ColumbiaPeakfreak Venture Light Low Rise Hiking Shoes for Men

I ordered these online frrom Amazon and it is now four months that I am wearing them. They are extremely comfortable and are now quite worn but not yet excessively. To quantify this, I should describe the conditions that they undergo every day. I walk very fast for just over 1.5 hours every day with these shoes. They are therefore subjected to quite tough usage, particularly given that I walk in all weathersand all kinds of terrains (fields / road / gravel / etc.) as well. By way of comparison, the last pair of shoes I had before these, lasted for just over two weeks, under the same conditions. The pair before that was even worse in that it lasted just over one week before falling apart entirely.If you walk quite intensely and fast, I believe these are some of the best shoes you can get and they are very reasonably priced as well. I found the shape of the sole to be ideal for the walking I do and I also found the material extremely durable.As a testament to just how highly I think of these shoes. I was going to order another pair. Unfortunately, they have been discontinued. I still stuck with the same brand, which appears to be fantastic and suits every single one of my needs. I shall review those as well in the not too distant future.Edit: Well the shoes have now been worn completely. They lasted over five months which, by my calculations, means over 1000 miles of intense walking. I believe this is pretty good going for a pair of shoes!

Update Jan 2018: Regrettably I had to return my shoes. The upper tongue brushing on that skin area was now a problem. I really couldn't figure out why one shoe felt a lot better than the the other shoe. Checked the tongue was sitting properly. Tried wearing thicker socks to see if that fixed the problem, yet the problem persisted. A bit sad to return this item as it had a premium quality look to it. Could be a one off faulty item, hope it is. Seller was brilliant. Refunded quickly. I'm still a fan of certain Columbia shoes, and will no doubt see what else is on offer.Very impressed when i received the Peakframe Venture (grey/black). A bit getting used to if you're used to buying black or white trainers/shoes most of the time, but I find it looks amazing.Now for the fit. The first day or two, the right foot was uncomfortable as the upper tongue was brushing a bit hard near the beginning of my second and third index toes. Don't panic! Sometimes shoes need a while to break in. My tip would be to just try it around the house, that way if the seller provides a refund on the product, then this can be done, otherwise if you wear it outside and return it, then its up to the discretion of the seller. Moving on to the good stuff. Pleasantly surprised after a few tries that the shoes felt much better. I was going to return the pair if the problem persisted. There's a very minimal unease on the right foot, and really this would go away when having a proper walk outside. When moving your heel up to test how the shoe shapes, you'll find the sides extend a little. I'd prefer that, rather than having a tighter fit around the sides of your foot, which may feel constricted.Design/build/looks - My older boots were Columbia, and stood the test of time, so for build quality that will take everything that you throw at it, Columbia is the brand to look for. My pair looks rugged, yet has a trainer/sneakers look to it. It's a joy to wear as it's comfy, and looks good to the eye. The rubber is solid and protects areas like toes, and heel. This brand name is definitely up there with the best. I think it's a no.1 brand, but i'm partial :)

I usually get Merelles but was disappointed with my last pair only lasting 6 months. Tried a few cheaper brands and they all let water in. Tried this and they seem to be waterproof so far. I'm a dog walker and although I wear wellies in the worst weather, they are not supportive for hours and hours on my feet so like to wear shoes / boots. The rubber like material these are made from feel like they will last and it's obviously what stops the water getting in. They are on the slim side for me (I have wide feet plus foot swelling after 6 hours on them). I used my shoe stretcher on these to give a little extra room and it's helped loads. I went up a full size too, so usually a 6 but got a 7 in these. They are slightly too big but the 6.5 was way too small so beware sizing is a little strange. I've got a heel pad in them now so that's helped too. Lots of faffing to get them right but in terms of their comfort, support and waterproof-ness, they are good. Time will tell.

Great fit and comfortable

This is my second pair of Columbia walking shoes and both pairs have been extremely comfortable. There is a generous width to the shoe and well rounded front to allow spread for the toes. The height clearance for the toes is also good so there are no pressure points. With the first pair the quality was perfectly acceptable, but the finish of these new shoes is noticeably better, in fact at this price, I can't fault them. They look like they should be in a higher price bracket, as a result they should be durable, time will tell.They have good shock absorbing soles and insoles and the shoes are flexible from new, much better than you would normally expect for a walking shoe. I walk up to five miles a day on country lanes in all weather (no cross country hiking) and these have been totally waterproof, even in the recent heavy snow.I've noted that with walking shoes I've bought in the past couple of years that I've had to order the next size up from my usual size. This also applies to this shoe. I'm only guessing, but I think this may be caused by shoe companies going for global sizing (US/EU/UK etc) and you can't perfectly match each sizing system, so there has to be a little compromise.

Très bonne qualité et légères

Belle paire de chaussures dont le renom de la marque n'est plus à justifier.Solidité et légèreté.Me concernant, taille légèrement plus grande par rapport à d'autres marques.Sinon, modèle parfait pour les activités outdoor.

Looks decent. Very light and comfortable. Will have to use them for some time to see if they are durable.

Me compré unas hace años, aún las utilizo, casi a diario. Para ir a trabajar, para caminar y para tomar cañas... la suela se va desgastando pero, tras varios años de uso continuado, aún le queda tiempo. Ni un descosido. Siguen siendo muy cómodas. Por eso me compré otro par, por el buen resultado que me están dando las que aún utilizo y para tenerlas guardadas para cuando se me rompan estas.
