Columbia mens 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.

Short story, order two sizes larger. They run small small. Long story, I read the reviews and I ordered one size larger, way too small. Reordered two sizes larger, it’s snug, not uncomfortably snug though. I’m happy. Warm, comfortably, a little stiff (to be expected). Tbh I wear cowboy style boots normally 9.5 wide, ended up with size 11.5. They’re comfortable with most socks I’d wear with them. Great grip, great feel. Yeah, the laces are a pain but if you’ve got deep snow, these are the choice. Fit under snow pants well. Overall 9:10.

Nice and warm. Out snowmobiling at -30° and didn't feel the least bit cold. They do run on the small side. I have a 12 from yrs ago and needed a 14! in 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.

The boots are waterproof from the outside. Water and snow don’t get in, so that part is good. The problem is that they are not breathable at all. My feet get very sweaty, and when I take the boots off, my socks are completely soaked, like I dipped them in water. They are also not comfortable. The boots feel hard and stiff, not soft, and they hurt my feet after wearing them all day. I wore them for a few days hoping they would break in, but they didn’t get any softer. Another issue is drying. The inside stays wet for a long time. Even after 12 hours, they were still really wet inside, and one morning I tried to put them on and they were still soaked. Good waterproofing on the outside, but overall not comfortable and not good for daily wear.

These run really small. I’m normally about a 10.5 and I had to go with a size 12. They are also hard to put on since they don’t have pull tabs and also the laces use holes all the way up rather than hooks on the top half which would make it easier to right adequately. They are very warm though

Don’t rely on the size chart—it’s not accurate. Luckily, I checked the reviews before buying and ordered one size up. The shoes are great quality: very warm, with soft soles that feel comfortable. I really like the high-top style. They’re suitable for cold weather, but not limited to snowy conditions. The only downside is that the laces are a bit short, so I’ll be replacing them with longer ones.

More confirmation that the sizing on these is very bad. I typically wear an 11.5 and went with a 13. They're too small. The exterior length of these is 13". The interior length is probably 1/4" - 1/2" short of what's needed for my 11.25" foot, and it's painful across the top of the foot. The boots are rigid in the ankles, making it hard to walk. They do not open very wide and lack a quick-lacing system, which makes them hard to get on and off.

Perfect boots and surprisingly lightweight! My size is 45, ordered 46 and it fits exactly, without any pressure on my toe. probably cos of thick insulation. Hopefully thicker wool sock won't make any issues, otherwise i would better go 47 eu, but no time to wait.

You don't regret

Seems like a quality boot but the sizes definitely run very small. I normally wear an 11.5 but ordered a 13 after reading previous reviews. I would not have been able to get into anything smaller. 13 fits snug but comfortable.

Good quality, well made and good insulation but too small/tight. Could be standard size footbed but padding/insulation squeezes feet. Would suggest going at least half a size up. Had to return.

Not as expected. Quality is ok. Over prised tripicaly snow boot, not suggested for trekking or hiking in india. It will over worm your feets in low altitude treaking, and could not be used in ice region.
