Customer Reviews Columbia Redmond™ V2 Waterproof

I really like these shoes, but unfortunately the fit wasn’t quite right for me so I will be returning them tomorrow. They felt true to size for the length. They felt too narrow across the widest part of my foot, so my toes felt cramped (width, not length). I normally wear a medium width shoe.

Oh how I wanted to keep this shoe! It hit my high priority marks: waterproof, well-made, and rugged enough for hiking. However, the fit was not right. This would be a great shoe for a person with longer narrow feet...there's plenty (too much for me) room in the toebox, thus, it had to be returned.

hard to find the right fit, ended up with a men's size

The last time I ordered Columbia waterproof walking shoes, the quality was NOTICEABLY better. Since I bought 2 pairs last time, I hadn't purchased this type of shoe in a while. The quality of the shoe has gone down BIGTIME. Even with gel insoles, my feet feel very close to the street. The shoes feel rather "cardboard-y." The size has also changed. Last time, I purchased a half size UP from what I usually wear. This time, I had to go a half size DOWN. I ended up having to order a total of 4 pairs to get the right size (returned 3 of course). I kept the one that fit best namely because of all the trouble I'd gone to and because my old walking shoes were completely worn out--but I will NOT be buying Columbia brand again.

Shoe rubbed at bottom ofankle.

no arch support at all. had to return.

Not stiff enough of a toe box for we who have Hallux Rigidus.

Nice footbed but ugly shoe. Too short for my 8.5 foot.

I bought these to replace an old pair of Columbia hiking sneakers and these are smaller and narrower. The cushioning inside was comfortable. I found the changes in styling to make them seem rather basic and more like sneakers than hiking shoes. I will return.

Long and narrow, which is a bit restrictive on the toes. I had to go down a half size because these were so long, but still very narrow. Look is great and durability too, just not a pair of shoes I could wear for very long intervals of time.

Needed to add arch support and I do not regularly need to do this for shoes.

Kinda cloddy. Stiff. Ok I guess and their waterproof but just not comfortable on walks.

Had to return the shoes. They were too small. Couldn't even try them on. Otherwise good looking and light weight.

These were really cute but felt loose even when I tightened up the laces.

Fit was ok, true to size. Poor arch support and the pressure on my heel when I wore the shoe was enough to make me return it. Not sure if its because the footbed lacks cushion or the sole was too plastic-y and synthetic.

Get the Columbia Crestwood instead. This felt like a chintzy shoe.

Sized well to fit a woman's foot, especially in the outer foot bed in the heel area. Not bulky at all. I have narrow feet and it fit ok with thin socks, but with an added pair of white Wigwams, it felt tight. This could possibly be stretched out. However, there is zero arch support. I do not need much and was very surprised that these had basically zero support, so I returned them. I walk on dirt/grass trails for about 30-45 minutes at a time. The grip was definitely adequate for that. No idea on the waterproofing as I never even wore them out of the house.

These shoes are heavy and they are sized a bit small; my toes hit the end of these shoes.
