Columbia Footwear Pagora Mid Trail Shoes (For Men)

These are a great pair of hikers. I am more of a low-cut shoe guy, but that just doesn't cut it for backpacking. Low-cut water-proof shoes usually aren't of much help either. However, these mids are awesome. Just took them on a moderate hike in Rocky Mountain NP walked through streams to test out the water-proofness, and came out dry as a bone. They are fairly lightweight for a solid hiking shoe, which is a big plus. A little extra weight can make a big deal on a long hike. I actually liked them so much I went online to get a second pair, unfortunately they were all gone! 5 stars in my opinion.

Great for the all too frequently wet summer weather in SW Scotland

The shoe fits well and works great as an ankle protector.

After wearing these for three days, I sent them back. The foot bed is red, and bleeds, so you end up with pink socks. They also left my feet sore at the end of the day. They did, however, keep my feet dry during light rain. If you do order them, and plan to wear thicker socks, order a half size up.

The water just beaded off! It didn't even look like they got wet shortly after i pulled my foot up. Went in about ankle deep to test the water proofness. Only draw backs were they are kinda warm but tolerable in the hotter weather, and they are quite heavy. Used them when I went mushroom hunting and went for a day hike/ 3 day camp.
