This boot did run a size smaller but in addition the toe width is not very generous with the style of this boot. I tried a couple different sizes to
overcome the toe width but did not make any difference for me. Very cute boot and would have loved to keep them but not working.

I really wanted to like these boots. I've been looking for some light weight higher winter boots for a while. These are cute, but too tight on the top of the foot. If you do not have high instep they might work for you. I got the 10, my regular size, and they were too tight. I then ordered the 10 1/2 which was still uncomfortably tight on the top of the foot.

Cute and warm, but they were tight. Length felt just about true to size maybe a tiny bit small, but width was narrow. I also felt very tight on the top of my foot - this was what made them more uncomfortable.

I was so dissapointed to order these this season and go up a full size and they were still WAAYY to narrow. The shortie version of these run small but a full size up for me did they trick. Its frustrating having the sizing vary so greatly. I wear a 7 in one type of boat shoe, a 7.5 in another version of the boat shoe, I used to wear a 7.5 in these and now the 8's are too narrow. Size up for sure, the quality of the boot is fantastic but the sizing could use some real improvement. I do not have wide feet, In fact my foot has room to roll around in most tennis shoes bc my feet are so narrow. Unfortunatley the are not narrow enough for these boots :(

The reviewers who say this model runs small are right on the money- for my feet (wide toe box, narrow heel), a full size too small. Normally I would get a 9 in boots like this to make room for a light wool sock- here, the 9 was too small without any sock at all! For the record, I am reliably a 8.5 in Keens, a 9 in HokaOneOne, and a 9.5 in Merrell hiking shoes (which also tend to run narrow in my experience). I MAY try ordering a 10 in these as they are otherwise extremely comfortable, like wearing sneakers.

I got these for new boots, beacuse I've always had good luck with the brand. I ordered the same size that I usually purchase, but I'll be sending the boots back. I can get my feet into the boots, but I would never be able to wear a heavy pair of socks or any winter socks inside the boots. They were extremely tight and simply way too small.

I have an older pair of Columbia boots that I love and they no longer make. Very similar to these. I purchased these because they are taller for those times when a lot of snow falls at once. The sizing of Columbia footwear across the board has gotten weird. It's often an entire size too small in length. I ordered a size up and they're a bit too loose around the foot but otherwise seemed fine. They've been warm and the traction is good. They are not waterproof as advertised however, which is half the point of winter boots. Twice now I've ended up with soaked cold feet from walking in slush. Definitely not worth the price I paid.

I bought this boot and the Chimera. I loved the look of this boot and it's soft and comfy at the top where the faux fur is located. I ended up going with the Chimera because I could adjust the fit better around my foot. With this boot, the laces don't go as low and it has a slimmer, more rigid fit. Size up a whole size because it runs small.

There seems to be an issue with the seaming on the toe of the boot that lets a tiny amount of water in. Not enough of an issue to send them back, but be aware if you are thinking of buying. Otherwise they are amazingly warm even with just regular socks, and extremely comfortable to wear for long periods of time.

My daughter is usually a size 8 to 8.5, so I ordered 8.5, and they were too small. Be aware when ordering. She liked the boot, and we will try a 9.

I really wanted to love these boots but I had to send them back. I bought up a half size as was recommended in other reviews. Length-wise they were fine, but width-wise they felt extremely tight. I do have a high arch, so that was likely part of the problem, but the cut across the base of the toes (where the toes meet the foot) was extremely tight for me and did not show any signs of giving. They were very light, as previous reviewers have mentioned, and attractive boots but the discomfort meant that they had to go back. Too bad!

The boot itself is sleek and well-built. I read many reviews that stated they run small and suggested I order a size up. I did and they are still too small. I don't wear thin socks but I don't wear thick wool socks either, even 1 size larger couldn't accommodate the socks that I choose to wear in the winter. I am returning them and purchasing another larger size up, this boot seems really nice, just wish it fit better.

I purchased this boot among others with the Omni heat and Really liked the style and look!
What I didn't know is all these boots run small so size 6.5 is really a size 7 this happened on several of their boots and there didn't seem enough foot support for me!
I wish is was as I would have kept the boots!

Took my chances despite reviews of them being super narrow and running small. Typically wear a 10 and ordered an 11. I don't have super wide feet but they were tight and hurt my feet when I wear them. But seem warm and well made.

I was sad to know that the 12 doesn't fit as I thought it would. I feel like they should have shoe sizes running up to at least a 14 in women. I already have a hard time adjusting into my shoes & now my toes hurts everyday Because I just want to wear the shoes.

Found the toe box to be too small/snug (top to bottom) with medium thickness socks and ordering up 1/2 size over my regular shoes. Arch support was barely moderate for someone with medium high arches.
Otherwise could be cute and comfy. Also, be sure that you realize this is not a full height boot.

These are super cute and I love my Columbia Omni Heat coats so I wanted to try them. Just got them and the problem with sizing is the inserts. They take up a lot of room. Following what someone else had said I tried them on, way to tight. I then took out the inserts and they feel about a half a size to big. I am going to replace the inserts they came with something thinner and hope that helps with the size. Will update after altering.

Had to order this boot three different times. Runs small. After returning twice finally went into the store to try on and find the right size. Now that I found the right size (a whole size larger than what I normally wear) I love them so far.

I ordered these in a 10, my usual size and they are very tight. I am going to try a 10.5 instead. They also run fairly narrow for a snow boot, especially when compared with North Face or Lands End snow boots. They were very warm and overall, I really liked the look and functionality of them. Hoping the 10.5 fits better for my foot. If you plan on doing alot of walking in these or wearing thick socks, definitely order at least a half size larger than what you typically wear.

Had this return product as they're made nearly a full size to small. I purchased them both for myself and my daughter a half size bigger than our normal size after reading other reviews and that they were small for size. I returned hers but decided to keep mine and try to stretch them out. I naturally have been narrow feet so that's not the issue.

I bought these last year on sale and didn't get to experience a full winter with them. Fast forward to now and they're definitely not waterproof. My toes keep getting wet and my feet are not staying warm when I walk through snow. I walk my dog a lot in snow and cold as she loves this weather, and these shoes unfortunately are not doing me well. They are however very comfortable, so no complaints there.
