These feel like comfortable light support sneakers.
They fit very “glovelike” and run small. I actually wear the same size in these as I do my running sneakers. Typically I’m up a size and a half for sneakers.
They are incredibly warm, feel secure on my foot with no slipping. They are also positively adorable.

I haven't walked a lot in these boots yet, but they feel comfortable and I think they should be warm. Due to reading through the reviews, I sized up a whole size. I consistently wear a 7 1/2 or 37 to 38 in Euro sizes and in this boot an 8 1/2 was not a mistake.

These boots are warm and comfortable but had to return 7.5 and order a half size up to an 8. Feels like you're wearing sneakers!

Loved the look and feel of these boots, but they were too small. I normally wear an 8 and the 8 was very snug. My toe was rubbing on the front of the boot. I recommend going up a half size.

I had read all of the reviews and expected these to run small so I ordered a half size up. I am normally an 8.5 and ordered a 9. I could barely get my foot in the boot. Once I did it was clear they would not be comfortable so sadly I had to send them back. I am considering ordering a whole size up to 9.5, mainly because they are indeed so cute. They look very well constructed and are very lightweight. The faux fur is soft. Even the removable insoles are substantial - I've never seen such thick insoles! So I think if you're looking for support these will provide much more than the average brand. But seriously - order a size up. I'm surprised that anyone says they are true to size! ORDER UP! :)

I am usually a 10 and ordered a 10 and they were WAY too small. My toe was jammed up in the front like it was a size 9. I would recommend ordering at least a 1/2 size up. Returning and ordering a different style of Columbia boot that is comparable. Hoping they will be the ones!

Shoe was much smaller than I anticipated. I even ordered a half size larger and it was still too small. Love the shoe, but now it is out of stock and I cannot size up.

I ordered a half size up based on other reviews, and it was still too small even with a thin sock. The arch support was minimal. They are lightweight, which is a plus, and I liked the look of the boot. But no arch support was a deal-breaker for me personally.

Look pretty decent for a snow boot. They run short, so unfortunately, I must re-order. I'd give them 5 plus stars if the very soft fur lined the entire boot!

I'm a true to size 8 1/2 but I order half a size up because of the reviews. I usually always always order half a size up when it comes to boots because I wear thicker socks in the winter. So I think they are perfect. I order a half size up and they fit perfect just with a little wiggle room. I haven't tried them out in Chicago's harsh weather but they seem perfect. I bought them because I liked the contrast of white and blue. The picture shows the fur being white, but once you get them the fur is more of blue color. Cute boots.

On the plus side, I like: a) the look and feel of the fabric (soft, flexible, warm); b) snug fit from laces; warmth and protection from shaft height; c) grippy traction (only worn on hardwood floors indoors, but can feel their stability); and d) they're quite cute. Based on other reviews, I ordered a 6 (my regular size) and 6.5. Both fit, but the 6.5 would be better with heavy socks.
Less good in my opinion: the footbed is a little harder than I'd like.
Determining factor for me: unfortunately, I have to return these and the other styles of Columbia boots I ordered, all for the same reason: my heels slip, even in the size 6 (a smaller size would be too small in the forefoot.) The combination of relatively hard footbeds and the angle that the heels sit in all the Columbia boots causes my heels to slip, potentially leading to blisters. I'm disappointed because other than the heel slip, I really like these boots. (Note: I've had this problem with other boots of different brands in the past. In case you share this problem: the footbed and heel construction of very similar boots made by Sorel fit me better - no heels slipping.)

But they are way too narrow. Loved the way they looked and the quality, just didn't fit me.

Ordered a half size up from usual size but actually needed a full size bigger. Other than that they are cozy and cute!

These are so comfortable. I didn't even realize how heavy my old ULU boots were until I started wearing these. They are very warm, though I did layer them with woolen socks for snow play. I walk daily throughout our bitter, long Midwest winters and I can honestly say that these improved Winter 2017 and are ready again for this year. I use them for sledding, walking, snow play, shoveling snow, rainy days too. I think they got a little wet, but only rarely. I was very skeptical, but researched a lot in order to replace my trusty ULU boots and these did not disappoint at all.

I wrote one review of different size - actually had to size up by 1.5 sizes!! The grey color is great, and I like the look. They are warm. For someone with bunions and bone spurs, these seem to work without irritating anything.
On the downside, there isn't a lot of ankle support, so the stability might be less than optimal.

Usually I’m a 7/7.5; based on reviews I ordered 8. They just fit. Really cute and the grey is nice. Hoping they’ll be toasty in colder months.

This boots are really cute, but I ended up keeping the Minx Mid III. The Minx comes up a couple inches higher than these which I need for the deep snow. These are a little lighter, but the Minx is also light and fit truer to size for me. However, these are just a pinch cuter!

These are very nice boots but you'll need at least a whole size larger than your usual.

I had to send my first pair back because they were too small even though it was my usual boot size! I went up 1 whole size and they just fit! Luckily they are very warm because I can't wear heavy socks with them!

I like these boots but after a few 2-4 mile snowy walks I ended up with blisters on my heels. I was wearing thick, wool socks and the boots fit well. There is just something about the shaft/heel area that gives me blisters. Bummer!

Women's Heavenly Omni-Heat Lace Up Boot - Quarry, Dove
The greyish color is easy to match with different outfits. They are soft and comfortable and waterproof (but not water-resistant if it is really a snowstorm).
Overall, they are practical, comfortable, and cute-looking - beautiful inside and out!
Suggestion: Buy at least a 1/2 size larger than your normal shoe size to accommodate orthotic insoles and thicker socks. It's also not hard to clean them, simply use damp cloth to wipe off the dirt.

These boots are like wearing slippers! So comfortable. I normally wear a 9 but when I buy boots I always buy a 10 cause I wear thicker socks. These are a perfect fit with my smart wool socks.
The only reason I gave it four instead of five stars is the tread. I feel like it will wear out in no time and you slip easily on ice. My other boots tread did not do that, but they did leak after a year.
I purchased these on a recommendation from a co-worker. Best advise ever!

These boots seem good in 10 to 20 but got cold when it was below 0. They are comfortable and cute. I orders a half size up and they were good.
