My last Columbia boots were super comfortable and long lasting but I still looked around quite a bit just to be sure I wanted to stay with Columbia. One salesman told me I was looking for "comfort like sneakers," and "you won't find those in a boot." But I went to the Columbia NYC store in hopes he was wrong, and found these. Waterproof, well-cushioned, and cute. The taller ones are similar but I opted for the shorty in the city. Not at all clunky like some competitors, even though I wear a 10. I rarely write reviews but wanted to send this because they're such a good find.

Loved the boot but it was just a little too small so they’re going back.

Bought the color Nori/Daredevil, it is a great green color. Boots are incredibly comfy and super warm. I haven't worn them in snow yet but I have worn them out in frigid weather to walk and they were great. I wear a size 7 1/2 but I needed to size up to the 8 1/2, they run small.

Needed a warm waterproof boot for all day walking this winter and they are very warm, comfy and light. Hasn't rained yet though.

I am so happy with these boots! Out of the box flexible and comfortable. I normally wear a 9 but ordered a 10 and they are perfect. Just enough room for a thick pair of socks. Like wearing super comfortable walking shoes, are toasty warm and good grippy soles on packed snow and ice. Comfort was rate just a tad lower - could use better arch supports. Perfect to slip on for walks and running errands. Great job, Columbia!

I purchased these boots a year ago for a winter trip to Iceland and they have held up very well. Made it all over the snow and glaciers without my feet getting cold or wet. I'm now using them to trudge through the slush and snow in Canada and am happy to say that my feet are, so far, staying dry and warm. The boots do run small, and I had to return my original pair for a set that was a half-size larger than my usual. (Originally ordered 7.5, 8 fit nicely.)

Love them! I typically wear an 8 and ordered a 9 due to the reviews that they run small. The 9 fits great with one pair of good winter wool socks. They literally feel like I'm wearing my slippers out of the house. I'm ordering the tall ones in a different color for Christmas to be from my hubby.

I bought these in both the Shorty and the Mid styles. Ordered the Shorty from Zappos and bought the Mid directly from the Columbia Store. Here are the good points: cute, warm, easy to wear. The sole feels more like a tennis shoe. I like this because I have other winter boots with much more rigid soles and it's nice to change it up with a more "cushie" feel. Shoveled very wet snow this morning and they seem to be nicely water resistant. The blue seems to go well with almost any color leggings or pants. So the negatives: sizing is really inconsistent. Zappos said my size would be 7.5 (I am usually a 7). The 7.5 in the Shorty fits great. But when I tried on the Mid in the Columbia store, I had to size up to an 8. They are very affordable boots, so maybe these inconsistencies just to along with the price point? I am keeping both pair and will enjoy all winter.

These boots are incredibly comfortable and warm. I live in Indiana (very bad, cold winter), and going out in the freezing, snowy weather is such a dreadful thing. These boots are really suitable for trudging through the snow (waterproof) or stepping on slippery ice. It's also very good at keeping your feet warm. All in all totally recommend!

Bought these for my wife and she wears them everyday. She says they are the most comfortable boot she has ever worn. In fact I have to buy them in the other colors (sad face).

I needed a pair of winter boots that could serve as both boots for playing outside / shoveling snow as well as walks outdoor in the cold. These are perfect! They are sleek and not overly bulky, making them easy to walk around in. They have the comfort of a tennis shoe, with the warmth that comes with a boot...and they are waterproof! I typically wear a size 7 athletic shoe, and I purchased a size 7 in this boot. If I wear a thin pair of socks they fit perfect. If you like to wear thick socks or double up on socks, consider sizing up.

Bought these for my daughter who loves being outside in the cold. She loves these boots, warm, comfortable, and not big and clunky. I did follow some reviews and ordered a size up, it was a good decision. Now I'd really like a pair for myself!

We got 8 inches of snow the day I got my boots. Wore them for hours, no wet got in and my feet were toasty warm. I wear size 8 and they were just right with a pair of regular socks. Happy with my purchase!

I haven't had a chance to test out how waterproof these are since it hasn't snowed yet, but I have worn them twice in some frigid weather and can truly say my feet were the warmest part of my body on those days. The insulation/omniheat combo is awesome. Based on other reviews I ordered a size up and they fit great with regular-slightly thicker socks. They also have some great cushioning in the sole. I have already verbally recommended these boots to many people, love them!

Just received these after sending back a pair of Sorel's that weren't quite what I needed. The burgundy color is gorgeous. These are not a high boot, but not an ankle boot either. It's perfect for what I'm looking for. The tread looks like they will be sturdy in the snow and ice. I've only worn these so far inside my house, all day, but they're super comfortable. However, I sized up based on reviews. I'm normally an 8.5 and 9 usually in boots. I decided to order a 9.5 and glad I did.
I'd also recommend:
Sorel, Dansko, Doc Martens

These are so warm and comfortable. They have a very squishy insole. When I first pulled them out I immediately noticed how grippy the soles felt. I won’t be sliding around in these! Go a half size up if you expect to wear thick socks with these. I will have to see how they wear over the long term, but I’m very happy with the look and feel right out of the box. They’re not big and chunky, so you can “feel” the ground.

After reading reviews, I ordered these boots in a 9 when I am usually an 8. The 9 is perfect for me, not loose but not tight. I got the red/wine color and they are BEAUTIFUL. They look stylish but are also really functional. I wear to walk outside in the woods, but also out to lunch because they are so pretty. Look good with leggings and a big comfy sweatshirt. I originally bought to wear for trip to Montreal in winter. I think they will be perfect and can't wait to tramp around the city in them!

I love these boots! I have another pair that comes up higher on the leg so I knew you had to size up. For some reason these boots run 1/2 to 1 size smaller. I usually wear an 11 but in these I wear a 12. They are super warm and very attractive. Love the army green color!

I am always looking for shoes that are comfortable for walking, and it has been a challenge to find a comfortable walking boot that is also warm, and looks good with jeans or leggings. These fit the bill. I am in love with Columbia's Omni Technology, owning 2 jackets and gloves already. I'm so pleased with these boots, wore them for the first snowfall in Chicago on 10/31. Thanks Columbia for always living up to my expectations!

The most comfortable snow boots I've ever worn! I expected them to be a bit narrow but they are just right! And so warm! Got several compliments the first night I wore them out! The only thing that would make them better is if they were taller on the calf, &/or had a zipper up the side so they were easier to get on & off. But overall, I love these boots!!
