I've been searching for a decent pair of walking shoes for what seems like an eternity! Having tried various brands to no avail and cheaper options that perished far too quickly, I decided that, "you get what you pay for" and purchased a more expensive option. As soon as I took them out of the box, I could see the build quality was very good. Trying them on for the first time, they fitted almost perfectly and felt incredibly comfortable, as if alread worn in! So far, so good. I have been walking to and from work (a mile each way) for just over a week now and they are very comfortable. I cannot speak for the waterproofing as yet, or their longevity (having had other brands that began to perish after only a few months,

9.5 UK Fits perfectly with my wide size 9 UK feet. I used to buy 10 UK and tie them tightly but as I've grown up, my ego has receded a little.They look a little plain and straight-laced, as it were, but they might get overlooked if you fancy wearing something comfortable to work and don't feel like trapping your feet between the gentle bondage of leather upper and rubber sole. Speaking of which, the soles on these are very comfortable and make walking a few miles or just standing on your feet all day a breeze.I wouldn't go so far as to say the soles are bouncy like some well known comfort trainers that inevitably wear out after six months. No,

I wouldn't normally buy shoes over the internet but as we all know today's circumstances dictate somewhat. I like to try shoes on before I buy as I have moderately wide feet. However I needed new walking shoes so I had to buy some from somewhere. As usual Amazon are the easiest to buy from, being very careful to make sure anything I buy of any value is "free returns" as I've been caught by that before with expensive postage.The shoes: I am so impressed, I was very worried they wouldn't be comfortable until they had been worn in for a bit. We walk around 5 miles everyday with our dog and it's important to have comfy shoes. I needn't have worried at all, as soon as I put them on it was clear the shoes would be fine.

This review is for the following item(s):Columbia Men's Woodburn II Waterproof Trail Running Shoe.The shoes in question were sold & delivered by Amazon.I am rating them as a 5 star product.These shoes fit perfectly, look great and have to be the comfiest hiking shoe I have ever owned.... I have had a few brands in my time such as adidas terrex, Reebok & Solomon gortex units as I live in Scotland, so a breathable waterproof shoe is a must for me.The break in time was zero & felt great from the minute I put them on.These units are the waterproof version of this model & boast the following two great technologies: omni-tech & techlite.The hiking trainers in question retail on the manufacturer UK

Very comfortable and pretty lightweight shoes and of course waterproof (i did not try it in heavy rain yet, still just light rain). For my feet it does not feel tight in any part of shoes at all, it is comfortable wide for me. Shoe sole it quite low that is what i really like, i feel more stable without high shoe sole. I had Merrell Moab FST and i did not like it as shoe sole was high and heavier ,these Columbia shoes are way better.The only con is it gets warm inside so i think for summer or hot weather it would not be so comfortable but in autumn, winter and spring it is fine (UK) but note that i am kind of person who can handle colder temperature better than others so other people would not probable feel warmer with these shoes like me,

I've been wearing a pair of Merrell MOAB 2's, which while comfortable aren't waterproof and not much use since December when the wet weather started.My criteria for 'winter' shoes were pretty simple, comfortable, well made and waterproof.I'm glad to say these hit the mark on all three points. I've worn them daily for the last 5 weeks or so, including through todays snow and have no complaints. They were comfortable straight out of the box, they've been completely waterproof and after 5+ weeks of about 5 miles a day they're still as good as new. There are no signs of wear or any manufacturing issues and every sign that they'll last for a long time.Design wise they're not that exciting,

Really comfy and good looking walking/trekking show which I wanted for mainly walk g the dog in the woods (and which I needed them to be waterproof - and the manufacturarer makes much if this being ‘guaranteed’ with this particular model/style: and so far they have been, but I’ve yet to really test this out). They are very comfortable and come in half sizes (which makes them a perfect fit for me as I fall between and 8 and 9 most of the time).One thing I will say (and which is my main recommendation) is that if you have decided to buy these shoes I strongly urge you to buy the brown/cinnamon version rather than the dark/black ones. I got the black ones initially and they are just so,

