Columbia Bugaboot III XTM

First off I want to say that it's BS when people give a one star because the size they ordered was too small. People who give one stars because they had a bad delivery or things being too small doesn't tell you anything about the product and they shouldn't review the product. Yes the boots are tall and the laces go all the way up but I have no problem getting my foot in. I got these to replace the Columbia titaniums I bought back in 2003. I wore those boots for almost 20 years, not many people can say that. They're comfortable they're warm they're little heavier than my old boots but that's because they have more insulation. Even though the boots go up pretty high on your leg they feel like they're broken in already. When you pull up on the laces the laces stay where they are at, which is nice when you're trying to tighten them. They're nice and soft I don't feel like I can't bend my ankle. Very well made. Quality is top notch. I paid $283 for my last Columbia boots, so getting these for $120 is awesome. Not to mention how nice they look. One of the best things is they don't scuff easy they feel like I have two tanks on my feet. Columbia makes very good products it's one of the companies you can always depend on getting the best quality but not overly expensive. They do run small but if you get the right size you'll be extremely happy about the purchase. I live in Colorado so having a nice pair of snowshoes is a must. If you're on the fence about buying them just do it you might have to return it once to get a size that fits you perfect but it's worth it and you won't be disappointed.

This was a great purchase. I (a woman) had to get these because I am really sensitive to cold and it was my first time in temperatures -15 Celsius. These boots were incredible, kept my feet warm most of the time and dry all the time. I went through really deep snow with these and had no issues! Sizing was tricky for me because they are really snug on the inside (they have extra cushion on the sides) and they were men’s sized, but I ended up getting the same size I normally wear (Women’s 8) and they fit perfectly with merino wool socks. Note that these are taller than other boots and a bit heavy, so it may not be comfortable if you’re not used to that. I did use them for hiking and you can feel the weight at times. Overall great product, 100% recommend for trips to really cold places or with a lot of snow!

The Columbia Bugaboot III XTM is an outstanding winter boot that delivers exactly what it promises. Build quality is excellent, with rugged materials that hold up well in harsh winter conditions. The insulation keeps feet warm even in extreme cold, and the waterproof construction performs reliably in snow, slush, and wet environments. Traction is solid, providing confidence on icy and uneven surfaces, and the boot remains comfortable for extended wear. One important note for sizing: these boots run small. I strongly recommend ordering at least one full size up, and possibly two sizes up if you plan to wear thicker winter socks or prefer a more comfortable fit. Overall, this is a high-quality, dependable winter boot that performs exceptionally well in cold weather. Highly recommended, as long as you size up appropriately.

They definitely run a bit small. I normally wear a 10 to 10.5. I went with 11. They are a bit tight, but I'm pretty certain it's just due to the insane amount of insulation in these things. They are so warm! I think breaking them in will make them fit just right. Also, going too big would move the arch on the insole further up which would make them really uncomfortable. As far as quality goes, these things are fantastic. They are built so well...not too heavy despite feeling really durable. I have no complaints!

The sizing runs extremely small and the boots are narrow.

While the boot seemed to be well-built, it was about 1.5 sizes too small.

Better than I could imagine. I bought these for a 10 day trip to Norway in January. I never thought about my feet once. One pair of wool socks and my feet were always warm. I did miles of walking. I did add heel cushion pads but otherwise crazy warm and comfortable. THEN typical New England weather, snow all night, rain all day. The parking lot in my building flooded and my car was covered in heavy wet snow. I was truly up to my ankles in a puddle. Foot part of the boot completely submerged. Once I cleared the snow I went to the store with 100% dry socks and feet. Super warm North of the Arctic Circle in January and TOTALLY waterproof. I can't recommend these highly enough. If you need Winter boots, stop looking and buy these.

When I first got the boots I took a good close look at them, and they seem to be made very well. There's no snow yet, however I did try them on for fit. I used a very thin pair of non-insulated socks, and once I was able to get them on, I could immediately feel the warmth of the boot, this due to the 600 g of insulation. I think they will perform as advertised. I had read some of the reviews regarding this boot, and the only complaint that I noted was that several people mentioned the fact that the boot runs small. I took that into account, and ordered a half size larger than I normally wear, and it was just a bit too tight. There's a sizing chart accompanying the description, disregard it. If they had their way about things, you'd never get a right fit. Having said all that, I will say that for the price they're definitely worth it and will be ordering another pair as we get closer to winter.

You don't regret

Update! I reordered the item after a 2nd change to another model. After more than 1 week using them, I can say these boots are great for snowy days, waterproof and looks good. My suggestion to those interested on buying them: buy at least 2 sizes more than what you use. The size chart is not helpful at all! I trusted that chart and lost 4 days waiting for these boots just to figure it out that I had to return them. If you think of buying this product, consider between 1/2 to 1 extra size.

Great boots. Very warm and dry. I went a size up and they are just about the right size. They may stretch over time, but I would still go at least a size bigger. Comfortable from the first wear.

Vienen muy reducidas, sobre todo del empeine. A pesar de que pedí un número más grande que mi talla usual. Ya las usé desde mediados de enero y hasta ahora no se aflojaron, me siguen apretando mucho del empeine. Son cálidas, pero no tanto como promocionan.

Extremely well-made boots, stiff uppers for good ankle support and easy to put on. The construction is second to none. NOTE: they run small so order a size larger. I take a size 10 so 11 fits right. Highly recommended.
