They're cute as heck. The tractions is awesome. My feet were always warm (I live in Alaska). I didn't need anytime to break them in. But they are NOT waterproof, and that upsets me to no end. The photos probably don't even show how soaked they are (nor will my Columbia socks), but it's ridiculous.

These are warm comfortable enough to wear all day, unless the snow starts melting. I work outdoors, so I was looking for something that was lightweight and also very warm. These hit both those marks well. The problem is that as soon as any slush appears my feet are quickly quite wet. This is unacceptable for a product at this price level that advertises that it is "waterproof". Very, very disappointing.

I am always looking for shoes that are comfortable for walking, and it has been a challenge to find a comfortable walking boot that is also warm, and looks good with jeans or leggings. These fit the bill. I am in love with Columbia's Omni Technology, owning 2 jackets and gloves already. I'm so pleased with these boots, wore them for the first snowfall in Chicago on 10/31. Thanks Columbia for always living up to my expectations!

I bought these for winter hiking/ walking with my dog. I live in the PNW, so we don't get much snow, but waterproofing was a must. These work fantastic! They're so comfortable that feel like slippers and provide great support and traction on mud, ice and wet or frozen terrain. There was no break in period. I normally wear a 9, but bought a 9.5 which for better with the fur lining and winter socks.

Perfect replacement for my Uggs. Comfortable and waterproof. Love that they carry my size, 12, and don't make my foot look huge! Easy to slip on and head out.

If you were ever on the fence on getting these, especially if you've been looking at them online.. please just take my word for it and grab these boots before they're gone! I can't tell you how LIGHTWEIGHT and COMFORTABLE the Columbia Minx Shorty III Boots are! They do run small, so you might have to go up a half or even a whole size.. but that'll give you enough room for your feet to be cozy. And this is coming from a women who is wide-footed. You can wear normal socks with these boots because the faux fur lining inside keep your feet warm and dry, (not to mention how stylish the faux fur is peaking up at the top of the boots). These were helpful during the winter when going out to run errands and wrangling the kids during snow days, my feet were always comfortable and never hurt, even though having worn them for hours on end. The top of the boots hit mid-calf and did not restrict movement around my ankles like some heavy winter boots do. If Comfort, Lightweight and Stylish is what you look for in a boot, look no further!

Good quality, fashionable, comfortable waterproof boot with or without a sock.
Good sole traction and cushion.
As others have noted, it runs small--a full size too small for me (without a sock) which was a bit of a hassle for this online order.
Would definitely recommend.

Wore these boots all day long while traveling and while on vacation in CO. Warm and comfortable. If you don't overtighten the laces, they are easy to slip in and out of for convenience. I normally wear 6.5 - 7 in shoes; but based on other reviews I first ordered a 7.5 and I found this still to tight so I re-ordered an 8. Perfect! I was able to wear any thickness sock and be comfortable. Love the army green color too.

I purchased these in November of 2019 and recently walked in a grassy field while it was raining. After about 5 minutes, they had soaked completely through on my right foot. I had worn these in snow and rain many times before, but after only having them for about 6 months they were no longer waterproof.

I bought these boots for my wife for a trip to Big Bear you can tell right away the good quality and the thicker material, she said she'll like them better than some of the other versions of this boot because they are warm and won't allow water to pass through.