PROS: exceptionally comfortable and supportive from the first wear, no need to wear them in. I bought a UK size 11 and they fit like a glove despite having one foot that’s a UK 11 and the other which is a 10. Feet stay totally dry in long wet grass and in deep puddles, haven’t tried anything deeper. Excellent grip particularly on slippery mud but also over rocky ground. Bought principally for dog walking but they’ve replaced my expensive full boot walking shoes as they’re just as comfortable and supportive but much lighter. Laces don’t slip. Walked 6 miles per day over the last 6 weeks, often double that at weekends, on a mixture of bridle ways and footpaths and no discernible wear.CONS: none really,

26 November 2020 deliveredWill write a review and follow it up after a few monthsSo far so good. Out of the box look well made and sturdy even if a little dad like in appearance to some maybe. But they look smarter than the average affair of walking attire. Leather seems a little thin but appears to be ok quality. On first view it looks synthetic.I’m wearing them around the house to break them in without socks and more comfortable than you would think. Slight pinching on my little toe.Will be wearing them for walking most days and will follow up in a few months to see how they fair. I will be using wax to keep them waterproof and to care for the leather as you should.

I have wide feet coupled with arthritis in my toes, so finding a pair of waterproof lightweight comfortable winter walking shoes has been a nightmare!These were my FIFTH try but worth the wait, first time on comfortable and they fit without pushing my toes in or trapping the joints when I walk. I am normally a 11 and had tried several 12,s, all far too small and narrow these I went for a 13 thinking they maybe too big but no, without the gel insole a nice fit but with a new quality ortho gel inner sole, fantastic, snug excellent fit, warm and even more cushioned! The fact that these shoes are almost as light as a pair of trail running trainers I use in the summer,

Bought from other good reviews.Straight from the box, as soon as I put them on I knew they were comfy. Being a Postie, they were going to get well & truly tested from day 1. My round is 10 miles long, it was a cold, rainy & miserable day last week, so perfect to try them out.I walk on concrete, gravel, grass, on slippy concrete print drives, slippy sandstone slabs & thru puddles.I can honestly say, I would never of guessed these were brand spanking new, they were SO comfy, kept my feet warm & dry.I've been using these for a week now & i can honestly say, they are possibly the comfiest trainers I've ever owned, feet feel great after 60 miles in 6 days. I'm sure they'll last,

I don't normally write reviews just a few weeks after buying something, I usually prefer to let things settle in and see how they work long term, however I felt compelled to write something as these are such great shoes.I'd been a long-time fan of North Face hedgehog shoes, but as my last pair of hedgehogs were dying I spotted these on offer on Prime Day, so thought I'd take a chance on these. Fit and comfort are superior to the North Face shoes. They are also lightweight without feeling flimsy and so far offer surprisingly good grip. No issues with waterproofing either, but without the usual sweaty feet you can sometimes get with cheap waterproofing in shoes.Time will tell whether these last,

I have had these walking shoes before and was very pleased with them with one exception that the tread got worn down in about 18 months of regular use. I switched back to my old favourites of Berghaus and their shoes had the same problem. I therefore came back to Columbia as I found them a comfortable fit straight from the box. There seems little wear after 5 months of almost daily use.Sadly after 8 months of regular use and the first significant rain in lockdown I find that both shoes have started to leak. Walking through grass in the rain my socks got wet on the sole line on the outside of both shoes just behind the toe box. I have had this before in one shoe but put it down to a bad bit of quality control as it had not happened with previous purchases.

I bought these for a walking holiday and so far have been generally very impressed with them. They are very light on the feet, perhaps not offering quite as much ankle support as expected, but certainly very comfy to walk in.I'm usually a UK 9.5 so I ordered the size 10 as recommended. The fit is good on my left foot, but as my right foot is a little smaller it's less good on this one. Once laced up it's fine and doesn't slop around or anything, but there is a slightly annoying farting noise from the right shoe when I walk!But generally very pleased with their comfort, and would certainly buy again.**Update - Now 1 year on and these shoes are still going strong with no signs of deterioration other than the soles,
