ColumbiaMen's Redmond Mid Waterproof Hiking Boot, Cordovan, Dark Banana, 43 EU

Very happy with the product, got at half price compared to showroom

I have less than 20 miles on these but thought I could review them none the less. I normally wear size 12m (US). These boots feel a half size small. I need to wear lightweight socks with them because medium weight socks make the boot fit too tight. I can't even get the boots on with my winter socks.When I wear the appropriate socks, the boots are comfortable and offer very good support. The arch is fine for me and the heel doesn't wander. The toe box is tight and this is where it would be nice to have the extra half size.They are warm even with the lightweight socks but this is fine as I will use them in the colder weather anyway. No doubt they are warm because of the waterproofing, this attribute I haven't been able to check because the weather so far has been rather dry.Most of my "hiking" is the urban variety so I will probably never test the limits of the boots ruggedness. I usually just wear out my boots as opposed to having them fail through use. Hopefully I'll get a few years worth of walking before the soles wear through.Update April 2020; 4 star is right for these boots. I've put a few hundred miles on these in all types of weather. They are wearing well. They still run warm so I don't wear them when the temp exceeds 75. They are not water "proof" but are very resistant. Heavy rains do not penetrate but water will get in if you walk through multiple puddles.

Ich hatte Bedenken wegen der Belüftung, Hitzestau oder Bequemlichkeit, alles sehr gut. Nach einigen Wochen hatte ich Bedenken weil es sich anfühlte als ob ich über die Aussenkante rollen würde - war etwas anderes. Je nachdem welche Socken ich trage verhält sich der Fuß im Schuh anders, ausser bei dünnen Businesssocken aber keinerlei Beanstandung.Bislang konnte ich weder bei Kälte oder Nässe irgendein Problem feststellen, acuh nach 20 km (i.W. durch die Stadt) fühlt sich der Fuß und die Schuhe gut an - klare Kaufempfehlung von meiner Seite, wenn es denn ein halbhoher Trecking Schuh sein soll.

First pair i bought ive had for about 10 years they still are holding togther perfectly, thebtred has worn down over time but the shoe still looks great, i have 2 other pairs that are 5 years old still wearing them today. These shoes are the BEST and i really mean that. They just last no matter what your doing in them. Best money you will ever spend on shoes i promise.They are comfortable. If you have a wider foot get the wide option as the standard has a narrow toe box.

I ordered the mens 9.5/women's 12 and received 12 mens as this is listed a s a mens shoe. Otherwise a nice shoe. Lightweight and deep treads. Just be careful what size you order. It seems to run a bit narrow though.
