Review: Fantastic work and hiking boots these, you won’t regret it. - I bought these boots because I wanted a relatively cheap pair of boots I could destroy without feeling the pain of the cost or care if they weren’t any good. Let me tell you, these boots are absolutely fantastic. I cannot stress enough how much these out preformed my expectations and made my job infinitely more survivable. These boots were used on a 20 day movie shoot in the Catskills. We were climbing steep mountain sides/cliff faces, trudging through ankle deep mud, wading through rivers and countless rock beds, absolutely torrential downpours (we got multiple inches of rain over 24 hours a couple times) temperatures that ranged from the low 50s to the mid 90s. These boots stood through it all. They don’t get too hot, they don’t get too cold. They have a decently wide footbed to give you solid contact with the boot. The traction is great, trust me! The waterproofing held up throughout everything. It is rare that I find myself buying something now a days that actually does what it says and then does it well. If you’re looking for a good set of non steel toe work or hiking boots these are the ones. You don’t need to drop crazy money when these guys will get you where you want to go and do so comfortably. They also used to look pretty nice too before all the mud, rain, and dust. Just buy them and thank yourself later. I will be buying these again when they need replacing. Review: good boots, pretty good price - Got these Columbia boots to replace my old Keens. The Keens are very comfortable but they're expensive and they were never quite as waterproof as I wanted. My size is 12, so I ordered 13 wide to keep my toes from getting squished together and allow for thicker socks in winter. What I like: * Right out of the box the shoes feel very comfortable. My toes are happy and don't get jammed when going down a steep trail. My initial impression after a few 5-mile hikes over fairly rocky terrain is quite good. * Although they look bulky, I'm impressed at how light they are. * Good ankle support * Lacing system is good. What I mean is that on some of my boots (e.g., my Keens) there's too much friction so it's hard to get them tight enough. I have other boots where there isn't enough friction so after pulling them tight the laces loosen up right away before I can tie a knot. Here, the friction seems to be about right. The top two set of eyelets are actually lace hooks, which makes it easier and faster to get laced up. What I don't like: Nothing yet Other comments: * They have less breathable fabric than my Keens so they are a bit hotter. This is bad in summer but good in winter * The insoles are just a thin pad of rubber-like stuff, about 3/16" thick, and they don't provide any support. However, it's easy to pull them out and put in your own insole if you need better heel padding or arch support. This is what I did and it works fine. * I haven't been anywhere that's wet so can't comment on how waterproof they are. * I'm really nervous about buying footwear online because I hate returning things. So it's a relief to get some boots that are going to work for me. ## Features - OMNI-TECH: For prolonged exposure to moderate rain and snow.

There is one thing a bit weird about them though. I have never worn wide shoes, yet the regular width for these was way too tight, even with the laces completely loosened. So I ordered wide and they fit great. Very comfortable. So, if you really do have narrow feet, get the regular width. But you might want to try wide even if all your other shoes are regular width. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/739794973-columbia-mens-transverse-hike-waterproof-fully-waterproof-high-traction-lightweight](https://www.desertcart.us/products/739794973-columbia-mens-transverse-hike-waterproof-fully-waterproof-high-traction-lightweight) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-09-05*
