The boot is good looking, comfortable, WARM, but I am having some issues with the zipper. If you don't push the tab in firmly after zipping them up, when you start to walk the zipper opens. I am still debating whether to return them or not. Other than that, they are an awesome boot!

I bought this boot to wear to work, etc. I liked the idea of the zipper as opposed to laces. The tread is excellent and makes walking a breeze. Warm, too! The boot, itself, is very comfortable. A little stiff on top. However, the first time I wore them, I noticed the zipper working its way down until it is halfway down. I kept pulling it up but the movement of my leg pushed the zipper down. That is very disappointing to me. I cannot return them as I have had them 30 days and wore them but I still plan to call the company.
I do not recommend this product.

I walk to work, and these boots will not stay zipped. It seemed as though i was always forgetting to zip them initially. Yesterday i thought that maybe there was a snap or something that i'd missed. No matter how i try i can't tale credit for this design flaw.
I do not recommend this product.

Tried second pair purchased since the first pair would not stay zipped. walk 2 to 3 feet and need to zip up. Too bad, very comfortable but need to return. Back to the drawing boot for Columbia on these. Customer service is ace, paid for return.

I could have lived with the left boot, but the right boot was significantly bigger in the front half, too boxy, and my foot was slipping out of the boot as I walked.
Everything else about the boot seemed great, but I returned them.

This is my third pair of boots this winter. I returned the Powdered Down boots, because my toes got cold in them. I bought the Bugaboots to replace them. My feet seemed warm, but in the 1/4 mile walk to the bus stop, time standing at the bus stop (just standing, not moving around), the 1/4 mile back, these boots pressed against my shin and ankles so much I have red marks on them. I think I could have dealt with the shin pressing, but pressing against my ankle bone was very painful.
They are very stiff almost like a ski boot, I am not sure if more wear time to break them in would help, but I know boots shouldnt be painful. So back they go. I am very sad, I desperately need a pair of boots, to keep my feet warm and dry. I like to snowshoe and if I cant find boots to keep my feet warm, I am not a happy camper!
Activities: Trail, Other, Snowshoeing
Conditions: Snowy, Freezing
I do not recommend this product.

I purchased these boots because my feet are always freezing. So far they are warm and toasty (It has yet to snow)
I bought a half size up to accommodate socks and they fit great. They are lightweight for they type of boot and easy to walk distances in. They have good treads to minimize slipping over snow and ice. Customer service at Columbia was amazing in recommending the perfect boots for my needs. I will keep you posted on the boots once it snows
Conditions: City, Snowy, Rainy, Freezing
I would recommend this product.

I really like this boot however I do recommend buying a size bigger. I normally wear a 9 but had to get 9.5 because they run a little tight at the toes. I love how I can just slip them on and go. No laces to deal with. I wear them mostly to go sledding w/the kids, shovel snow here in Alaska, and every day walking outside on the slippery icey surface. Haven't fallen yet. I do recommend long, comfortable, thick socks because when I zip them up they tend to rub on my shins. If I don't zip them I'm fine so maybe it's because I have thick calves??? :)

Toasty Toes

They should call these boots toasty toes. They're roomy enough for large socks, but so far I haven't needed anything but the boots for my feet to remain perfectly warm. I've even taken to wearing them inside, they're so comfy.
I got to wear them in snow this morning and they were perfect.
I would recommend this product.
