Minx Shorty IV

Great boots, versatile, comfortable, and warm. The only thing is the laces come untied so I always have to double knot them.

I purchased the size 7W to accommodate my bunions. I have been purchasing a wide shoe lately rather than sizing up a half size. Many reviewers said that they ran narrow but with the wide width, I have ample room. In fact, I need to wear an extra thick sock so that I don't slip around inside the boot. Many people said to size up a half size, but I measured my foot based on the size guide available on-line. I was a true size 7 but still ordered the 7 wide to accommodate my bunions. I was very glad I did not size up because there was plenty of length for me in my true size 7. The boots are very warm and lightweight. I have worn these shoes several times for a good portion of the day. With the exception of a bit of pressure on one bunion they are very comfortable. I think with time, the boot will stretch a bit and the bunion won't be an issue.

These boots are very comfortable and keep my feet warm. They are true to size. I bought these specifically because they will be great for the snow but also look cute enough to wear for daily activities.

They are super comfortable and durable. They keep my feet warm in the ice and snow!

These boots felt true to size and are VERY warm and cozy, however, they have nearly no arch support, and that combined with a very un-flexible sole meant that it kind of felt like I was walking around with a board on the bottom of each foot. In addition, they have to be laced very tightly to keep your toes from sliding to the front, which would be OK, except they don't have side zippers, so they have to be entirely unlaced to take them off.

I ordered this boot in a 7W. The wide made the boot VERY roomy. It almost felt like it was a half size larger overall. That being said, if you tighten the laces and position your foot properly, the boot is very comfortable as well as extremely warm.

True to size but too narrow. I did like everything else about the boot.

The size: I ordered this in black, in a size 8-1/2 wide. I was shocked to find these nearly a full size too long for my foot. That never happens to me. If anything, I usually find shoes and boots these days to be just slightly too small, but not small enough to go up a size or a half size. The width...meh. I rated these true to width, but they were slightly tighter than what I consider a wide to be. Though these were a bit long for me, I kept them so that I could wear heavy boot socks with them. The positives: These boots are incredibly warm. You could be in the cold with these for hours and your feet would sweat. (Unfortunately, they are not comfortable enough to want to wear for hours.) The styling is very attractive. Not clunky looking, not utilitarian looking, just good-looking. The negatives: These boots have zero arch support. The footbed is as flat as a piece of plywood. The flatness of the footbed, in and of itself, makes this boot uncomfortable. Also, there is barely any padding in the footbed. I honestly have no idea how people are rating these as comfortable. (For reference, I am 5'7" and 140 lbs.) This is one of the most generic footbeds in a boot that I have ever worn. (I have a 30-year-old pair of Sorels that have mushed padding that is still more cushy than these.) I expected much more from a Columbia boot. I've owned Sorel, Columbia boots, Kamiks, and LL Bean boots in the past. This pair of Columbia Minx Shorty IV boots are nowhere near as good as any of what I have owned in the past. Extremely disappointing to spend so much money for uncomfortable footwear.

I have narrow feet, so the laces made these work for me.

They are very cute boots and I am disappointed that they did not work. I ordered 8 wide. Too short and too narrow. Will order a larger size
