Columbia Men's Woodburn 2 Low Rise Hiking Shoes

I've been searching for a decent pair of walking shoes for what seems like an eternity! Having tried various brands to no avail and cheaper options that perished far too quickly, I decided that, "you get what you pay for" and purchased a more expensive option. As soon as I took them out of the box, I could see the build quality was very good. Trying them on for the first time, they fitted almost perfectly and felt incredibly comfortable, as if alread worn in! So far, so good. I have been walking to and from work (a mile each way) for just over a week now and they are very comfortable. I cannot speak for the waterproofing as yet, or their longevity (having had other brands that began to perish after only a few months, this is something I will be very interested in observing). I will come back to this review and update it once I have greater experience of their build quality. The only negative I have noticed (and as another reviewer commented), the laces do tend to come loose. Maybe I need to learn to tie them in a reef knot instead! At the moment, top marks, but we'll see how they do after a greater period of time and use and I will update this review accordingly.Update 23 January 2021: Well, I've had these over a year now and they have held up well, looking barely worn since I removed them from the box. The undersole has also held up well (though slightly more worn on my right foot due to my walking style). They are just as comfortable and have also provided waterproofing during some heavy rain. Laces have to be double knotted to keep them tied, although even then, after a while become loose. It's a small gripe considering the quality of these shoes. So after a year in, I can still highly recommend these walkers (first 3 photos are after a years use).Update 15 February 2022: 2 years later these are still in great condition and just as comforable. I would certainly purchase a replacement if and when they are required. Highly recommended!Update 8 February 2023: 3 years in and still going strong, only negative is the stitching has come lose at the front slightly on the right shoe (photos added). Though they are still in good shape all round especially when considering I wear these every day. I've noticed how much the price has boosted since I bought these in 2020, I paid £57 and they're now £87, which is a around a 50% increase for the same item!

This review is for the following item(s):Columbia Men's Woodburn II Waterproof Trail Running Shoe.The shoes in question were sold & delivered by Amazon.I am rating them as a 5 star product.These shoes fit perfectly, look great and have to be the comfiest hiking shoe I have ever owned.... I have had a few brands in my time such as adidas terrex, Reebok & Solomon gortex units as I live in Scotland, so a breathable waterproof shoe is a must for me.The break in time was zero & felt great from the minute I put them on.These units are the waterproof version of this model & boast the following two great technologies: omni-tech & techlite.The hiking trainers in question retail on the manufacturer UK website for £90 so I got a fantastic bargain at the time of this review (09.05.2020).Its important that I have a good quality & comfy shoe with decent support due to a back injury.It is very doubtful moving forward that I will ever change from Columbia for my everyday waterproof hikers unless they change their very high standards.Well done Columbia & thank you Amazon for providing these trainers at a great price.Please note I am not an Amazon vine reviewer therefore the product(s) mentioned are purchased using my own hard earned cash.

Very comfortable and pretty lightweight shoes and of course waterproof (i did not try it in heavy rain yet, still just light rain). For my feet it does not feel tight in any part of shoes at all, it is comfortable wide for me. Shoe sole it quite low that is what i really like, i feel more stable without high shoe sole. I had Merrell Moab FST and i did not like it as shoe sole was high and heavier ,these Columbia shoes are way better.The only con is it gets warm inside so i think for summer or hot weather it would not be so comfortable but in autumn, winter and spring it is fine (UK) but note that i am kind of person who can handle colder temperature better than others so other people would not probable feel warmer with these shoes like me, except this little temperature thing i would give it 5 STARS. Design is pretty nice as well. That is initial experience, just 1 week old shoes. Great value for the price, i hope it last long as some people wrote in reviews !!!! My rating 4,5 STARS !!!!

The Columbia Men's Woodburn 2 Low Rise Hiking Shoes are perfect for outdoor enthusiasts. They offer excellent comfort and durability with their sturdy construction and cushioned insoles. The shoes provide great traction on various terrains, ensuring a secure grip. Lightweight and stylish, they're ideal for both hiking and everyday wear, making them a versatile addition to your footwear collection.

All I wear in casual shoes are Columbia; they are made with quality. I like because larger sizes are not long in the front so they look good and reduce tripping.

Buenos zapatos, buena calidad y precio

Se los compré a mi hijo adolescente.. y desde hace 5 meses no quiere usar otros zapatos. Muy cómodos.. y por ahora llevan 5 meses intensos sin mostrar signos de daño. Recomendables!

I wear a size 10 and these shoes fit true to size. They are relatively light weight and hold up to all kinds of environments. We hike about 3 miles everyday we can up a mountain and these shoes have held up very well. They were comfortable from the moment I put them on. I really like these shoes and interchange them with my Salomons. I highly recommend this product.

I purchased these shoes because I was so impressed with my recent Columbia hiking boot purchase. And even though I don't plan on using these for hiking, I wanted something for everyday use that was rugged, waterproof and had the feel of a good hiking shoe, not a fashion sneaker.These Columbia shoes are simply excellent. Great materials and construction quality with the rugged look and feel of a good hiking shoe that is also at home around the house or in the office. These shoes are true to size and fit me perfectly (Size 12). And I wanted a trusted name in the sportswear market, not some no name company with questionable quality. Well Done Columbia! Highly recommended.
