Product Description

Whether you’re a serious outdoorsman or just looking for a dependable pair of winter boots, Columbia offers a reliable and durable solution. The Columbia Men’s Bugaboot Plus III is a comfortable and classic military-style boot that is designed for longevity and made from superior materials. These tactical boots have been engineered to hold up against cold weather, snow, and wet conditions while keeping your feet comfortable and warm. These super-warm boots feature 200g insulation and thermal-reflective liners and are rated at -25F/-32C.

Columbia boots are well-known for their superior construction and high-quality materials. These men’s outdoor boots are made from a combination of leather, nylon, webbing, and metal hardware. They are waterproof, seam-sealed, and designed via the infused reflective and other technologies to protect your feet from exposure to the cold. You can use these military boots for men on several surfaces without compromising comfort. The superior cushioning built into these men’s outdoor boots permits maximum impact absorption with a high energy return. The advanced traction outsole is designed to grip onto every environment and surface type.

We offer the Columbia Men’s Bugaboot Plus III boots in multiple sizes on Amazon.com. To ensure that you receive the perfect size, follow these steps for proper measurement. Use a material measuring tape and fold it up at the dotted line. Place the heel against a wall or other 90-degree surface and place your foot on a piece of paper or cardboard. Mark the end of the longest toe with a pen or pencil. Measure both feet and use the larger measurement. Compare the measurement to our size chart, finding the closest larger measurement and using that number to determine your shoe size for your country’s shoe measurement standards.

Good for walking and running in snow
My favorite walking and running shoes are New Balance size 14 4E, and that size was fitted to me professionally a few years ago. I wasn't sure these 14 2E boots would be wide enough, but they are. Haven't regretted purchasing them at all. I've used them to walk and run through snow with dogs this winter and they've held up admirably, never letting my feet get wet or cold. I wear Outdoor Research Men's Crocodile Gaiters, Black, X-Large over them, and the gaiters can just barely reach the clasp at the bottom of the laces. I probably should've bought the gaiters in XXL, but they still work great in combination with these boots. The traction on these is also good enough that I haven't had to buy any extra ice cleat attachments. I admit they do feel a bit heavy duty for running, but it hasn't slowed me down much and I don't see any better options for running through deep snow with my dogs. Normal shoes feel positively featherlight afterward, which is kinda fun, like I've been training at 10x earth's gravity, Goku style. Excuse the slightly messy pictures. I would take new ones but my dogs will get excited if they see me putting my boots and gaiters on.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Product, Great Value, Best Brand for Worse Winter Conditions
Reviewed in the United States on January 18, 2017

If you’re going to spend a lot of time outdoors or in seriously cold temperatures, winner is the Columbia Bugaboot Plus III Omni-Heat as the best choice for its mix of non-bulky insulation, full waterproofing, relative agility, and good overall traction.
As soon as you put a heat-generating foot in these boots, the value of the metallic, heat-reflecting Omni-Heat layer becomes clear. It really does help keep your feet warmer without adding bulk, and in our experience it breathed well enough (that is, allowed water vapor to escape) I had no experience finding myself with sweaty feet, even when temperatures were closer to freezing than to the subzero lows these boots can handle.
These boots fit true to size, with a normal-to-spacious toe box—there’s plenty of room for a wide foot or high-volume arch—and a heel that’s roomy but not sloppy. When combined with just the right amount of rocker (upturned toe), is a boot that feels both sturdy and supportive underfoot but also agile enough that you don’t feel as if you just clomped down from a spaceship.
You will find yourself ice skating in these boots if you’re not careful, though, they are not the best on traction on glare ice, which is pretty much expected for this sort of heavy-duty boot; in return for the heavy-duty, long-wearing lugs in the sole, you lose the soft grippiness that would give you traction on smooth ice. The solution is to use an equally heavy-duty traction device like the Hillsound Trail Crampon Ultra, which took first place for serious outdoor users in our review of nonslip traction aids. That said, these boots do just fine on their own if you’re walking in snow, and they offer good lateral stability.

