"I work at a nursery. Even in the colder months I am working outside in mud, rain, light snow. Still watering plants here and there, and on my feet all day.These are so comfortable! I had about 5 pairs I tried on and needed to choose from- ultimately it was the way these fit that helped me choose. I typically wear a size 8W, so that's what I chose here. Ive got the wide feets, so if you got them too then you know- finding a comfortable pair of shoes or boots can be a challenge that often leads one to just give up. Not in this case.These are very lightweight- I don't feel like I'm lugging around boots. I feel light on my feet but sturdy and warm. And most important, my feet don't hurt at the end of the day. So far, these have remained waterproof and that has impressed me. I've been in light rain, drenching rain, light snow , mud and wore these while watering plants in the greenhouse. They function just as they say they do.I did not have to break these in. Good to go out of the box! Color is great, looks just as advertised.Happy with the purchase and hope they last me a while. Ive only been wearing them for one month, and they still fit like the day I tried them on. I'm hoping these will continue to perform and hold up during peak season, Spring-Summer, where I'll be putting them to the real test."

Purchased for my sister. They are the only pair of shoes that last and are made of great quality. She is a window washer and is on her feet all day and is always climbing ladders and walking on roofs. They are an amazing price and hold up to all weather conditions. Even in the rain her feet stay dry. They are comfortable have great support and fit perfectly.jess

At first I thought these would not be wide enough in the toe box but after wearing them at home to break them in they fit perfectly. I wore these on my trip to Tahoe and it was great in the snow. With thick socks my feet stayed warm, and not a lot of slipping either. I still slid when the ice was very sleek but never fell so these were a great fit. They were also not too heavy and I’ve been wearing them all day and felt no pain on my feet which is something I struggle with because I’m prone to get callouses. I’m usually a 9-10 and got these in 9.5 wide.spirithorse11

These are lightweight and very comfortable. I have tried several brands of hiking boots. Merrell, Soloman, Vasque, etc and these by far are the most comfortable. They do tend to run a size small. I normally wear a size 9 in shoes and had to size up to a 10 in these. They are very warm even in cold 20 degree temps.jesnir saavedra

I give these 3 stars because of the false advertising: they are not waterproof. They will resist light rain for a while, but not more than that.I read the reviews that said they run small, so I sized up. I'm a 37–37.5, so I ordered an 8 wide. Ordering them wide was the best choice—so much more comfortable! They are very comfy. I went to Patagonia and walked my ass off, and at the end of the day my feet were okay.allie

Size up. I don't care what any other comment says, size up at least whole size. Columbia's run very small. I was given these as a gift but they were too small and it was outside of amazons new return window so I had to buy a whole new pair and just give the other ones away. I wear an 11 in literally every other shoe, I had to size to a 12 wide for them to fit. Invest in good insoles as well, these are a bit brutal till broken in and there is 0 arch support.tc
