Columbia Women's Bugapowder Snow Boot

Nice.
I got these one sale for $40 on altrec...what a deal! They fit nicely (true to size) and indeed are streamlined--I am quite surprised about how light, warm, and un-cumbersome they are. That being said, I use them in Tahoe where it's usually over 20 degrees so I don't need a super warm boot. Personally, I cant imagine paying $80 for these--looks like Merrel might make a better boot in this price range? I don't have any problems with the lacing in the back, and no problems getting into the boot with a high arch. Happy with my roasty toasty feet...

Great boot.
This is a great boot, comfortable, lightweight but surprisingly warm. Besides they look good too. The downside is the lacing at the back but it seems to loosen up a little after several wearings and it then becomes easier to get the boot on.

Sporty, Comfortable Boots
I am very pleased with these boots. I normally wear a size 10 or a 10.5 in some running/athletic shoes. I ordered the 10.5 in these boots which left me some room for a thick sock. I probably could have gotten away with a 10 but I'm fine with wearing a thicker sock. They're more streamlined looking than I thought they'd be- they don't look overly big even on my foot :) I've read elsewhere that they work great on a narrow foot; my foot is not narrow and they're very comfortable for me too. They don't have a zipper but I still found them relatively easy to get on. The lacing at the back allows them to open up slightly to put your foot in. However, I could see a problem getting them on for someone with a high instep. Overall, a comfortable, cute and sporty looking boot that will keep my feet warm and dry all winter long. I definitely recommend them.
