I ordered these boots on-line and they were delivered on time and fit well. I have a wide foot and these are a great fit.

Boot fits snug and comfortably. My only complaint with the design is that some time the tongue can fold up and jab into your shin.

13 wide fits fine for me. Other reviews state it doesnt which leads me to believe they got the wrong size. I wear a 13 wide in other brands and this size seems about right. They seem lighter than previous columbia boots and warmer as well. They could be a bit easier to snug up the laces.

Great boots! Have bought pairs for myself and my son... warm, fit well, waterproof. Great for snowy New England winters.

The boots leak a bit and sizing is off. I wear 10-1/2 wide and i ended up with 13

Second pair in 5 years, so I like the boot well enough BUT very frustrated with sizing. Last pair was a 12 and they only fit with the foot liner removed so I bumped up to a 13 wide this time. They are still too small! Again, I'll have to remove the foot liner to wear them with warm socks. I would return them but it's more trouble and expense.

Had a pair of Bugaboot II's that finally wore out after about 5 years. They were regular width size 11 and fit great. To get the same fit in these I had to get a wide 11.5, so they seem to run a little smaller with the update. Not really a negative, just something to be aware of. They also got rid of the speed hooks, which on a boot this tall is baffling. That being said I still like the boots. They're supportive, lightweight, and I've found them to be ideal for winter hiking and snowshoeing. If these hold up as well/ are as waterproof as the last models they are good to go!

Although I bought my pair toward the end of winter 2022 - 2023 (when the lowest temperature has been -10 Celsius), I am so far very impressed with their value for money quality. Accurately measure your foot, and then purchase the next 0.5 size up, to allow space for thicker winter socks.

Great warm booths. Water and snow proof. Temperature was just right. I used them all day. The only thing is that they are a little hard at the sides of the calf the first time. I tend to have sensitive feet and always get blisters when buying new shoes, but this was not the case which is great.

Comfortable boot kept my feet warm on a short 3mile test hike on a 20-25 degree day.

The boot or atleast the pair I ordered fit really tight even though I ordered a size up and the wide wasn't wide. I'm a 10 so I ordered an 11 W.

This boot is pretty substantial in its physical appearance. This doesn't really come across in the stock website photos. That, coupled with 200g thinsulate lining should make for a super toasty boot or so you'd think. Personally I am not really impressed with the "warmth" that these provide over an extended period in colder temperatures.
I first used these during the Buffalo Blizzard of 22'. At which point I was out shoveling and snow blowing for 30-45 minutes at a time before having to come in to warm my hands (and to a lesser degree my feet). But I was really surprised that my feet started to get cold when out for such a short time. Granted the temps were in the teens.
I also found that with the large size of this boot makes driving my 4Runner dangerous because the boot rested on both the gas and break pedals. So I will not ever recommend driving in them if you have large feet (14).
On the plus side the boots are super comfy, very well made and the grippy sole saved me a number of times while tending to the snow which made the boots worth the purchase.

Great boots for the price. I love the fact that they make these in wide. They are not as warm as I thought they would be, but they are not bad either. I'd say for 20-30 degree weather, they work great. Once you get to the teens or before, the cold will get through.

Bought these boots for varied winter use, everything from gives in snow to playing with the kids. They just work, no fuzz about them. Smaller in size, I take 11.5-12 depending on brand and fit and these work well in a 13.

The boots are well constructed and are solid. They have a good, comfortable feel to them. The sole is rugged and solid. There is enough warmth for cold temps but they aren't too warm for every day use. The fit is higher on the calf and I didn't like that so I returned them for that reason. I planned on using them for winter hikes and decided I wanted a lower boot.

Very durable 3-season boot. The 200 grams of insulation becomes uncomfortable in the dog days of summer. I work in wet conditions 12 hours a day and these hold up better than any other I have tried

This is a solidly built boot with excellent ankle and foot support as well as excellent waterproofing. The lacing system is great and together with the construction, imparts a very secure feeling in uncertain terrain. Deep snow traction is excellent, packed snow - middling - this doesn't have enough bite to feel very confident or maintain pace. Ice even less so, though most boots without studs aren't really meant for ice anyways.
Cushioning is very good, not plush, but not too firm either. It's usable for long hikes even with my 240 pounds. I was very warm in 15F degree weather and feel confident this would take me down to subzero temps - in fact, I didn't even need my usual merino wool socks with this boot.
In terms of fit, the wide worked very well for me, but the shoe tends to run at least a half size long for its stated size. I wish I had gone a half size down before using this.
