Columbia Men's REDMOND WATERPROOF Wide Hiking Shoe

I have used this shoes for everything, everything that you can imagine, from the asphalt to the mountain and back, trekking, camping, running, one of the best shoes that I've ever had. They didn't even teared down, just the soil started to fall in pieces after 5 years of hard sork. Thanks Columbia for doing such a nice job in this item. Planning To buy them again.

I’ve taken these boots to Macchu Piccu, the Alps, and Utah and have never failed to perform. I’ve had these for 5 years and still planning on wearing them another 5! Great support and good grip. Try them and make sure they fit. That is the most important feature of any boot to prevent pain and blisters.

I hike 4.5 miles daily. I wear these hiking shoes daily, am on my third pair. Generally, life is about 6 months, which in my case is about 800 miles. I find the wear spot is directly beneath my heel, inside the shoe. A tiny pebble will work its way in, and create a divot in the insole.

Have had for a month or so now. Very comfortable, I have walked many miles in them at this point, and they still look great. Will purchase again.

I've walked – outdoors – about 2 miles a day for the past 20 years, some on trails, but in recent years, more often on concrete and asphalt pavement. Over the decades, I've purchased and worn (and worn out) half a dozen different brands of "trail" and "walking" shoes, some waterproof, some not, a pair designed for "stability," and the rest not. These shoes from Columbia are easily the best walking shoes I've ever worn – I'm now on my 3rd pair. My feet are slightly narrow ("C" width – which few manufacturers make), but even in a "D" width, the fit is quite good. I've had no issues with their being waterproof, and stomp through puddles without a second thought. Durability has been excellent, with 800-900 miles (about 15 months) before a pair has worn out. I wear them pretty much all day, every day, and traction on rock, trails and pavement (wet or dry) is excellent. I don't walk indoors (i.e., mall-walking) with any frequency, so I don't have an opinion about the shoe's traction on a smooth mall floor. They're very good in snow, not very good on ice, but I've never had a pair of shoes that was any good on ice unless I was wearing crampons. One reviewer didn't like the rounded heel, but for me – I'm 73, but don't have any "stability" issues – the rounded heel is precisely why the shoes are so comfortable.The rounded heel allows my foot strike to be totally natural – there's no squared-off heel forcing my foot into a particular angle or direction – and my foot then naturally rolls to its natural position as I continue the step and push off. The result is a very comfortable and natural gait, with none of the "slapping" I've seen some old guys like me have when the ball of their foot comes down on the walking surface. I rarely dress formally in retirement, so don't mind the "outdoors-y" look of the shoe, and I've purchased and worn them in both black and brown. They've been equally durable and comfortable, regardless of color. The only negative I can think of is that the laces supplied with the shoes are – as is usual nowadays – far too long, and I've had to buy another, shorter, pair of laces to avoid having a loop dragging on the ground.I hope they're still available 10 years from now, and wish Columbia would make a genuine hiking boot with the same kind of heel.

Excelente zapatos para trabajo, muy cómodos, probados no le entra agua , yo trabajo en lugares húmedos, cumplieron mis expectativas

The shoe is nice. Good feel the first time I wore the shoe and went for a walk to break them in. Great grip as well. Haven't tested water resistance yet but as long as they can repel rain and shallow puddle water that's all I need. My only con to the whole shoe, and it's a little minor thing, is the heel end of the sole feels maybe a little narrower than it probably should be. I wonder if I'm going to run into instances where my heel strike might wobble a bit because the heel just isnt quite as wide as I'd prefer. It's not a reason to not buy the shoe but I love stability when working and most of the shoe feels stable I just wonder how the heel will feel after a few weeks. I like the shoe though and the brand is reliable so for under $100 I'd say this is a good shoe to target for mild hiking. I don't use it for that - I use the shoes for work as I'm a satellite installer for internet and phone and needed something with better grip and could handle getting wet. I feel confident that these shoes will get it done. If not I'll update my review if they slip up in the early going. I don't expect shoes to last forever but I'd like to get at least a year out of these.

Realmente son muy cómodas y de excelente calidad, llegaron antes de lo previsto.

Good shoes...but somehow they are not like my last pair. Same model but.....not sure what is it but a little bit too tight

Super cómodos, ligeros y frescos, hago senderismo y aún en caminatas largas y extenuantes, son tan ligeros que no agregan cansancio, además, me ha tocado usarlos en lluvias medias y no les entra el agua. Los recomiendo ampliamente, la talla es exacta a la normal, así que recomiendo pedir el número usual, yo los pedí medio número más grande para las caminatas y me quedaron muy bien. Materiales resistentes y de gran calidad, con suelas de alto agarre, aun en terrenos mojados, mantienen un buen agarre y no hay riesgo de resbalones.

Excelente producto

Uso 6.5 MX y pedí en tamaño 7 (9US), pues recuerda que en zapatos o botas de trekking es recomendable pedir medio número mas para darle espacio a tus dedos cuando vayas bajando una pendiente; y me quedaron perfectos porque además tengo pie ancho. Los usé para trekking en clima caluroso y después a pie de río; la impermeabilidad mantuvo el pie seco probando que el agua cubriera media altura, además, dicha impermeabilidad no hizo que mi pie resultara sudado en extremo a pesar del clima.
