User Reviews
Perfect fit on my very wide feet. Highly recommend if you have hard time fitting like I did. The shoes are a hybrid tennis shoes/hiking shoes. They feel like tennis shoes and felt comfortable right out of the box, unlike typical hiking boots. But it does have a rugged sole to help grip the ground.
Very comfortable. True to size. Not waterproof.Great for dry hikes.
Not Columbia's typical quality.
Sent back and ordered the Columbia IVO TRAIL BREEZE which I have had before and were so very comfortable they arrive tomorrow and hopefully will fit as well as my old ones
Very comfortable, not waterproof, light weight
Great fit
My socks get soaked everytime we hike on wet soil or mud.
Super functional, sizes ran a tiny bit long though not really cute compared to other Columbia shoes
