 A Boot with an Achilles Heel Jan 11, 2007
By Bug Doc
Its been about 2 months since purchasing this boot. The 3rd party vendor had a great price and delivered on time, so 5 stars there.
The shoe however get mixed reviews. Being a long time Columbia customer, I wasn't surprised by the out of the box quality except that I remember thinking how flimsy the plastic speed lace clips looked... sure enough one has already broke and I no longer use the speed clip feature, always keeping them laced with fingers crossed on the remaining three. (As an aside, Columbia customer service also gets a mixed review on this. While the clip would be covered under warranty I still will need to cover the freight one way. While this is the industry standard as pointed out to me by the on line customer rep, I don't feel I should pay one more cent for an under-engineered fault of Columbia's. And really, do you want to buy something from a just average company?)
Otherwise the boots do what I had expected, relatively light weight, waterproof, and comfortable, with just enough flex in the uppers to not chafe yet provide support. Grip is good too on varying surfaces except glare ice. I agree with other reviewers that this is an active wear boot, and would not recommend it for sub zero Fahrenheit temps and long periods of inactivity. And, if you overnight with them, plan on sleeping with them to prevent freezing since the liners are not removable. For my 45 minutes a day walking commute to work and day hikes in the upper Midwest the boot works well.
Would I buy them again? Not without a lot more research for an alternative (preferably with a metal speed lace clip!).

 Great boots! Mar 20, 2006
By Sam A.
Comfortable, warm, and dry. You really don't want to take these off. Tread freely through anything with confidence, and great traction. Awesome value.

 Bugabootoo has a lot of bugs Jan 10, 2009
By Michael J. Schmitt
The seams between the rubber and the leather started failing the first year. I sewed them up and patched them with ShoeGoo, but then the rubber started cracking in several other places. In total I have three major separations at the seams, and 6 other large cracks in the rubber.

Poor Nov 17, 2008
By K. Kesler
After wearing only a couple dozen times the rubber started to come apart on these where they are stiched together at the seam between the upper and lower sections. I expect that from a 19 dollar mart-mart boot, not something from Columbia. Disappointing.
Columbia also won't respond to inquiries about their product. Buy something else made by someone else.
