Customer Reviews Columbia Drainmaker IV

I love these shoes Comfortable! Comfortable with superior build quality makes it a perfect choice for any occasion. The quality of the materials and well thought out design makes it the perfect adventure shoe. It adapts well to all kinds of conditions and terrain. And handles just about everything you can throw at it.

The shoes seem well made and sturdy. My husband has not worn them yet so I cant comment on that. My brother saw them and tried them on and really liked them. He said they seem like they would be comfortable to walk in. So far I am very pleased with my purchase!

Love this shoe so far. Very comfortable to wear without socks. Doesn't look like a typical water shoe and can be worn as a casual sneaker as well.

I have owned many water shoes in my day, but these are so far the best. Comfortable, well built, and enough protection to protect you from the elements but still ate light in weight. I also like that the holes that drain the water are sized properly so you don't get suction pain.

I bought these for my boyfriend last Christmas, after finding them online and he thought they were awesome. They're perfect for going on the boat and walking around on local islands/sandbars that are rocky, and drain super quickly. He also wears them as an everyday shoe, and he's obsessed. Coming back to buy another pair in the other color choice for his birthday. Do not disappoint!!

I love the drainage system in these shoes. I have had a pair that has elastic ties that cinch up, which I love, but could not find them on the website this year so I bought the ones with tie up laces. I was skeptical, but when they arrived I was pleasantly surprised. They fit beautifully and I have narrow feet. The color scheme is attractive as well. The only drawback is that they are not easily slipped off the way the elastic cinch laced shoes were, so there is untying time and effort which is awkward if you're in a kayak or a canoe. The tread is good for hiking where you may be crossing lots of streams or kayaking/canoeing in which you will be portaging over rocky ground

I bought these because I do a lot of water activities as well as hiking in the PNW, and honestly there's nothing worse then hiking with a shoe full of water. These are awesome! The are a little tight at first but will mostly loosen up to fit true to size. They drain water quickly and look great.

Well made and comfortable shoe

Fit great and comfortable. Really like these water shoes.

The times I've worn these, they are comfortable. I'm looking forward to when I can wear them at the beach and at a water park. Great shoes.

It performs great on pointy and sharp jetty rocks. It holds the grip very well, not slipping at all. Definitely a good shoe. I can't say anything about how long it would last since I had for only 10 days. But quality seems top.

Shoes are very comfortable....look and feel great. Run a bit small to true size ( At least for me, I wear a 1/2 size larger in Columbia shoes than others). Same great Columbia quality as always!

These shoes are very comfortable and gets the job done! Although I have not used in water

I really like this particular shoe style. Good fit and Comfortable. This is the second pair I've purchased in the past year. Highly Recommend!

I purchased these shoes to wear tournament bass fishing. I am very impressed so far. They have a great look, super lightweight, and amazingly comfortable! These shoes definitely perform great on the water while looking good in a casual setting. You can't go wrong with these shoes!

Quick shipping. Exactly as ordered . Actually a bit better than I had expected. They work as advertised. It's a little unusual having shoes that drain so fast. Used to walking around in soggy footwear.

True to fit and very comfortable. Would buy again

Colombia.What more could you ask for?

Great shoe Great Price Great look and tra comfortable.

It is easy for me at least to heap praise on the foot bed known as the Drainmaker IV Water Shoe. First though, I could have likely gone with a size 12. I purchased the 13's given my experience with my Asolo Hiking boots. I am very pleased with these shoes regardless of being slightly big. The reason being I am flat footed and usually need an orthodontic insert to keep me out of pain. To my delight I've worn them all day long and not had one issue. They appear very well made and they LOL...work as directed. So, not only did I get them for a steal my dogs love them too.

My husband loves these shoes for comfort. He's taking them to the Boundary Waters in a week, so we'll see how they hold up to getting wet, portaging rocky terrain, etc.

All I've done is try them on; but I have a previous iteration I bought about 5 years ago that is beginning to look a little worn down. There's a good reason for that, since I wear them every single day in the warm weather; no matter what I'm doing. I wear them to the office, I wear them to kayak. I wear them to fish. I wear them to shoot. I wear them everywhere but Church; and I'd wear them there on Sunday nights except we don't have that service any more due to COVID. They are comfortable, they dry quickly, and they give good traction on wet surfaces. Oh, and people think they look good; most especially my wife. I love them.

Wonderful! I got a size 1.5 greater than the measure scale. I measure at 11.5, but use the size 13 with a an orthotropic insert. The extra length keeps my toe nails away from the end of the shoes. I bump the heals of my feet before lacing the shoes.

I Only buy Columbia shoes. That are comfortable and well-made. By far the best shoes I've ever bought. My only wish is that they offered more styles in a size 15.

Love them they are awesome.
