Columbia Men's First Generation Bugaboot Iii Xtm

It's a great boot. Very light, very warm and waterproof. Consider buying one size up though as these seem to run small

Super fast shipping, great vendor and boots looked amazing.Tested outside in -27 windchill even my core with a very warm north face ski jacket was past tolerance and my feet were just fine. I don't even think my Baffins are this warm.BUT MAKE SURE TO GO UP 1 TO 1.5 SIZES (1.5 if you plan to wear thick socks)I have 2 Columbia boots both my normal 10.5 and this 10.5 wasn't even close. They're super insulated and thick on top of the foot and have a tongue seem you really feel if you don't get a full size up. Half size won't cut it even with thin socks.

The seller was great and boots arrived sooner than expected. The boots themself run small. However, I knew this in advance from the many reviews I read before placing my order. I normally wear a size 10 in just about everything but ordered 11.5 to be safe.At first the boots seemed too snug until I walked around in them throughout the house for a few minutes. Within those few minutes the boots felt great. Perfect fit!!!Whatever size you wear be sure to order 1.5 size up and if that size is not available then going 2 sizes up will also be fine.Other than not having a pull tab to help pull them on and quick laces these boots are great. Me pointing these two small details out is just being picky at that point.Very happy with the purchase overall and would highly recommend.

I read that most of the reviews encouraged you to buy one size larger. I wear a 9.5. I ordered a 10.5 and it fits correctly. These boots do feel super insulated and I suspect that is why you need to run them larger.I wear HAIX boots during the summer. For the past three winters I wore Columbia's Bugaboot III with 200 grams insulation. They worked well but when it dipped below 0 here in Alaska and I was standing outside on ice my feet would get cold. I figured I would give these a shot as they have more insulation and are taller. I hope the extra height will help keep snow from coming over the top when I have to walk through yards and such.I added two photos. One showing it with the HAIX boot and the 200 gram Bugaboot. The other with just the 200 gram Bugaboot to try and show the height difference.These boots are fairly stiff when you get them but they are no more stiff than any other quality waterproof boot. I expect them to break-in just fine. I thought they might be hard to slip and and off b/c the top two pair of eye-loops aren't hooks and I won't be un-lacing them all the way each time, but I found it not to be a problem so far....clearly not as nice as a side zipper boot, but it works fine.I will try to remember to give this an update once the winter 2019-2020 is over.

I first ordered a pair of Columbia BugaBoot III because of a friends recommendation the site didn't show wide sizes, but I extended the length and ordered a pair. To narrow. But then found another site showing wide sizes. I send 1st ones back got wide size .very happy now , it's the fit I wanted. Thanks

Excellent boat. However just a heads up they run small. I bought a 9 but had to exchange them for 10’s and really could/should have gone 10.5. After adding heavier wool socks there is not much room because these boots fit like a glove. Seriously these are the most comfortable winter boots I have ever purchased and I work no less than 10hrs a day, 6 days a week building railroads. So if they keep me warm and comfortable out there laying rail through Wisconsin winters, I’m going to wager you’ll be hard pressed to find a better proving ground you, buy them. Youll have no buyers response, I promise!

The quality of the boots are nice. They are large and well insulated boots when I tried them on.amazon return review:The return is NOT free. I'm a prime member and one of the reasons I pay for the prime membership is for free return. I always check that I get returns when I'm making a purchase, but I guess there are exceptions/conditions buried in the fine print.They charged me $13.20 for returning these ("restocking fee"). And when I shipped them from UPS they needed to be boxed. UPS charged me $8 for the box. I understand that this cost is sort of on me; however, that's a technicality and I'd rather talk about effectively what this means for the consumer. I'm busy, especially during the holiday season. I ordered the boots because it said free returns and I figured that is perfect for me trying the boots on. When I went to return the boots and didn't have a box, I accepted that cost because I was leaving town for the holidays and needed to get them returned. Now I'm being charged $13. So effectively, I paid about $20 to try these boots and decide that they wouldn't work for me. Amazon did NOT make my shopping easier (externalities e.g. driving cost, time cost, financial cost, etc.) or cheaper.Isn't that what Amazon is supposed to do, to curate and create this marketplace for their PAYING MEMBERS and provide some services e.g. deliver, free returns, etc

I live in Bali, Indonesia and purchased this boot in anticipation of a ski trip to Hakuba Japan. I didn't read the reviews with everyone saying size up because of the 600 gram insulation. DO IT. I'm a size 11, if I would have purchased a 12, it would have fit perfectly.After paying shipping to Bali from the states, 100% import tax, it didn't make sense for me to send them back for return (outside of the timeline due to overseas shipping lengths). Repurchase and pay for international shipping + 100% tax again.Instead, I bought the Northface Snowboot, a bit cheaper and I wish I would have just repurchased this columbia Bugaboot. The difference in quality build is incomparable. Next time I go back to America, I will bring this boot (size 12 this time) back with me in anticipation of our next trip.Full Size up and guaranteed you will be happy!

These boots were for my fiancé and he said that they are very comfortable and warm. It’s hard for him to find a good pair of boots that don’t hurt his feet and he said these don’t so he recommends these boots to others.

Bought these boots for use at temperatures as low as -30°C.....and I must admit that they've been very useful indeed....they are heavy but comfortable and most importantly warm....a must buy if you're going to use them in a cold area...

Me gusto mucho, muy útil para climas fríos, me ayudó en la nieve y la lluvia. Lo recomiendo ampliamente.

looks good and we'll constructed. Nice and warm good fit. looking forward to trying Em in snow

Amazing boot.