I have been using these boots over 2 months for Hunting purposes. So far they performing great. Definitely keeps your feet warm if you know how to properly dress up for cold conditions, great waterproofing and very easy to clean. Depending on the place, usually in grass, ankle high water, mud, snow and even swamp i have been walking thru with these boots. It handles great, arch support and Achilles Tendon support is great, back of the ankle support is stiff that it hold everything in place, first it was hard to handle but after couple of use i got used to it and greatly appreciated. Here is one thing about Columbia and why I choose Columbia products, if you have been Russia (I have been) you must noticed that everybody wears Columbia more than any other brand in winter. Shoes, socks, sweaters, pants etc anything for winter conditions you will see that Columbia is the most chosen brand out there, well it is for a reason. it is the best out for worse winter conditions eventually!

Let's keep it simple: the color (charcoal/bright red), looks way better in real life than pictured, it's a definite WIN. Waterproofing is solid up to the first metallic lace hook. The boot is a tiny bit 'hard' to walk with straight out of the box, so be mindful of that. Maybe break-in the boots so they gain flexibility; go out on small walks or hikes before attempting anything too serious, just for the sake of comfort. I ordered a size 8.5 so I can fit thicker, warmer socks, my regular Columbia/Adidas size is 8, so that's only half a size larger. Nevertheless, the sizing is spot-on; comfortable and easy to walk with either thin or thick socks (consider ordering half a size larger just in case). These boots are sufficiently warm but consider wearing warmer socks depending on how cold your hometown or the location you intend to use them at is. The sole has solid grip on all surfaces, though a proper ice/snow test at a glacier above 14,700ft./4500m. is pending. The insulation does what it's meant to do; insulate heat rather than generate it, so consider that fact when deciding between the 200gram and 600gram versions of the boot.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good winter boot, but with some compromises.
Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2017

I bought these to replace another pair of Columbia Bugaboots - though a somewhat earlier model. So some of this is based on my experience with the older boots. The bottom line is that my feet have never been cold or wet in these boots. I wear them in snow and mud and temepratures down to about zero Fahrenheit, but usually between 10 and 30 degrees.
Never, until the last week, that is, when the uppers of both boots suddenly disintegrated. Splits appeared in the rubber parts, the seams split, and the toe began to peel away. Those boots were several years old, but it didn't seem to me that they had been worn particularly hard, or showed any other sign of wear. Perhaps two long winters (like this one) when they were worn all day every day. I had only just replaced the original set of laces. But maybe that is just how this material fails - all at once. Anyway: not lifetime boots.
The new boots may be made from slightly different materials. They are distinctly narrower than the old ones - almost too narrow, but I decided to keep them. (I see that they do offer a "wide" version now.) The shaft is also about an inch taller, which is causing some soreness on my ankles, hopefully temporary. They are a bit lighter than the old boots. 709 grams each vs 879, to be exact. Otherwise, they feel about the same as the old boots.
One consequence of the waterproofing is that these boots Do Not Breathe. That might be why some people have complained of "wet feet." They do require a good-quality moisture-wicking sock. (SmartWool Medium Hikers work for me.) The other effect is that they retain odors. The stink is incredible. I cannot keep them in the closet with my other clothes. They live on a shelf in the mud room, where there is some air circulation.

I wanted a boot that was warm and could handle intense walking for about an hour a day in a northern Canadian winter. After a month of cold weather and lots of snow, this boot works. It is waterproof, comfortable, and warm. No issues walking in -25 and snow for an hour. These boots are almost too warm when it's above 0 or for long periods of time when you are not outdoors, so walking around a mall or elsewhere is too much, but if you're looking for a comfortable, warm boot for Canadian winters, this one is great.

Es la primera vez probando la marca columbia en zapatos, estas botas las compre por que requiero ir a la sierra a tomar un curso, las estare usando toda la semana para aflojarlas un poco, por el momento solo las he usado dos dias y en ciudad. La talla fue la correcta, compre un 8US que es un 26 mexicano, el ajuste es perfecto pero debi pedir una talla mas grande para poder usarlas con mis calcetas de camping, son duras y el tobillo muy rigido, lo cual da buen soporte, tienen buen agarre en pavimento y concreto humedo, la construccion se ve robusta y duradera
Esto lo escribo a solo dos dias de usarlas, por el momento le doy 5 estrelllas, dentro de 10 dias actualizo esto de como funcionaron en la montaña 10/18/2018
