Customer Reviews Columbia Heavenly Omni-Heat

I wear a 7.5 and ordered an 8.5 and had to send that back. I ordered a similar pair of boots and purchased two sizes and had to send those back as well. Finally a size 9.5 came available in the original boot I purchased so I ordered that. I am keeping it but would probably have done well with a size 10 to accommodate a thicker wool sock. They are comfortable and warm but beware they run EXTREMELY small. I have not tested whether or not they are waterproof yet.

I wanted to love these, I really did. I ordered the black boots and followed advice to size up. They are well made, cute, and functional (I didn't have the chance to test these in the snow, but construction is spot on). The problem for me is that they seem to be really small. I followed other reviewers' advice and ordered a half size up (I wear a 10 so I ordered a 10.5), only to find that the shoes were really tight in the toes. So back they go, and I ordered an 11. The new pair came today and they are just as tight in the toes, but my heel slips up quite a bit in the back. Even in regular socks they are super tight at the toe, so I can only imagine what winter wool socks would feel like in these. I am sending them back, and wondering why the sizing is so odd. My favorite snow boots are a size 10 from Columbia that fit perfectly, so I was really disappointed that sizing up didn't do the trick, as I know they will be warm, comfy boots for those who can work around the fit issues. I'm also really bummed about having to pay return shipping twice for pretty snow boots that just don't cut it. I have to say, this is the first time I've been let down by a Columbia product.

Bought these Oct 2014, started off amazing - keeping feet toasty warm to point of sweating without footwarmers, super lightweight. By end of winter 2015/16 (spring 2016) was starting to notice wetness if out too long in snow. this year (winter 16/17) notice wetness along sole/upper seam even with short snow playtime and despite foot warmers feet get cold. only 1 yr limited warranty, so have to throw away.

Disappointed! I've had these boots three times in my usual size and loved them. This time in the same size they are much too small!

A great boot that kept my feet warm and dry. Following winter my feet started to get wet 2 weeks into wearing! I contacted customer service, they told me I'm out of my warranty period by 7 days. I was furious! The price you pay isn't worth just one winter.

too tight even for regular feet. Ordered 1 up and still too tight.

My regular size is 8-1/2 and purchased size 9. Returned for size 9-1/2 and still too small. Disappointed that I had to return and then reorder too.

Loved the boots for the first two weeks that I've had them here in northern NJ. Played in the snow with my grandchildren, gone for walks in the very cold weather and my feet have been warm and dry. Until today when I return from a walk to find the stitching unraveling on my left boot. It's been two weeks since I received these boots. They are out of stock in any color in my size. Not happy as I bought these boots in advance of storms so that I'd be ahead of the game this winter. Sadly, I am not.

Very, very narrow. I purchased half a size larger as recommended and still had to return them.

I ordered 1/2 size longer/larger size 8. I normally wear a 7.5. The particular boots that I received about 15 minutes via UPS are extremely narrow. I'm normally a regular medium width. I'm so sorry I'm going to return this pair.

I bought these boots and they were great at first, very warm and comfortable but they eventually started leaking. I returned them and got the same pair under the warranty and those too started leaking. Aside from that, they run extremely small.

Don't get fooled by all these comments from buyers who just got it. I'm not difficult when it comes to boots. Bought these last winter, I was in university and mostly driving all winter long, believing these circumstances would make them last longer. Worst boots ever. I ordered one size bigger, 11. Fits like a small 10 but I thought that they were probably warm and I was totally WRONG. Trying to wear wool socks didn't even fix anything. Humid everyday, 10 to 20 minutes outside my feet were cold (and 5 minutes at -30c). It was worse when it was around -5c outside, they were wet inside. Cheap build, the sole has sagged after a month, even though my feet are not wide and the fabric is just not waterproof at all. They looked horrible after. If you intend to walk in 2 feet high of snow after buying these boots, you are in DEEP trouble. I regret bitterly my purchase, 4 months of winter and I must already get rid of it. Crappy boots and total waste of money.

I live in the northeast and invested in these boots because I thought they would be able to stand up to our long, cold, snowy, icy winters. Unfortunately, this was not the case. On my way to work one morning--having only worn the boots for about a month or so; they were still in very good condition--I had to trudge through an unplowed sidewalk with about 4" of snow crusted with a thin layer of ice. The ice pierced the top of the toe box on the right boot, and the resulting hole, though small, obviously means the boot is no longer waterproof at that spot. The company would not cover the boots because it wasn't a manufacturing defect. Perhaps not, but I would have expected the material on a winter boot to be able to withstand typical winter conditions. Something to consider before shelling out good money for a product that didn't even last a season.
