Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I am a DoD contractor and have had a pair of Columbia boots before and loved them each and everytime I wore them. So when I saw these I was expecting the same as before. Nope.. They were ever BETTER!! These are well made and I always double check things were the posibility of unstitching or defects most likely take place. The fit is great and ample for larger and thicker socks. You'll have more room in them with your everyday long calf tube socks, but if you go with the thicker socks they fill up just fine. I wear 11.5 US and these ran just right. They are warm and the Omni-Tech does just what it says it does. We get snow up in the higher elevations of Afghansitan and plenty of mud, rain and snow. I walk through everything without a second thought. Over all types of terrain. And these boots are amazing. Keep my feet warm and dry without compromising confort and manuverability. I need to be able to run in these boots too and they flex where I need them to. I know I will probly run these into the ground and use them harder than most people reading this, but that's the point. You'll get your monies worth out of these boots. Worth every penny.
