Got it Sunday, wore it on Monday to my office. Bumped the front of the left shoe on a table leg and to my surprise the grey is actually painted on. You can see the dotted material where the paint scratched off. I am so disappointed. I Love Columbia gear and I had to drive so far to get these shoes. Will be returning them as soon as I can

Good boot, almost great.

4 years ago

Pros: Great design, material, comfort. Cons: Started to split from soul within a week, glue showing on top of toe, lace holes don’t go up quite high enough which makes it really tight at the crease of your foot and shin.

Not completely waterproof

1 year ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m a mail carrier in the Midwest. I bought these about 2 years ago and was. Very surprised by the comfort and waterproof. I only used the boots during the winter months and within a month or two water started seeping in and the insoles made them very uncomfortable to wear. Surprisingly the soles have really stood up to the wear and tear.

Warm, dry, stylish performance

2 years ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Over all first impression is I’m really impressed. I want to take them in some back country with some snow shoes really get an idea for how they’ll hold up, but having just spent a good afternoon outside in a snowy slushy storm trying to get some things done outside, I suddenly realized my feet were my warmest most comfortable part of everything I had. I am honesty surprised at how very warm they are for as light as they are. As a bounce I love that they are not a huge clunky obvious snow boot. They are sleek, stylish, and unassuming in appearance. My only thing I think could have been better is that the waterproofing layer have been extended up the boot just a little. This issue is likely solved in the tall variety, but my feet need a wide and this was the only option.

look great and comfortable, but...

5 years ago

I bought these last year. They looked great and were very comfortable out of the box. The laces shredded after a few weeks of use. Not a big problem, I just replaced them with more heavy duty laces. Not great, but definitely not a deal breaker. So from November through mid February (in Minneapolis, MN) they were pretty good at being warm and dry. I used them for mile or so long dog walks and casual wear. By the end of February, however, the waterproofing had completely crapped out. I expect more than a partial season of use, especially from a Columbia product. I hope I just got a dud and this is not a sign of the decline.

No, I do not recommend this product

Glue outline around Toe box

4 years ago

Too much glue. We needed these for a weekend ski trip, Great structured boot however the toe box seams is outlined with excessive white glue that is visible, this makes it less attractive. Would have returned if time allowed.

Awesome boots!

6 years ago

After having my North Face boots blow out at the seams I decided to give these a try. I was skeptical that they would be warm enough or waterproof and they have proven to be both! Aside from looking great, they wear like shoes and are extremely comfortable. I have done 8-10 hour stints without taking them off and aside from my feet being too warm at times, they feel like an tried and true pair of sneakers. The treads are grippy without being extremely bulky which is a huge plus Time will tell how durable they are, but impressed so far. I know another user had an incident with the rubber toe cap scuffing/tearing. I have not been easy on mine and they still look great. Very pleased with these especially at the clearance price.
