Men's Trailstorm Mid Waterproof Hiking Shoe

I wore these on a recent trip to Galapagos and Machu Picchu. I was so glad to have the additional support around my ankles. I walked over very rough lava rock and these boots had great grip. I never slipped in these even on wet rocks. I looked at the soles and they were not chewed up by the sharp lava rock. At home, I washed them and the removable insoles. They don't seem to have any odor issues. I found that light socks are the most comfortable. Heavier socks give a snugger fit, which I find uncomfortable if I'm sitting for long periods, e.g. on a plane. Putting them on and removing require you to loosen the top half of the laces. They tie neatly, but require you to do a final knot with the loops to keep them from dragging on the ground. They stayed tied and snug during hours of hiking. These are light boots, and water tight. The color I chose is great, and I think these are a great buy for the occasional hikes.

I absolutely love these shoes. Bought them for a trip to Yellowstone, Grand Teton, and Zion. I’ve put on about 40-50 miles in these shoes, with mixed miles on dirt and streets. About half these miles were with my 35lb 3 year old, and 8lb carrier on my back. They have been great. No pain in my feet, felt completely stable, and comfortable. Couple times on my hikes I stepped wrong and the boot saved me from rolling my ankle. As for the waterproof feature, I can back it 100%. On our trip, we had rain, snow, mud, hiked several miles in snow, and a play day in the snow. With my pants tucked in the shoes, my feet stayed dried the whole time. A few times snow was up to my shins and I was fine. After an hour I did feel the cold, but again my feet stayed dried. Only issue I had with the shoes, is due to the toe box being kind of narrow. If my socks are not perfectly on, I can feel the toe seem of my socks rubbing the shoes. I only get that feeling with narrow shoes. With these I just have to readjust my socks and I’m fine. Highly recommend them. Another big plus, they were pretty easy to clean Zion mud off of.

I bought these expressly for a recent hiking trip that was both rigorous and wet. They performed very well. I know these shoes say “waterproof,” as do thousands of other pairs, but I never fully expect that to be the case. By-and-large, these did seem to be waterproof, at least until I had water spill over the top cuff of the shoe. They are very definitely water resistant. More importantly, they are immensely comfortable. They feel like snug slippers that wrap around and protect my feet. They have a pretty good grip. I will say that they are better suited for trails than roads. I more recently walked about 8 miles on pavement—(don’t ask)—and while they were comfortable, my feet were getting warm by the end. There were also some odd pressure points at various points on my feet, probably due to the aforementioned snugness. Here’s the TLDR version: I’ll probably buy a backup pair of these, because I love them, especially at the under $50 price point.

I work for a plant nursery where I'm on my feet 8+ hours a day, and there's water EVERYWHERE. Naturally, when looking for shoes, I look for something comfortable and waterproof. Overall, these are excellent for exactly what I'm using them for! They're quite comfortable on my feet, and so far the only water that has gotten into them is when I spill water into them through the top. Moving about on wet/muddy surfaces, I have had no issues with traction. They're about a half size too small. I ordered my typical size, and my toes are a little crammed in. With wear, they've loosened up a *little* and I expect they will continue to do so. Where the laces go through the ankle section, they pull the neck of the shoe closed in a way that digs into my leg and makes it hard to put the shoe on and off. Not using the very top eyelet on the ankle resolved both issues, though this means they don't have as much ankle support as they are probably supposed to provide. I wanted VERY badly to give them a 5, but I think the size and the comfort issues merit losing a star. They're not perfect, but they're pretty darn close.

They began to flake and tear IMMEDIATELY so they lost any “waterproofing” they are also very thick foam and earned me the nickname “paddle foot” I took a gamble on these and I lost. Columbia is very difficult 4-6 weeks before you can get money back on warranty. And I HAVE TO PAY TO SHIP THESE BROKEN SHOES AND “CLEAN THEM” I’m FURIOUS! WHAT SHOES AM I GOING TO WEAR?!? I cannot afford to buy new shoes after blowing the whole wad on shoes that blew out within DAYS Well I bought some cheap ones from target that are blowing these out of the water (and actually waterproof for less than half of what these cost) The tips started to peel off very quickly, and I started bringing grass into my house and my cat ate it. It also is VERY heavy foam. They look and say lightweight, but compared to say Salomon, they are HEAVY. The foam is hot, and they do NIT support your ankle, instead the way it is constructed, it has on tight spot around the top of the ankle and nothing rigid underneath and that digs into you ankle like tying a stri g around your ankle. The tips peel off, causing a trip hazard and get filled with crap, and as those peel off you will get crack on the toe because the material is brittle and not at all flexible. These are by far the most expensive BAD “boots” I have ever purchased. We will see if I can get my money back. I have my doubts. Maybe I might get some “store credit” so I can enjoy another pair of god awful footwear only to have to buy another pair a couple weeks later. Customer service has been EXTREMELY unhelpful. I am simply out 100 bucks and a pair of shoes. If you’re going to wear maybe 2 hours a day to look outdoorsy, sure. If your trying to buy shoes to use as shoes… BUY SOMETHING ELSE!

Right foot not in good condition to be sell it. I am very disappointed.

Pese a q la pinta es muy muy buena, de cómodas, ligeras y de buen material, la horma de está bota es muy estrecha. Aprieta demasiado y no he conseguido encontrar talla q se adaptase a mi pie. Calzo un 42 normal. Ni la talla 42 ni la 42,5 me valían, apretaban demasiado, y ya la talla 43 me quedaba demasiado larga. Una pena.

Ich hatte mir eine 42 bestellt - diese Größe hab ich in all meinen Schuhen seit vielen Jahren. Leider war der Schuh viel zu eng geschnitten und auch zu klein. Ich habe schmale Füße. Habe die Schuhe zurückgeschickt.

Super light weight and comfy, climbed Yosemite and Zion Maps in these and they were flawless. Recommend going for a wide size as your feet get bigger after walking a lot

Nice boots, they look good and they were comfortable, but after 3 weeks of wearing them for one dog walk per day the stitching started to come apart. This is the second pair of Columbia boots I've had to return this year. The other pair, a different style, were sold as waterproof but were anything but. I've had some really good Columbia ski kit in the past but it seems that quality has gone off a cliff.
