    Not at all what was expected

    When we were looking for winter boots, we ended up at the Columbia girls' boots and our daughter (6 years) is super happy with them. Not only the feet stay warm & dry at minus temperatures (wet or snow) no, the boots are also feather light! We would buy the shoes again at any time.

    Pros
    • You are beautiful!!! It's very difficult for me to find shoes because my feet are too small, I take risks and I work perfectly.
    Cons
    • None of the zippers on the boots work. Ridiculous for $70 kids shoes.

    Not waterproof best in my rating

    I love Columbia, but these boots aren't exactly waterproof. First, they fit about one size smaller. They were great lightweight boots for walking on firm snow, but once I stepped into loose snow and my feet were covered I could feel the snow seeping through the seams into the boots. Not suitable for snowmobiling or snow hiking. I would return them if I could.

    Pros
    • La bota es preciosa y cumple todo traspiraable pero impenetrable. Son of the genius Suela no Resbalan.
    Cons
    • Non-vegan materials used in construction

    Quite narrow - my new review

    I read several reviews where these shoes were recommended for wide feet, but after buying them I found out that this is not true, the shoes are warm and water-repellent (but not waterproof), but they don't fit my wide foot , they simply print on the sides and they are definitely not for high margins either. I then took out the insole and it was much more comfortable to wear and still kept them warm (because the blood circulation in the feet was much better). But the quality is good and if…

    Pros
    • Delivered on time + the product conforms to the seller's description.
    Cons
    • Expensive

    unfortunately not for wide feet

    These $100 boots have to be waterproof! I bought them in December, it's mid-March and the water is coming through the side seams and now it's too late for a refund :(

    Pros
    • My child wore out the last pair and wanted more. Who am I to complain when they actually wear boots in winter!
    Cons
    • Minimal educational or social brand impact

    Not waterproof in my rating

    I have a women's version of this model and was happy so I bought my son this in black. I don't know if we have a defect but they weren't waterproof.

    Pros
    • Warm, cute and good quality! My daughter loves them and appreciates that they aren't big "chunky" boots.
    Cons
    • sent back. Daughter changed her mind

    Great snowshoe! in my rating

    My daughter loves these boots! They are easy to put on and take off, very comfortable and warm. She had a couple that she outgrew. I was happy to see that they are still in production and available in their size. She was so happy to be able to replace her old pair with an equally comfortable one!

    Pros
    • They are beautiful, durable and the color never fades.
    Cons
    • May be uncomfortable if worn for long periods

    Not waterproof! But comfortable and light, flexible sole

    They say they are waterproof but they are not. Comfortable, light and flexible sole, which is important for the proper development of the foot and the child's walking. Too bad they are not waterproof as they should be.

    Pros
    • I love Colombian products. They were small and had to be returned.
    Cons
    • Works too little

    great review from me

    I bought them for my daughter. She said they were very comfortable and kept her feet dry and warm while she was out in the snow. I am very happy with this purchase.

    Pros
    • These are great non bulky boots for my son. He likes wearing them and they don't slow him down!
    Cons
    • Limited information on building materials

    Good buy .....: my review

    Bought these for my daughter and she is very happy with the result. The boots really keep your feet warm without complaint. The waterproof performance is great for playing in the snow for a long time. I could change the insoles later, although she complained that her feet hurt after a 10 minute walk, she might need to break in her insoles as well.

    Pros
    • A gift for a child who doesn't live nearby! Warm feet!
    Cons
    • Limited availability in larger sizes

    Tight at the ankle for my rating.

    My child has skinny chicken legs and small feet but fairly large ankles (by comparison). These boots fit everywhere except the ankle. They were so tight at the ankle that we could hardly put them on. Otherwise they looked very good, I was disappointed.

    Pros
    • They are of good quality.
    Cons
    • Limited information on sustainable or ethical production

    My picky kid loved these boots!

    My daughter has all sorts of "problems" with shoes and their "fit". She was so happy with these boots! The best part for her was that she just had to put them on and take them off with no hassles! Her feet were always warm and dry, even after a walk in the snow. Highly recommended!

    Pros
    • Perfect and supportive will
    Cons
    • May not be suitable for outdoor activities

    Fits right on the bridge

    A very unusual fit. I found there was too much room in the toe box (too long) and just not enough room on the top of the foot (toe). But the boot is very warm, light and offers good traction. The zipper tends to get stuck in the inner fabric, but the fabric is designed to keep moisture out of the shoe. A size 7 for big kids fits a size 8.5/9 adult female except I had issues with the vamp and have to use the vamp adjuster to improve the fit.

    Pros
    • Winter boots
    Cons
    • There are new competitors

    Soft, firm, good quality.

    Bought for my 9 year old daughter. She is very small! These boots are definitely tight. They fit my daughter as she has such narrow feet. Winter isn't here yet, so I can't comment on warmth or water resistance. They are definitely of good quality! Light and has a practical zipper. My kid can put them on and off without using the zipper, which is convenient for school. I am happy with the purchase! I will comment again when winter comes and she will be playing in the snow on the playground.

    Pros
    • Clothing, shoes and jewelry
    Cons
    • Questionable purchase for the elderly

    Lightweight, waterproof and warm

    When my son was 5 years old he noticed the new full neoprene Bogs boots I received and he liked them and wanted a pair. All in black and with a silky thin plush lining. It has long outgrown the neoprene children's boots that Bogs make. All large children's sizes are partly made of rubber, neoprene only on the shaft. Too heavy and clunky for my kid. I saw them this year and just knew they were the answer! They are soft and flexible and keep you as warm as neoprene, but are completely waterproof,

    Pros
    • Outdoor
    Cons
    • Ugly packaging
