received them last night and wore them in the snow today. They are comfortable, easy to put on and warm. I wear a size 8 and got the 8.5. I could probably have gotten the 9.

I received the boots in 2 days and was very pleased with how they looked, but very disappointed that I couldn't get my foot into the boot past the ankle! Ordered half a size larger than I usually wear in a boot, based on other reviews, but doubt that even a full size up would have worked. I have a moderately high arch, but have never had quite this problem with a boot. Maybe if they had a side or front zipper I could have gotten into them. Continuing my search...

I live in one of the snowiest cities in the US. I cannot believe I have not had these before. I'm actually looking forward to more snow. Slide on without a problem. Love the slit on the back so I have room to walk. These fit true to size, and are warm!

I hope they are warm. We have not had any snow since I bought them to know. Tag inside said they are good to -25°F. That is the best that I have found for my needs.

These are easy on and easy off. That is what I was hoping for. I am still waiting for the cold and snow to wear them. I got half a size larger - to accommodate thicker socks.

I ordered these in a 6 (usually a size 5.5) and they are a little narrow. Also the upper is a bit stiff but I expect that will do away with time and use. Overall, a good boot for the price, I'm going to be keeping them.

I went to the Columbia website to determine my shoe size. I normally wear a 6.5 but according to there sizing I measured a 5. I decided to get a 6 and they're perfect. Very comfortable and cute! They are a little snug around the top of of my feet but not uncomfortable. I'm sure that as I wear them they loosen up. Very happy with this purchase.

I am a teacher who wanted something to wear through light parking lot snow, on the playground and at carpool time...but still be comfortable all day in the classroom. This boot is perfect for that! Looks good with jeans or casual pants and comfortable for all day wear. Can't wait for winter now that I have this in my closet!

Perfect size match. I was worried but Columbia is usually very good. Not the most comfortable boot but the point was the handle feet of snow and keep me warm and dry and they do. Can't be beat for the price.

I love this boot! It is true to size with room enough for a warm sock. It is slightly dressier than some boots but not so much that it doesn't look great with jeans or leggings for a more casual look. And it is warm! As much as I love this boot I love even more that Zappos magically got it to me in just 2 days! How do they do that? I was afraid I would have to suffer with cold feet until next week, but they were waiting when I got home tonight!

I love these boots for one reason - it's easy to get them on and off hands-free. I can step right into them with my hands full and my feet go right in without a struggle. They're easy to pull off too. The style is fine - maybe not the fanciest boots I've ever seen, but they have some nice detail at the toe. I think the gray color will hide any road salt that comes my way too. They are fairly cushy feeling on my feet - comfortable for short periods of time, but I suspect my feet may become fatigued after a long walk through the snow. But I'm satisfied with the comfort level overall. That being said - you just can't get good boots these days. All the brands I've looked at only have 200 g insulation, which has never been enough for me (I live in Minnesota). So I fully expect them to not be warm enough and to have to use toe warmers if I'm going to be outside for more than an hour or so. For the fit, Zappos recommended a size 9 for me, and I would agree with that for the other Columbia boots I tried on - but for these the 8.5 fit me better (8.5 is my usual shoe size in most other brands). I have a narrow, low-volume foot, so the toe box on these boots has a little extra space for me (perfect for my toe warmers).

Pretty tough looking boot, somewhat clunky and stiff but they fit pretty well even though I have a size 12 narrow foot. Easy on and off probably because of my narrow foot. I know other reviewers had difficulty getting them on. I'll wear them for shoveling snow and walking the dog.

VERY COMFORTABLE. EASY SLIP ON AND OFF. THEY DONT SEEM LIKE THE WARMEST OF WINTER BOOTS. AND I AM WONDERING IF THE TRACTION IS AS GOOD ASOME OTHER TYPES OF WINTER SNOW BOOTS. JURY IS STILL OUT ON THESE.

I am 5'11 and typically wear a woman's US 11 in most shoes (sandals, flats), but will sometimes need to size up to a US 12 in boots (casual, dress, snow) and a men's 9.5/10 in sneakers. I purchased these in a woman's US 12 in black/shale. I would have kept these, were it not for: 1 the boots fitting loose around my shins (even with thicker socks) 2 the part of the shoe that sits on the ankle being stiff. (I don't know if this would have stretched with wear, but I also didn't want to wait to see. The stiffness made the boots feel heavy/uncomfortable.)
