Columbia Women's Bugaboot Plus Omni-Heat Michelin Snow Boot

The fit is like a ski boot, pushing you forward, uncomfortable to walk in. The claim of warmth up to 35 below is untrue, I live in Maine, I am a mail carrier and in the cold for hours (4-6) daily. Recently we had an attic cold that lasted two weeks, temps as cold as 25 below to 15 above freezing. These boots did not keep my feet warm, added socks didn’t help, my toes were actually turning blue and blistering. I will never buy a Columbia boot again.

Update 1/2021: These boots continue to amaze. During my trip to Alaska, they provided amazing traction on slippery ice and kept my feet toasty warm. They also prevented a twisted ankle when sneaky uneven ground was concealed by fluffy snow.The boots made me confident enough that I walked around a ton, and they’re very comfortable. The puffy tongue and high laces made sure that, when I unexpectedly found myself knee-deep in snow, none got inside.——-I love these boots. I'm a native Californian, so when my job sent me to Wisconsin in February, I thought I was going to die.Enter these boots.Despite eight inches of snow, I am still the proud owner of two feet, ten toes, and zero broken bones. The boots were grippy enough to keep me upright, and surprisingly lightweight. I also had a blast clomping through the drifts, because they are delightfully stompy, and kept my feet completely dry. They are very rigid on the back spine, which I presume is to help with not falling...? (I don't know these things, I don't live in an arctic tundra). So if you're looking to be able to point your toes, these are not your shoes. I, however, had zero interest in performing snow ballet, so they worked out perfectly.

I've ordered a 9.5 size for a few years-I usually wear a 9, but have had toe surgery and have continued sensitivity in one foot--so I ordered a 9.5 and it was too small. I ordered a size 10 as well--and that fit much better even with my heavier thicker wool socks. I would recommend ordering up half a size for anyone. Boot overall was really nice-lightweight-not overly bulky looking. I don't know yet how the boot is in cold weather yet...just got it, haven't been able to try it out yet.

Too heavy, bulky and uncomfortable. Went on quite a few long hikes this winter, and my toes were constantly freezing and I was getting blisters each time. They should work fine for short walks/shoveling the snow from your driveway, but they're absolutely the most uncomfortable boots when it comes to hiking.Will have to buy different boots next winter.

These really are great in rain, mud and snow, good traction so far. They are stiff to walk in and kneel down in, my feet do feel a bit cold even with socks on. I'm just glad I don't have to wear them every day, I love going bear footed most of all. If you want good boots that keep out water, mud and snow these are it.

Love the boots, but do fit a bit small.

Great fit and comfort. and keeps my feet toasty warm.They are also very light and easy to slip on. Great buy. and Highly recommended.

They look and feel qualitative. But the leg and the foot sit in them as in the skating boot, very rigid, not flexible at all. Should be definitely good for mountain hiking, but I bought them for casual use. Hope, I'll get used to them

It was my fault to order something which does not offer free returns without making sure it will fit. But, the sizing is off, it is too small, and you will end up paying 39 euro for sending it back because of course you have purchased it from Amazon and so the local Columbia shops will not help you with getting a size up due to inventory reasons. 2 stars because it is a Columbia, so it is of course of high quality. Without free returns it isn't worth the hassle, this time, don't buy the shoes, move on.

Few things went wrong with these boots.First of all,the boots i received are with 200g insulation and not 400g as the description provided in Amazon.I had not enough time to return them and get new ones so i was stuck with them.I brought them with me in Lapland and I regret it.They are so stiff and uncomfortable that gave me black bruises on the calves and ankles.Every step i make is painful despite the size is correct (a ordered one size bigger).As far as performace is concered, the temperature is -16C and i am marginally ok with toes starting to get cold after an hour or so.(They are rated for performance -32C according to the manufacturer). I really hate them for being unusually unconfortable

Bota híbrida de nieve, senderismo y raquetas que hemos llegado a usar con éxito en un modelo juvenil comprado hace un año. Es una buena bota multiuso. Llega un par de dedos por encima del tobillo y tiene una suela especial Goodyear. El modelo anterior que hemos usado tiene una suela de tacos que es suficiente para tener buena tracción en nieve no muy dura y helada pero que no es completamente segura en hielo. Esta suela es como un pneumático y parece adecuada para nieve polvo y blanda. Hay que tener en cuenta el grosor y altura a la hora de comprar crampones. La bota no aguanta la temperatura anunciada pero es caliente hasta aproximadamente - 10/-12 grados Celsius con una media de lana. La plantilla es generosa en los dedos y el número es normal, no es mayor de lo esperado. El aislamiento aluminizado interno está expuesto en un par de puntos y no sería raro que se desgastara o rompiera. Me preocupa. La lengüeta frontal viene cerrada hasta el empeine y da seguridad frente a nieve derretida atrapada en los pliegues pero.... no sé si es resistente al uso y abrasión largo tiempo. Para un comprador nacional es una bota cara y no reemplazable cada dos temporadas, como en el país de la marca. La he comprado en rebajas a muy buen precio ( menos de 40€) pero sólo porque es un número inhabitual (un medio número) y un color francamente poco atractivo para una bota de señora. El envío con Prime llevó varios días, vino embalada en la misma caja de las botas y en principio, fué correcto. Es un poco rígida en el empeine y la caña, recoje bien el talón, y el material da una excelente impresión, aunque presenta puntos flacos ya mencionados. Actualizaré la revisión tras el invierno, aunque el modelo que ya usamos ha dado una primera temporada bastante positiva.

Da ich am Lift arbeite während der Wintermonate, fiel die Wahl auf diesen Stiefel. Ich kaufte die "Damenversion", weil er bis auf die Schnürsenkel identisch ist mit dem Herrenstiefel. Nur der Preis war über 40 Euro günstiger.Da dies nicht mein erster Columbia Stiefel war und ich schon vom ersten den ich hatte begeistert war, fiel meine Wahl auf diesen Stiefel.Ich arbeite in 1600 bis 2000m Höhe und somit den ganzen Tag in Minusgraden. Bleibt man ewig auf der Stelle stehen, werden die Füße genau so kalt wie in jedem anderen Stiefel auch. Aber nach 5min Bewegung wird es richtig warm im Bugaboot. Er war die komplette Saison Wasserdicht und absolut bequem zu tragen.Was die Socken betrifft sollte man darauf achten nur Baumwollsocken oder Wollsocken zu benutzen. Mit Socken die Kunstfasern enthalten, bekommt man sofort die berühmten Käsefüße.Ein Hammerstiefel, nächste Saison kommt wieder ein Bugaboot her.Absolute Kaufempfehlung

Habe den Schuh aufgrund der positiven Bewertungen bestellt. Leider fand ich ihn am Fuß nicht bequem, auch die Passform hinsichtlich der Breite war knapp! So ging er leider Retour!
