Columbia Peakfreak Rush Outdry Hiking Trainers, Grey

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Going with Columbia Sportswear again for my latest walking shoes. I am an avid walker who has not missed hitting 10k+ steps in a day since February 8, 2021. I was very happy with the Granite Trail I just finished burning through. Columbia seems to have stopped making the previous style, but I like these even more. Same great feel, but like the design and color options even more. I have gone through a lot of shoes over the years and Columbia Sports shoes differentiate with their solid construction, comfort and durability —the fit is true to size. Like all my walking shoes, these Columbia shoes are waterproof and they hold up extremely well against the elements. I walk in extreme rain, blizzards, etc. and on a variety of different terrains that have punished the competitor's shoes. If you are in the market for a serious walking / hiking shoe that is comfortable and high quality then look no further. I highly recommend Columbia Sports!

Bought these to replace an older pair of Columbia shoes. Unfortunately, Columbia apparently doesn't make the older model anymore. I thought these would replace the old ones. Wrong, not as good in every way. Construction is worse, materials worse, overall just a cheaper to make product and no match for the older Columbia shoe. Hey Columbia, just charge more and provide a better product rather than cheaping out.
