Great - up to 10 miles
Originally posted on columbia.com
I got these a year ago. Excellent for short - medium hikes. However I did 20 miles yesterday and they were terrible. Excruciating pain and multiple blisters. Durability is great but just couldn’t hold up when it came to harder trails.

Made wrong

Watch when you buy these. I purchased them and one shoe is made crocked and hard to wear. It turns my foot inward.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great boots, I went half a size bigger to be able to fit with thick socks. Boots provide great support and the colors are so cute.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great Hiking boots 🥾. Went on my first snowy hike and they held up great! No cold feet and temps were about low 30's. I had to go over a lot of hard ice under snow and boots. Grip kept me from slipping

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just perfect for hiking and snow, light, waterproof and sealed. I was little skeptical at first for the size but it fits perfectly, im amazed. And i have nothing to say for quality, always a winner for me.

Best Shoes Ever
Originally posted on columbia.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Best shoes I own. Purchased Jan 2023 and they have lasted right about to the end of 2025. I hike a lot (60+ trails per year), and I have worn these shoes to hike up mountains, go through rivers, and trek through sand. Traction has worn off just a little, but that is to be expected. The waterproofing is still awesome and works well. Super comfortable and lots of good ankle support. Literally my favorite shoes ever, I am about to buy the same pair and hopefully wear them out for the next 3 years.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought these a few months ago for extra ankle support after injuring the left ankle. They are very comfortable, light and supportive. I didn’t feel a lot of cushion in them but I was able to do 5-6 miles a day with relative ease on uneven, varied surface terrain (muddy, roots and rocks, stone, asphalt). I’ve tried other brands but these are going to be my go to.

Waterproofing Issues
Originally posted on columbia.com
No, I don't recommend this
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These were waterproof for about 2 years. Keep in mind they probably only say action for a max of 80 days/ year. I have tried waterproofing them again with both wax and spray. Nothing worked. I expected a longer lifespan than 2 years. Traction is pretty good.

Good Comfortable Boots
Originally posted on columbia.com
Yes, I recommend this
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought these for a trip to Yellowstone, Grand Teton, and Glacier National Parks, where I knew I would be going on some challenging hikes. These boots were perfect on sand, rock, and snow! They are waterproof (though I didn't submerge them completely in water), which also means your feet will feel hot in the boots, but I think that is the trade-off. I saw at least 5 other girls with the same boots! I got some compliments as well. I'm a size 6.5 - 7 and I got a 7, but I wish I tried the 6.5 to compare. 7 was comfortable, my toes were not cramped and I was able to wear thick socks. I have flexible ankles and twist them a lot while hiking, so the extra ankle support was nice. When I wanted more flexibility, I laced up to the second-to-last aglet.

Great Waterproof Shoe: Mountain Tested

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got a pair of a similar pair of waterproof Columbia's two years ago and got these to replace that pair. I hike it rocky, mountainous terrain with lots of water crossings and these hold up very well and keep my feet fairly dry. Highly recommend them.

Hike boot
Originally posted on columbia.com
Not a bad beginner boot, but not a fan of the back being so short because it digs in the your upper heel while hiking up and down a mountain. The foot part of the boot was very comfortable. I got the wide option and glad I did. Overall comfortable walking on level ground just the low back is uncomfortable for mountain hiking.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] LOVE these shoes!!! So cute and comfortable. Needed warm, waterproof shoes with traction for a trip to Iceland. Straight out of the box these boots were comfy - no break in time necessary. Running around, prepping for trip, they kept my feet warm and dry in negative temps and snow. Standing for 4+ hours at a time, no problem. These were the only shoes I took on my 7-day trip: walking, hiking, ice, snow, rain, airports, shopping on cobblestone streets - you name it, I did it and my feet felt great. Fortunately I did not experience standing in deep snow or excessive rain, so I can't speak to how waterproof they are in extreme climates - but the limited rain and snow I encountered my feet stayed dry. Traction was good on snow and ice, I didn't slip or slide once. Use the website measurements to choose your size - it was spot on. These boots look amazing on - they do not make your feet look big and the cream color with the pink laces...cute, cute, cute!!! Bought them to wear on my trip, will happily be wearing them all the time. Don't hesitate to purchase these boots, you will not be disappointed!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are cute and perfect for hiking. The soles have lugs for traction and the suede upper seems durable. They are very comfortable but I found them to be a half a size too short. I am always an 8.5 and in these, my toes were a bit smushed. Definitely size up, especially if you want to wear thick socks.
