I work outside 5 - 6 days a week in all kinds of weather conditions year round here in Wisconsin. This is the first boot that kept my feet completely dry and warm without a problem. Best boot I've ever purchased will only by Columbia boots from now on!!!
I would recommend this product.

I am so disappointed with these boots. I have had a pair of bugaboots for almost 10 years and they have been great, but this year they started cracking. I'm going to see if they can be fixed but I wanted to get something else and I assumed that they would have kept the Bugaboot like they have made it for years. There is no padding inside this boot so it is nowhere near as comfortable as my old pair. Not to mention that it is taller and the back is stiff and it hits my calf in a bad place and it hurts. The boot looks great, but it does not compare to the 10 year old Bugaboot. I picked a size 10 since my old pair is a size 10 and because there is no padding or Thinsulate inside this boot was huge compared to my old pair. My old pair fit perfectly and always kept my feet warm and dry for snowshoeing and various other winter activities. The transition to Omni-Heat technology rather than Thinsulate makes the inside less comfortable and too big so I never actually wore it to know if it keeps my feet warm. The Bugaboot has been around for so long I would think that is becuase it has been a loved product, I don't know why they would change so many of the qualities of a previously popular item.
I do not recommend this product.

Omni Heat is very functional, thin and keeps feet warm (even hot). Boots are a little bulky, but look/feel/wear is excellent. Would suggest 1/2 size bigger if you plan on thick socks. But with Omni Heat, you probably don't need the extra bulk!! Stiff for the first few wears, then soften up nicely.
I would recommend this product.

I have been looking for a pair of winter boots that are stylish and not too spendy but will keep my feet warm! These boots look nice and I only have to have one pair of socks on. They also have nice ankle support. I have only used them twice since their purchase which has mostly been for shoveling snow. Very nice grip as well, so I don't feel like I am sliding all over the driveway!
I would recommend this product.

I purchased these boots to use for work (I work doing land surveying) and they have quickly become my favorite boots. My work takes me over a wide variety of different terrains (asphalt, yards, woods, marshes, wetlands and active construction sites) and they keep my feet warm and dry. The soles of the boot are great-they provide great traction and they do not hold too much mud or other debris in their soles/lugs. My feet also feel great after being on them for 8+ hours a day.
In regards to the stiffness that others have mentioned, they do break in yet still retain the support that my ankles need for the various surfaces that I walk on.
I have been in muck over my ankles and my feet remained dry and the boots cleaned up like new with a quick rinse from the hose.
I love these boots for the colder weather and I just ordered a pair of the Original Bugaboot with Omni-heat for warmer weather.

These boots are incredible! I live in Pittsburgh, so I know cold. These boots keep my toes nice and toasty warm (and the rest of my feet, too). At the same time, I can wear them all day in my office without my feet getting too hot. They're comfortable and pretty kick-@$$. The tops make my legs a little itchy unless I'm wearing tall socks or leggings, but they're worth it!
I would recommend this product.

I ordered these with a little hesitation, because I'm kind of stingy and hate spending much money on things like boots, coats, etc. But these boots are worth the money! Warm, comfortable, and durable. I've even worn them around my apartment a couple times when my feet were cold. :) I'm a size 8, and the fit seems to be true to size. They're roomy enough to wear wool or layers of socks, but if you don't want to do that, they won't be too loose. Highly recommended!
I would recommend this product.

purchased to replace older model of Columbia Sportswear Bugaboot Plus Women's Winter Boot. These fit more like a ski boot, the ankle shaft is to tall, stiff and does not have the graduated back of the ankle part to walk comfortably. They run small and had to go up an size as the toe box is too narrow and my regular size that I wear in a boot made my toes go numb (with no sock or thin socks on). You are unable to drive with these on. Have been trying to break in with walking around the house, but still very stiff on your ankles. Gave it a 2 star as I usually love Columbia Brand
I do not recommend this product.

These boots are exactly as advertised - rugged and sturdy yet seemingly lightweight, with soles that grip on any kind of surface winter can dish out.

This is my second pair of Columbia Bugaboots......I wore my first pair for a full winter and part of another walking my dogs on roads, fields, snow, and ice and stayed warm and toasty until they finally wore out and I ordered another pair.
I would recommend this product.

They have served their purpose: scooping snow from driveway and playing with the kids. But today after an outing in some snow drifts, my foot got wet - first time ever. The boot has ripped at the seam right where the upper meets with the rubber of the lower part. Not just a little, but all across the top of my foot and also in the back. And it wasn't even on my dominant foot. To look at it you would think they were run over by a car as the rubber has cracked and torn right by the seams. I wouldn't believe it if it hadn't happened to me.

The boots are much easier to get your foot into (wide feet with high arch/instep) than the prior model. Nice for wide feet, but this model in a 7 fits more like an 8 (is notably longer than prior version). Nice and light, feels comfortable to walk in and keeps your feet comfortable (not too hot or cold). I do wish they had metal grommets like the prior version, would make lacing up a bit easier. Otherwise a very nice boot.
I would recommend this product.

I bought these boots to replace a pair of Bugaboots I've had for about ten years that finally split. The new ones are just as comfortable, at least as warm and a bit more stylish. I use the boots for work in an oudoor nursery, and for light gardening and general standing around in the cold and wet. So far they have kept my feet warm and dry in our soggy Pacific Northwest winter.
I would recommend this product.

These boots are so comfortable right out of the box. Walked in them on ice and snow with out any worry of slipping. Wore them snowshoeing and snowmobiling and they were worm and comfortable. I wear them with thicker socks to take up room as I have a narrow foot. I wear a 8.5 or a 9 in other boots. I got the 9 so I could wear extra socks if needed but there is still room. Not a big deal because they lace up nicely and stay snug.

Listen, I never even imagined " immediate warmth" in a boot or shoe until I stuck my foot inside of this boot. You just load up on the socks and buy 1/2 size up to accomodate when buying boots for outdoor work. I slid my foot in and Cinderella's experience has nothing on mine! I called up my outdoor work buddies and raved like I gave birth to your boots. One pair of socks, true to size, light weight, and I didn't have to buy a man's boot and guess what size is equivalent to my 81/2 womens.. Will insert an Odor Eater as usual and can't wait to get to work in these!!
Cheers Columbia! Can't wait to get into the Omin-tech jacket!!

I love these boots so far, i live in wisconsin and its been a mild winter so i haven't been able to wear them in a blizzard yet. They seem to fit well, only thing is that i will have to break them in. I think driving in them might be a little difficult.
