Columbia Women's Ice Maiden Ii

As someone who lives in a cold/snowy climate (at the base of the mountains in Utah) and who participates in a lot of outdoor winter activities, I did a lot of research before buying a pair of winter/snow boots. I'm always thrilled when I get it right on the first try without having to send anything back. These boots are worth every penny. I have come to be a major fan of Columbia outerwear in general and these boots were no exception! From the moment I put them on I knew I would love them if they kept the warmth in and the wet out- which they do! These boots are extremely comfortable! I can wear them all day and don't want to take them off! They aren't a fashion accessory but aren't ugly either which is nice. I bought them to do a job, not look darling, but I actually really like the way they look as well. They look just fine under my jeans. They fit great and are "substantial" without being super clunky and are surprisingly light. Most importantly they keep your feet warm and keep any and all moisture OUT! You could trudge around in sleet, snow, puddles, mud for hours and stay toasty and dry, and I have chronically cold feet so I would know! The tread is really substantial as I mentioned and I feel totally comfortable hiking in these in winter or just hanging Christmas lights on a ladder outside. I can't praise these boots enough! If you're look for the cutest and least boot looking waterproof boots in the world, these are not for you, but if you want a real winter work horse boot that you can actually wear under boot cut jeans to work and not look completely silly, these are a winner! I love them and they have survived 2 full winters with me and still look new! See my pictures to compare what this boot looks like next to a regular shoe. I am a true 8.5 size.

Coming from Florida, I did a lot of research and preparation before taking a Feb trip to the winter carnival in Quebec City. I knew I’d be outside all day plying in the snow, sledding, walking, etc. My regular size is an 8, sometimes a 7.5, and slightly wide (or at least not narrow). I bought these in every variation of possible size that sounded like it could fit me after carefully reading the reviews, and after trying them all on (regular and wide 7.5, 8, even 8.5), the 8 wide fit the best. I also bought a few other styles for comparison but this was by FAR the best style, warmest, and most comfortable. They’re so lightweight too. I walked for 8+ miles a day, and didn’t have to break them in - they were comfortable immediately out of the box and never pinched or hurt anywhere. Also they are totally waterproof. I was in knee-deep snow often, and it even rained for a whole day and I was totally dry. The ONLY time I ever felt cold was coming through the bottom of the shoe when standing still for too long (at a nighttime parade specifically) - and I’ve since learned about the little warming things you can put in your shoes or gloves - but even just moving in the slightest or walking around warmed right back up. These were absolutely by far the best bang for the buck, and I looked around and tried on different styles for months prior! I wasn’t looking to make a hefty investment, I just wanted a reliable winter shoe for cold weather vacations that would last and keep me warm, especially as someone not accustomed to that weather. I wore them with wool socks, not even super thick ones or doubled up, and they were perfect. Also worth noting that they didn’t make me hot when inside like at restaurants or airport travel etc. They’re easy to clean, and super cute too! I got the black on black. 10/10 would recommend these to anyone!

I love these boots! I live in Colorado and these are the best winter boots. They are so warm and cozy and stay that way even in the snow. They stay dry too when I’m walking through a bunch of snow! I usually am an 8.5 and that’s the size I got and they were perfect. I was worried I’d need to size up in case I wanted thick socks on, but there’s plenty of room for thick socks if I needed them! These boots are absolutely worth the purchase, and I can tell they’re going to last me a long time!

I love these boots! I read that they can run small, so I bought a 9 Wide when I wear 9 in regular shoes. They fit perfectly. I am a dog walker, and while trudging through the snow in single digits, these boots kept my feet warm and dry the entire time. They have good support, but since I have plantar fascitis, I inserted additional orthotic insoles for optimal comfort. The boots have a rocking back and forth motion while walking, which I find comfortable. There is good support for the ankles as well. No snow gets in, and you can tighten the laces at the top to keep everything even drier. The only issue I have is that the traction isn't very good if you walk on ice or even sidewalks with a thin layer of snow. It is very slippery. Other than that, I love these boots and will order them again!

Nice fit. Haven't worn them in snow yet, but when I tried them on, my toes did not feel cold. That's a win in my book! They feel nice and sturdy also.

Great product, I love my booths. Nice, light. Warm, great materials!

I bought a pair of these exact boots about 8 years ago, just at the end of this last winter, they started to get worn. These are great boots, the price was unbelievable!!!!Under $40.00!!

I love these boots I got a size 81/2. Almost 4 years ago and they are still standing tall. I love love love these boots they are very durable and are of great quality. They keep your feet warm are very comfortable and super cute. I always get Compliments. I will be buying a new black but will also try another color or two. I just love these boots

They keep my feet warm. Worth every penny.

Aunque no las he usado, me encantaron las botas y cuando me las medi las sentí muy cómodas y calientitas. La medida es la correcta, muy recomendables

The media could not be loaded. Llegaron en tiempo y forma, acorde a la descripción, de excelente acabado, calientitas, a prueba de agua, los materiales y el color como el la fotografía, muy cómodas. Una muy buena compra.

I bought it for my wife, she said she is very happy with these snow boots! The quality is outstanding, and their waterproof feature truly delivers -her feet stay dry even in the heaviest snow or rain. They keep her feet wonderfully warm, especially when paired with cozy socks. She highly recommend these boots for anyone seeking reliable protection and comfort during winter adventures and specially who are in Canada!

They are beautiful and comfy ,nothing but compliments 🥰
