Columbia Womens Mountain Masochist IV Outdry

I’ve been running 2-6 miles in the slushy, icy, snowy packed roads with these shoes. I wear thick smart wool socks, and have taken them out about 7 times since receiving them. I’ve been testing them on steep hills and they are very comfortable wearing and my feet are never cold. They are heavier than my normal running shoes, however I expected that. They have great impact cushioning that I thought would hurt my foot, but in fact it really has helped. I wish they had spikes to help more with the ice, but over all they are a great option for trails!

As soon as I received these shoes I tried them on and they felt so comfortable I had to take a quick 3 mile hike. As it had rained the ground was wet and I can say my feet were totally dry and grip was solid. I have had Keens and Salomons and these Columbia Montrail IVs are by far the most comfortable and I have wide feet!I would definitely recommend these shoes!

I hike a lot and really go through the shoes. These have a descent tread for So Cal rock trails. Hiking in our mountains requires shoes that take a beating and still grip. They are fairly molded to my foot, especially the heel. I find them easy to put on and because of the sliding lace, easy to take off. The lace gizmo holds up well and doesn't move or open when hiking. Overall, I love them. I've worn them about 20 times not over the last 2 months.

I was hesitant to purchase these shoes without being able to try them on first but they fit great! I wear a size 10 and if they run small I’m out of luck because 11s are just too big. These fit perfect. They were comfortable right out of the box. I wore them several days in a row walking and hiking through the Rocky Mountains. This is my second pair of Columbia‘s. My previous pair lasted several years.

I have accepted that really great Montrail shoes no longer exist. I purchased these with Hope. They offer good support and traction. The lacing system was so annoying I had to tear it out and start over. The laces are narrow like dental floss and dug into my arches, ouch! I tried to remove them but they are on a continuous loop, supported by a plastic gizmo for tightening. Finally I bought some regular sport laces at the dollar store. I cut off the originals and found that there is this insanely narrow plastic tube under the lacing loop. All I could think of was here we have some design technicians creating a problem from something that was NOT BROKEN: the basic shoelace. With great perseverance and the miracle of not cutting myself with a sharp object by pushing my dollar store laces through the "tube" I changed the laces and they do not dig into my arches and leave indentations under my skin. I would not buy these again due to the laces...it's too bad.

After owning and loving 4 Masochist mountain hiking shoes, and after wearing them out... I ordered this pair. They only come in outdry - which is ridic for the South. Such a letdown. The top is rigid and stiff and I could hardly walk in these shoes. My feet hurt. The shoe bed is hard, not firm -hard. The closure is no longer regular "laces" and I definitely prefer laces! No tab in back of heel to pull shoe on either. The quality which made these shoes outstanding is gone. I'm so sad that my go-to hiker and a fine shoe has been redesigned into junk. I will not be buying Columbia hiking shoes again.

I was slightly worried about using this type of lacing system since I've never tried it before. It works really well, and I don't have any slipping on my heel. Even though I wear an eight and a half in shoes, I have been told to wear a nine in running shoes to have plenty of room and not get toenail bruises. That size worked for me with these.

Love it. The size run a little large so I wear thick socks, no problem.

Un poco pesado para ser Columbia, un poco duros, espero que con el uso mejoren, para el precio, muy bien

Para escalar o para caminatas largas, son para correr pero yo no corro. los compre por su diseño y comodidad y recibi justo lo que esperaba

Me fui por la fácil mi pie mide 27cm marca en las tallas 10 US sorpresa es un número más grande como para que lo ponen no puede ser

Nice shoe

I can't really add much - it wasn't cheap but is a good waterproof (as far as I know) sports shoe that I use for travel as it looks ok with casual wear but is for seroius walking
