Customer Reviews Columbia Minx™ Slip II Omni-Heat™

This shoe is not water proof not even snow proof, when I step in any wet area, I feel my feet is always some thing is not right, my toe is feeling wet and cool, so I put my hand inside the shoe, it is wet, but now a lot , just enough to make you feel uncomfortable, the description said it is water proof, which is not true at all. the shoe itself is comfortable to wear, but the inside of the shoe is not insulated enough, so if it is a 50F range weather, the feet is hot, but if the weather go below 0, the feet is very cool.

Of course I read all the reviews on these and many other boots. Most important to me was the boot being waterproof. The second criteria was easy to put on. The third was being warm and comfortable in well below freezing temperatures. We have just had a week long outage of power here in Tennessee after a big ice storm. I wore these boots constantly to tend to my horses and pull snapped tree limbs out of our 1/2 mile long driveway. Passed with flying colors on all counts. My feet were warm, dry and comfortable. I read about the sizing of the boots and that worried me. I normally wear a size 6 1/2 women's but sometime wear a 7 in the cheaper shoes. So I ordered a size 7 1/2. When I first put them on I was concerned they were a little tight. So I wore my thinnest socks in them for a few days and then switched to my everyday socks which are the World's Softest Socks. These socks are a medium thickness and very soft. They do fine, the boots don't feel too tight and have formed to my feet. I'm going to get another pair because I don't think I will find another boot that feels this good and is waterproof. I've been through ice, and the tread grips, slush, and my feet are dry, single digit temps and my feet are warm. Overall a great boot.

I love these boots! They helped me through the crazy Boston winter of 2015. And I'm still wearing them. They're warm, not hot, totally waterproof and slip proof, easy on and off. And light. Can walk all day in them, through rain sleet snow, rivers of ice water and they resist salt. and I don't feel too dorky in them. Best boots ever. GET THESE.

This boot is warm and light-weight. Perfect for days with less snow, as well as the days following snow when the streets are still mucky but do not require heavy duty snow boots.

The best thing about these boots is a cantilever in the heel. It creates a nice bounce and cushion for walking. The boots are warm but not as warm as the rating would suggest.

Light as a feather. Have not worn in elements yet but they are toasty. Very comfy and true to size. I ordered 7 and will still have room for thicker sock if needed. Can't wait for first snow fall to see how they do.

I purchased these boots for warmth and protection for my feet from weather. Mostly purchased for work, I found myself wearing them for all occasions possible because they are so comfortable, keep my feet warm, and also keep them protected from weather. Loved them so much I am ordering them in black as well. I get compliments on them almost daily! Maybe I should get a discount on the second pair?

Love these boots! They are lightweight, flexible and comfortable. The footbed is very thick and offers moderate arch support, and is removable if you need to use custom orthotics. The boots are easy to get on and off with the zipper, which is constructed to keep water out. I like that they are roomy enough to tuck in the leg of your pants if preferred, and I can even wear my foot/ankle braces with these when I need to walk a lot in the rain. They were not too hot on an average rainy day, but I think they would still be warm enough once the temps really drop this winter.

Nice boot-- but they run SO SMALL! I usually wear an 8, and ended up returning them b/c in this I need a 9. A 9.5 would also have worked. Not sure what last they're using, but this is ridiculous!

I needed a simple pair of boots that I could walk one block in and then stand in the cold schoolyard while my kid played for 1-2 hours (and possibly run, if I had to). Pros: •low profile/not bulky •comfortable enough to walk one block •easy on/off •inexpensive compared to other boots I was looking at. Cons: •not one iota of support. My arches and very small bunions SCREAM in this boot if I walk further than a block (I squeezed in some arch support which has been somewhat helpful). Also, after 2 weeks of wearing them, my arches roll inward like people’s feet in Uggs. I have high arches. •Not warm. I’m not sure what people consider warm, but if after an hour in 35-40 degree weather my toes are frigid (with med-heavy winter socks), I cannot consider these warm. Some shearling inserts could possibly help, but then I’d have the no support issue. Note that these run small. I’m a 6.5 and go up to 7 for boots to accommodate thick socks. I needed a 7.5 for these.
