Columbia Footwear Pagora Mid Trail Shoes (For Men)

I initially bought the women's version of these boots for myself. I liked them so much that, when it came time to look for a pair of light trail shoes/hikers for my boyfriend, I decided to pick up a pair for him, too. I wear mine both on trip and around town. They are very comfortable and we both feel that they are true to size, with a little room for a thick hiking sock. I've had mine since last summer, and they seem to be holding up nicely so far!

Nice Boots. Appear well made. Have not had very long. Replacing a pair of Garmont's that did not perform very well. So, these books look more heavy duty than the Garmont.

I'm on my feet most if the day and need a shoe with good support and all day comfort, this shoe does the job.

Just got these in anticipation of a trip to NZ, where I intend to do some "tramping", so I have not had a chance to put them to the test. Nevertheless, it seems as if they will work out quite well. Very comfortable and solid with good support. I am a big guy, and I am always concerned about amount of support. No worries with these. I ordered up a size, 14 instead of 13, and I think that was a good idea. 13 might have fit, but if you are thinking of wearing extra socks (or a liner and a sock), I would definitely order up a size. So far so good.

Finally got to take these out for a little 12 mile hike last weekend and for the first time wearing them, I was very happy. We decided to pack in for a mini trip and the stability while carrying a pack was great. It was a fairly hilly trail and I felt a little slide forward in the boot on the downhill, but about what you would expect from any boot. It was a hot day and the breathability was good and they were simple to take on and off while still providing secure lacing. I really like to high-top ankle support for the trail, but probably wouldn't wear them around town, although they do look nice. Overall great boot for day hikes or lighter trips. I only give it four stars because of lack of versatility, but for day hikes and light trips, it's top notch. Price was pretty good too.
