[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These shoes are really comfy. I can say these are very stable and good looking shoes. The ankle gets well supported, and they are comfortable and flexible. You wouldn’t think they are that flexible by having a look to them while in your hands.
These shoes are comfortable, with good cushioning and ample space in the toe box. I have two issues with them though that will probably keep me from buying another pair. First, the tongue is oddly a little bit short for where the last eyelets are located and where the laces sit when tied. The laces keep wanting to slide over the top of the tongue and rest against the top of my ankle, which then messes up how secure the fit is because the laces aren't tight anymore. I have to tie the laces tigher than I'd otherwise like to keep my heel from sliding around because the laces won't stay in one place. Speaking of the laces, they're made of extremly smooth material that refuses to stay tied. Double knotting fixes the issue (and I suppose I could always just buy new laces), but I shouldn't have to.
I have been searching for the right shoes for some time. I have found the nimble, Konos, and Thrive to work well. They are comfortable and yet supportive. The one thing I would like Columbia to do is to improve the durability of the outsoles for each of these shoes. They are a bit soft and wear quickly, long before the shoe itself needs to be replaced. I have also tried Merrell, Keen, Danner etc all which have a much more durable outsole. Thank you for making a very comfortable, but please improve the durability of the outsole.
These are durable, comfortable, and very functional. My big complaint is that the shoelaces don't stay tied even half the day, and they're too short to double-knot. Will REI please tell Columbia to supply shoelaces that stay tied all day?
Size 12: I'm a reliable size 12 and these fit well. Good cushion. I added inserts to be safe as I have a high arch... a little worried about getting them wet but in dry conditions they seem fine.
A smidge on the narrower in the toe box. I'm hoping it breaks in a little and then it will fit like a glove.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Shoes are nice. The shoe laces are super short. The material is better than expected.
