When we introduced the worlds first high-performance winter boot with a built-in heating system last season, it sold out in a (hot) flash. Heres the newest model, back for more winter butt-kicking with a slightly higher cut for even more protection from the cold. Built with Columbias most advanced technical winter boot toolingwith a waterproof-breathable upper and a Techlite footbed and midsolethe Thermo features built-in rechargeable batteries and electronic controls that provide three temperature settings for maximum protection from the cold.
On the low setting, heating pads located under the ball of the foot deliver warmth for 8 hours; on high, expect 3 hours of heat where your foot needs it most. With a lightweight waterproof thermal rubber shell and rustproof alloy gaiters, the Bugaboot Thermo is ready for serious mountain trekking, snowmobiling, ski lift operation, or Arctic exploration. Combine these features with Bugaboots trusted durability, 200g Thinsulate insulation and Omni-Grip traction, and you may very well have the greatest winter boot to walk the earth.

Great Purchase
The is the best purchase I have ever made for a winter boot. The heating element has worked wonderfully while I have been outside cleaning the snow off my car. I could stay out as long as I want without my feet getting numb as they previously did with my old boots. I chose a size 7, which is my regular shoe size and it worked fine with my Bugaboo Ski socks. I also recommend getting Columbia Omni-Tech waterproof breathable gloves and the Women's Hot Seat Omni-Heat pants. Walking in the snow is a pleasure with these products.

Bugathermo by Columbia
I purchased these boots for my wife whose feet are always COLD. Football games have been very uncomfortable. But with the battery operated heat insoles, my wife's feet are nice and toasty! Great product. However, she normally wears a size 6 and couldn't even put her foot in the Bugathermo. We had to order 2 sizes larger (7) to get the right fit. As with all new boots they are very stiff at first, especially where the battery pack is located on the shin just above the ankle. After wearing them it does get better. I am considering purchasing a pair for myself!

Not sure about these boots
Boots fit a little small so I went to return them for next 1/2 size up and they were $100.00 more! So I did not end up buying these boots. I love the look and they felt okay, but I didn't get the opportunity to try them out in the cold and snow. I will wait til my size goes on sale.
