seems perhaps more like a boundary between R&D and their marketing department.

I’m at least impressed with the stylish-ness of the ladies boot. For an outdoor company this seems to be the hardest mark to hit.

that’s disappointing! I had heard a lot of the marketing about how these were going to be really great boots. Thanks for sharing a totally honest review.

They look good though. To see is to believe.

I wonder if the results would have been different if you were doing a sedentary activity like ice fishing, or standing around watching an outside hockey game etc. If you’re walking around, any boot will feel warm, the true test is how warm it is when your sitting around.

I purchased a pair of Columbia boots about 12 years ago (perhaps the first generation Bugaboot?), and they were also plagued with as stated above, “design flaws include a bad fit on the top of the mid-foot area, where boot flex causes material to fold over and press into your foot.” They were so uncomfortable I stopped wearing them after only a few months.

As a hunter who sits still in the cold snowy Novermber and December, rubber boots like this one will not do any good. We all know that anything made out of rubber will freeze quickly resulting in cold feet. If the heat is barely noticeable, this boot will not work. If you do excessive walking, than that might be a different story but still the boots look uncomfortable to begin off with and perhaps not worth the price sold at.

Ok
Glad I found this sight was going to buy these boots for my spouse for hunting. Any other boots available that would keep a hunters feet warm?

thinks for the tips. now i know that i should just get the heated socks instead.

I purchased the bugathermo boots when they first hit the market. Now I am facing the dreaded battery replacement wherein I have to cut open the lining to get at the battery. Columbia defines the process so I hope it goes well. The boots are a bit clunky but I have found them to be as advertised for warmth, and with the right thickness sock, comfortable

I bought a pair these boots everyone is talking about in 2010 and had to take them back. they gave me a newer pair 2011 model they r not any better so I guess will go back to the old country boy way.

can somebody give me a link to buy a replacement battery for columbia electro jacket?
