Shorty is a manufacturer that has been around for a long time. They started making outdoor shoes in 1985, and have been going strong ever since. Their latest shorty Omni Heat Winter Boot is a new model that debuted in 2018.
Shorty is well known for their low top quality footwear, but they have found ways to improve over the years. Today, Shorty offers high-quality boots that are mid-range in price. The majority of users would say these are true winter boots, as they are used during winter storms and such.
The key feature that differentiates these from lower quality Shortys is the thicker leather used. This thick leather helps maintain its shape even after being wet, snowed on, and lived upon. These also have thicker rubber soles to stay on the ground with those icy conditions come winter time.

Colorful design
This Columbia Women’s Minx Shorty Omni Heat Winter Boot is a very appealing winter boot. It has a colorful, yet understated design that speaks to confidence. It also features high quality materials, making it last for years.
These boots are designed with heat retention in mind, so they feature an inner lining to help retain heat. This lining is visible in the center of the boot, where it is thicker and more prominent. It also has two side zips that can be opened and closed to retain heat even more.
The length of these boots is about right too.
Short length
In spite of being nine inches long, the Minx Omni Heat is a very easy boot to put on. It has a short length that just makes it easier to slide your foot in and out.
The height of the boot is five inches, so it is not hard to get a foot in and out. The length of the boot makes it easy to pull up on the lateral Axel, which helps with getting your foot in and out.
Like all leather boots, it will snag easily. To prevent this from happening, always remove at least one piece of leather before laundering the boot. This will also help keep the temperature of the leather down!
The Omni Heat is a great winterboot.
Omni Heat technology
When you need to keep warm but don’t want to rely on an over-priced heavy jacket, then the Columbia Women’s Minx Omni Heat Winter Boot is for you. These boots feature a special liner that heats your feet and toes through indirect heat from a radiator. This technology is called Omni Heat and it works great!
With this technology, you do not have to wear heavy wool or leather gloves which can be expensive. You also do not have to worry about the shoes getting cold or being uncomfortable. You can even buy them in heat-resistant vinyl which does not dry out after winter has passed.
These boots are very lightweight so they are suitable for warm weather casual footwear. They are also easy to get on and off which is another positive feature.
Good grip
The Columbia Women’s Minx Shorty Omni Heat Winter Boot is an attractive winter boot. It has a soft, fuzzy lining that feels nice against your foot. The grip on this boot is great!
It has several small grips on the bottom of the boot to give you more stability as you walk in it. These grip are also on the sides of the boot to help keep you from sliding around when walking.
Because these boots have so many small grips, it takes a few minutes to find one that works for you! I was able to get some good traction just by walking in them for a few minutes and then testing how well they hold my feet warm and dry.
This was important because I would be commuting in them all day in snow, where comfort is needed for hours.
Waterproof
The Columbia Women’s Minx Shorty Omni Heat Winter Boot is a great pick for those who need a waterproof boot. These boots have automatic water resistant protection built into the inside of the footbed.
This feature works by using a layer of soft, thick foam to help protect the wearer from wet feet. When water gets deep within this foam, it sticks, protecting the rest of the foot.
This feature is helpful for those who spend much time in water or who are active outdoors frequently. It would also be helpful for someone with a high instep problem as this helps keep feet warm and safe from sharp edges.
Another feature built into this boot is automatic motion detection. This feature monitors movement and automatically switches between static and motion detection to prevent cold feet getting trapped in an uncomfortable situation.

Comes in half sizes
Some women find that a thick sock or thick shoe socks are needed to keep their feet warm in winter. If you are one of them, then this is the right article for you.
Most winter boots have a size small or a size medium foot bed. This means that if you have a large foot, the boot will be bigger on the inside than it is outside. This will seem wrong at first, but it will help you feel more comfortable and safe while walking around in snow and around your home.
