Customer Reviews Columbia Ice Maiden™ II

Great for wide calfs! Easy on easy off! I am a plus size and these boots have plenty of room in the calf, no gaps. The laces are nice and long and pull tightly with minimal effort. I was originally looking for a boot that was lower (because of my calf size) and zipped up (because laces can be a pain) but these boots won me over. I have worn them several times in the snow and slush to walk my dog, they kept my feet warm and dry and are comfortable to boot (ha?)! The only negative is there isn’t a pull tab on the back to help pull them on.

While these are very cute boots, the toe box is not wide enough for me especially on the right foot, where I have a bunion. The position of stitching also where my foot bends at the base of the big toe only irritates it. Had to return.

These are a lot cuter than I expected them to be. I got the ruby color. They are very warm and have good grip on the bottom. The only problem is that I have a bunion on one foot and it is rubbing against the top of the boot. Otherwise, they are very comfortable.

While I wish I could love this boot, I live in the upper peninsula of Michigan. I wore them outside on a day when there was a first snow on the ground & about 30 degrees & my feet were cold! These might be fine in city environments, but I could tell after being outside with these boots for a few hours that they would not be sufficient in the weather & conditions I’ll need them for. If your outside for less than 30 minutes they might be okay but they certainly won’t keep a foot warm. I’ll keep them but now looking for a boot better suited to the conditions I’ll endure. I rate them as okay for city folk but for a true outdoors experience lasting for more than running to your car or getting to the office, look elsewhere.

The sides of this boot were digging into my ankles just above the ankle bone even with thick socks. It was super uncomfortable and since its plastic round the heel and not just fabric there’s no way to break that in. Disappointed considering all the rave reviews. Will look for a diff brand.

The boot seems real warm and waterproof but I put them on to walk around the house and the sides of the boot dug into my ankle as i walked, even with thick socks. This is a bummer because the boot has such good reviews. I can't see this being resolved by wearing them more and I live in NYC so would have to walk in them a lot. Back to the drawing board.

I bought these a half size bigger (8.5) than I normally would because I wanted to put in a warmer inner sole and wear thick socks with them for cold New Hampshire winters. They are perfect and I can even fit a foot warmer if it’s really cold. They are cute and very waterproof and keep my feet warm. They’re also quite light which is amazing and a relief after wearing super heavy, clunky boots for many years.

I have wide foot and difficulty finding shoes/boots that are attractive and fit. These boots are wonderful. Lots of room for crooked toes. Highly recommend.

I had to replace some sorrels that are warm and waterproof but rubbed the crap out of my right foot. I tried everything and decided just gotta bite the bullet and replace. I decided on these based on reviews, price and was super excited to see a winter boot available in half sizes! I wear a 6-6.5M just for reference. After I ordered 6.5M realized that it fit just perfect but without room for uber-thick socks-I am a total crybaby when it comes to winter. I ordered half size up in the olive which is super subtle but a nice change from my usual black. I have room for socks without feeling clumsy or heavy. Only dilemma now, I have always had boots with side zippers and wondering if I am gonna regret laces other than that super cozy!

I was hesitant about ordering these online and after reading reviews, I decided to get them, I’m so glad I did. I wear size 9 (I have wider feet), got the medium 9, fits great. If you like a little room, maybe get the wider one. I was going to exchange it to wider fit but decided to keep these. Super easy to put on and take off. Can’t wait to try them when it’s cold out. Great value too!

I am going to Iceland in November and needed a versatile, warm boot. This boot is perfect. Not to big and clunky but warm and cozy with the special heat holding liner. They are supposed to be waterproof and I read a number of great reviews saying they performed well. I wore them around the house for several hours and they felt great. I ordered 1/2 size up to allow for a thicker sock which will work fine and I feel like my normal 6.5 would have been just fine as well.

Most comfortable pair of boots I've ever worn. I was concerned about the fit on my calves. The circumference is perfect! No rubbing and I can tuck my pant legs in my boots to keep them dry...thats a win-win for me! I haven't really gotten them wet, but they are nice and warm!

I received the boots two months ago, but today was my first chance to wear them. They were very comfortable, easy to get on, and kept my feet warm in snowy conditions and cold windchill, and I wasn’t even wearing my warm wool socks, just regular socks. There will be room for wool socks too. The boots felt supportive and the bottom grid kept me from slipping since it was a bit icy on the sidewalks. Would order again.

I almost kept this boot - but decided to keep the Propet Peri boot instead. This boot was really comfortable - maybe not quite as wide as the Propet. For the price, though, I may buy this boot again someday...

These boots are true to size for me and fit very comfortably. Laces cinch easily. They keep my feet just warm enough, so my feet don't get cold or become overheated when I work up a fast paced walk or when I wear them all day. The sole is a good thickness, allowing some flex, not at all clunky or cumbersome. They are fairly light, waterproof, leather in all the right places, and I love how they look. I expect them to be my constant companions for the next few months and I'm thrilled with the arrangement.

This is my 3rd pair of Ice Maiden in a different color. Fits like a dream and very comfortable .Also keeps my feet warm on cold days. My all time favorite boots to for cold weather! Thank you Zappos for shipping it early.

It was between these and the Columbia Shorty. Due to narrow feet, I preferred that I could tighten up the laces better then the shorty style, which gives it more of a snug fit, and not shlepping around in a winter boot. I'm an 8/8.5 in shoes, and the 8.5 fit just right for winter socks.

Comfortable, affordable, quality snow boots. Plus they’re kind of cute! What more could you want? I needed a pair of snow boots for a ski trip. I’ll only wear these on occasion, so I didn’t want to spend a fortune, but it’s important that snow boots keep your feet warm and dry. I’m happy I found this reasonably priced pair from a reliable brand like Columbia. These feel right-sized to me and will accommodate slightly thick winter socks.

I love these.. at first i was a bit worried because i hate heavy, bulky snow boots but these are lightweight and so comfortable. I didn’t want to take them off. And what i love most about these is that they were affordable. Most snow boots are so expensive. Great buy!!
