Cute, but no cigar -
These slides are super cute in the glacier/black though they have little else to recommend them. They have no support and though they look cushiony they really are like going barefoot- which is fine if that is what you are going for and if you do not need support. The deal breaker for me was that the top/over the foot part hits at a very odd place on the foot which was very uncomfortable and despite the cute factor I had to send them back. So sad.

Shoe Goddess -
I have been looking for a sandal in what I call salmon or coral. When I saw this sandal in the color melonade I thought I would try it. I love the color but I wasn't crazy about the loop for the big toe. When I tried them on they were so comfortable. Will wear them a lot this summer.

Great arch support for a sandal!
I have to be very careful about having good arch support in my shoes, which is especially hard to find in a sandal. Considering that this sandal can't accommodate an orthotic, the arch support is really good, and the overall comfort is tremendous!

Disappointed -
I was surprised to see so many glowing reviews of this shoe. I found it to be so-so, and certainly not worth the price. I expect more from Columbia. The footbed is very comfortable, but the upper thong part is huge, and way too wide. The look is not quite as athletic as the picture leads you to believe - they look more like slippers to me.

As comfortable as an athletic shoe.
To say I have a difficult time finding shoes, is an understatement. I'm a size 5 to 5.5 (when wearing my orthodics), bordering on a wide width, with two surgeries on my right foot. Shoes have to fit just right for comfort and I LOVE SHOES.
These shoes were very comfortable (without orthodics), the elastic a little snug with them in, but tolerable. I wasn't sure I liked the look, until my very fashionable 32 year old daughter told me she really liked them. I defer to her for style and have gotten complements when wearing them. Zappos is an amazing company. I'm averaging about 6 pairs per order, just to get one to fit. Returns are easy, and everyone I talk to is gracious and helpful. I used to buy nearly all my shoes at Nordstrom, but from now on it will be from Zappos.

All Around the House Shoe -
I wanted this type of shoe, not a flip flop since I wear it all around the house. I have a pool so I especially wanted something that had great traction around water. This shoe fits the bill perfectly...comfortable and its Omni-grip gives me the confidence I need around slippery decks and pavement.

OK, but not as soft...
I thought the bed of this sandal would be a bit softer, but it's pretty hard. I've got a bone spur, so am very careful about the shoes I wear. There's good support, but it's not as cushy as I would've liked it to be. Toe strap is comfy - no break in period. It's just a bit stiff.

Very good shoes!
My feet hurt pretty bad from wearing steel toe boots at work all night, but when I come home and get to put these on, they feel awesome! These are some of the best shoes I have ever worn! Thank you!

Great shoe -
I wore out two pairs of Columbia Bear Claws and was disappointed to find that they were no longer available. I replaced them with the Trail Meister IV. I have been very pleased with these shoes having worn them about a month now. I don't think they feel quite as good as the Bear Claws but overall, they are a great shoe. They are comfortable with a good cushion. I am on my feet about 12 hours a day and so far these are holding up well.

My favourite summer shoe!
Bought in a sale, never regretted it. Buying another pair now! Really comfy, spring in the step shoes. Can be hiked, beached, rocked, strolled, cycled or festivalled in. The only mistake I made was the colour (beige… durr). This time I'm buying black!

I bought this sandal to wear on vacation. We did a lot of walking - sometimes in sand. The shoe gave my foot great support. This will be my weekend shoe this summer!

Nice shoe -
This is a nice, light weight casual shoe. It runs a bit narrow and I ordered my regular size and can't really wear an athletic sock with these. But so far they are very comfortable without a sock and cute.

Love ‘em - make sure to get them in a size smaller than the sneakers you wear. I predicted this because I have bought boat shoes in the past. They are really comfy w/o socks, breathe really well, and look awesome!

Great Shoe for the Price -
I picked a pair up in Portland at the Columbia home store over two years ago and they have been worn almost daily in trail hikes walking my dogs. Best fitting shoe of this type I have every worn. The trails I walk are very wet in the mornings from dew and I have never had my socks get wet. I am buying a new pair more than two years later as I have worn out the sole of my current pair.

Great Sandal -
I found this sandal on line last summer and thought I would try it. I loved them. I then bought 2 more pairs in various colors. This year I purchased 2 more. The main reason for buying this sandal is - I have problems with my feet. I need a wide sandal, with a cushion. When I found this type on Zappos I was delighted. Thank you Zappos. If you need a wide sandal and comfort try them.

Columbia's Aquatooth get and A by me.
I just recently bought these shoes and love them. They have great comfort and looks. About the only thing I don't like is some thing that I’m not sure if it my fault or not. For some reason my pair has a god awful smell to them. It might just be my feet or it could be the shoes I just don't know.

Very happy with hiking boots. They do run a half size small. I returned my first pair and the second ones fit perfect. I had no problem with the return. Would buy again from this company. Very comfortable and NO Blisters!!!
