User Reviews
Fits well, is comfortable even after all day wear. Quality appears to be excellent.
Got 13 wide. Fit my son's feet well who struggles with size. Good price and quality
Great quality but run a bit small. I'm a solid size 13 but got a size 14W which fit great . I knew this only because I have bought this boot before .
This boot runs way small. Order Wide also... I wear 12, never had problems with any other make of shoe. Had to exchange for 13W and still a tad snug. Great support comfortable cushion and superior grip on surfaces though. Other than the sizing issues I would highly recommend these to anyone looking for a good hiking boot without shelling out a buck fifty.
Columbia boots run a half size big, at least in the wide size. I'm always a 10.5 but in these and the Newton Ridge , I'm a 10W. For me they do not run small like with other reviewers. They fit perfect. I'll update on their comfort and breathability.
Had to order a few times because the fit was smaller than expected. But these shoes are comfortable and look great!
I bought these for a 2 month excursion into the woods. But breaking them in now at work. The first day I wore ankle socks, normally I wear wool crews in boots since I am in a cooler (31⁰F) or freezer (<0⁰F). My feet stayed warm, didn't sweat too much, and when I left my feet were dry and not sweaty. I've worn thick wool socks, medium weight wool socks, and regular work socks, as well as athletic socks. Just need to tighten up laces depending on the socks I wear in them. Normally I wear 10.5 in men's (US measurements) in most shoes, but these I got in 11s. They fit nice and are comfortable, not water proof but highly water resistant in my experience.
