I took these boots to Alaska and they kept me feet warm in mild snow conditions. The weather ranged from -13 to 17 degrees the highest. Walking around town or quickly going from one place to the next was fine. However, I decided to walk a trail in 4 inch snow and my feet slowly started to get unbearably cold. It even felt like the top part of my shoe was wet. I'm pretty sure they were, my sock was damp that day. The boots are waterproof but they are not great for walking through thick snow. So if you are heading to a similar place I wouldn't recommend these.

A full size too small and did not seem sturdy or warm enough. Returning.

No arch support and adding my own orthotics really didn't work.

I've had these boots for a few years, and they're generally very warm and cozy however I've had many issues with their water proof capabilities. If you are hiking through semi-melted snow, your socks will likely get wet. The boots then take a very long time to dry. I went for a hike 5 days ago and they are still too wet to wear outside.

These shoes are tight. If you order them I recommend going up a half size and ordering the wide size.

These appeared to be a sturdy boot in the online photo, but what showed up is a boot that has a continuous sole that rounds up on the back of the heel. I ordered a wide width, these felt like any regular medium width...without even putting on heavier socks. These boots were not as sturdy as I'd been looking for, and the fit was not as described. I did go up a half size in addition to ordering wide width.

These are warm comfortable enough to wear all day, unless the snow starts melting. I work outdoors, so I was looking for something that was lightweight and also very warm. These hit both those marks well. The problem is that as soon as any slush appears my feet are quickly quite wet. This is unacceptable for a product at this price level that advertises that it is "waterproof". Very, very disappointing.

I bought these boots because they come in a wide width. I was super bummed when i got them and they are NOT wide. Worst part I have to pay shipping to return them.

Columbia should give the shoe a size based on how much room is on the inside for your foot! I expect a winter boot to be snug, so I went a 1/2 size up. My usual size 6.5 W or 7M, because my feet are just a little wide across the toe box. I ordered a 7W, and they are painfully narrow. But the length is fine. This is beyond frustrating. I didn't even have my warm socks on, just my running socks! The only reason I gave 2 stars instead of 1 is because it looks like they would be a nice boot for someone with narrow feet.

These have no arch support and aren't very warm. I'm not a fan of this line of boots.

Way too narrow to be comfortable. It's also strange that you can't lace up to your ankle but the shoe covers somehow your ankle. So it's like having flaps covering your ankle but none of the support. Weird.

I wear these as slippers as they are easy to slip on and super comfy although in reality they are too warm for slippers and make my feet sweat. Unfortunately they are not at all water proof like they claim. My toes were soaked after taking the dog out in the rain and in the snow.

I am very disappointed in the sizing of these boots. I had a pair of Minx Shorty boots which were partially suede on the outside. The boots were and 8.5 and fit perfectly. These boots are a half size short and not at all comfortable.

The shoes are just okay. The shoes are comfortable and I think they would be warm, but they’re just too narrow. I am a size 9.5 in dress shoes and wear a 10 in sneakers/boots and I tried ordering up but the 10.5 was just too long and and my heel slipped which was not comfortable. There are no speed hooks at the top so they could be difficult to lace if wet. I’ve read lots of reviews that they aren’t waterproof but I can’t speak to that since I’ve only worn them inside. I’ve worn them around the house but the only way they work is with no socks or very thin socks. It’s fine that I don’t need to wear thick socks but not being able to wear just a regular sock is annoying. I think I’ll be returning. Maybe if I’d gotten them on sale I’d keep them but I guess for $100 I want more than “just okay”.

Loved everything about this boot - the tough but stylish exterior, the light weight of the boot, the warm lining, how it laced and the height of the boot on my leg - but, sadly, I could not keep them. I had no choice but to return them based on the narrow width. I have a narrow foot so thought that a medium would be great for a winter boot so that I could wear an extra sock in it. With one light-weight sock on, my foot was pinched across the ball of the foot in this boot. I had even ordered 1/2 size larger (wear a 7 1/2 and bought an 8) ... thought about trying to order an 8 1/2 but realized that the narrowness across the ball of the foot would probably not change enough with a bigger size. Back to the drawing board ...

It is difficult to rate overall and comfort since the boots were so narrow even with bare feet. I am a spot-on size 8 and rarely have to go up or down a 1/2 or whole size. So I can't speak to those qualities since I returned them the next day. I also tried on a pair of Sorel's and both were too narrow! Anyway, I was bummed because a) got them on sale during Black Friday/Cyber Monday and then had to return and of course couldn't get the sale price on any other shoe because I missed the window b) they really are stylish. The perfect height and would go with everything. Ya'll who can fit into these, I'm jelly.

I read several reviews before I ordered them and can confirm these shoes run a full size to size and a half small and they are extremely narrow. They are very cute but simply do not fit correctly. Think its just a design or manufacturing defect. I really wanted to like them but they simply wont fit properly.

I'm so disappointed. These were so warm and fit perfectly when I tried them on. I just wore them in the snow and slush for the first time and not only were they not waterproof, they were barely water resistant. I walked home with soaking wet icy cold feet. The slush completely soaked in so I was squishing around in it. The hunt for comfortable waterproof boots continues.

Very cute boot! Lightweight and easy on and off. Unfortunately my feet were cold in just minutes and it was only after 15 minutes in 20 degree weather.

After returning for a bigger size I found that these boots are just uncomfortable. Wore them for a full day and was relieved to get them off. Irritated at the thought of returning a second pair and reordering another boot. The snow is coming!!

If you are planning on only wearing these from the house to the car then these are fine boots. If you want a boot to walk in these are NOT the boots for you. These boots are cheaply constructed and offer little to no support. Such a huge waste of money.
