Absolutely love! I wore them for a 3 mile hike in Alaska straight out of the box and felt wonderful the whole time. Great tread, lightweight feel and stability all at once.

Great shoe for hiking - very comfortable though a little on the heavy side

I wore them in in a snowy, wet, and cold climate for almost a week and they kept my feet warm and dry. And of course I think the style is cute too! Highly recommend!

This is a very nice boot, I ordered it along with the Ariat Terrain H2O for comparison. They are both quite comforatable but for a D width I didn't think there was much room in it. I liked the look but I also wonder if the all suede upper will really tolerate muddy hikes in Hawaii and snowy hikes in Utah. It was a tough choice becuase this is a very well made boot, but I went with the Ariat.

I am consistently a size 9 but had to go down 1/2 size in this shoe. The original pair would painfully crease into the top of my foot near the toes when walking, and they were too long. Other than that, I love the color and look and kept the pair that is 1/2 size smaller. I don't know how well they are with wear and tear and water so I'll have to update on this later! I'm a little afraid of ruining the beautiful color! idk how well they will clean up!

Have been easy to break in. Good fit. Appear sturdy enough for the long hike.

These boots look great with their caramel color and red laces. They are very well cushioned. I can wear them all day walking and my feet are comfortable and warm. I have worn them on a 12 day and my feet stayed warm. This is a great boot.

If you're looking for a good quality hiking boots, these are the ones for you! A bonus too: they fit to size. I purchased them online and they fit perfectly!

I originally bought the sunset red, but they were a bit on the pink side for my taste, so I returned them for the black ones. They fit perfectly and haven't needed a "break in" period like some shoes I've had. The toe crease hits at an awkward spot, but after a while you don't notice it. They are wonderfully waterproof. My friend got her car stuck in the mud, and these boots kept my feet warm and dry while we got it out.

Anyone can have brown hiking boots, red is special! I wear a 7 and I bought a 7. Fits perfectly. I don't have a wide foot. I've worn them once for street use, not hiking. They are very lightweight.

These were too narrow across the ball of my daughter's foot, so we had to return them. I slipped one on (my foot is narrow and 2 sizes smaller), and I think if they had been in my size I would've kept them. They are really secure-feeling, and comfy around the ankle. Seem like a nice quality boot. Expect to buy a separate insole with an arch support (this is a pet peeve of mine, that you spend big bucks on nice shoes - of any kind - and they expect you to replace their diddly squat insole). This follows suit, with a very basic insole being provided. My daughter also said the length was a tad short. We would've gotten 11.5, based on other reviews, if it came in that size.

I took these on a trip to Utah and my feet were hurting by the second leg of my first hike. They definitely need inserts. I’d like to return them for a more comfortable pair but I’m afraid I won’t be able to since I wore them. Not sure what I’ll do yet. The look is great but the comfort and support are lacking for serious hiking.

It was my first Columbia order. I needed boots that will keep me warm during cold weather. Normally I wear 6, but I thought that 6,5 will be better. However, it runs a little large. I hope it will be okay with thick socks. Overall, I am satisfied with this product.

So I originally got these a full size up because I was told thats what needed to happen if I wanted to add insoles, i ended up going down half a size. They still fit a little big even with insoles but I hope my hiking socks will help. I loved the color and the traction on the bottom. I havent fully tested how waterproof they are but i got through mud with almost no problem or slip. I plan on wearing these more often as the weather drops but so far they have kept my feet warm. I would recommend these boots.

Seems like they would be very comfortable, except not as wide as I would like. I have a bunion so wide width usually works, but these were a bit too narrow. I like them otherwise so I bought shoe stretchers and that helped so I could keep the boots.

Used this weekend for camping and they are great! Water proof is awesome too. 8In October I will use for hiking in Virginia so we will see how they hold up.

I've worn these hiking once and they feel pretty good. I was on a little bit of a tough hike and it was a little wet and they are sturdy. It wasn't cold when I wore them so I don't know how warm they are.

Ordered wide, they felt to be right size and width. However, it feels that there is no cushioning in these, esp under ball of foot. If I kept they'd need an insert for cushioning and a little more arch support. Blue is beautiful, but don't know how practical it is for hiking in rain, muck, etc.

I get a lot of compliments on the blue color :) I went with wide this time because my old Columbia shoes tended to give me blisters on longer hikes. Great purchase! It might need some extra comfort, but I put some pads in them and they're great.

I am really pleased with my boots, they are ever so comfortable. The reason I didn't give all my ratings as excellent is that recently I went for a walk and it rained and my feet got very wet and so I am not sure about how waterproof the boots actually are.
