Bugaboot Footwear Rules
As an archaeological field surveyor, I spend hundreds of hours on my feet, much of it on difficult and often wet terrain. My choice in footwear while in the field can mean the difference between a punishing day with wet, cold feet. That is why I choose Columbia footwear and the Bugaboot series. I wore and earlier version of this boot for years, and for cold, wet and miserable weather, especially if one has to walk all day, there is simply no substitute for this boot. The new Bugaboot is even better!!! Comfortable right out of the box, this boot just makes your feet laugh!!!! <<<<Bruce>>>>

uncomfortable boots
i just bought a pair of your boots. @ first they were soar around the ankle area, i figured they have to break in a bit. ive worn them every day for 2 weeks now and they still hurt. they pinch me around the ankle area, where the two thick peices seperate, theres a little space in between and they pinch my ankles. i cant afford to buy a different pair so im just going to have to put up with it. next time i will have to try something different i will NEVER buy this perticulare pair ever again.

Worth every penny
Bought these for a ski trip to do some side hiking. They do run a size small. They are very warm at 28deg, great to walk in and good traction. They wouldn't do the -65 rating but buy large and throw a extra pair of socks and I bet they will do fine around -10. Great boot!!

Just A Great All Around Boot
This is the best boot out there, good for dress and fun. I'll probably order one more pair, one for just walking around and another to beat the heck out of. The color , height and weight is perfect and I like showing them off!! THANK YOU FOR A GREAT PAIR OF BOOTS.

Not the best for ice fishing
i used these boots ice fishing, i do not think they will hold out in -65 like they say, my feet got cold cold from standing on the ice, especially the bottoms, maybe they should put some of that omni shield on the bottoms to better help insulate the bottoms. Otherwise they are a very comfortable, light boot.

Very Happy
I bought these boots for my 16 year old - active outdoor - son. He absolutely loves the boots. He says they keep his feet warmer than they have ever been in a pair of boots. He is very happy with this purchase.

Keep those feet warm!
I belong to a Search and Rescue and I am training a Search and Rescue dog which requires me to be outdoors, day and night in all kinds of weather. On a recent training exercise, the dog we were running got a hit across a stream and much to my disappointment I found that my current boot were not waterproof, nor warm.
I immediately went searching for a new pair of boots and I debated back and forth between the regular Bugaboot and the XTM. I figured the warmer the better. I wear varying weights of wool socks in my boots, as well as bloused BDUS and I still get a very comfortable fit. I wear them everywhere now, not just out on my training exercises, I LOVE THESE BOOTS!

Good boot but not for long exposure to Antartic ice
These boots are great for working/hiking in pretty severe conditions. I do find that after standing on sea ice for a couple hours my feet do get chilly. Usually walking for a bit gets circulation going enough to warm me up again. Not sure how they will perform sitting in a tree stand but looking forward to the experiance. If I am in the U.S. for next deer season I will write another review.

Great set of boots
Bought these boots after reading good reviews online. Very happy with them so far. With trying a few pairs on in the store, found the exactly right size (run a little small). They fit perfect. They are nice and warm. Havent test them in anything below 20°F, but so far am extremely happy with them, the best pair of boots ive owned so far.
The only con i found, the plastic boot loops. I had one snap on the middle of the boot, the one between the open lacing ones, pulled too hard and it snapped. Tried lacing without that one on the other boot, and found it wasnt really needed. Just watch to make sure you dont pull on them too hard, like i did lol.

Excellent snow boots!
These were purchased for my husband and he loved them! His feet were warm and dry and he said they were very comfortable. They look great and are very well made.

Waterproof ?
This boot is not waterproof. Water will get inside the boot from the lace/tongue area. Mine are going back to be evaluated. Mine have gotten past the one year warranty for refund. So if you are going to buy them, and count on them to keep your feet dry, test them out at home first before you go out.

Needs thicker insulation
I'm working 800 miles from the South Pole. The coldest I've been out in these boots is -10F. I ordered these boots one size up only because I knew I was going to be wearing the thick wooly socks with them.
Pros: Lightweight for such a big boot (size 13). Great traction on the ice and snow. Excellent waterproofing too, I had to walk through some ankle deep slush and my feet remained dry. Also, after wearing these boots all day long (mostly indoors) my feet are dry so these boots breathe well. If you're going to be outside in the cold for short periods, these boots work ok. However, if you're going to be outside in them for a while...well, read below
Cons: Even though the boots have the Omni heat liner, they need more insulation. LOTS More After less than an hour working in the snow and ice while wearing these boots my feet got cold. I had to shift over to my Extreme Cold Weather (ECW) boots (big heavy clunky boots) that were issued to me to wear when I came to Antarctica. So you guys might want to reconsider that -65F icon that you put on the box that these boots came in.

Replace your Timberland with this boot.
Fit and style very nice. I'm just sorry the weather in Wash., D.C. isn't cold enough yet for me to wear more often.

They seem good, haven't really worn them yet.
The boots are kind of spacey, like a snowboard boot.
They seem to have space for a bit thicker socks, but they otherwise fit well.

Best boots owned to date!
These boots come up very high and offer great support when on the job.
