Columbia Titanium Bugaboot XTM Omni-Tech Winter Boot - Men's - 2010 BCS

Very warm and comfortable boots. It has high quality workmanship. I tried it in winter in northern Bohemia (in Europe) in the mountains. Selected size by sizing chart is no problem.

I just bought a pair of these boots 2 weeks ago. I took them winter camping at 11,300 feet in the Colorado Rockies in negative 25 degree, blizzard conditions and they kept me warm and dry. I even used them for my snowshoes and crampons and they fit great. Only needed 1 pair of mid weight wool blend socks. These have to be the lightest boots I have had for winter camping and they are amazing. I endured snow, ice, cold, and freezing temps and the boots worked like champs. I went up 1 size as you must have space in the toebox and around your foot for warm air to pool. Great boot and would highly recomend it.

My last pair lasted almost 7 years and were put thru the ringer over that time span. Once your feet get use to the fit , they are extremely comfortable. I have worn them in all types of weather from -20 to +50 and have had no problems.

By far the best boot I ever worn. I bought it for hunting and my feet were toasty warm and dry.these boots are indeed water proof. I found myself in the middle of a swamp that was covered in snowand could not believe that my socks were still dry after what I put them though. They outperformed my expectations. Great boot. I'm very happy

I have this boot in last year's model. They're exceptionally comfortable for a pseudo-pac boot, and they've done ok for me in moderate winter hiking in terms of grip, support, and flexibility. They're also significantly lighter than traditional pac boots.

Unfortunately they are not nearly as warm as advertised. The labeling makes the dubious claim that they are comfortable to -60 degrees. Personally, I've gotten icy-cold toes in these boots in 15 degree weather with multiple layers of high-quality socks. Even when I've got my heart rate up from snowshoeing, walking, or otherwise working, my toes have still gotten painfully cold in single digit temps and below. I mostly feel the cold in the toe box area - the rest of the foot seems to be fine. Perhaps there's a design flaw in the sealing of the insulation. I don't know.

I picked these up on clearance for less than half retail, so I'm not too bummed. These boots work well in moderately cold temperatures, as long as you're active. But you may be disappointed if you think these will keep your feet warm in sub-zero temps.

Got my pair on-line in December and the only size available was 11.5 but fit like a glove. Worked outside for 10 days, 10 to 12 hours per day in 18-32 degree weather with only one pair thin boot socks and never had a cold toe. Treads are great in snow and mud, but beware ice. Have now worn everyday for over a month. No cold or water entry and they are holding up great. Great boot.

These boots are by far the best boots I have owned. The sizing is perfect for me I wear a size 13 shoe and bought size 13 boots and they fit perfectly with thick wool socks. Although I havent owned them long they seem to be well constructed and something that will endure a lot of abuse and wear. I used them for snowmobile riding the first time I wore them and they were awesome. I was also hiking around in the snow and once again awesome. Once again Columbia has done it for me and pulled it off with flying colors. Also Backcountry.com thank you for the great service and products you offer.

This is a great boot I am in the Alaska Bush and have to walk to & from work (20 min each way, Ice & snow covered streets - they have to be so people can ride their snowmachines to get around). the coldest I have used this boot is -15 thus far and my feet have been just right (not too toasty & nowhere near cold)
I have also just been wearing regular socks or a coolmax (moisture wicking sock) which seems to work fine so far.
As it gets colder I will wear a wool blend for extra warmth - which I have done even though I didn't need to and my feet still didn't over heat & stayed at a good comfortable temp.

I got the womens equivelant for my wife and she loves them so much.

These boots are good grip - heave duty - & I love the height which is just a couple inches above a regular short winter boot, this height seems to offer good support round the anckle for any unexpected slips in the snow or ice; Even though you probable won't slip cause the grip feels pretty secure.

these boots are badass - they look like monster boots. extremely cool - i have to use a stick to beat the ladies off when i wear these boots. you know what it is.

These boots are awesome. They are the perfect height to keep the majority of snow out, even in drifts well above the top of the boot, without being uncomfortable or irritating. I've worn them in subzero temperatures in the snow for hours on end and my toes were cold but not uncomfortable at all. Plus there's no "break in" period. Just put them on and go. Great buy!!!

I bought these boots for a deployment to Afghanistan where I would need warm boots that were comfortable to walk in. These boots are incredibly comfortable. I have wide feet and I found a perfect fit. They are warm. The waterproofing is terrible. They get wet inside down to the sock when stepping through little puddles. The only place I would recommend this boot would be dry snow areas where it's cold.

these boots are pretty much what I expected, they are warm and comfortable and seem to have very good traction in snow and on ice. I find them a little difficult to put on as the foot opening is kind of small. Other than thay they are very good.

I am very pleased with these boots, they are not cumbersum like some boots. My feet have not been cold even being in -40 for a couple of hours.

They fit true to size, they're warm, they're light weight and look great too. Will be walking on a frozen river end of Jan - Will tell more on return :)

I really like these boots even though I had to return mine after 1 month of use due to seam splitting. They are only double stitched with a sub standard thread. Double stitching on a boot is fine if they use high quality thread otherwise they should use triple stitching on all seams and then they would be a definite 5 star boot!

I got these boots and immediately returned them. They felt very warm and had a comfortable fit, but I was expecting something that felt like hiking boots and these definitely don't fall in that category. I have high arches and these are relatively flat inside, so I would have needed to buy nice inserts to make them work... and given the cost of the boots, I can make a dent in the purchase of a nice set of mountaineering boots. That being said, if you know what you're buying and you're expecting the feel of snow boots and not hiking boots, these did appear to be a quality product and were very warm in the short amount of time I wore them.

