Highly recommended - (only 1 caveat)
1st, let me say - i will be purchasing another pair of these a) waterproof 5/5 - wore in rain and walked through puddles over the toes - on purpose - perfect! b) stylish 4.5/5 though you mileage my differ :) - c) grip on wet floors and grip design for hiking - both top notch d) comfort ... okay.. the only down side - they came with a very flimsy 1/16th in insole. So, felt like i was walking on the ground - thats good for those who want that feeling. i took the sole out of my buggaboot II i replaced - that thing was built for serious hiking -its maybe 1/2" cushion. Dang, when i put that in, this boot because a 7/5! Columbia - pay attention to this! this is the only drawback that felt a little 'cheap' or at least ignored. Put the serious bugaboot insole in this shoe - it deserves it. Hopefully i can buy another bugaboot insole from Columbia to go inside my new purchase.
Yes, I recommend this product.
