These shoes were very comfortable. It had a nice, thick sole that kept me from feeling any of the rocks under my feet. I did a day hike in these on a trail that had an inch or two of packed snow and these shoes kept my feet dry.

Amazon charged me for the shoe exchange. I don't believe it's right. Columbia has a slightly bigger size than my usual shoes, I ordered size 8 and then had to exchange it to 7.5. Paying for the return seems to be a bad consumer practice. Being upset I don't want to buy another pair and keep regretting I bought this one, which is unfair with respect to Columbia, since the shoe perfectly fits my needs -- low price and comfortable design. Still, I have to try it on the trail.

These shoes are comfortable and terrific for working out. I wear them for cross-training as well as walking and playing with the kids at the playground. Nice looking too, better than I thought from the pictures on-line.

These shoes are wonderful. I was looking for a good walking shoe and this is a very comfortable shoe that looks great with a pair of jeans! I would absolutely recommend this shoe.

I initially bought this shoe because it was cheap and looked cute. However, when they arrived and I put them on I immediately noticed that they hurt my arch. Well, I have been wearing them off and on for about three weeks and they still hurt. Can't return them because I think that wouldn't benefit me. Will probably try to change insoles.
