Customer Reviews Columbia Dorado™ CVO PFG

Simply put these are my absolute favorite fishing/boating shoes I own. I have 4 pair in 3 different colors as I wear one of the 4 every day. I am a full time fishing guide and have been looking for the perfect shoes for several years. They are the most comfortable shoes I own and they also hold up great after many trips to the washing machine.

Second pair of these, can't go wrong. 1st black now tan, great job Columbia

I have gone through many types of water/boat shoes over the years . I need a shoe that can give good protection from wading in questionable river/bay bottoms that also supply superior traction when back on the boat deck as well as adequate support while at the helm, navigating a pounding chop. Some so-called water shoes I've tried were no better than a heavy pair of socks with no support. Other pairs I've gone through were heavy/clunky things that would have been named better as hiking shoes. I have gone through a lot of name brand ( and expensive) water shoes that seemed to perform as advertised only to have the sole material harden up after one season and lose any traction they may have had when new. I finally tried these Columbia PFG Dorado CVO's and these check all the boxes for me. In addition the mesh on the upper part of the shoe allows good drainage without allowing a lot of sand to enter the shoe. In all I am extremely pleased with my purchase.

Fits true to size. Good quality, very light, easy to put and take off. Hope they last long!

Good manufacture, comfortable, light and very fresh

I love these shoes, this is the second pair I buy in a different color.

Undoubtedly the best shoes I bought in recent years. Very comfortable and ideal for walking for a long time. I have a trip to Orlando and they are definitely the ones I will use.

I have not had a chance to try it out extended period of time but so far found it in good quality, fit and comfort.

Very comfortable and durable

Love the PFG line of shoes. Very cool looking summer ahoes and so comfortable. I get compliments all the time.

I bought them for my husband and this is what he says. These shoes are easy on and off and very comfortable. They are stylish as well. They are lightweight and slip resistant. I like them better than regular athletic shoes.

Columbia had not let me down yet with a description of a shoe and it's performance when compared thereto. These shoes are lite and very breathable. Like all Columbia shoes if you normally wear a lets say 15 in for example Under Armour, Adidas, Nike, etc then I suggest you get a size down to a 14. Compared to other brands these days I would say they run a little bit bigger. I'm from the old school where I used to be able to wear a particular size in several brands but those brands conformed to the majority, just the biggest shoe makers at the time, to make their shoes smaller thereby making me have to buy the bigger size which is usually that much harder to find. I love Columbia everything. It's comfortable. It lasts. It holds up. It's worth the money I pay for it.

I were this everyday (almost) to work. Comfortable. On my feet all day. Looks great. Several comments on their cool style. Great shoe. Great price.

These shoes are great for water sports as well as casual wear they are extremely comfortable.

I ordered these for my teenaged nephew who wore them immediately because they were so cool and comfortable. My brother also ordered a pair and won't shut up about them. They're easy to clean and dry out (both are avid fishermen.)

I love these shoes! Use them whenever I am on the boat or out on the water.

Finally found a pair of shoes that are comfortable without socks. Bought them for kayaking and sailing. They dry really quickly and are really versatile. I've gotten a number of compliments on how stylish they are. I very happy with my purchase.

My 11-year-old son absolutely loves PFG and these awesome shoes!

Love the shoe! So comfortable to walk around in, or fish off a boat. Runs true to size! I like my shoes a bit bigger so I order a 1/2 size bigger and it fit perfectly!

I recently purchased a pair of blue cvo Dorado shoes in May, they were so comfortable and fit the needs of what I wanted for doing kayaking and just casual wear. I was so impressed with them that I ordered another pair of black ones to match with everything, because I now wear them all the time. Every where I go people ask about them and I always refer them too thee Columbia website, I couldn't have picked a better shoe. Thank you guys!!!

My son loves these shoes and wears them all the time

I am always impressed with PFG products. this shoe is well built, fits really well and looks great. It may run a tad big but leaves ample room for your toes. (This isn't enough extra room to have your foot slide around in the shoe though.) Shoe fits comfortably snug, great grip and flexes in all the right places. No hot spots around the top/ on the ankle. It is a flat bottomed shoe so it isn't overly cushioned, but still gives ample support/ comfort. Overall wonderful shoe, especially for the price. A must buy if you're a Columbia/ PFG fan.

I had bought these for fishing Bass Tournaments because I trust the Columbia brand. Once again I was not disappointed! Comfortable shoes for standing on a deck for 8+ hours and very "breathable".

These do run big but so comfortable!

These are the fishing shoes I have always been looking for. Fit great and wear well.
