Columbia has been doing a good job on their shoes. These look good and feel great for walking the dog around trails or wherever really. I wouldn’t run and pick these up for a serious hike but I paid $42 from my seller so these are plenty worth it.I love the design, I thought they would be a bit more comfortable to be honest, but they're not bad. I have a pair of Columbia hiking boots and they're THE BEST. The most comfortable hiking shoes I've ever had, no slip, just perfect, so I thought the tennis would be super comfortable and they're just regular shoes.I'm giving them 3 stars tough because as they're supposed to be waterproof, they have some plastic? I guess, and they make a sound every time you walk, so if you're in a quiet place and you get easily embarrassed don't purchase this shoes because they make you seem like you're wearing a diaper. I don't particularly care and I feel like the sound is gonna fade away as I use them more and more but they do make a pretty loud sound. At least mine do.el producto es fiel a la imagen publicada, el servicio al cliente es muy satisfactorio y la gestión de devoluciones por la operadora de trasporte es eficiente, mil graciasGreat shoe, not too warm(ideal for chill days).Edit: the shoes are a bit warm. Great for cold weather. The sides are a bit high which hurt a bit (i asume untill they are used for a while and break down)Muy buen productocolumbia waterproof products are not useful. They pass water in front of the shoes. took a lot of water even in light rain. and, feet sweat a lot in normal air. Also, with every step, sounds like nylon bags come from the front. outdry ones might be better.I found these shoes for my dad, shoes a hiker and runner. He loves them because they are not only comfortable, but very sturdy and durable for any climate. I personally think they don’t look very stylish (gives me the grandpa vibe), but they in fact look pretty good when wore on the feet. My dad pointed out that these shoes are not very waterproof. It not good for raining days but the are ok for muddy soil, so they are more water restraint than water proof. He often steps on muddy soil and they hold strong after cleaning them every time he dirties it (very often). The traction of these shoes are also really nice, well patterned and prevents slipping. Overall, they are a comfortable and well made hiking shoeIntro: I have worn these shoes a few times over the last few months, mainly when the weather is crappy outside.Pro’s:• Nice stylish design• Nice solid build, sturdy feel when wearing• Decently heavy for hiking shoes which is common• Decent sole traction pattern• I had no issues with water penetration although I wasn’t fording any streams. My issue is usually that my feet naturally sweat but having them be externally water-proof is a plusCon’s:• None at this timeFinal thoughts: I found my pair to be stiff at first but after a few walks in them they started to break in and were comfortable, fit well and are well built. I like the style and color of these and have had Columbia footwear in the past so I knew what to expect. These are decent water-resistant shoes for the price. I received these shoes for free as part of the Vine program but feel I’ve given a fair unbiased review. I’ll come back to update my review if anything changes my opinion on these but I like them so far.Fits well but has a little bit of a bite at the back of your foot, not bad though.
