Customer Reviews Columbia Minx Mid III

The most comfortable winter boot I've ever worn. I could probably go for a trail run in these boots! They are supportive and feel more like a tennis shoe than a boot. They are warm, but also hold in the heat of your foot so they can get a little damp with sweat. My feet stay warm though, mostly, but have gotten a little cold while wearing these only when walking directly on snow when it's less than 15 degrees F outside. These do not do well in mud or wet slush, despite the claim that they're waterproof. I'd say they are waterproof for half of a season if worn consistently, then the waterproofness wears out and water will soak into the boot. For muddy and slushy conditions, I'll usually choose to wear my Sorels because they are completely waterproof--but they aren't as cute as these! I love that I can pull the boot on and off without unlacing, but I have the option to tighten the laces for a secure fit. Usually, I just slip 'em on and go, though. The image is of the boots after a full season of wearing them.

toes kind of slope upwards, not comfortable for me. The shaft of the boot is stiffer than I expected making the lace area not as good at adjusting as I had hoped.

Had to order an entire size up and it is definitely for a very narrow foot. anything other than that, this tight of a fit will lead to cold feet which defeats the purpose of a snow boot. sadly, we loved the style but practicality of it just doesn't meet expectations.

I want to love these boots, but unfortunately I do not believe they are waterproof. They just arrived yesterday and I tested them in the snow, after just a few minutes they felt damp at the toe area of the boot. They are cute and comfortable, very lightweight. The traction is great. I am usually and 8.5 and 9.5 fit with room, so definitely order half to whole size bigger. If these boots were truly waterproof then I would be keeping them! Zappos is a wonderful company to deal with and the shipping was incredibly fast!

I was shipped the wrong shoes. I ordered a women’s 10.6 Columbia minx mid III boot and received a totally different brand toddler size boot. As soon as I opened the box, I contacted Zappos. Unfortunately, they were sold out of the boot at that point, so I cannot give a review on THIS boot.

They were not what I expected. Was looking for a “play in the snow” boot, these weee more like a boot I’d wear in bad weather running errands and you’d look cute. I returned them, needed something more sturdy for play.

I was overall not impressed. I think they are way to low for a boot you would use to walk in the snow. The soul was very think. I cannot imagine they would keep me war,

These are cute, width is ok! Definitely a size short! I personally do not like the way they lace up, no arch support! My flat foot slides forward! Am returning! Need ranch boots, not fancy city boots!!!

The heel on one foot sat very strangely on my foot. I'm hoping it was just a mistake with this one pair, but I would never wear them as is. Super cute though. The sole is thinner than traditional winter/rain boots which felt great to me. I didn't feel like I was "clomping" around.

I returned these boots. I wear a 7.5, ordered an 8, however they were very tight still! They seemed awkward and hard to get on and off.

If you want lightweight boots, get these in a half-to-full size larger. I am returning them because they were too small and I need more arch support.

These aren't waterproof anymore. I normally have very cold toes, but these are very warm and comfortable, I can bike and walk long distances in them in downtown and neighborhoods in Chicago. I can also comfortably wear them indoors all day, so they're not too hot. I've bought these same boots for years, accepting that they need to be replaced every two years due to the waterproofing wearing out. This latest time, I stepped in a puddle and discovered they were no longer waterproof, after less than a year. Luckily I bought with zappos - awesome return policy! Now I'm trying to find another style /brand that I can trust.
