These are very comfortable and warm. I ordered a half a size up, as they do run small. I like that they are pull on boots but have laces to make tighter if I want. I definitely recommend.

I received these boots in the wrong color, but the boots themselves are very nice. I've walked in some deep puddles and snow and my feet are dry. They are a little tight on me, though.

they do not run that small, I ordered a 9 & they are too big, but I live in Chicago & can't take extra time for the exchange or return process because its very cold, I have 2 babies & my feet got wider & chunkier, if you go up in size only do a half a size if you are planning on using extra thick socks, otherwise just go with your normal size

Only reason I bumped off a start was because of the sizing. I'm a pretty true 7.5, but sometimes will take an 8 in a running shoe or boot. Reading the other reviews, I sized up 1 full size to 8.5 and it fit perfectly. So I would suggest going one size about your regular (especially with thick socks). But the shoe is very warm and comfortable in 0 degree Chicago windchills! And waterproof which is great!

These are by far my favorite boots for long winter walks. They are comfortable, keep my feet & legs warm and are very easy walking boots. But I bought them in the fall of 2018 and by spring 2021 they were no longer waterproof. I can't find any rips or tears but I can't walk through a puddle any more. While I am disappointed in their longevity, I did just order a second pair hoping for better results.

These snow boots are great! Very comfy and easy slip on and slip off boots. Definitely recommend wearing a thicker socks with these boots, preferably wool cause your toes can still get a little cold. Although I was a little upset I had to return them because they were smaller than expected. I am a 6 and I ordered 6.5 it was so snug, my little toes couldn't breath. I wanted to exchange them but they don't do exchanges (they said return and reorder) and did not have size 7 available. I just ended up buying the same boots a size bigger elsewhere.

I wore the boots once. They really have Omni heat and in NYC winter kept my feet warm. Though the width was good they were not comfortable on the bottom of my feet. I returned them

I bought these boots for a planned trip to Fairbanks in February. They are super comfortable, and warm. The only problem I have is they run very small. I sized up so I could wear thick socks. Today I got my thick socks and there's no way I can put my foot in the boot with the thick wool socks. I will either have to get another pair of boots or wear thinner socks. Disappointed in the sizing but the boot itself is awesome.

I just purchased this boot. It does run small. I usually wear an 8, however, I had to purchase a 9.
It's a sharp boot and I had to have them.

Super cute boots. Go one half size up as a little tight. Feet stayed dry in snow and wet but we're still a little cold once it got to about 15 degrees.

I need a boot that conforms to my foot for walks in the snow so that my foot is not sloshing around. My orthotics fit nice, but the boot is a little snug for my bunion. But, since it is soft material on top without any seams, I think they are gonna work !! I ordered 1/2 size up from normal sizing. My foot measures 7, get all shoes in 7.5, but walking/hiking shoes/boots 8. PURCHASED THESE BOOTS IN 8.5 I know they are gonna be warm because I have short version Columbia boot with Omni heat.

I love these boots and have bought three pairs over the past 6 or 7 years. I wear them everyday during the winter. I have narrow feet and these fit beautifullybut without the insoles. The insoles that come with the boots hurt my feet and back. So every time I buy a pair, I take the insoles out and pop in some inexpensive therapeutic insoles. That does the trick. With the new insoles, these boots are perfect! Very stylish, warm, and comfortable.

Love the boots, so comfortable, do size up I did, and of course you'll have to play around with the laces but they're so worth it

These are my second pair of Columbia winter boots as my old ones aren't waterproof anymore, and here in NYC we have to wade through 3 feet of slush puddles on every street corner after a storm. Based on other reviews, I bought a full size larger, and even then they're a little snug around the toes, but hoping they will stretch out a bit. They're a little flat so and don't have great arch support, so aren't (IMO) comfortable for long walks. I haven't had a chance to test the water proofing yet but so far seem pretty good.

Great fitting boot for narrow feet. I typically wear a 9 narrow. I ordered a 9.5 and a 10 and the 10 were tight in the foot bed! I couldn't imagine ordering even larger so I played around with the footbed insert. If I took it out my foot was swimming around. It's at least 0.5-0.75" thick which was aiding to the tightness around the foot. I took the insole out and switched it with a Dr sholes and it was perfect. I'm sure this may not leave the boot as "warm" in the toe area since there's less insole under my foot but the fit was perfect. I wore these in wet, slushy snow for 2 hours and my feet stayed warm and dry. Love the boot!

These boots look great and are very comfortable. My only issue with them is that I am very active and they are almost too warm! Perfect for being less active and maybe when we get negative temps they won't be too warm. But hey, if that's my only complaint that's pretty good!

I gave the Minx Mid III a four only because the left boot feels a little off, like my foot is not fitting in it completely.
They are very comfortable and kept my feet warm and dry. I wore them all day at work in the office.
I wear 9 1/2, but it is so hard to find shoes manufactured in this size so I ordered the 10.
I wore no show socks and my feet were fine.

I own 4 pairs of the Columbia snow boots. I love them. They keep my feet warm and are really comfortable. When I first started buying them, they were spot on in the sizing department. I am a 7 1/2 to 8 in women's shoes and boots. I had to buy a 9 to get these to fit. They have also become more narrow. It still works for me but I could see these being too narrow for a slightly wide foot. I really feel like Columbia is not listening to the reviews. This actually costs them time and money dealing with returns. It is a little frustrating. That is the reason they get 4 stars instead of 5! The other things Columbia could do to their boot is give it a little more of a sole and arch support so that it doesn't feel as much like a flat boot. I still love them though!

Just got these in!!! Love the look and yes sizing up if you buy. If you are going to wear thick ski socks I suggest sizing up 1 1/2 - 2 sizes. I normally wear a size 7 so I ordered an 8 and with thick socks they are very tight and with normal socks they fit fine. Haven't been outside long to see if they are warm and hoping they will stretch out some for thicker socks.

These boots are a nice color and warm. Definitely size up, they are tight around the forefoot but are light weight.

After reading other reviews, I decided to go a full size up and boy am I glad that I did. These are so comfortable with thin and thick socks! Nice and light for moderate use.. I honestly wouldn't recommend them for strenuous outdoor winter activities. But these are holding up fabulously for walks around the neighborhood and daily winter to and fro wear.

Thankfully I read the reviews and ordered a size up. Other than that these are great boots! I like the height, and cushioned footbed!
