Columbia mens Redmond Mid Waterproof

Excellent light weight hikers. I have a very wide foot, between 2-3E, and these boots fit perfectly. Ordered a half size up on length based on reviews, I have a 10.5 but went to 11 with this boot. Other then wearing them around my yard for a few hours the first time I put them to use was on a 8.6mi round trip hike in the pacific northwest in the Snoqualmie Region -- Snoqualmie Pass outside of Seattle. I intended to stay at the top at Lake Melawka and make it a two day trip but it was raining the entire day so I decided to head back down once at the top due to weather, vs being trapped inside my small 1 man tent all night. The hike is 2500' of elevation gain over the 8.6mi of steep terrain covered in large rock, scree and loose talus for most of the hike. It's a steep grade all the way up. The Columbia Redmond mid performed great. Despite the constant and steady rain my foot stayed 100% dry, the mid-ankle support was enough to keep me stabilized on the loose rock and steep grade even with the 30 lb pack on. The shoe, virtually right out of the box, caused no discomfort in the over 7+ hours of hiking I did that day. These are great for traveling due to the light weight as well, I brought them with me from Boston to Seattle. Overall this boot is an outstanding value, excellent for someone with a wide foot and the waterproofing is outstanding. Would strongly recommend

Great shoes. Fit as expected.

I have less than 20 miles on these but thought I could review them none the less. I normally wear size 12m (US). These boots feel a half size small. I need to wear lightweight socks with them because medium weight socks make the boot fit too tight. I can't even get the boots on with my winter socks. When I wear the appropriate socks, the boots are comfortable and offer very good support. The arch is fine for me and the heel doesn't wander. The toe box is tight and this is where it would be nice to have the extra half size. They are warm even with the lightweight socks but this is fine as I will use them in the colder weather anyway. No doubt they are warm because of the waterproofing, this attribute I haven't been able to check because the weather so far has been rather dry. Most of my "hiking" is the urban variety so I will probably never test the limits of the boots ruggedness. I usually just wear out my boots as opposed to having them fail through use. Hopefully I'll get a few years worth of walking before the soles wear through. Update April 2020; 4 star is right for these boots. I've put a few hundred miles on these in all types of weather. They are wearing well. They still run warm so I don't wear them when the temp exceeds 75. They are not water "proof" but are very resistant. Heavy rains do not penetrate but water will get in if you walk through multiple puddles.

Most comfortable shoe I've ever owned. Light weight and durable. Note: They do run small, so order 1 full size larger than you normally would to insure proper fit. Zero break in required. To my surprise, they were waterproof as advertised. In addition to being my "go to shoe" for daily wear, I also walk 3-6 miles per day, on mostly asphalt. The bottoms are made of somewhat softer material than most hikers, which is great for cushion and support, very easy on your feet but the asphalt wore them faster than I had anticipated. In spite of that, I still give these shoes 5 stars and I like them so much, I always keep a backup pair.

These shoes are well made and comfortable. I enjoy wearing them. I only take issue at the claim that they are waterproof. One short walk through wet grass which was only about 3-4 inches tall, and my socks were soaked. I'm a bit disappointed because I was actually looking for waterproof (or at least water resistant) boots and these were marketed as such. Otherwise, if you don't anticipate any damp hikes, they would be fine. I am amending this review. I purchased these shoes in late January and have worn them only infrequently and not in any extreme hiking scenarios. The right shoe now has a hole in the fabric where my little toe is located and the left one is starting to get a hole to match. Poor materials used in construction. Unfortunately, my return window closed in February.

First pair i bought ive had for about 10 years they still are holding togther perfectly, thebtred has worn down over time but the shoe still looks great, i have 2 other pairs that are 5 years old still wearing them today. These shoes are the BEST and i really mean that. They just last no matter what your doing in them. Best money you will ever spend on shoes i promise. They are comfortable. If you have a wider foot get the wide option as the standard has a narrow toe box.

Excelente producto

I'm loving these shoes. They've been great in the snow and winter weather, very warm. I highly recommend getting these only for those temperatures though, they do not breath and your feet will sweat and they will need aired out/odor control eventually, especially after long hikes. I've used these on a lot of terrain but they are comfortable for all of it. Very cushioned on the feet and the padding on the sides from the weatherproofing keeps things from hitting your ankles on hikes. I've tried on a lot of different hiking mids and these were the best all around cushion/arch support I could find. It feels like how those gimmicky shoes that say they have "air cushions" that wear out in a few weeks are supposed to feel, but these shoes hold up to the test. I just bought the Redmond low non waterproof version for summer and they are also great, that's how much I loved the waterproof mids. I can't recommend these enough.

Es complicado dar consejos sobre las tallas. Yo pedí una talla más de la que uso habitualmente como aconsejaban otros compradores y realmente no creo que hiciera falta. De cualquier modo no las cambiaré porque son para usarlas en invierno y serán más cómodas con calcetines gruesos. Las botas son muy chulas y dan aspecto de calidad. Cuando les de uso actualizaré el comentario.

So comfy, supportive and fits true to size. Just did a 3 day back packing trip in them and no blisters. Felt like i was walking on clouds.

Finally i got good product from Amazon, best in quality and best price

Se ajustan perfecto. La talla que solicite fue 9.5 US y me quedo muy bien, súper cómodos.

Ottime sono molto comode e leggere, io le ho usate per la prima volta domenica per andare a pesca sú e giú per il torrente indossandole x 5 ore e loro hanno risposto alla grande dandomi un comfort incredibile. Le consiglio a tutti coloro che amano camminare su sterrato ma anche su asfalto. Secondo me non sono adatte per l'estate perché tengono il piede al caldo.
