Very well made
These are very well made, and are 100% water proof. The sides of the tongue are sewed into the shoe, so that if the water reaches up past the base of the shoe, it is still waterproof. They are very warm, but not too warm. And they are a little bulky but not overly bulky. These boots support the ankle very well and are extremely durable. Thesebare by far, worth the price I paid for them. Also, they are true to size and fit me perfectly.

Best Boots for Snowshoeing
I'd been trying to find boots for snowshoeing, and striking out for a variety of reasons. My SO got the men's version, and I was so impressed with him I wanted to get some for myself.These are great. They are truly waterproof, which I tested by keeping them covered with snow during 5 straight hours of snowshoeing in the middle of a sleet-filled winter storm. The grip is fantastic, and I never had issues walking across icy areas. They are comfortable, and stayed secure on my feet even going up and down steep climbs. And! Most importantly, my feet stayed warm.I'd say they run true to size. My feet are short, but wide, and I'm usually a 6.5W or a 7 when buying sneakers or flats. I have found I need to go up a bit for winter boots to accommodate thick socks. I had ordered both the 7 and 7.5, and both fit relatively comfortably, but there was slightly more constriction on the 7 (which can lead to cold feet)--so I went with the 7.5. I was worried I might experience some slipping, but I found that once they were laced well my feet stayed secure.One thing I really like about these is the lack of hotspots and pressure points. I was really struggling to find boots that didn't create a pressure point at my ankles or my big toe joints--but these are completely comfortable, and I've had no issues with pain.I really recommend these as winter boots, and am very happy with them.

Every boot fit differently
2nd Update:Am seriously in love. Wore all day today in a heavy thunderstorm. Put them on and forgot I was wearing the boots (since they look so bulky and heavy,) they're that comfortable. Absolutely comfortable, waterproof and warm.____Update: got the boots directly from Columbia today. The foot bed doesn't feel soft, but they fit perfectly and had zero defects unlike the 3 from Amazon.They're not pretty, but I wanted utilitarian boots with a grippy sole that are warm and sturdy for outside work in freezing weather with ice and snow.____I love these boots; the first pair I ordered - I go up a half size in Columbia boots from 7 to 7.5 - fit perfectly, were so cushy...loved them. The problem was a factory defect on the side where the sole is affixed to the boot. It really bugged me, so I exchanged for another.The second boot had serious factory defects, I didn't bother trying it on and exchanged for another. The third and final one--same size--was too short in the length, felt like a 7, there was no cushion on the footbed at all, it was hard and of course factory defects.I returned giving up and finally went to Columbia's site and bought there. They arrive tomorrow, will update as to quality and fit. Because I'm wondering if Amazon sells their factory defects, at least in this case or if they weren't produced well in the first place.

Warm but Stiff
I purchased these boots to keep my feet warm and dry when I'm outside in the snow. I like them but the boots are very stiff. The boot quality seems good. They don't look like they've been worn before which is great. The weight of the boots are kind of heavy too. The fit is good. I ordered my regular size shoe, 9 1/2. I only wear crew socks with them. These boots should last me a long time, since I'll only be using them doing the wintertime when it snows.

Best quality price ever. The most technical/estheticaly shoes I've ever tried.
Wow, just an amazing product , in my opinion the best ever, for technology, best quality, and estheticaly beautiful product: for snow, after ski, and winter mountain walk, hiking or use just for cold weather, also for city. I've also bought one of this bugaboot IV omni plus for my husbend. The size is as described. I have usually 6 I've bought 6,5 and it's fits good, have another small space in front area, so the shoes have very hood insulation, waterfroof, and heat inside its perfect, more I keep shoes more I feel warm. If you want to use in very cold weather high mountains you can use additional cachemire socks or wool socks just if you want to stay out longer in freezing weather. For city use its enough just normal cotton socks. But for me this system omni heat plus it's OK both with regular socks. The delivery very fast from US to EU. The best shoes raporting price/quality. 100% recomanded 5 stars.

The holy grail to women’s snow boots
These boots are amazing, they check all the boxes and they look amazing. Not only are they incredibly well made, stay 100 percent dry and warm, great traction, but I think they are super fashionable for a snow boot. I am normally a size nine and ordered a size 9 so true to size. I love the cushion around your foot and the ankle support is also amazing and makes you feel extra balanced on snow and slippery winter conditions. These boots have held up great and lasted years and gone on many adventures. Highly recommend these and your feet will be so happy

Solid boots
I bought these for my wife who is a mail carrier. She needed something that was going to actually be waterproof and rugged enough to handle all kinds of weather and terrain and these certainly fit the bill in every way. There was a bit of a break-in period because they are quite rigid when new, but we view the stiffness as a plus since my poor wife has a tendency to roll her ankles with more frequency than the average person might. Overall, she is very happy with them though.Pluses:WarmWaterproofComfortable insole cushioningRugged outsole with good tractionVery reasonably priced for the qualityNegatives:Quite stiff and snug fitting when new
