The shoes are not cheap, and even with the price reduction as part of the promotion, it's worth thinking carefully before buying them. The starting point should be the question: Does my activity require this type of footwear? I decided that it does. Since September 2024, I started choosing Columbia, resulting in the purchase of my fourth pair. Why? Quality of workmanship, actual waterproofness and ventilation of the feet, and good sole grip to the ground. Besides, the company has very good sizing: 45 really means 45, with no fractions. About the presented model, I can also say that the upper part nicely supports the ankle, they are aesthetically made, and they are warm, so it's better to wear them only when it's around 6°C. Tested on wet and muddy surfaces, they performed well—I'm curious how they'll handle snow. The shoes are very light and cushion the foot nicely during walking, and their design matches both urban and military clothing. I hope they will be as durable as other models I own.
