Even with size 8 my toes get numb because the middle/top part of the boots are too tight and pressing into my foot.

I wear size 7, and that is what I ordered.  But when it came and I tried them on, my feet could barely get through, and once they were in, my feet were like squeezed very tightly. I had to struggle and pull hard when I took them off.

I asked for a replacement, and I got size 8, and even with this extra inch, my feet still feel they same, and what's worse is my toes get numb because the top/middle part is too sturdy it presses on to my toes and I got pins and needles while sitting in a chair waiting for my test at the hospital.

One thing nice though is the traction on ice and snow.

I hope it will break, lose, you know, or I have to return these shoes.  I chose Columbia although they are not cheap because I was after the quality, but I got disappointed.  This is my first Columbia shoes and I'm afraid I won't buy the same brand again.

I was so excited about these boots, it was very disappointing to find that they didn't fit. I was able to get my foot in and the size for my foot fit fine, but I couldn't pull them all the way on because they were so tight around my calves. I didn't like the fact that the zipper didn't come all the way to the top and therefore was challenging to put on in the first place.

It was a little tight in the top of the toes. The boot fits fine but it pinched the top of the foot. Figure after I break them in they should be fine.

The strap over the toes is far too tight, squeezing them together to the point numbness.  I returned, no way I would put my feet through that even for just a dinner.

I didn't not really want to buy these boots anymore but my husband wouldn't leave the store unless I did! I wanted to get the black one but they didn't have it so I went to get the white boots.

Fitting the 7 was too tight. We went for 7 and a half, I couldn't get it in. Decided on an 8 and it finally went through but honestly feels like a snug fit inside but I guess I just need to break it in.

I don't think these white boots get messy easily, I just wear it in the city.

These boots are a lot cheaper in the store, it cost $160 before taxes.

I really want to love these shoes. I love the way they look and I thought I loved the way they fit, until I wore them all day. The toe box feels tight when walking and the top of the shoe is digging into both of my heels. I cant walk around in them without band-aids on. I usually don't have problems with shoes and I usually don't have to break them in. Im hoping a little break in will do the trick with these but Im not holding out much hope. Disappointing purchase, especially for the price!

The top straps cut my feet between the toes from being  so tight. I tried to wear these for a week and no relief.

The left boot fit fine but the right was way too tight and small around the toes. I can't wear them because they hurt my feet. Overall I wouldn't pay the price for cheaply made boots like these.

The boots were as pictured and beautiful. However I am returning them as they did not fit. The reviews said that these boots run small. I am a 7 to 7.5, so knowing that info, I ordered an 8 as there were only whole sizes offered. The 8s were still too small. I have a narrow foot and I felt as if my foot was being squeezed. It was very tight, I could barely move my toes and after about 10 minutes of having them on my foot was slightly starting to get numb. I recommend buying an even larger size. But to avoid the next pair looking to big an bulky on my foot I'm just returning and looking for something else.

My husband bought these for me as a birthday gift. I really want to like these--I love the way they look, and they seem like they'll hold up well. I've used roller blades since I was little, and have used quite a few pairs. These looked nicer than all the others I'd owned, but when I put them on, I noticed they were almost unbearably tight around the middle/back lower part of my foot, below the ankle. They have weird padding that juts out into the foot, most likely to hold it in place. I have very thin feet, but it hurt to put these on. I have no idea how anyone with wider feet would be able to even put these on. I decided to give them a try anyway, and took my son skating outside. They did great over rough pavement, and easily went over large cracks filled with dirt/weeds. However, after a few minutes, my feet started to cramp and hurt so badly from the padding's pressure. I figured I just needed to break them in, which will require longer periods of skating, so I tried to keep going but it got so bad I had to stop where I was and take them off, and the pain didn't stop until we made it home. I have large purplish-red indents in the sides of my feet now from the padding. I waited awhile to try these out, so now I'm not sure if I can even return them. Really upset, because these seem so nice overall. I may see if I can trim down the padding.

I usually am a 8 1/2 in shoes since there are no half sizes I ordered a 9 and it Fit good but when I walk my toes hang over the edge, the toe area is way to small for an average size foot.

I wear a size 8 keen shoe. So I thought I would get a 1/2 size bigger in a boot, for  heavier socks. The opening to this boot is very small even with thin socks. Boot is also very stiff. Hard to believe this is a keen product. Sending back

There is an inner liner that is 2 inches below the top. When pushing my foot into the boot my sock pulls down the liner making it very difficult to get my foot into the boot. Also there is a loop on the back top of the boot to be used to pull up on the boot while inserting  ones foot but this loop is almost too small to get ones index finger into it.  The sole of the boot is too stiff so when walking ones heel moves upward rather than the sole flexing so walking long distances would be uncomfortable.
My shoe size is 10.5 so I ordered size 11. It was too small so I exchanged for size 12 and that was still too small so I gave up,

The top cut into my feet so bad it felt like it was breaking my foot after an 8hr shift. Way too tight.

Like it, but the toe box is too narrow for me - length fine, but it squeezes the ball of my foot just enough that I know it'll be aching in no time.  Even with stretch it won't work.  Too bad, because I really liked the look and feel of these boots.

There just isn't enough room for someone with a high instep to slide their foot into the base of the boot. I wanted something a little fitted at the bottom so I didn't feel like the heel was sliding around the way some clunky snow boots do. Unfortunately this is too constrained and I can't even get them on.
