Light weight. Good quality. A little snug. I wear shoes that are somewhat narrow so I figured regular would be just fine but I recommend a wide

Lighter, taller, and better looking than my bugaboo 2 boots. Had to go up in size for fit though

Have yet to use in winter conditions. The size I got was a bit snug, and would suggest you opt for a larger size. Construction on the boots are great quality, I expect them to last me a while.

I like the feel of these boots, I've ordered them this spring so time will tell if they provide the warmth needed sitting in a deer stand next fall but based on the feel I believe they will. Be aware, these run really small, I went up 2 sizes to get ones that fit with winter socks on.

These are some basic winter boots that seem to check all of the boxes for an average winter excursion. Be sure to buy a size up from your normal shoe size. These run small. My normal shoe size is 12 but I bought these in size 13 after reading reviews. The 13's fit perfectly.

the product itself is excellent, but you should try them first or try a similar shoe before you order online, the size runs smaller, i am a size 11/11.5 so i order a size 12 and they fit super tight.

Bought these boots for sledding/playing in snow. They do the job well, especially if you wear wool socks. A slight tight on the toes but may go away after they are broke in. Kept my feet warm better than any other boots I have owned, even in -5 while sled riding.

Bring on the cold and deep snow and these boots are ready to take on Winter.
They are warm, waterproof and, based on other Columbia boots I'he had, durable.
The boots only miss out on Excellent as I wish the boots had the usual hook at he top instead of an eye let for the laces. A hook works so much better with gloved hands.

I bought these for both my teen boys. One is special needs and is used to loose fitting boots. He LOVED the traction and warmth the first day snow hiking.

I bought these to replace my Men's Powderhouse Titanium Omni-Heat 3D OutDry Boots I got from Columbia. I work outside and those boots lasted 2 years. These have a nice fit and they are very comfortable but they are far from waterproof. Expect wet feet in about 2 hours if you are walking though the snow.

The boots are really nice, but we have had to send 2 pairs back. My husband wears a 7.5 shoe but they were too small. Oredered an 8 also they are also too small. Not sure why but the return is not giving us the paid taxes back on the returns.

Order snow boot with "wide" is a must to get, when I got this boots and put on, "wide" isn't that much wide and it feel just perfect fit. I don't know about the other boots without "wide" might be tighter fit which aren't good for vessel blood flowing thought feet/legs. But the opening top of the boots where feet/legs goes in, it not flexible enough for walking, it kinda hurt my lower legs because the top opening of the boots doesn't flex while walking. The quality of the boots look strong and durable.

I came back to Columbia for new snow boots after being very happy with my previous techlite omniheat boots that lasted me over 10 years in MN.
Two stars removed for two things: 1. Why did they take away the lace hooks? I saw in the pictures they were no longer there, so I wasn't surprised. But, it was much easier to take this tall boot on and off with the top two rows as lace hooks instead of eyelets. My old Columbia boots had this. Was it cost savings?
2. Speaking of cost savings, assuming this boot and my previous boot occupy the same tier in Columbia's snow boot line (they look very similar, and cost the same), these are more cheaply made. The entire product looks and feels cheaper. The finishing on the edges, the stitching, the lining, the footbeds, everything. Hopefully they last as long and keep their comfort as long as my previous techlite boots but I am not confident they will.

I bought this boot. The boots were very comfortable and warm. I absolutely loved them. first rainy day after 1/2 hour my socks were wet at top. I had rain pants covering the ankle. says waterproof. One boot was wetter than the other the sock.

I bought these last year and hoped they could do better..
Overall they are decent. Your feet can't breathe so you constantly feel like they are not waterproof.
That leads to them being really not that warm.
They do have great traction and support.

I got these shoes mainly for snowboarding, although i wanted to "break them in" before actually going out. The fit was a little snug at first without any thick socks, I got a 9 wide.
Decided to wear after it just snowed for shoveling, i live in Minnesota. it was about 30 degrees out with about 3-5 inches of snow, at first my toes were a little cold but after shoveling for 10-15 mins they were fine.
You have a lot of ankle support with these boots but I'm a little disappointed in the fact the toes get a little cold from time to time if you're not actively moving around.

Ok, but not great. They make my feet sweat and stink. No type of venting.

I was shipped a size 16 when I ordered an 8-1/2. The confirmation said 16 but I apparently didn't catch it and now I am paying shipping to return them. I don't to order anything with a size in the future.

I have purchased two different boots for my husband and they run very narrow. I even had my 14 year old son try them on too and they were uncomfortable. Whose foot print are these based on?

I wear an 11 Women's, but tried a 10.5 Men's in these and they were still too small. Seemed to be good quality, but didn't have a chance to test them in the cold or wet.
