Cuteness couldn’t save these boots. They run a half size small and are extremely narrow. They went back.

I am truly impressed with these shoes. I got them for my trip to Iceland and didn't have much time at all to break them in but they were still incredibly comfortable and durable. We hiked in snow, on ice, mud, and wet rocks and the whole time my feet stayed completely dry and had good grip to the ground.

I love them! Do not listen to reviews that say these are true to size - they run a full size small. I’m always an 11 and had to return for a 12, it wasn’t even close!

Felt a little narrow on first wear, but felt totally fine wearing them. Great shoe. I am normally a 5.5 to 6 and got a size 6.

Super lightweight. Comfortable. A must have! Great for rocky hikes, easy to run with if needed. Wore with thick and light socks. Overall my favorite hiking shoe.

I am so disappointed - I thought I found the perfect shoe: lightweight, waterproof, wide-width. Unfortunately 1. These shoes are not waterproof - my foot/sock got soaked on a shallow creek crossing which resulted in a terrible blister. 2. These shoes are not durable - the thread from the bottom is worn off and falling off after a first rugged hike (after 6mo of occasional short hikes on flat trail)

NOT WATERPROOF!! Not only do my feet get soaked after a few minutes of walking through wet grass, these boots started to show terrible signs of wear after only a few hikes. These are an absolute disappointment. Don't waste your money!!

I have been a long time Columbia shoe buyer - winter boots, hiking, trail runners, and casual sneakers. I was ready for a new pair of waterproof hiking boots and purchased these in an 8W. For a wide they are really not roomy as others have commented, but I only have a slightly wide foot so they are doable (but not great). My biggest complaint is, I don't know what environment these were tested in for waterproofing, but it was not one that contained water. Walk for 2 minutes through dewy grass and your feet will be soaked. I even waterproofed them in an attempt to make these work - I think they lasted about 5 minutes. Not the quality I would expect from Columbia, now I just suffer on shorter walks with soaking wet shoes (think: you hear the water squishing each step) and deal with the swampy stink later.

These are the first hiking boots I have bought. I was nervous to get a pair since I normally hike in tennis shoes, but decided I need more grip and ankle support to do tougher trails. These are the perfect hiking shoes for me because they are comfortable like tennis shoes. I hiked Seneca Rocks in WV (up 1,000 feet) and they were great. It rained the last 15 minutes and I stayed completely dry. I ordered .5 size up and they fit well.

I consider myself a true 11 and these fit great with my hiking socks. I love the color (burgundy with colorful laces) and the shoes are amazingly lightweight - not heavy and clunky like some hiking boots can be.

I bought these to use for when winter boots would be too much in WI. These are great. My feet stay warm and they are not too bulky

I'm usually a 5, I ordered 5.5 and they still felt pretty tight. They fit but not comfortably. I think a 6 would have probably fit best. I also wasn't a fan of how the boot itself kinda looks like a tennis shoe with the added length on the top. If I'm going to buy a hiking boot, I want it to look like a boot. Returned for the Columbia Newton Ridge (which fit perfectly at 5.5)

I am normally a size 5.5 I ordered these in a 6 to allow for socks. They ran small on me enough where I might consider ordering a size 7.

I bought these shoes for an upcoming trip to Ireland. I needed a comfortable for both the streets and trail walking/hiking. I cannot comment on the performance just yet, but they are very cute and I can't wait to put them to the test. They run slightly small my normal size is a 6.5/7, I ordered a size 7 and they seem a little tight with thick winter socks on.

Most reviews I read described these as running large so I ordered a half size up & they were way too big. Sadly I had to return them & couldn't reorder because I needed them for a trip. They were extremely comfortable, unfortunately I cannot say if they were waterproof (which was the main reason I bought them).

The Trailstorm shoes are perfect for my job. I work outdoors in South Florida so the waterproof element was really needed. They're super light weight which makes them comfortable to wear all day.

I had to exchange for a 1/2 a size larger and it turned out to be one of the most comfortable shoes I have ever had. The padding is excellent. After a two hour hike these shoes held up well and felt comfortable the whole time.

Hello! I used this pair of shoes for hiking and it was amazing. Soft and grippy sole. The terrain was very muddy and watery. My feet protected from the water. An excellent trip.

I was searching for a lightweight shoe that would actually keep my feet dry. These shoes were better than expected, and were comfy even during the first wear! I did buy my regular size in wide even though I usually dont wear wide fit, but the fit is perfect for thicker socks.
