Columbia Women's ICE Maiden II Snow Boot (Open Box)

I recently purchased the Columbia Women's Ice Maiden II boots in Black/Columbia Grey, and while they have some good features, I was a bit disappointed overall.Pros:- The style is great! The boots look exactly like the picture and are stylish enough to wear both for outdoor activities and casual outings.- The insulation seems good, and they feel warm enough for colder weather.- The traction on the soles is solid, and I’m sure they’ll perform well on snowy or slippery surfaces.Cons:Fit: These boots run big. I usually wear a size 7, but I ended up returning them as they felt way too roomy. I recommend sizing down if you're in between sizes or if you prefer a snugger fit.Stiffness: The boots are much stiffer than I anticipated. The leather and synthetic materials feel quite rigid, especially around the ankle area. It made walking a bit uncomfortable at first, and I’m sure they would break in over time.Comfort: The insole is okay, but not as plush as I expected.Overall, while the boots are durable and warm, the fit and stiffness are a letdown for me. I do think they’d work better for someone with wider feet or someone who doesn't mind a bit of stiffness during the break-in period.
