Columbia 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.

The Columbia Bugaboot III XTM is an outstanding winter boot that delivers exactly what it promises. Build quality is excellent, with rugged materials that hold up well in harsh winter conditions. The insulation keeps feet warm even in extreme cold, and the waterproof construction performs reliably in snow, slush, and wet environments. Traction is solid, providing confidence on icy and uneven surfaces, and the boot remains comfortable for extended wear. One important note for sizing: these boots run small. I strongly recommend ordering at least one full size up, and possibly two sizes up if you plan to wear thicker winter socks or prefer a more comfortable fit. Overall, this is a high-quality, dependable winter boot that performs exceptionally well in cold weather. Highly recommended, as long as you size up appropriately.

They definitely run a bit small. I normally wear a 10 to 10.5. I went with 11. They are a bit tight, but I'm pretty certain it's just due to the insane amount of insulation in these things. They are so warm! I think breaking them in will make them fit just right. Also, going too big would move the arch on the insole further up which would make them really uncomfortable. As far as quality goes, these things are fantastic. They are built so well...not too heavy despite feeling really durable. I have no complaints!

fits a size smaller

These Boots are awesome nice winter boot keep my feet warm The Price is Right I think they will last a long time Columbia is a good reputation

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.

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.

Se ve que las botas son de muy buena calidad, el caucho que la recubre se ve duradero y impermeable. Yo calzo 28 cm en el pie y pedí 29 cm. Es decir tengo talla 10.5 y pedí 11 y con una media no muy gruesa. me queda, apenas me queda precisa sin que lastime es bueno pedir una talla o talla y media más grande si son 10.5 Pedir una, 11.5 para usar con doble media o un par de medias gruesas.

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

Excellent quality for snowing winter....should buy 1 full size that your normal size of shoes. In my case my size is 10, then 11 is good fit. Don't buy bigger than 1 full size larger, otherwise you may feel comfortable at the very beginning but after a while they will be too loose for your feet. The reason is the insulation pads inside the shoes are elastic and tend to be too tight at the very beginning. It will fit your feet more comfortably after you can walk around for several times of normal wearing. Enjoy!!!

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.

Great boots. Very warm and dry. I went a size up and they are just about the right size. They may stretch over time, but I would still go at least a size bigger. Comfortable from the first wear.
