Customer Reviews Columbia Trailstorm Waterproof Hiking Shoes

Beautiful Shoes. Runs a little small. I recommend buying 1/2 size larger.

Do not size up, I followed other input which said they can run short, not true!

I wear size 13. Ordered size 14. Perfect fit. Very comfortable.

The shoes are great other than a very irritating seam right across the toes. I knows shoes have to be broken in and seams are to be expected, but this seam irritated the toes so badly that I could not wear them for a few days and it almost formed a blister. Now that they are finally broken in, they are more comfortable, but that severe seam was rather annoying

I really like the shoe. They do run slightly narrow compared to other Columbia shoes I have. After breaking in they did loosen up some, but recommend get the 1/2 size larger.

I am on my feet all day as a RN. I need a shoe with a soft cushioning and rigid support. So, not quite a stiff trail shoe and not a mushy running shoe either. I need something in-between. I believe the Trailstorm fits the bill. The sole is really well cushioned and my feet felt much better at the end of the shift. In addition, the waterproof liner is a must for me. I used to wear regular running shoes and grew tired of cleaning my socks and feet when patients "fluids" spilled on them. I haven't worried about this since I have been wearing Trailstorms. They also have a molded on rubber-like toe surround which provides some toe protection, a bonus. Their only fault, the toe box is a bit narrow compared to other Columbia Wide shoes (different lasts?). This makes them just a bit snug for my 3E wide feet. I solved this by wearing thin socks. If it were not for this I would give the Trailstorm 5 Stars. I will be purchasing another pair and recommend them if you spend a lot of time on feet. Cheers!

Runs small. I bought a 10, which I normally wear, and the legth was ok but they were too tight around the transverse arch.

It's a good shoe I would go up a size or order wide. I ordered these in May and by August they where shot, But I walk between 10 to 12 miles a day. Would be a good shoe for average use

Order a size up or wide. I'm usually a 7 and had to return.

I just got these and was disappointed with the size, way too narrow and tight in the toes. No room for breaking in.

Seems to be sturdy and waterproof but not very stylish in appearance

Good shoe but very narrow. They are waterproof and grip well over wet surfaces. Cushioned sole is comfortable but the main issue is that it's narrow. My feet are not wide but shoe is narrow around the toes to right before the arch support. Not sure sizing up would help. Does seem to stretch out after a while.

My foot size is 9.5. I bought wide, but it still bothers my feet. I tried another model the same aize, this one was well fitted.