These are incredible boots. If anything they keep my feet TOO warm when it isn't that cold outside. They fit true to size, and have kept my feet cold and dry every time!

I love this boot. It's very well constructed. The tread is great in all conditions. I don't know about keeping you warm at -65 but they are perfect for everything the Utah winter throws at me.

So far- so good. It's a lot better than Sorrel, Kamik or etc. Using mostly for ice fishing- it's mean walking in the water, snow and cold (temp range- 32F to -17F). Waterproof for sure, light enough for walking, warm (I wouldn't say -65 but newer froze my feet yet...). Wearing size 13 ;driving with having Bugaboot on your feet could be difficult if you driving a car (with full size P/U feels OK). That's about all so far. If any new stuf pupup about this boots- will apdate my review.

Worst boot I have ever owned. They were perfect the first ~ten uses until they separated at the seam making them useless. I only used them inside a small boat and never hiked or did anything that would cause a tear. The materials used were very poor quality and simply cracked.

Please do not buy these boots unless you only want to store them in your house.

These are the best snow boots I've worn hands down. Extremely comfortable and warm. So far it has taken all a New England winter can give with ease. Solid boot..

A comfortable, rugged boot, I bought a half size bigger than normal boots run about half size small
not as warm as I hoped for, work outside standing on cold ground all day. could have used another half size bigger, maybe could have worn a warmer sock with.

I got a size larger than normal and they are incredibly tight. Go 1&1/2 sizes larger if possible. Do not order them through Columbia as they make you return the product wait for a refund and then place a new order for the correct size in hopes that they will fit.**I tried to get them to send me out another pair while this one was being returned with no luck what so ever** I called and complained about their return policy. I am sure they know they run small however the customer service rep denied they do even though I offered proof on several sites. Take out the foot liner and force your foot into them with some large wool socks and they do give a bit after maybe 50 minutes. So now I have to either mail them back at my expense and go through this hassle with a major clothing manufacturer or keep them more likely.

Guess I will learn to like the feel eventually.

OH by the way the tag on the boots atate they are 600 grams of insulation as opposed to 200 grams like the Columbia web site provides.

These boots are fantastic. Functional and stylish. They're pretty true to size, but if you plan on wearing two pairs of socks you may consider going up a size.

I asked the online consultant how the sizes ran and he suggested ordering a half size smaller than my regular size. That was a mistake and I had to pay $16 to ship back. The replacements were a little snug. I could see getting a half size larger as some others mentioned. Still, I wore them constantly hiking on vacation in the Rockies and they were comfortable and warm. They look great too. I like how light they are. All in all, a great boot for a great price.

These are the best winter boots I've had. I'm glad I got the slightly taller ones, too, as they keep the snow out when I'm shoveling the driveway or hiking in deeper snow. They are very comfortable, warm and have great traction. I was able to push someone's car out of deep snow the other day without getting wet feet - awesome. When I went hiking in them, I found it important to keep them tight to keep them from rubbing. As long as I kept them tight, they worked perfectly for long distance hiking. I highly recommend these.

I work the night shift on Vail Mountain, so I put these boots to the test every night. I climb around on machinery and walk through knee to hip deep snow. These boots definitely work very well. I wouldn't say they are insulated for -65 but are very warm and water-tight.

I called and asked a consultant how sizes ran. I ordered the wrong size. Sent them back ordered a half size bigger and they fit GREAT. I love them my feet are warm and dry. they are very light.

Take the advice of the reviewer below: they run VERY SMALL and VERY TIGHT. I have size 13E feet, which makes buying shoes and boots a nightmare. I bought some size 15's (2 sizes up from my normal size) from Zappos and they were still horrendously tight on my feet when wearing liner socks, VB socks and wool insulated socks. Maybe the 17s would be wide enough, but they would be far too long for my feet.

If your feet are wider than normal, DO NOT BUY these boots.

That said, they seem like pretty nice boots. They seem very well made and are very comfortable (squished toes notwithstanding).

My only complaint is that they do not have removable linings. This means you will need to be extremely careful if using them on a multi-day trip, and will need to use vapor barriers (ie. newspaper bags, or some similar fully waterproof fabric) to keep the perspiration from your feet from soaking the linings. Many cold-weather boots allow you to remove the insulated linings to keep them in your sleeping bag to prevent them from freezing up overnight.

Overall they seem like good boots for everyday use. Lack of removable liners makes them less than optimal for backpacking, but still usable if you're extremely careful not to soak the linings (use vapor barriers and gaiters). They run very very small and tight, so don't even consider them if your feet are wider than normal.

These boots met every expectation. I wore them to a football game with air temps of 7 F and had warm feet until late in 4th quarter. Then wore them for a week in Yellowstone over Christmas. Very comfortable snowshoeing and standing for extended periods watching animals. Concur with the idea to get at least a half size larger.

These are hands down the best winter boots I have ever owned. I actually don't mind digging out from under the snow with these on since my feet stay so warm and dry. And I agree with the above. I got them a half size larger and they fit perfect.

I purchased the Columbia Titanium boots because they were a great fitting and looking boot. The Reviews were good and Columbia makes a good product. I was not happy with the boots after the first two days of use. The boots were very warm but made my feet sweat to the point I could push down on the liner and get moister to collect around my finger. After a couple of hours my feet were wet and cold. I worn a summer weight cotton sock so the problem was in the boot. The boot has no moister wicking properties as stated in the boot specs. Not recommeded.
