Columbia Sierra Summette Winter Boot - Women's - 2008 BCS

I bought these for my wife for christmas, and she loves them. they are light, and comfy according to her. We recently had an all day outside event, in around 18 degree weather, and several inches of snow. She had some heavy hunting socks on, but her feet stayed comfortable all day. For her, the sizing was the same as all her other shoes.

Light and warm!

These boots are light and feel great on your feet but they are NOT warm in the area where it's rubber. Where the fabric ends, so does the warmth! I was out in 39 degree weather, had on wool socks and my toes got icy cold. It says good to 25 below.... trust me, they're not! I called the company and they just shrugged me off.... well you're the only caller. I couldn't believe it. I expected much more from Columbia. They 'had' a good reputation until now in my book.

Definitely warm and protective. Tromped through inches of Chicago snow and slush without feeling a thing. My only problem is the right show squeaks when I walk--it feels like there is a crack or something in the sole. This started maybe a week after getting them, so it's not from too much use.

I live in Jackson Hole, Wy. It gets plenty cold here, and these boots have kept me warm enough. Their performance on ice, however, not so good. So I would say these boots are great for tromping through the snow, but watch out if you come upon any ice.

I purchased these boots because I have a puppy that needs to go outside very often. We've had 12 inches of snow in the past 24 hours, with temperatures as low as 8 degrees. They have kept my feet dry & warm. They are also high enough to keep the snow from getting inside. Best boots I've had in years!

I thought these boots were so comfortable when I tried them on in the store but since I brought them home and tried them around the house I am finding them very narrow and they squish my feet, especially the right foot. I have fairly narrow feet so I am surprised by this. If they were just a bit wider they would be great. They are well made and the sole is comfortable and shock absorbent. I'm going back to the store to see if another size 8 fits me better.

Perfect lightweight warm boot except after two months regular wear, both boots developed a loud annoying squeak.
Otherwise, awesome sole good for multiple ankle/foot articulations, not at all stiff. Warm for 30-60 minute hikes with dog in Wisconsin winter, even at -30 F (shorter hike that day :o)
Warm, lightweight and noisy.

Thought I posted this review earlier, but it didn't show up, so if this is 2X...
Warm in coldest WI weather for 30-60 minutes hikes with dog in deep snow and snowdrifts. However, both boots developed loud squeak after two months regular wear. Otherwise, the perfect boot.
