Comfortable and Good Traction
Love these shoes, especially for the discounted price. They are very comfortable. I normally wear 8.5, I ordered the same size and it fit perfectly. Seems to have good traction on wet ground. Though keep in mind that these are NOT waterproof, but still they are now my go-to shoes for rainy days. BTW, they don't squeak on hardwood floor.

Comfortable, Lightweight, and Stylish for Everyday Wear
📝 Quick Review These sneakers are comfortable right out of the box, with a lightweight feel that makes them great for all-day wear. The breathable upper keeps feet cool, while the cushioned sole provides solid support for walking, casual hikes, or running errands. The style is versatile enough to pair with jeans, shorts, or outdoor gear. 👟 Why They Stand Out Lightweight design for extended comfort Breathable materials help keep feet dry Cushioned sole offers good shock absorption Sleek, casual style works in multiple settings ✅ Final Thoughts A well-made, versatile sneaker that blends comfort and style, perfect for both outdoor adventures and everyday activities.

Decent hiking sneakers, would purchase again
Comfortable and lightweight. The laces are quite odd-looking in person, and I feel like they immediately looked old, the first time on the trail; however, they held up for a year (which is typical for me). These are NOT waterproof in any way, just an FYI. I use these are my dry-season hiking sneakers, and I have alternates for the wet/cold seasons.

This is the shoe with grip, style, and comfort!
I normally don't write reviews, but after trying on these shoes and walking around in them I felt compelled. These shoes have so much grip and feel so comfortable to wear that I'm a new fan. They're not a walking shoe as much s they're a hiking shoe, but they go great with my semi casual wear. Thank you Columbia for knocking this one out of the park!

Comfortable with great traction
I really like these shoes for daily wear. I would classify them as casual outdoor shoes. They are very comfortable but lack the support of a true outdoor or hiking boot/shoe. If you're thinking these are replacements for something like a Keen hiking shoe, they're not built to the level of a Keen. But that's ok, they serve a purpose and for the price, I'm very happy with them. They fit true to size for me and they've held up very well over the past couple of months. They look good, have great traction, and for the price I'm very happy. For heavy duty trail use they may fail sooner than something like a Keen, but then again, you paid less than half the price, so maybe that's ok. I think they perform very well for the price range.

Fair
Decent shoe but only lasted about 4 months before the sole came unglued. Worn almost every day outside in, dirt, mud etc. I work on a ranch but don’t like clunking around in boots. Other than the sole separating, the shoes held up and were comfortable.

Best shoes! I have put hundreds of trail and city miles on these shoes.
I have spent the past year looking for the right shoes to wear on a 200+ mile hike through rugged, mountainous terrain in north central Spain. Since the trip also involved some road and city walking, I needed a pair of shoes that could handle anything--with enough tread to keep me safe on steep ascents and descents, but not so aggressive as to make walking on pavement uncomfortable. These shoes were perfect--If you have ever hiked the Camino Primitivo, you know the demands of that trail. After 200 miles/300km, the tread still looks like new. These shoes made the trip very comfortable for my feet. I normally wear wide sizes, but these don't come in wide. However, there was plenty of room in the toe box for my feet to spread out, and there no issues with feet swelling towards the end of a long day of hiking. I did not need to size up for this backpacking trip--the shoes had just enough room for my feet to breathe and move, but were also secure enough and breathable enough that I did not develop any of the dreaded heel blisters. The shoes are not waterproof--I chose breathability instead for the hot weather. Early one day, I stepped in mud up to my calf, and the shoe and sock underneath were dry within 45 minutes of walking. This incident did not affect the fit or performance of the shoe. This shoe does not have much cushioning, and again this is why I chose it. There is just enough to support my feet and joints, and it also allows me to feel the trail beneath my feet--which really helps prevent a rolled or sprained ankle. This was a surprise to me, as I run on heavily-cushioned Hokas; for walking, this minimally-cushioned shoe was perfect. I had no joint problems. I had an older pair of these shoes, which I have worn every day around the city where I live. These shoes handle uneven, poorly-repaired sidewalks, grass, and wet concrete and brick very well. This is one of the most comfortable, versatile pair of shoes I have ever owned. There is enough flexibility in the shoe to adjust your tie to a thin summer sock or a thicker merino wool sock for hiking or cold weather. They look nice, too. The black color fits in any business casual setting, or even with a suit on a regular day in the office. Finally, the price is excellent--this is also one of the least expensive pair of shoes I have purchased in years. It's a steal. The pictures show my shoes after completing the Camino de Santiago. Given that I now have two pairs of these, I don't expect to have to replace them for another year.

I hate buying shoes because I can never find any at malls because I have size 14. I ordered these thinking ill most likely return them (Size 14) and they are the most comfortable shoes I can ever remember wearing! Very happy with these shoes! Wide Toe box, solid but good flex, couldn't recommend more!

Very impressed with these columbia walking shoes, as the title says I put them on as soon as they were delivered yesterday and I have so far walked a couple of miles in them, they feel like pre broken in shoes while being brand new. Highly recommended!
