Very happy with these. I was waiting to go on a planned hiking trip before I submitted my review. These required almost no break in time - however, I still wore them ahead of time to do this because nothing is worse than being stuck in a trail w sore feet. there are hook laces on the top, so I’m able to get these nice and secure. They don’t rub on my joints - they are higher than my ankle bones and have plenty of padding in the ankle portion of the the shoe and tongue. They kept my feet warm and dry but we’re still breathable. I do recommend wearing them with a sock that is marketed as ‘full cushioning’ or something of the sort - especially when hiking- because , while supportive, the foot bed is a tad hard.

Great sturdy hikers! I love that they resemble the iconic Danner hiking boots (brown leather, red laces), but for a fraction of the cost (and a fraction of many other boots, too). I've been wearing these for a couple seasons now, camping and hiking regularly, and they are holding up great. No wear visible. They keep my feet very comfortable, too. No foot soreness after quite a few miles!

These are great for the price!
Much more comfortable than my last pair of hiking boots. The colors are also a big plus! Functional and cute!

First pair of waterproof hiking boots that I have ordered that were actually water proof. Also, the first pair that I have purchased that were comfortable right out of the box.

This is my second pair of these! Great for winter wear in a greenhouse- keep my feet warm and dry as long as I don't dump water directly onto the mesh tongue. Could use a little more support, so I have to wear inserts. Only downside is that they only lasted a single fall/winter season before the old pair stretched and thinned out on flex points.

These are without a doubt the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned in any brand. I bought them for disc golfing every weekend with my boyfriend and I want to wear them every day! Unfortunately, as pretty as they are (bought the solely because of the gorgeous color) they are not office appropriate haha.
They keep me comfortable for long walks and prevent my legs from some unbearable nerve pain I get with other shoes, they are well worth the money. Sizing was PERFECT, love that they come in wide sizes. Buy them. Don't think, just do.

So the first time I wore these boots was to work - the delicate setting of a criminal defense firm. I figured I'd need to break them in, so I used the easiest terrain I could think of.
The second time I wore them was to Mount Mitchell. Took them on a couple of completely unforgiving trails, mercilessly abusing them for all they were worth.
These boots didn't give a single darn (wow I can't believe I can't curse here) - they held me in every condition and surface imaginable. Comfiest friggin' things ever. I didn't have one single blister, not half an inch anywhere rubbed raw - nothing.
Point is, they do not need to be broken in, they come ready and willing to take you to the harshest places imaginable. Buy them.

These boots are perfect support for hiking and quad riding. I ordered a half size up for thicker socks and fit just right. Would recommend for those outdoor adventures.

I got these boots the summer of 2020, and I have put them through the ringer. They have gone on multiple backpacking trips, casual hikes, and snow storms. Most importantly though, I wore these for my job as a restoration technician at a national park. I was hiking and scrambling anywhere to 8-15 miles a workday for 5 months. They never failed me, they kept my feet safe and secure. I have recommended these boots to all of my friends, and as they are finally on their last leg almost 2 years past when I got them, I am finally ordering another pair. If you are just getting into hiking, or are addicted like me, these are overall the best boot to get. I absolutely love them. For wide -feet people, these worked great for me. I have really wide feet, and these left me with just the right amount of room. I never had to worry about blisters either.

I need something I find comfortable and a little fashionable (at least a bit) for a cruise/land tour to Alaska. I am sure these will fit the bill. I usually wear an 8, received an 8, they did fit, but I wanted to make sure I did not ruin my whole trip with ill-fitting boots, so I ordered an 8.5, which I feel gives me just a little more room. I have been breaking them in, and I am very pleased with the fit and comfort.

They are comfortable from the get go! As comfortable as bedroom slippers. I will be wearing them to hike in Ireland this summer.

I am absolutely obsessed with these boots. Whenever I wear shoes I get blisters and to my surprise these didn't give me any at all! They are super comfortable and cute. I've already trekked in them a bunch of miles with no problem, while also getting some compliments while on trail :)

Cute and stylish, while also being comfortable. I have plantars fasciitis and these provided good arch support. I was able to walk hours around a convention without any pain the next day. I am a true 8 1/2 and ordered a 9 because of other reviews and the fact that I will always wear socks with these and they are a perfect fit. The laces allow you to tighten or loosen them to your comfort. Can’t wait to take them hiking. And the plum color is super cute and very versatile. They go with almost everything from khakis, jeans, to shorts.

Needed hiking books for a winter hike, these were perfect. They kept my feet warm, comfortable and steady throughout the hike. Fit true to size and the color is amazing.

Very comfortable for me with a narrow foot leaving cushioned pad in shoe and adding my own orthotics + rather thick socks. I chose another color option, but the same style and size. I haven't worn them outside yet, but will be breaking them in ahead of a trip with lots of hiking. They appear well made and the area at the front of the ankle is nice and cushiony.

Out of the Merrill and Scarpa order, this one was the winner. I have never had Columbia boots and hope that their non-Goretex and non-Vibram components are truly waterproof. The comfort is very good.
