Customer Reviews Columbia Trail Meister™ IV

I purchased this shoe during the summer of 2008 in a 15W. I am very happy with the way they fit and they are the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned. This shoe is great for everyday use, but if you want a shoe for more aggressive hiking I recommend getting it in a Mid (I bought the Mid a few months after I bought these). The Mid gave an extra 1 1/2 inches of support around the ankle and also fit great. Zappos delivered them super fast. The only minor issue I have with these shoes is that the round laces come loose sometimes.

Great Mnt. Whitney shoes ! Have had three pairs now. Each pair has been smaller. Went out and was measured at a shoe shop to make sure my big feet weren't growing. Be sure to order larger. Very durable. Use them on my yearly Mnt. Whitney hike. Will soon buy a fourth pair.

Fits Great - Fit is great, about a 1/2 size bigger than I normally wear, but seems to be true with Columbia brand. But they are very comfortable!

Outstanding Shoe - Excellent fit; width is perfect; handles arch support inserts very well. Best walking shoe I have owned.

Columbia Meister IV - This shoe is the only casual shoe I will wear! The quality of workmanship is absolutely flawless. The materials used in the production of the shoe are first rate. Great job Columbia; keep up the good work!!!

Extremely pleased - My son's shoes fit him perfectly and he is very satisfied with look and comfort. I ordered the shoes using the regular shipping option, but received express shipping that delivered the shoes in two days. Wow, extra large sizes, express shipping, great price; Zappos is my first choice for online orders from now on.

I like it. Shoe felt great from the start. No real break-in need and size was true.

These are replacements for another Columbia pair of similar design. I have moved my original pair to yard work fare. These are perfect for weekends and woodland vacations.

Columbia Trail Meister - Nice looking treds as well as comfortable. Very happy with this product.

Columbia Trail Meister IV - I am pleased not only with the price, but moreover the look of the shoe, but more than that, the important part really is the fit, the comfort, and support. These shoes have helped me keep my feet feeling good. The grip of the soles really caught my attention going up steep creek banks and hillsides.

Great for camp! We purchased a pair of these shoes in the wide size for our growing boy. He hiked, hauled, and ran all over camp with them this summer. Not a single blister--a first for our camper. He was thrilled with these shoes, and so were we. (They look nice, too.)

Great looking shoe, lightweight, and comfortable! I have had good luck with Columbia shoes in the past and I expect no different from this pair. Zappos is the best with speed of delivery! I ordered the pair early Thursday morning and was wearing them at noon the next day! Now that's fast! Zappos is a great outfit to do business with! All ACES!!!

A great shoe and great service. I had never tried this brand before and was worried about the fit but it was dead on. They seemed a little snug across the top of my foot when I first put them on, but after a few hours they were one of the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. I use them for work and have really noticed a difference in how my feet feel at the end of the day.

Exactly what it claimed to be - Amazingly comfortable, best shoe for the price.

Good looking work shoe. My husband finally has a work shoe that doesn't look like one. He doesn't like the regular work shoes because they are too heavy and have high sides. This one is comfortable and lightweight. He is a gardener and it supports his feet and they look like a gardener’s shoe. Thanks!

Last FOREVER! These were bought for my 16 year old son, in a size 17! This is the second pair in this color and it is amazing how long these shoes last. This kid is hard on shoes as he wears them everyday and for PE four times a week as well as when he walks the dog each night. Columbia shoes have held up to a teenage kid for almost a year at a time. I buy him two or three pair at a time, but he's got this weird idea that he wants to wear them out before he moves on to the next pair. Anyway, this can take a while because these shoes are so well made.

Great Shoes... will buy same type in the future. Great for remaining comfortable while walking repeatedly at work. Fantastic Shoes!!

Columbia Trail Meister IV - Great shoe, very light. Seems durable, fits great.

Good Boots - These are good comfy boots that will keep your feet dry when the weather is wet.

Nice all purpose shoe - These are a nice all purpose shoe, going from the office to the production floor then to the barn and even around the house.

Everyday casual comfort - On my feet pretty much all day, very comfortable, rugged, casual shoe. Would buy again.

A good pair of walking shoes - I like it functionally. Although the front end looks a bit heavy, structurally it is well designed.

Buy the right width - 14 EEE shoes are often unavailable. I took a chance with 14 E's, and they are taking some breaking in (as are my feet). Otherwise I'm very happy with the shoes, and if I could have bought the larger size, would have given another star.

Great shoe - I wore out two pairs of Columbia Bear Claws and was disappointed to find that they were no longer available. I replaced them with the Trail Meister IV. I have been very pleased with these shoes having worn them about a month now. I don't think they feel quite as good as the Bear Claws but overall, they are a great shoe. They are comfortable with a good cushion. I am on my feet about 12 hours a day and so far these are holding up well.

Comfy and stylish - I have been wearing Columbia shoes for years - They last about a year of everyday. I’m hard on my shoes and if I took better care of them they would probably last longer (that’s my mother talking) anyway - these shoes are comfortable and fit perfectly - they have good arch support side support. The tread is deep and aggressive perfect for all the indoor hiking across rugged carpet! All in all it’s a good shoe for the price. One last thing - I ordered these shoes at 11pm last night and they were delivered to my house by 1pm today (scary fast) :)
