When that first snowfall of the year finally arrives, put your sneakers in the closet and bust out the Columbia Men’s Bugaboot Omni-Tech Winter Boot. This fully waterproof boot features 200 grams of Thinsulate insulation to keep your feet toasty down to 25 below, whether you’re shoveling the walk or snowshoeing through the woods. An Omni-Tech waterproof breathable membrane blocks moisture, and the AgIon antimicrobial footbed keeps smelliness at bay. The Techlite midsole and nylon shank provide cushioning and support, and the Omni-Grip rubber outsole sticks to icy sidewalks and snow-choked trails.
reasonably warm for a lightweight winter boot but the stiching where the leather upper meets the rubber foot failed on both boots, kind of expensive for one season of use
how does the fit of these boots compare to the fit of typical
how does the fit of these boots compare to the fit of typical running shoes ? Are people or the Columbia Sports company finding that these boots run big or small ?
Well, they're boots, not running shoes. They have a lot of insulation and therefore will feel very different from running shoes. Also, the entire construction is more rigid than running shoes. I don't suggest running in these for more than a few minutes. I haven't tried them in snowshoes yet, they might work well for that purpose.
I found that they run a touch small. I used to have a pair of 11.5 Columbia boots that fit perfectly, but the 11.5 size I ordered in this style was more snug. Hopefully they'll loosen up a little bit as I break them in.
as with the earlier post, the left boot developed a 2" vertical crack by my pinky toe, where the shoe bends when walking. the stitching where the rubber meets the leather pulled apart on the right boot.
mine were a couple models old. and i bought them several seasons ago, but had only worn them a couple times. i contacted columbia and they authorized an out-of-warranty replacement. it took almost two months from the time i shipped them, but customer service was very helpful and pleasant to deal with.
You're going to have to watch the site yourself. If you get on Live Chat, they'll tell you when the next shipment is coming in so you don't have to watch it constantly.
Lasted two seasons. First the rubber part vcracked and then the interface between the leather and the rubber came apart. Wish we had bought them here for the guarantee
Same thing happened to me with my two season old boots. I called Columbia and they said they would quickly send out a new replacement pair as long I send them a photo of the profile, treads and tongue label. No receipt necessary! Boots are out of warranty, but they said they will replace them anyway!
I just moved to New Hampshire from sunny South Florida, so snow boots were in order. (I write for boating magazines, so my deck shoes are my primary footwear down south.) I have a very wide foot. Everything I tried locally (all regular width) didn't fit, but I know my size exactly when available in wide. Backcountry was about the only place I found with boots I liked (these Columbias) in wide, and half-sizes to boot, so I ordered them, tried them on, and love them. They fit perfectly in both length and width in exactly the size I wear from Rockport (my boat shoes) and Rocky (my hiking boots.) They're easy to put on, too. The top lace clips grab the laces so they're easy to get just tight enough and then tie. Frankly, I wouldn't change a thing.
What is the width like on Columbia boots? I've tried on several
What is the width like on Columbia boots? I've tried on several North Face boots along with Sorrels. The only thing that had the appropriate width fit was Keen though the styling was not my flavor. Any other brands that fit wider than normal?
This is my second season with this boot, and (luckily) I can say that they have not failed, cracked, or gone bad in any way yet. They have been used for what I understand they were made for i.e. waling on snow. The boot is really comfortable, it can accommodate heavy socks if required with ease, the lacing system is not exactly intuitive to use, but once laced up it provides comfort and good support. As tested, it is Really worm. I tried sinking my feet in a snow covered iced on top water stream and couldn't believe that for a good few minutes that I was standing there (with the sole intention of removing the mad from the underside) I didn't feel the least bit of cold. So they are worm AND waterproof up to the unkle. I only hope they do not fall appart as many other reviewers have posted..
I work outside a lot. This is my second pair of Columbia boots. Yeah they cost a little more but well worth it. My feet stay dry and warm. I will always have at least one pair of Columbia boots. Backcountry has the best deals on these as well. I am very happy with my purchase.
