Columbia Footwear -25°F Lavela Boots - Insulated (For Youth)

Product description should make clear that this is a girl's boot. The piping, which looks cream in picture, is actually pink. I bought these boots for my nine-year-old son, and while he loves how the warmth and fit, he won't wear them in public. We are trying to figure out how to dye, paint, or magic marker the piping another color, but I doubt the result is going to be entirely satisfactory.

Very nice boots, but would it kill Sierra Trading post to indicate that they are for girls? You can't tell from the picture but the striping is kinda pinkish.

We haven't been able to try these out in really cold weather, but they are so comfortable she wants to wear them everywhere she goes!

These shoes will come in handy during the rainy season plus when we visit the snow. My daughter really likes the way they look.

Nice quality, warm, comfortable.

These boots are great. They are beautifully made, warm & comfortable. I bought these for both my boys to wear in Japan during winter/snow. For any Aussies, the sizing runs 1 size big. My child is a size 2 sandshoe so I ordered him US3 (UK2)and he has about a thumb distance from his toe to the front of the shoe. This is great because he will get 2 years out of them but if you want them to fit snug, I would suggest 1 size down.

I'm a small woman and wear a size 6 or 6 1/2. I purchased the size 4 and they fit great! I am happy because they are such a great looking boot! I'm from the Midwest and purchased them in the middle of summer (got them for a great price!)and so I haven't had a chance to actually wear them in the snow yet. But I'm betting the good comments I reviewed will be the same for me since I know Columbia is a great name and they'll live up to the quality they're noted for.

I bought size 2 to my daughter for future winter sport. They were just a little space for her, I ordered another pair with size 4 which will be for her future. they are light and comfortable, she can wear it for school in winter or rain. My suggestion is the color (mud/Isla) is deeper color with pink strip which are beauty for girl, (tan/white) is lighter color which are good for boy or girl.

Got these "post winter" in WI. I've only worn them a time or two to "break" them in. They are lightweight and very comfy. I wanted them mainly for walking in the winter, which I believe they will fit the bill perfectly! I am a ladies size 7-7.5, the youth size 5 fit me PERFECT! I had tried a youth 6 in some other Colmubia footwear, and it was too big...so sticking with the 5!!!

I reviewed all the comments and believed the size will be bigger than regular. I bought size 2 thinking it will be equal to size 4, it will be good for for my 6 year old daughter next year. The size 2 is just fit her now, I need to exchange for size 4 for her next year. I think they are true to size, for children or youth, bigger is safer, at least you can wait for them to outgrown better than return or donate.
