Columbia 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 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.

Ok

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 DAYSWell 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!

Ordered these for a Philmont trek with boy scouts. Wore them a couple days ago prior to the trip and then hiked 59 miles in 6 days. I have feet issues and have suffered from plantar fasciitis and these boots were awesome. I had zero feet issues on the trek. That was July 2023. I’ve worn them pretty consistently since on the daily for work and they’re just now getting worn out. These boots can handle some mileage and the comfort level exceeds the several other brands I tried

To start I am not upset with Columbia. I am a diesel mechanic and I put shoes to the true test. I do not have to wear safety toes and I like a stylish shoe. I do a lot of welding and torch and plasma cutting. I knew these shoes weren’t made for that but none of that caused them to fail in the same place on both shoes. I think daily usage did. It’s possibly a design flaw. I love wearing them and they are true to size and true to comfort. I sure expected them to hold up longer than seven weeks.

El proveedor es excelente, todo llegó bien empacado y en perfectas condiciones, llegó según lo esperado y en tiempo record 3 días, muchas gracias, seguiré comprando, super recomendado.
