Columbia Transverse™ Hike Waterproof

I'm 6'3" tall and 185 lbs. I also have size 15-Wide feet which has always made shopping for shoes really difficult. So you can imagine my delight in finding these Columbia boots in exactly my size! Columbia is a brand name I trust with a good track record over many years. The good news? They're comfortable, flexible, and fit me perfectly! The quality of these boots is also first rate - the stitching and assembly of the boot is excellent. The insole provided is comfortable, providing a nice cushion with each footfall. The quality of the soles and tread are tough and long-lasting! I do a lot of hiking and hill-climbing in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains in Northern California. I cover about 15 to 20 miles each time I go out and encounter a multitude of varied terrains ranging from volcanic basalt (smooth and often slippery), volcanic lahar (composite and aggregate mud flow which is very abrasive and rough), meadows, wetlands, gravely surfaces, and dry dusty trails. These are rough conditions with many changes in elevation, and these boots hold firmly on all of these surfaces. The ankle-high design with the scoop back gives your Achilles tendon room to move freely providing necessary support without constriction. I'm confident when hiking, especially on steep inclines with a rugged surfaces, that I can rely on them to keep me safe from slipping or falling. I'm keeping a log of how many miles I walk in these boots and will be interested to see what their longevity is. So far I've covered over 60 miles in these boots and the tread on the soles hardly show any wear at all. These boots are also stylish and look great when I wear them. I receive compliments on them quite frequently. A great consideration is also the value for the money. For a mid-priced boot, they outperform boots I've paid nearly twice as much for. I will definitely buy these boots again when the time comes.

Excellent boots for hiking. The first day I used them, it was raining, and my feet stayed dry. The grip also seemed to do pretty well with no slipping. Very comfortable, and seems to be of good quality, but time will tell on that one! I must add though, you MUST wear thicker socks with these boots! When I was first using the, I wore thin socks, and something on the tongue of the shoe was rubbing against the top of my foot and was NOT comfortable! I bought thicker socks and no issues at all! Specifically, I ordered Eddie Bauer Men's Dura Dri Moisture Control Quarter and No Show Socks, and they were perfect.

This is a great hiking/walking/anything shoe for Oregon. I have a wide foot with a tall arch and the wide option in my size fits perfectly. They are lightweight, waterproof, warm, no slip and very comfortable.

Sorry! I forgot to take the photos and videos before my husband wore them. According to him, these boots are very comfortable and feel well-made. They provide excellent support and grip, making them perfect for hiking and long walks. He really appreciates the waterproof feature. They fit true to size and didn’t require much breaking in. Great quality from Columbia, as expected.

I bought these for my husband for work. They are true to size and lightweight. The quality is good. He does landscaping AKA hard-scraping work. When they got wet they dried fairly quickly. He said they’re comfy and were good for work, BUT after only 4 months they started to smell really bad. Like a dead animal died inside. OBVIOUSLY I know if you sweat while working, your shoes will eventually probably smell. BUT his other work boots he’s had for a year don’t smell. So that’s why I’m giving this a 4 star rating.

I chose this fine 10.5W boots, but it is not wide enough for me. The material, color, finish, and appearance are very good.

Purchased these and got it a few days before a trip to yosemite. Hiked over 60 miles in these last week and had no issues at all. Comfortable and very waterproof. Hiked in snow and mud with no issues. The fit is great. 10/10

They match the description. Lightweight, comfortable, and waterproof.
