Columbia Peakfreak Ii mens Hiking Boots

Looks and feels great!

Je viens de les recevoir, elles me semblent géniales. En cuir garanti étanche, extra légères, confortables comme des pantoufles, et surtout vraiment anti-dérapantes ce qui était le problème principal de mes anciennes chaussures. Vivement la prochaine rando ! Je dois en profiter pour féliciter ici le service Amazon. Lors de ma commande la semaine dernière les chaussures dans le carton etaient d’un tout autre modèle. En quelques clics Amazon m’a renvoyé une autre paire le jour même (ok celle là) ainsi qu’un bon de retour pour la paire incorrecte. Tout cela gratuit et simplissime à faire. Ce commentaire est spontané évidemment…

Regalo di Natale molto apprezzato da mio padre.

I was planning hiking trips and bought this urgently with little research. Put simply: you won't be dissapointed. It has impeccable ruggedness, balance and grip. I had several ankle twists which corrected by itself. Great grip for steep rocky climbs as well. Design and color is appealing, you can wear it casually as well. Its the suv of footwear. Airport security checkin can be an issue as the lace holders are metal.

Credit where credit's due. Columbia are becoming my go to for quality and fit at a value for money price. I bought these boots as I had a pair of the low rise Peakfreaks which are over 2 years old and still going strong even after very regular wear and tear. The boots have the same larger toe box as the shoes which suits my feet (I have Moretons Neuroma in right foot) and are super comfortable from the outset. I buy a half size larger to allow for an additional charcoal footpad. They are well grippy on rocky, muddy terrain and fairly lightweight plus fully waterproof so far. Using mainly for general hiking and hillwalking but reckon they'll fare well on easier scrambles as well. Can't really fault Columbia on their all round high standard of build so would highly recommend. Beats some brands that are twice the price!
