Customer Reviews Columbia Ice Maiden™ Shorty

Purchased a size 8 for my kid who typically wears a 7.5. These are perfectly fit with a little bit of wiggle room for growth.

I bought these to walk in the snow in upstate NY. Very durable and fit great! Happy with my purchase!

i normally wear size 8 to 8.5. based on other reviews (thanks everyone) i ordered the 8.5. my toes still have wiggle room with medium heavy socks. was happy that my socks don’t creep down with every step like they do in some boots. good for walking but be warned these aren’t for super cold—as in 0 F temps—i’ll get out my felt lined sorels for those days. no, wait, i’ll stay indoors. also, i noticed some snow melted on the toe and seeped through to my sock, so they’re not totally waterproof in case that matters to you. ...one more thing...no arch support, but the insole is removable, so i replaced with better ones.

Very cute and great color. It was between these and the taller Columbia Ice Maiden. Chose the taller style because I can tighten the laces better around my narrow feet. Might have kept them if the taller style hadn't fit so well. I'm an 8/8.5, the 8.5 fit well otherwise.

Nice boots, seem like they will be warm. A little too big but that was fixed by putting in some lambs wool insoles- extra softness, warmth & comfort.

Enough room to wear a thicker sock comfortably. Sole is not at all cushioned; no arch support. The sole isn't removable; there isn't room for an insert. Fits true to size and width. Returned.

New to cold weather, I took a shot on these boots. Decent boots for the money. Comfortable & stylish. Could use some more arch support but I can always add an insert. Received quickly too!

I ordered a 1/2 size larger than normal (10.5, rather than 10). Length was fine. Sadly the width across the toe was too tight, so back they go. Too bad. Looks like it would be a cute functional boot.

Too large, mostly in the ankle, even though I usually wear an 8 in Columbia winter boots. No support. Felt like I was wearing a glorified tennis shoe.

I find that I buy a half to full size larger in Columbia boots than in my regular sneakers, so I ordered a 9.5 (based on another, taller pair of Columbia boots I own). Heel-to-toe length was fine with thicker socks. Ankle felt stiff and I had to pull the laces super tight at the top otherwise the gap was awkward and uncomfortable. They are super cute, and I really wanted to love these, but I just don't. Back they go and the search continues.

Much too big and wide. Also, very little insulation. Might be waterproof, but certainly won't be warm.

Style is clunkier in person so am returning. Am keeping the Minx shortie III.

I have a long, very skinny foot, and it is getting harder and harder to find a shoe that fits. Some reviews indicated this ran narrow, but sadly, not for me. I can't really tell about the length and the arch support because my feet swam in these, but the site forces me to give a rating, so I guessed. I didn't even bother to try walking in them, because I could tell they would not support my feet. They are cute, so if your foot is normal or wide, you may have better luck. Thankfully Zappo's has an easy return policy.
