Ice Maiden II Boot - Women's

Cute but Not Functional

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are really cute and very lightweight which is a bonus. I also love how easy they are to slip on and pull the laces up tight which makes them perfect for errands and quick trips outside. But…I bought these to go out in the snow and while they are waterproof, they are NOT warm. The tops of my feet freeze! I went back to my Sorel boots. Bummer, I was looking for another kind with similar warmth.

Surprised the reviews are high on this boot.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose the Ice Maiden II boots because the reviews said they were warm and I like the appearance. I am happy with the appearance, very pretty, but dissatisfied with the warmth. I have them on my feet as I write this review. It is 68 degrees in my house, 32 degrees outside. My feet are freezing!🥶. The only other issue I have is the insole is thin and flat. When I walk, it feels like the boots are separating beneath the arch in each foot, with every step. I put another insole in that has arch support and is thicker. That fixed the problem and made the boot more comfortable.

MAGIC

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] What is this sorcery!? I have slipped these on three times now without socks just to run outside quickly, but ended up staying out to shovel and even with my feet literally in 20-degree snow — without socks! — I have just come in with toasty warm, dry feet. How is this possible? I don’t know, but I’m not gonna spend much time questioning a good thing.

Excellent boot

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The boots are the best. They really do keep your feet warm and they are very comfortable from the first wear. Your ankles don’t feel restricted and they feel like they have been broke on for years. I love these boots !!!

It depends on what your goal for your purchase is

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Not a fan! While these boots are super comfortable. The Omni grip soles have let me down too many times! At first I thought it was because my shoes needed to be replaced so I purchased another pair but I had the same result of falling in them, my newest pair a couple of times. The sole showing signs of wear much sooner than my other Columbia boots that I wear fair more frequently! If you are purchasing these for fashion and comfort you will love them and I highly recommend them! If you are purchasing them for safety, keep looking! They don't live up to the usual Omni grip status of most Columbia shoes.

I purchased these boots. But unfortunately they are to small. I'm just wondering how I can return them as I don't have my shipping label or order number.

Great purchase

I've had this boot or about the last 5 years and am just now needing to replace it. Great investment. These boots are extremly comfortable and have great traction when hiking in the snow.

Overall a good winter boot.

I live in South Lake Tahoe and this 2022/23 winter has been super heavy. This is my second winter with these as my daily routine boots. I recommend these boots for more fluffy snowy days. I wore these out during the slush/flooding we’ve been getting in the basin & I came home with the bottom of my feet wet. I was walking in about a foot of water at one point. The traction on these boots is really good, I walk on a lot of ice/ black ice on my way to work and I feel safe walking in these. Overall a good winter boot, just don’t recommend them for heavy rain.

good at first then disappointing

I got these boots online, and loved them - for the first winter. They were what I wanted, kept my feet warm, and dry feet and provided good traction wile I walked the dog. I felt then that I got my money's worth, and congratulated myself on finding a good deal. However, after that first winter, they started leaking even when I just walked over lawns that were soft with melted snow, not visibly wet. And also, they show signs of wear on the heels, and I just walk on concrete paths or sidewalks. It was more wear and tear than I expected to see in a short time. I must admit I am slightly disappointed in them -- I bought them since they were Columbia boots. Even though they came at an affordable price, I expected them to last longer than did.

Durable and waterproof- everything I've ever wanted in a boot and more!

I got these boots almost 2 months ago and have put over 600 miles on them. I'll address comfort first. I have high arches and broke a toe several years ago that never healed quite right. I'm on my feet all day, so the toe hurts regardless, but these keep the daily impacts off the toe and support my arches better than anything I've ever owned. If there was a summer shoe version of these I'd buy them. For my job I walk through snow, snowdrifts, ice, asphalt, gravel- you name it, I'm in it all day! For the beating I've put these through there isn't much wear on the boots and the souls are just starting to show some wear. And when they say waterproof, they mean it! I've stepped in puddles that go up to my ankles and the mist moisture I get inside is from my feet sweating. I love these and am buying a second pair for when these wear out, hopefully years down the road.
