ColumbiaMen's Bugaboot III Snow Boot

I purchased these due to reviews (professional, not Amazon buyers) warmth and comfort. It is unreal how comfy these things are and although being high boots, how easy it is to slip the foot in and out. I almost want to wear them when it's not cold (but rainy/muddy) just based on that.I will say the foot support seems semi flat and my feet got tired just wearing these to break in a bit while unpacking furniture and moving storage bins around. (then again, I've had some foot issues during my move so may be unfair to say). Still, i got the "Disney foot ache" feels from wearing these and using thsee just a cuple hours.This coudl also be that the boots are slightly a size up from comfort, but i'd rather that than a tight squeeze to get these on/off when it gets more inclimate. (im' new to this).So I love them and appreciated the "try before you buy" and bought immediately after slipping them on.

I try and walk my dog every day when the weather is tolerable. Once the snow arrived, I realized that the waterproof leather hiking boots I already owned wouldn't work. While they were amply warm and dry, the synthetic soles - even with the 'lug' tread pattern - were extremely slippery, so I started looking around for a better 'winter walking boot' (and we have snow on the ground for around 5 months of the year). I decided to give these Columbia boots a try.While I normally wear a 10 1/2 medium-width size shoe/boot, based on the input from other reviews, I ordered a size 11 (1/2 size larger) and also the 'wide' width rather than the 'normal' width.The boots arrived the other day. I tried them on and was glad I ordered a 1/2 size larger than normal. With heavier socks on, it gave me about 1/2" of room in front of my toes. The wider width also helped...no 'tightness' along the sides of my feet - and even if the insulation compresses over time, there is enough adjustment in the laces to further tighten the fit.Wore them the other morning when I went to walk my dog. Temperature was around 16 degrees and there was about an inch of fresh snow on top of hard-packed snow and ice on the streets. Once the boots 'cooled' (to the outside temp), traction was pretty good...still had to be careful in areas where underlying ice coated the streets. We walked about a mile and a half that morning. Feet were warm and dry and boots felt comfortable even though they're not 'broken in' yet. I was initially concerned about the 'height' of the boots (i.e. cutting into my shins when I walked) but this didn't happen...and the additional 'height' actually kept snow from getting inside the boots.One thing I noticed is that the 'lining' of the boots (like the 'lining' of other cold weather boots I have) is a fabric that makes it a little more difficult to 'slide' your feet into and out of the boots. To remedy this, I normally slip one of those thin plastic throwaway shopping (grocery) bags over my socks which makes it easier to slide your feet in and out. Also, if your feet 'sweat' while your walking, these bags will keep the boot linings dry.After I've had these boots for awhile I may update this review if I notice something worth mentioning.

These Boots are very insulated and high quality must have if you're doing snow removal in winter

Buena calidad, excelente producto

Bought these for a Mammoth trip this past weekend. We arrived late in the evening and it was 14°.Kids wanted to play in the snow in all their new gear.Put these on and walked/played in the snow for over an hour.My feet stayed warm and dry.The next day Family went snowboarding, and I stood and watched them outside in the windy cold for 5 hours. It was 19°. Mostly just shuffling or taking a few steps, my feet stayed warm and dry throughout the day. I was intentionally putting the boots into the deeper parts of the powder snow. They still stayed warm and dry.They are comfortable to wear and the fit for me was good. Initially, I thought they were a little big but after putting on icebreaker socks, which were not thick, probably more medium, the fit was good and they were comfortable for the entire day of wearing them approx 7-8 hours.My size is normally 12 and I went with a 12 wide. With the icebreaker sock, it was perfect.The grip was 8.5/10. I only felt a few times on the ice where I felt a little slippery but people should be a bit careful walking on the ice no matter what normal boot they are wearing. In the snow they get a 10/10They are easy to cinch or loosen while wearing.The quality of the boot is outstanding. Not a single flaw in the manufacturing of them imho.All in all this boot served its purpose very well.Warm, windproof, and waterproof. They keep you dry. 100%Extremely happy with these boots.

Very good product comfortableWater proof

Used these for some BASE Jumping and they’re awesome

The boots are good boots. I needed a new pair, my last ones were the same brand name.I just the same size as before.1 minor hack l recommend for these boots is to tie a knot on the laces.If you don't they can easily slip through the loops.

Las compré del número 12US (yo soy 8.5Mx) y me aprietan....

Ottimi scarponi da neve, un po' rigidi ma si cammina comunque bene. Hanno un buon grip, sono caldi e assolutamente impermeabili.Ho preso lo stesso numero di un paio di scarpe da trekking Columbia che possedevo e vestono bene anche con doppia calza.

Tenía unas botas viejas salomon con las que pase frío un día tras una ruta en la nieve, por lo que estuve buscando varias botas en Internet.Vi muchas botas de nieve de marcas variadas pero ninguna con esta relación calidad/precio por lo que me animé y las compré.Son muy altas, perfectas para la nieve.Me las puse con unas polainas en mi siguiente ruta y no pase frío. Tenía los pies calientes.Son rigidas pero se anda bien con ellas.El único pero que le pondría es que no tienen buena adherencia en el hielo, algo que ya había leído en otros comentarios, pero no me parece algo que me haga devolver las botas.La próxima vez que vaya de ruta llevaré unos crampones de los que se enganchan a la bota con una goma.Las recomiendo por diseño, por precio, por calidez y porque son perfectas para la nieve.En cusnto a la talla, yo utilizo un 44 en zapato y un 45 en zapatilla de deporte. Pedí un 45 y va bien con calcetín gordo.

Questa scarpa è l essenza della montagna, impermeabile comoda e adatta ad ogni superficie ,soffre su terreni con pietre

The Columbia bugaboot iii. Arrived today, because of previous reviews saying go one size up, I did. Normally I'm 9.5 I got the 10.They fit perfectly with ski socks on.The tongue comes practically to the top of the boot, which lessens the the chance of water or melting snow ingress.They are light with a really thick sole which has lots of bounce. Overall I am very impressed. Maybe a bit of fabric waterproofing further down the line for the tongue area. Other than that well worth the £73 pounds.
