Columbia Men's Konos™ TRS Outdry™ Hiking Shoes

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The waterproofing is actually really good. I took them for a quick run to see how they feel and they are extremely comfortable. However the traction was the first thing that I fell I love with it really feels like your connecting to the road like a really good tire.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Waterproofing works great! Fit great! Great traction!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Like walking on foam. Can't be more comfortable. A brief test today on wet angular rocks -- traction excellent, no slipping at all.

Been wearing these for one month+. So far they’re outstanding. My dog and I do 3.5-4 miles a day and in colder weather my favorite shoes are Columbia so I thought I would try these out. I have flat feet and I wear custom orthotics in all my shoes so I’m very picky. The Konos have great stability, super cushioning I have yet to come home with wet socks. Thinking about another pair since they’re on sale.

I have been using the Konos TRS OutDry for a few weeks for light hiking to rocky terrain, I also use it for everyday activities and so far I am very satisfied. First impressions when wearing it soft and immediately comfortable, almost no break-in time.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very good quality. Very affordable. This is great.

Great looking shoe and love the new Konos soles. Very comfortable. I've encouraged others to take a look at the Konos lines. I've used these for everyday walking, took them hiking and love the comfort. They are very versatile in whatever environment. The durability has left me really bumping the down the rating. These bottom soles are much different in terms of traction compared to my featherweights (which I absolutely love). Since these have the extra traction, I've had issue of them coming apart in several places. Yes I can use some shoe goo to put them back in place but the durability I expected to be much better. The noise part of the soles are squeaky. Any kind of surface similar to a gym floor, you'll hear from a mile away.

I've been wearing these shoes for about 3 months and the waterproofing no longer works. I was walking in the rain yesterday for about 2.5 hours and the inside front of the shoes were soaked. I'm not sure it's a product defect because both left and right shoes were soaking inside. I think the water may be coming through the mesh on top of the shoe, but I could be wrong. The back of the shoes were fine because I was wearing pants that shielded the shoes from the rain. I think Columbia should market these shoes as water-resistant, not waterproof. My leather Rockport shoes perform better in the rain even though they make no claims about being waterproof or water-resistant. I think Columbia should re-design this shoe so that the front is solid instead of mesh and put the breathable sections of the shoe further back where pants would normally keep rain away from the shoe.
