Lightweight water shoes can make great casual summer shoes, because all the drainage holes provide excellent ventilation, and these Columbia are no exception – in fact, I think they breathe much better than Geox, which has a patented perforated sole.The main difference vs previous water shoes by Columbia is that these provide more support: the back of the heel is more rigid, and the back and the sides of the heel are more padded (you can see it in the pictures). Whether that’s good or bad depends on what you want to use these for: for long walks, light hikes etc, this makes them a perfect balance between support and ventilation, while for occasional short walks in the heat the extra support is probably not needed,

The shows are great. The look sturdy and it drains water very quickly which gives a great feeling when I run on the beach. Sometime I touch the water just to cool down and because it drains water, it doesn't bother at all. It also has a great friction on the slippery rocks and very easy to walk on the wet and slippery rocks. The only downside of it is the narrow width which made my feet hurt the first few times I wore them. I tried to remove the tightness by adjusting the laces but was not really helpful. It could be easily a 5 star if it didn't have this issue.

If you like the out doors and play in the water. These are for you! I want another pair! They feel great and you can run in them also. Great for fishing, hiking, swimmingUpdate 7-1-2020Still kicking, hiking, running, swimming. I wash them out after the river or beach. Small Rocks will get stuck inside sometimes. I'm still very happy and will get another pair when these are no longer any good. Very comfortable and very light weight, we fish walking in the river beds and these are tough enough for it. I can run through the water with these.

These are very good water shoes. I like the normal shoe laces vs. the elastic ones used for other water shoes. These shoes drain well out the bottom then out the sides. A good secret for wearing water shoes is to wear a high quality wool sock as well. The sock keeps debris out of the top and the wool will keep your foot a little warmer when out of the water. I wear these shoes for canoe trips where we get in and out of the boat often and portage from place to place. The shoes are good for this type of mild hiking.

The initial break-in walk felt like the shoe was a little snug at the ball of my foot, but I didn't notice it beyond that. The shoe (in terms of comfort) is definitely better with socks, and it's pretty good at draining, but the soles will still make the classic "wet shoe squish" when you walk in them. They don't hold an excessive amount of water, but I did feel -some-. To be fair, I bought these shoes because I felt safer on uneven terrain after kayaking with a more traditional tennis-shoe style.

Fit as expected, not more not les, just right. Quality, as always with this brand, really amazing, i owned other columbia shoes for years, and nothing has changed, just for good, as this shoes are a bit lighter than my previous ones, the soleis really confortable, and breaths. Good for everyday walking.----After almost a year of DAILY use... Yes every day... Use them to go to the gym, stay at home, walk my dogs, they are great, confortable, fresh, great value great product.

I was pleasantly surprised by this shoe. I took it too Jamaica to walk in the falls and it worked GREAT! It allowed the water to pass threw easily so that it didn't feel like I was walking with ankle weights. The sole was rugged enough to walk on the small rapids rocks in waist deeper water no problem. Built for short hiking that most likely will be wet. Top of the shoe NOT meant to protect from anything falling on your toes. Really designed for beach/waterfall/ jungle hiking.

These shoes are great for a river walk. We used them in the river a few times, and they were simply awesome. Grippy, easily draining, and accurate fit. Only issue is that they will almost surely stink if you dont dry them out properly. Even if you do, as I did, they will still stink. I think thats really a factor of the type of shoe this is anyway, and the other branded similar shoes my family wore also stank after the river walks.

I picked these up to try them for saltwater sand flats fishing, and they really did the trick for me. As expected, I did get some sand in them, but they are low rise and I didn't wear gravel guards of any kind. So sand above the ankles let some in, but the good fit prevented a lot of sand from getting in. Previously, I was using some flats boots, and I'll never wear those again, these were far superior for my needs.

Bought these shoes to go whitewater rafting for week this year. Just got back and wore these for a week. Shoes held up great and still look new, wore them around 12 hours a day and feet felt good. The holes on side, drain the water from the insole, so they don't hold a bunch of water. Grip on very slippery rocks was so so, but I haven't found any shoe that can get a good grip on those rocks. Would buy again.

My old pair finally wore out during a recent camping holiday after years of service. Being able to get a very close replacement within a couple of days was wonderful. I use the shoes for indoor gym work and for hiking in good weather in the summer. I like men's running shoes because they give me just the extra bit of width I need to be comfortable in my correct size.

This is my fourth pair of Drainmakers, and I’m still using them all. They are well made, and reasonably comfortable. I use them for urban walking, and on a treadmill. But their biggest selling point for me is that their grip on wet floors is better than any other shoe I know. I even tested them on a wet tiled bathroom floor, and was unable to induce any skidding.

Love the Drainmaker series, this is my second set. Very durable and drain quick/dry quick. I use them for kayaking. I'm always stepping in the water, so the ability to drain and dry quickly as I mentioned, is important at different times. They stick pretty good and don't slip much if any on most surfaces, including rocky bottoms and slick boat surfaces.

Works well as a "real" shoe to wear in the water. Drains quickly to help dry quickly. Wore when hiking up the Narrows at Zion National Park. If they get sandy and you want to wash them out, remove the insole first, then all the sand will wash out. Will also wear as shoes when launching the boat, etc. Good quality. Could use a little more arch support.
