Very comfortable, but the color on the site is a bit off... These shoes are very comfortable and look good, but the color in the photo is a little less green that they actually are (they're very green indeed!). If you don't want really green shoes, look at the other colors.

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!

These shoes LAST! These were ordered for my 16 year old son, in a size 17! Columbia is a brand we have come to trust. As hard as the kid is on his shoes, wearing them everyday to school and PE, walking the dog each night, mowing the lawn, hiking with friends in the mountains, these shoes held up for nearly a year. In our house, a year is an amazing accomplishment for a shoe! We didn't even get four months out of other brands. Also, the Columbia people sell shoes in ski-sizes like 17, which not every company does.

Very well ventilated - These are remarkably well ventilated and very comfortable making them a good choice for summer. Style and color (flax) is good and they may have better support than the NB 621 I also purchased.

NICE BUT CRAMPED - This shoe needs to be ordered a full size larger than whatever size one is used to. The style is attractive. The bottoms are showing fast wear, though.

Purchased for trail hiking in Colorado. Very comfortable with thick padding around laces. Works great for what I used them for, but would like to see it a euro 50 instead of a euro 49. It would make it a true size 16 instead of being slightly small.

Bought these for my husband and he LOVES them. Perfect for a hike or general running around. He says the fit is true-to-size and very comfy. The coloring of the shoe in the brown tones is darker on the website than they actually are...seem more like taupe/grey, but still a nice looking shoe. As usual, Zappos shipping is unprecedented.

Great Shoe - First time user of Columbia's shoes. Very comfy right out of the box. I have owned and used this as an everyday/every condition shoe and am very happy and satisfied with this shoe so far. Great traction on all surfaces that I've encountered. Ordering from Zappos was quick and easy and shipping was lightning fast! Very satisfied with this experience all around.

Cool and Comfortable - As my feet perspire readily, I was looking for a comfortable shoe that allowed "breathing" to take place at the same time fitting well to the foot. This shoe works in both areas. Recommended.
