ColumbiaTrailstorm Waterproof Men's Hiking Shoe

Bought these for walking and just chucking on when you might get a bit mucky etc. they are very comfy however, should it rain and you happen to be on grass be prepared for very wet feet.If they were actually “waterproof” like it even says in the heel they’d have probably got a solid four stars, maybe even a five. But just simply doesn’t do what it says on the tin.Unless you know you won’t wear them when it rains I’d avoid. So basically anyone in the UK.Shame really but in a nutshell a pair of comfy teabags

These shoes are supremely comfortable & seemed to be waterproof as advertised. I loved walking in them while they were good. They were delivered on August 27th and by the 1st October they had developed a hole where the toe bend is. These have only been used lightly on a daily dog walk on flat footpaths.Manufacturer says return to vendor (correctly) but I was just out of the 30 day return window. As these are faulty though Amazon have agreed to a return and a full refund.Columbia...if you read this please please sort this weak point out and I would be happy to buy another pair. For now though 1 star only as I'm sure anyone would agree, 5 week lifespan is unacceptable

Thought would leave a review as not many on here.Out of the box these look quite a smart shoe. I wanted something that was more of a trainer with the waterproofing, these seemed to fit the bill.I’ve been wearing about a week and have found to be a sturdy and lightweight feel.They are not exactly trainer fit comfy, but I do have a slight under pronation so I expect they will eventually wear into my fit. That said, they are not uncomfortable and I expect they will be fine over long distances.Not really tested the waterproofing, I’ve been over wet grass etc but not a full downpour, so far have kept my feet dry.The toe box is a relatively wide fit compared to a normal trainer. I ordered a size up and there is plenty of room for big socks. Plus since my intention is doing some distance I wanted the room in the shoe for feet to expand. Therefore I would conclude fit as expected.

I will admit i walked quite a lot with this shoes, but never on crazy terrains, really disappointed.Started falling apart and holes appeared on each sides. On Columbia website says that under 1 year Amazon should refund or replace and just give you the option to go the Columbia website pingponging the blame

I've been buying Columbia shoes for years, but after this purchase, never again.Tight spot on the big toe of both shoes, which I could live with.The huge failing is after wearing them for two weeks they have totally lost their waterproofing.Feet soaking after a light dog walk on non technical ground.Severely disappointed
