Customer Reviews Columbia Facet™ 75 Alpha Outdry™

Great pair of hiking boots. Great fit. Great Ankle support. Most comfortable boots I have ever worn

I bought the Facet Outdry from a couple years ago and loved them. This model hasnt disappointed. Its a great shoe.

The sleek design is phenomenal. Dynamic, elegant, robust.

I have been a a big fan of the facet line. As I write this review, I'm wearing the facet 45. The Facet 75 alpha has some notable improvements in the synching system and the rear, pull on loop. These shoes are absolutely necessary for Pacific Northwest weather. They are easy to get on, have great traction, keep my feet dry, and look cool

My Fiance and I bought these for our trip to Alaska. The fit is a little funny and I ended up going down 1/2 a size where I feel the shoe is narrow and I have wide feet. My toes don't feel "secure". However, after a pretty thorough testing of hiking through rainy streets and trails to water falls our feet were dry and very comfortable. We walked through puddles and through shallow streams with no issue. Good grip on wet rocks. We have used them to walk our dogs in the morning dew or if it's raining out. The right socks/ rain pants are essential as if you do have water leak down your ankle you'll have wet feet. The overall fit is strange, but the shoes delivered.

Love the shoes but they run really big IMO. Normally an 11.5 had to re-order 10.5

The quality of the shoe is nice however the only issue I dealt with was at the back of the shoe. The HEEL LOOP that assisted on pulling the shoe on broke requiring me to reinforce with needle & thread. Other than that, great shoe.

I wanted to really like this shoe, the weird fit of the right shoe made me return them. My heel kept lifting out and they just didn't feel like a premium hiking shoe

The front part "vamp" of this shoe feels rigid and wired when wearing. It also looks bigger than I thought.

Great looking shoe and comfortable. Biggest problem is the shoe laces are "bungee laces". They only tighten around the ankle and not the toes. Not ideal for hiking. I'm going to return and order the normal shoe version that has laces.

Not waterproof, walking through wet grass for a few hours and my socks are soaked when I get home. I would not recommend it.
