I'm from Southern California and went to New York in December. These shoes were perfect. My toes were always warm and I walked everywhere in them. My feet hurt by the end of day but I was also walking a lot more than usual so it could have been me not the shoe. Super comfortable and warm. It DOES run small. Half size up it'll be perfect, almost too perfect. A full size up is the perfect size. I'm normally a 7.5, I went with an 8 because i have never been an 8.5 and wish I got the 8.5.

My wife said it is slippery.I would have given it 5 if it was less slippery. If you don't have slippery ice, that would be really good choice.

I may live in Florida, however, I travel a bit at all times and seasons. I needed a comfortable boot that would be versatile in cooler/colder weather to wear for hikes or running errands (aka shopping!). This pair of boots, in black, hits the spot. They do run quite large. I'm usually a size 8, on the rare occasion an 8 1/2, and needed a size 9. The height is also good for any occasion. I hope you enjoy this boot as much as I do! Cheers!

I usually wear size 6.5 but I ordered size 7 to put on thick socks for the winter... The problem is the boots run really small. I should have bought a 7.5. I feel it actually is smaller than 6.5 even though it is "7". If you consider buying this, you should upsize at least 1, not half
Except size, I love this one, protecting my foot from heavy snow and keep my foot warm!

This boot is comfortable and functional but have little arch support. Only other issue is that the say breathable, but if you do not wear the correct socks my feet sweat horribly. But overall they are a good all day option for versatile snow boot.

I generally wear 7.5-8 and purchased these in an 8 and they were very tight and I had thin socks on. I'm going to return and order half a size larger.

Loved the red on these boots but went up a half size and the toe box was super tight and think going up to size 9 would make the heel slide.

I purchased these boots in Nori/Daredevil color and it is a beautiful olive green. Love the laces! It does run small as I read from reviews, there for I purchased a size bigger. I am normally a size 8 in pretty much everything footwear but purchased a size 9 for the minx shorty III. It fits perfect with my boot socks and keeps my feet warm. Highly recommend these shoes, but SIZE UP!!!

I loved the style and look of these boots ! But the front foot area of the boot is not deep enough at all to wear anything but a thin sock .

I did what you should never do with boots - bought them and immediately packed them for a trip to Iceland without breaking them in. And they were fabulous! Warm but breathable, waterproof, great tread (I was climbing over slippery rocks), looked good, and lightweight. There was not enough arch support for me (I have high arches), but I resolved it with a stop at an Icelandic pharmacy for arch support inserts, and they were perfect after that. I know they'll get me through a Syracuse winter in fine shape.

So cute, light weight, seem like they would be warm. Perfect with jeans, leggings. Just felt tight in width, especially toe area. I am returning this pair and maybe try another size.

Just got these in black, tried them on at home and I am very happy with this purchase. I got the shorty boot. It's very comfortable and I love the way they look. Still have to try them out on the next Polar Vertex to see if they stand out in the cold. But so far, its a great looking boot and I'm looking to purchase the MID too in different color.

The first day I wore these out, I got 3 compliments on them. They are lightweight, warm and comfortable. A little stiff at first but broke in quickly. Love these boots!

These are very comfortable, and warm. I bought them for winter hikes, and I think they'll be great in the snow. I did slip a little going down my ice-coated stairs, so I will not be using them for ice again.
I usually wear a 6.5-7, and got a 7.5. They're perfect.

I bought these as an addition to my snow boot collection, wanting something that was shorter and lighter for walking. Just returned from a snowy vacation in Leavenworth WA. Walked everywhere in these boots. My feet never got cold, and they were very comfortable for miles of walking. I bought my normal size and was able to wear wool socks with no problem. Even stepping in puddles and walking through snowbanks I my feet were never wet!

Needed a wider size but didn’t come in other widths. Would have been good if it did. Waterproof!

First, 5 stars on style/ cuteness factor. Everyone comments on them. However, these are sized small. I read reviews and ordered a half size larger than I always wear. They fit and are comfortable. But, it’s impossible to wear extra thick socks with them even though I ordered a larger size. Since I wanted them for extremely cold weather I had planned on thick socks and wished I’d ordered a full size up. Order 1/2 to 1 full size larger! Columbia needs to address this sizing issue. It’s got to be affecting sales and returns!

If these were slip ons, they'd be a keeper. Lightweight, stylish and warm. Sadly returning them because I'm old and don't want to mess with the laces.

I ordered the Columbia Minx Shorty III for my 15 year old daughter. I ordered her the Nori/Pacific Rim in a size 8 (wears 7.5). The boots were super cute. The boots matched the picture perfectly in color and style. She could walk and move around in the boots just fine. They were not clunky as some snow boots can be. Unfortunately, I am going to have to return the boots for two reasons. Fist reason is the size. I ordered a half size bigger but should have ordered a whole size bigger. The second reason being snow resistance. After experiencing two record breaking snow accumulations while stationed in Germany and 4 very snowing seasons in New Jersey, I feel they may not stay dry as she will need. I think the boots would be fine to wear to school and from school or running around with her friends. However, building snow forts or snowmen with her younger brother I feel they would not keep her feet dry.

I love the boots. The boots are cute. Its does run small and slightly narrow. Lucky I order a half size up. I normally wear 6.5. Plus it kept my feet warm when we hit high 12 degrees with wind chill -13. Another plus it is very comfortable. Feet loves it.

I normally order size 8 for Boots but from what's other people are saying so I ordered size 8.5. But It was really tight. So I had to returned them. They didn't have in Graphite in size 9 so had to order in Sea salt instead. Size 9 fits good. I will try them out this weekend. I had 9 different color of shoe laces in my closet so I changed my new boots with 2 different color shoe laces for fun. Looks good. I think I change them to different color it depends of what I wear.
