ColumbiaMen's Redmond V2 Mid Waterproof Hiking Shoe

Bought these for work. Im a delivery driver. About a month later they are falling apart and have holes in them. I thought Columbia was a good brand. Guess not.

My original Redmonds lasted a full year and cost $30 less. This pair started to disintegrate at the 7 week mark. A small 1" tear of the outer leather at the sole appeared on Monday and by Friday it was the horror show pictured. I'm not hiking through the razor sharp rocks of Emyn Muil on my way to Mordor. No, I'm walking a scant 3 miles a day on the admittedly questionable but often harmless sidewalks of Baltimore. These were my commuting shoes, (at work I wear my heavy reliable Doc Marten steel toe boots) but now they are hardly worth being called bath slippers. My initial joy at the predominantly black color scheme has been well and thoroughly crushed by the bargain basement rat hides they clearly used to construct this shoe. The tear has gone so far towards the toe cap that my foot now runs the risk of slipping out the side, being exposed to the nefarious teeth of the Baltimore City Rats as they come to reclaim the skins of their kin.

I got these for a trip to Hawaii to be hiking through the wet and muddy forest after my second hike on the way down I noticed a rip PICTURED ABOVE, like really it’s my second day using these shoes and they rip like that, maybe if they wouldn’t outsource to China these would actually be better quailty, I LOVED THE SHOE was super excited even told my girl I was going to leave a 5 star until I looked down, I payed 53$ on Black Friday and now they are 100$ WOW Columbia what a rip off I DONT RECOMMEND THESE TO ANYONE unless you are just using them as like vans 😂 horrible shoe will be returning them all muddy to them also this is uncalled for I feel bad whoever payed 100$

This shoe was advertised as "wide", it's not!

Put them on as soon as they arrived, hooked up the dog and went slogging through the snow.Great fit, very comfortable right out of the box. Feet are dry. Snug enough that no snow got in over the top. No moisture got in anywhere. I tried.I have neuropathy in my extremities, (a little present left from chemotherapy) and my feet feel like they're asleep all the time. If I don't keep something on them, they'll feel like they spread to take up the whole room, with round bottoms. Walking makes it worse, and after a while, they feel like they'll bust out of my shoes. I usually wear some good slippers, and just use shoes when I'm out and about. I've had these on all day, and they're as comfortable still as the slippers. I've made a point about being on my feet more than usual today.Great traction on the ice, too.Highly recommend them!They're more comfortable than the Columbia's I've been wearing for 3- 4 years.I've been buying Columbias for maybe 10 years. Their sizing is pretty accurate. (In a time when it seems every shoe maker has their own ideas about what constitutes a size 11, or 10 or 12 or whatever. No standardization any more.)

I had three different shoes sent to me through Amazon’s try before you buy offer (which I liked very well). Other shoes were Keen and Skechers. These shoes were much more comfortable out of the box. I really like the light weight construction and would add that the construction is quality. I have had them for 3 months now and still like them very much. Great shoe for the price.

I am still in awe at how perfectly these fit my fit right out of the box and how incredibly comfortable these are!! They feel like they were custom molded to my feet. I thought being brand new there would be some break-in period - nope! They fit like a glove and are like walking on clouds. Seriously - they are so soft and so light yet sturdy and supportive I really lucked out getting these. And best part, I love the way they look.

I just got these and wore around the house a couple days before going outside to make sure they fit well.Today I went for a short hike (about 30 mins) on the pavement only and 55F degrees. These are very light and comfortable and I will keep them. Note, my feet were a bit hot when I returned from walking so these should be great in winter.

Wore these boots around the house for a few days, then took them out on a two hour walk. After walking across some damp grass, the shoes became wet inside. There was no waterproofing at all. At the end of two hours, water was being squeezed out of the seam between the upper and the toe rand, causing bubbles and a squelching noise. Worse, after five days close by a radiator, they were still damp inside. At no time did any water come above the level of the toe rand, so this all came in through the uppers. These are nice enough boots - but don't buy them expecting them to keep your feet dry. I returned them as they were sold on the basis of being waterproof (and the boots themselves are marked 'waterproof' on the uppers!) so clearly not fit for intended purpose.

Bought for general hiking use. First impressions were good.. comfortable, secure, good grip.. however downhill from here.. they turned out to be anything but waterproof. Not even damp proof. Wet grass kills them.. I'm talking soaking inside and days to dry out.. so disappointing how can Columbia state this boot is waterproof... Next sole wears down quickly. After 3 months of limited use on average terrain the soles had lost most of their grippy lugs and were smooth..All things considered they are not fit for purpose as advertised.. never again for me..

I had these shoes for a little more than 6 months, and being honest, I avoided dipping them in water unless unavoidable. Well, winter passed and come walks on the beach with the kids, I got them waterproof shoes, and I thought mine were too. Guess what? I was the one with the wet feet at the crash of the first wave that reached the mesh. I am not talking immersed them, just the splash on top of the mesh was enough to get my feet complete wet. What a dissapointment. Other than that, the shoes were great with fit and all around comfort. If waterproof is the reason you bought these, completely AVOID THEM. Otherwise, consider them not waterproof.

very disappointed, holes in the fabric across the toe area and the sides split within 3 weeks of light walking, these are not waterproof either, only walking through damp grass and you get wet feet. Usually buy berghaus but fancied a change, big mistake, will not buy columbia again, the only positive i can give is that they fitted well, very comfortable but they fell apart too quickly.

Pretty good boots! I needed some new ones for walking and holidays with the dog. Something light, comfortable and water proof.I can’t fault these at all. I’ve had them a week and the weather has been pretty wet so I’ve been able to test them out and they’ve held up well. They’re comfortable, have plenty of padding, my feet are dry, and they were available for much less than the official website.
