Color options
Shorties are a staple of many lifestyles. They are fun and easy to get into. Shorties can be worn with or without a top/shirt.
Shorties are very popular due to their easy way into and out of the wardrobe. They can be stuck in your back pocket and then neveronsenseoutofit, which is also true for them!
They also make a great place for quick decoration. Using only white, red, or some color combo of the existing shortie colors, is an easy way to get some extra color in your boot.
These colors go well with everything! These shorties are going to show up in plenty of feet-no need for new shoes unless you want new shape and size! These shorty boots are perfect if you want some more stability but do not have enough height in your feet to comfortably use these shoes on their own.
Versatility
Shorties are back in style? Yes, yes, yes! They are easy and instantly recognizable every time you see them. They make a cute short-sleeved top that you can put on and take off!
Shorties were the main mode of clothing for women until about twenty years ago. Then, they came out with tight-fitted pants and shorts that zipped up or had an exposed zip. These styles were very popular back then, so it was a small victory for women’s fashion.
Today, shorties are still popular, but people are looking for different ways to wear them. There are many ways to layer a shortie top with pants or shoes, so there is plenty of room for expansion in fashion trends.
Style
Shorties are a constant go-to look for every woman. They are always a hit at party and summer events! They are a timeless look that does not matter if you are office or beach ready!
The Columbia Minx Waterproof Shortie Boot is the right shortie boot for you. You can choose between a leather or rubberized soles, and you can choose between ten decorative stitching styles. These styles include hot pink, light blue, dark navy, fun red, soft flesh color, and strong black.
The length of this boot is about midfoot to high foot length. This length is perfect if you have long feet or want some extra space in your footwear.
Waterproofness
As the name implies, the Columbia Minx Waterproof Shortie Boot is water resistant. This means you can go swimming or snorkeling in them. You can also engage in some water sports such as kayaking or canoeing.
Unfortunately, this doesn’t mean that you can just hang out in the water! You must use a waterproofing spray to keep the shoes and boots protected. Even then, it is recommended to always have a pair of jeans or a chino pants type garment to lay it on if needed.
The main downside to this is that it does not keep your feet warm.
Sole thickness
The main component of the Columbia Minx Waterproof Shortie Boot is its sole. This feature determines the shape and thickness of the boot.
Shortie boots are typically smaller than usual, making it more difficult to get a good grip on the sole. This is why so many people choose this style: You can design your shortie to have a tighter fit, or a wider range of widths.
Usually, there is a minimum length required for a shorty boot. With this boot, you must have at least five inches of extra length! That is why so many people find it difficult to use: They do not want to extend the length of their boot, because it looks funny with tight pants.
When buying a short-length boot like this, be careful that you do not overstrain your knees.
Sole material
The main material used to make these Columbia Minx Waterproof Shortie Boot is rubber. This gives the boot some cushioning, enough to prevent them from being painful if you were to fall.
The other materials include leather, textile, and foam. These materials are used as the outer layer to make the boot more durable. The leather adds some shape and texture to the boot, while the textile adds breathability. Finally, the foam adds some support and determine whether you are comfortable in this boot.
These kinds of boots are popular because they look nice and set off a nice shape under anything else they are worn with. They are also ideal for daily wear as they are not going to be exposed to water or snow much of anything harsh.
How do I care for my Columbia Minx Boot?
Because these boots have so many layers, it is important to know how to care for them properly. First, do not wash them by laundry machine. Instead, run them through a dryer on medium-high heat setting approximately 7 minutes until dried.
Upper material
The upper material of the Columbia Minx is made from water resistant Nubuck leather. This material is resistant to dirt and water, which makes this boot very resilient. Another great feature of this material is that it does not dry out easily, which makes it a great choice for hiking.
Since this boot is designed with a tighter fit, it does require more matching leather to hang up. This makes it more expensive, but worth the savings in my opinion!
How It Feels: The upper of the Columbia Minx feels very soft and durable. I was surprised by how long these boots lasted me, since I would wear them daily! Also, since these are a short-in-height boot, you will need to get a bigger size than your normal size to fit comfortably.
Lining material
The lining material is a waterproofing fabric called Thermafilter. This allows you to lay in the shortie boot without worrying about water leaking in or out.
Thermafilter is only resistant to very low temperatures, so this does not work for extremely cold weather! However, this does allow you more room for error when it comes to layering.
When looking at boots, there are several pieces of linning that come into play. They can make the difference between a soft and plush foot bed and the edge of the boot being hard and dry. The stitch quality determines whether or not there are pockets sewn into the edge of the boot.
