These shoes feel fantastic! They are very true to size, and they fit me just perfectly. The craftsmanship and design look wonderful, and I haven't seen or experienced any issues with them so far. I ordered these as hiking boots, and possibly as winter boots, but they look so nice, I kind feel bad about possibly scuffing them up!The support around the ankle area seems adequate to me, but I immediately removed the insoles from these shoes. They're just thin pads, and although they were comfortable, they didn't provide the arch support I wanted. I had some high arch insoles that slid right in, and now I'm ready to go. I tend to overpronate, especially with my left foot, due to a prior injury, but with the insoles in these, and the added support around the ankle, these should be just great for me!Awesome quality, stylish appearance, and a great value, in my opinion!

Bought these specifically to trapse around the less populated parts of Scotland. They're lightweight, comfortable, and so far have proven to be rugged enough to handle whatever this elderly Scot can throw at them. Beware: the color is quite RED but that was OK with me.

This boot is an excellent choice for budget conscious, casual hikers. As a large person with large wide feet I was skeptical about the low price and quality, but these were comfortable from day one. I think that is the boots best feature. All of my life I've had to break in hiking boots to some capacity, but not these. They also are quite stable, they feel more like a hybrid of a tennis sneaker and high end hiking boot, but I find I have great stability and control in them.One critique is the claim that they are waterproof is simply incorrect. The mesh tongue makes that untrue. I've walked through taller grass in the rain and they soak up water right to the socks. The other parts of the boot are at least water resistant but I do not recommend heavy rain hiking with these, especially if you're walking through brush. I also do worry about the longevity of these, the lace hooks in particular feel low quality, so if you want tie the boot very tight this could be a concern.With that said I think for a very low price you get a very comfortable casual hiking boot which is great for paved, gravel, and well travelled trails. Also great for big footed folks. I do not recommend these for heavy rain days, and you might be pushing the limits a bit with heavier brush areas. If used once a week these will go a long way, I think as a daily driver you might want to look at a higher end boot, especially if these are for work.

extremely comfortable boots. instantaneous break in period. haven't felt boots this comfortable since the 70's.i have never purchased this brand before, but the boots were so attractive that i could not resist. they are as light as sneakers, but with superior build quality and ruggedness. try a pair, you will NOT regret it.

So let's get this out of the way these are hiking boots... These are not work boots... I'm about 97% sure that they are real leather... So they can make your feet smell... They are extremely comfortable. They have great traction.But ultimately once again they are not work boots.This means that the sole is simply too soft and too thin to last very long on raw concrete or asphalt... Once again it's not what they were meant for.I used mine in a mixture of tile floor and sidewalk concrete. Not surprisingly. They did not last very long before the heel wore out... Not the boots fault not Columbia's fault. They are just not work boots...Love, the gray, beautiful looking boot actually.

Arguably the most comfortable hiking type shoe I've ever owned. In the past I've owned Keens, Merrell's and Solomon's and I like these Columbia's the best. Once I walked 10 miles with these Columbia shoes on asphalt and did not have one issue. I walk the dogs into the woods every day. They are waterproof and a great value. Size 12 fits like a size 12.

Tried out one pair and immediately bought 3 more in different colors. Comfortable, good quality and great price!
