Bought these for my husband, he loves the support and comfort of the boot, however standing outside in single digit temps doesn’t keep warm for long

It fit my husband exactly with a bit of room for warm socks. Can't wait to have him wear them in the snow!

Lightweight. My husband said it was the only warm body part when shoveling over a foot of snow at 4 locations.

Very nice and warm winter boots, easy to put in and tie. We get a lot of snow here in northern MI and this boots have been just great for walking in the ice and deep snow.

What can I say my 2nd pair - just a different color. Love these boots, great for hiking, upland bird hunting, snowshoeing and have had them on the ice looking for fish in sub-freezing weather. If you are moving thru wet areas feet will stay DRY!!! Except if you go over top. Popping holes on the ice water drenching them no problems. I'm sure I'll buy a pair of the shorter ones this spring. Only negative I can even think of is not as much insulation on the top of the foot, but with right socks hasn't been a problem.

I've been able to wear them several times over the short time I've owned them. The fit seems right on and are they are very comfortable. They are very light, great for walking which what I've used them for so far. With your pant leg over the upper part of the boots they look a little like shoes so I think I can wear them most anywhere. I've owned several pairs of Columbia boots and they've held up well, I hope these do as well. One irritating thing are the laces, there are eyelets the entire length of the open part it's hard to get the right tension on the laces. I'd much prefer the speed laces. Don't even try and use the little spring clamp to hold the laces tight, they don't. Over all pleased with the boots.

Noisy but comfortable, might need to wear thick socks to help noise. True to size but ordered a size up from reviews, shouldn't have

These boots are awesome but i wish they had a hardier sole. They are very slick on ice. I think if they had a grippier tread something more like a tire, they would be 5 stars plus but as is, you have to be very careful around icy streets and such.

Fit as expected, true to size and width, living in the northeast they will definitely get used regularly. They aren't too chunky which is difficult to find in a winter boot.

Shoes fit to size. Didn't run small in our case. I sized up like website said but ended up returning because it was too big.

Hubby got them on his feet, but they were tight everywhere. Too bad, because I love my Columbia boots, but they do seem to run small. I had to order a whole size larger than I normally wear, and should maybe have done the same for hubby. The heat reflecting property of the boot is great, but he didn't really get to experience that because the boots just didn't fit. We'll keep looking for comfortable snow boots. The style of these is also very plain. Would be nice to have some colors instead of just neutral.

Good warm boots! Bought them for my son, he loves them. The only issue he has is with the toggle staying put.

I bought a pair of these half a size up because reviews on here said to. The grey boots. They are way too big and when I leave the boots it completely closes over the tongue to get it tight enough. I bought a pair of the slip on Hyper boreal boots in my normal size and they fit better. I just ordered the tan pair of these in the same size and I'm hoping they work. I'm going to sell the grey ones that are too big.

Bought these with the coming fall season of hunting and hiking here in Northern Michigan. I do a lot of photography of birds and wildlife in wetlands. These boots are everything they say and more!!!! Biggest negative is the length of the laces when tightening them up. I ended up doing a single wrap around the top. No big deal but if you don't the laces will be dragging. Definitely water proof and the mud washes right off!!! I got extra size up for thicker socks as it gets colder. But since they don't hold wetness I'm guessing they will be definitely comfortable. I'm not sure they are made for ice fishing but definitely lite snowshoeing. I'll try them in the next few months.

Gorgeous boots - not suitable if you avoid wearing leather. I was very excited to get these boots for my upcoming ski trip. Unfortunately once I got them I discovered that part of the materials used on this boots is leather (seeing the leather sign inside the boots) this is something that isn't mentioned on the materials composition description on the website. I avoid wearing leather and wouldn't buy this boots if I had known before. Only after asking a question on the website I was confirmed that leather is indeed incorporated to the exterior of the boots. Very disappointed with the lack of transparency.

These boot seem warm and comfortable on first impression, but the material is impossible and I can't imagine anyone ever wearing these boots. The problem is that the material seems to be some kind of stiff rubber that bends and crinkles and makes loud popping sounds at every step. I walked up and down the hallway in the house and am immediately sending them back because wearing them would be a miserable experience.

Wished we could give this a better rating but my husband found them terribly stiff and uncomfortable. Unfortunately they came damaged so they are being returned.

These boots are easy on and off thanks to a neat clip securing the laces. They are stylish for a winter boot. However they are not just narrow...They are incredibly narrow. If your foot is D width these boot will feel incredibly tight and somewhat uncomfortable. At best only a brief time wearing them is best. Go with the Bugaboot.

The boots are hard, uncomfortable. Made out of some sort of hard plastic. Not good for walking or doing work outside. They were returned.

I literally just got these in the mail and the threading is already coming apart on the upper internal stitching. It's held together with only a single stitch and thread already unraveled. I'm guessing probably 3 on and offs and the cuff lining will be done
