This is a hard one bc it's not very "plush or comfy" inside the boot. However, I bought them for WARMTH. I have reynauds and always have numb toes. These are rate for below 0. They may well keep a persons feet warm BUT they do not FEEL cushy enough and infarct feel quite hard inside. It hasn't been cold enough here in the north east yet to really TEST the cold factor. So, bc I'm lack confidence in their comfort I am returning them.

I really liked these boots. I bought the Wide and they were still narrow.. my foot is like a D width too..if you have a wide foot, these are not for you. I bought the Ice Maiden Columbia in wide and they were great...

Love the color and the materials but this boot is way too narrow even when going up a half size.

Size 6.5. Green. I missed the part about these running small, had to return the first pair and get a 1/2 size larger. Those fit well. They have super great soles/tread. They are warm if it is dry. These boots are not at all waterproof in wet snow. My feet were soaking in 4 minutes in spring slush. In my photo you will see where they soaked through. Another suggestion is that these boots need a tab or loop at the back to help with pulling on.

These boots will keep your feet warm as long as you aren't in the snow. They absolutely will not keep your feet warm if you're walking through the snow. If you're walking on a street and it's -10 degrees, your feet will be fine. If it's 30 degrees and you're playing with kids in the snow, your feet will freeze.
I'm also doubting how well the sole will hold up season after season. The rubber part barely comes up onto the boot.
They're for sure water resistant, but I haven't tested them with small puddles yet to know if they're waterproof.

I ordered an 8 1/2 (I normally wear a 7 1/2-8) based on reviews that these run small. They're snug around the ball of the foot when putting them on but were comfortable walking around. I do think I would have been more comfortable in a 9. The description says these have traction, but I slipped and fell 5 times, I had to spikes to put on to keep from slipping. I bought these for a trip to Iceland in February and they did a good job keeping my feet dry and comfortable for the most part, my toes did get a bit cold.

Nice looking boot and really warm! Couple of drawbacks though runs really short. I usually wear an 8 sized up to 8.5 but could best fit into a 9. These boots lean inward. I have a neutral pronation but as soon as these go on feet( you can actually see the lean when off foot) the boot forces feet to roll inward. They will be ok for quick jaunts outside but wouldn't want to wear for long duration as I feel would have to really focus on my step. Colors are exactly as pictured ordered green and blue/grey. Definitely keeps feet dry and warm. Wore these in single digit temps and no issues! Would score a 5 if fit was accurate.

Ordered an 8.5 wide and was praying they worked but unfortunately they didn't. The length however was perfect, so they're not necessarily "slightly small," more like too narrow. Great looking boot and awesome waterproof materials, I just never got to wear them because it was pinching the side of my left foot.

Runs Small. I ordered half a size bigger and they were still too tight. Nice winter boot. Just recommend ordering a size bigger.

My review is related to my experience and the shoe fit. Having never worn Columbia shoes before, I had to go by their measuring guide. Well the shoes are an entire size too small. They have to be returned.

They generally keep your feet warm in the cold but are pretty much useless in wet snow/slush. I took my dog on a 20 min walk in sleet/wet snow, and my socks were soaked when I got home. I bought them because they are waterproof, but they definitely are not.

I very much liked the appearance of this boot but immediately returned it because the outsole and insole were much too thin. My guess is if I wore it outside I would feel every pebble or ice salt crystal I stepped on. I exchanged this boot for the Columbia Slopeside Peak boot and the insole and the outsole of that boot are much thicker and therefore much easier on my bones!

I have been wearing this boot for about a month now. They are comfortable, however, even though I purchased a wide and a size up they are still tight across the top of foot in the toe area. And once the temperature dropped into the teens they are not keeping my feet warm.

I loved the look and the fit of these boots. Not quite as much arch support as I would like. But I returned them because the sole was narrow, more narrow the actual boot, so I did not feel much lateral support from the boot.

Even the wide is pretty narrow. I took the insoles out and put thin ones in to create more room but no thick wool socks with these. They are warm but the toe part is molded so your toes are kept at a 15 degree angle all the time which gets weird after 20 minutes of walking around. I like that I can just slip them on but won't depend on these for a long day outdoors.

Purchased size 9. The shoe fits but the soles cut at your feet weird. Meant for SUPER NARROW FEET. They were shaped too narrow so makes it feel awkward when walking. Wish they would fix this cause otherwise they are perfect. Had to return.

The product appears to be cream but is much darker, closer to taupe colored.

I was very happy to find a wide width boot that was cute, waterproof, and not black! I was disappointed to find that wide, at least for me, felt more like a regular width. There was no cushioning to speak of, and no support to speak of. They were very cute, but I had to return them.

Beautiful to look at but tiny size. I normally wear a womens 9 1/2. When I buy hiking shoes I size up to allow for foot swelling so I bought these boots in size 11. The toe box was as long as I would have expected for an 11 but the saddle seam across the top of the toes was so tight my feet could barely fit in the shoe. The listing says size up but I didn't anticipate that 1 1/2 sizes would still be too small
