Customer Reviews Columbia Minx Mid III

I read to order up a size and did so. Size 10 feels good for my daughter and me. She usually wears 8.5-9 wide or 9-9.5 medium; I wear 8 W-WW in open toed or shoes with an exceptionally roomy toe box & 8.5 W or 8.5-9 M with a fairly roomy toe box. I didn’t think they’d work for me at all based on other reviews about them running narrow and small in the toebox. My forefoot is wide, arches are high, and big toes stick upwards. But with 1 -1.5 sizes above what I’d usually order, they work for me with medium socks. For my daughter with wide forefeet, tall arches, and long toes, they feel .5-1 size smaller than marked. They’re comfy for both of us. My foot feels secure in them even though I have to get longer shoes to accommodate my foot issues - I think from the shape of the heel and sole and being able to tighten the laces. Now that I often have swollen ankles and feet, it’s nice to have them unlace so far down. They’re very lightweight and surprisingly easy to get on & off, tighten, & loosen. The fake fur lining stops where the fur on the outside of the boots stops, but it’s good for keeping wind away from your leg. Note that the tongues are gusseted only a little over 1/3 of the way up - where the fur stops, so if you step in a tall enough puddle or get lots of snow stuck in the fur which then melts - when the temperatures are right around freezing or when coming indoors - your socks will get wet. They meet my 16 year old fashionista’s stamp of approval - one of few snow boots she’d even consider trying on! They’re even more stylish / modern in person. Definitely don’t look like “old lady” boots! They have little ankle support and seem to make my foot tilt slightly inwards, and the sole seems narrow, so they don’t feel super stable to me. I have loose joints, prone to spraining my ankle, so I feel it might happen easily in these. All in all, much better than most very warm waterproof boots, especially for under $100!

Shoe fits one size too small. Usual size is 9. Bought a 10 and it’s still too tight. Tight on the top of your foot and runs narrow.

These are very pretty boots but run a full size small and narrow with no arch support. They feel more like moccasins on my feet. But that's okay because I purchased them for their looks and not really for practicality or heavy snow duty. I should have paid more attention to customer reviews regarding size as I could have saved myself the inconvenience of returning size 9 and size 9.5 and eventuality ending up with size 10.

I usually wear an 8 or 8.5. I’m glad I got these in a 9. I’ll be able to keep wearing normal/thicker socks that I wear most of the winter with these and still allow my feet to be comfortable and slip out of the boots pretty easily. The boot is nice and light weight but feels warm. The faux fur is super soft and cozy. I loveeee that they come in purple. The foot bed feels narrower than most but that’s not a huge problem for me. I’m happy with them and keepin em!

The sizing that I don't like in this boot is the shallowness over the forefoot. There is little cushioning as well in these boots.

I have a high arch and found the boot to constricting on the top of my foot. Not comfortable enough to keep. I'm returning them.

Bought these for my daughter. She love that you can get the laces set just right so that they just pull on. We had this same style for her last year and they were warm and yet light and easy to wear so we got them again. Daughter is a size 8 and I got her 9s in these, and luckily she has a narrow foot because these are very, VERY narrow across the forefoot. I am a 7.5 with a wide-ish foot so these 9s should have been sloppy on me (I routinely buy 8s with no issue) and they were tight on me even barefoot.
