Customer Reviews Columbia Vallara II™

Love them - These are great boots. Easy on and off with the front zip. I got them in pink and get compliments every time I wear them. They are really comfortable and warm - but not crazy warm. My first, but not my last, Zappos purchase. Amazing service... came the next day!

Great Buy - I wanted boots that would keep my feet warm and dry and that were nice looking enough that I could leave them on at work...and these are perfect.

Best boot I've found in years! This is a great boot...highly recommended. Several hours went by in cold WI weather before I realized I hadn't thought about my feet once...that's how warm and comfortable they were. I have a bad back and these provided good support. They are stylish enough that, if needed, you could wear them under your slacks or jeans. Less stiff and lighter in weight than other Columbia boots I've tried.

Warm and waterproof - Our daughter, who grew up in northern New England, took these with her for the winter she is spending in northern Russia. Her report back to us on these boots was, "The boots are working really, really well. They are the warmest I've ever had and completely waterproof."

Love them! I’ve only just received these today, & it's actually the beginning of summer over here in CO...but this is the best time to shop for snow boots if you want a great price. I ordered these in a 6.5, which is what I typically would get, & these boots fit just right, snuggly warm. They do seem stiff as I walked around the house w/ them on, but I think that'll eventually improve w/ wear. Very very cute...they make my feet look small, & the thick soles give me enough of a lift to feel a bit taller. I’m looking forward to the winter now!

Love the shoe, Love the service. I was very impressed with the service. I received the first pair soon after I had placed the order. There was a flaw in one shoe and when I called to have it replaced the sales person was very helpful and sent out a new pair. This pair arrived before I had even sent away my first pair. (I couldn't part with it despite the flaw!) These shoes are great. They are very warm and are so comfortable I keep them on all day instead of only using them when walking to and from work as was the plan!

Sparkle Vallara II - Very cozy and comfortable- just a bit stiff. Light violet color exactly as shown. Zappos selection, service and no shipping cost is the BEST.

Vallara's are great! Enjoy the boot overall. Only thing that annoys me is the zipper comes down from time to time and my leg rubs on the front tongue of the boot. Overall awesome and VERY WARM boot for the outdoor traveler!

Very Pleased - This was a X-mas gift for my wife and she loved it. We both liked the fact that the boot looked a little feminine but without an over aggressive tread. Perfect for her need at the cabin. I purchased the buff color.

Winter boots you must own! Before buying these boots I read countless reviews and each praised it's features. I ordered a pair for myself and I am in love with them! Not only do they keep my feet warm without getting sweaty but they also looks great with jeans. They are really lightweight and are offered in several colors. I highly recommend buying a pair!

The boots are quality material have a nice lining and are very warm even here in Vermont where the weather changes daily. They get good traction, I think; for the cost they are one of the best pair of boots I have purchased in a long time

Wow! Warm Boot - I didn't know there was a shoe made that would keep my feet so warm! My feet have been cold my entire life and I wish I had known! I ordered an 8, which is my normal size, but the boot does slip a bit on my heel. Plenty of toe room for wiggle even with wool socks. I would order a 7 1/2 next time. Great boot though!

Looks and Goods - These boots are fantastic - They repel the moisture, they are fashionable, AND they are warm! What a steal!

Just what I needed in northern Michigan! I had been wearing a pair of UGGS for a couple of years. They were sooooo comfortable, but couldn't keep my feet warm enough in this harsh winter climate. Columbia has always been great so decided to try this boot. It's incredibly warm. Of course, it's heavier than the UGGS, but made for warmth. I'm now use to the clunky look. The zipper can be a little annoying at times, and sometimes slips a bit. But I'm very happy overall!

Love these boots! Great boots and very comfortable. I got a great bargain since I waited for the summer to buy these. Keep my feet warm and cozy. I purchased 1/2 size larger and wore thicker socks.

Columbia Vallara II- Though I have only worn this boot twice, it seems to be quite comfortable with little or no breaking in required. Not as bulky in look and feel as some winter boots can be. The instep was a little tight at first, but that may just be me. Great for playing around in the snow with good traction, but not so much for running errands, etc., where you’ll be wearing these indoors. My feet got too warm doing that.

What a great experience! Zappos is wonderful! Great boots! I needed a boot that wasn't too clunky and this boot is perfect. Does not feel like a winter/snow boot, BUT will keep your feet warm. Didn't have any problem driving in these boots, which was important consideration for me. I would absolutely buy from Zappos again and I highly recommend these boots!

Perfect - I love these boots. I live in Minn. and went on my first walk with them yesterday. Let me tell you, it was 5 degrees out with a windchill of -10, and yes, I walked. My feet were toasty as ever. The size runs true. I wear an 8 in gym shoes and ordered an 8. Nice fit. I was concerned the heel would pop up inside the boot since it wasn’t a lace up style, and it didn’t. Cute and practical. Can’t beat that!

Columbia Vallara II - This is a really nice looking ladies boot. It isn't chunky, clunky or funky looking. It fits snuggly with my heavy wool socks, and I did get my normal size 8. I haven't had time or weather to check the boot out under adverse conditions, but I know that while I'm wearing them around in the house to break them in--I frequently have to remove them to let my (normally icy) feet cool off a bit. Can't leave it without saying how gr8 Zappos is to shop with, they set a high standard for internet shopping.

Zappos is great! I am wearing my Vallara's for the first time today, snowing where I live. They are not only great looking, (under jeans they look like regular stylish boots!) but warm and comfy!I have very high arches and was able to get into these because of the the front zipper! Thank you Zappos, you sent these 2nd day air at no extra charge, I have recommended all of my friends to you! Happy customer in Mt Shasta, Ca. Melody

Vallara II- Just bought these, and first of all I must say, Zappos is SO AWESOME when it comes to shipping. Free shipping and really quick! I was also surprised by the weight of the box, these boots are pretty light! I bought them in black and they're pretty stylish, I plan on wearing them to class- no one will know I'm wearing my winter boots! Buy at least a half size larger. It gets pretty cold here in Grand Forks (way below zero), but these are rated to -25F, so they will be good for most of winter. If you have milder winters, these boots are light, stylish, and very comfortable.

I Love the boots. Very warm and stylish with jeans. My only complaint is that the zipper keeps coming down. I have tried everything and can not get it to stay up.

I have not used these in wet or extra cold conditions yet. Boot is cute but bigger and bulkier then I anticipated and felt like I was walking around in ski boots! Took some breaking in but they are pretty warm. You can wear them tucked in or with pant over. Boot is comfortable to walk around in but feels bulky and heavy at the same time. Not sure how they will handle snow, wet or mud yet. I'm a little concerned as they are light tan and suede so we will see. I run between an 8 1/2 and a 9 so I started with a 9 and they were too big, even with thick socks so order your usual size and you should be fine, even with the thick wool ski socks (the 8 1/2 worked for me). They are not super stylish so I'm hoping because of the good brand they will be warm and functional for the winter. But they are definitely more stylish then those plain UGG boots.

These boots are great- warm, waterproof and comfortable. The only problem I've had with them is that the front zipper sometimes slides down when you wear them.
