Columbia Packus Ridge Omni-Tech Hiking Boot - Men's

The Columbia Women's Packus Ridge Omni-Tech Hiking Boots have waterproof breathable membranes that keep your feet dry when you hike in rain or splash through a stream. Plus these membranes let your sweat vapors escape. A contoured footbed and cushy midsole give you support and absorb shock so you can hike longer. A nylon shank in the midsole provides torsional rigidity and additional support for uneven terrain. The rubber outsole grips dirt, mud, and rocks to keep you upright.

Bottom Line: Enjoy dry feet when you hike in damp conditions—lace up your Columbia Packus Ridge Boots.

I am looking for a good, on the cheaper side hiking boot, for 5 - 10 mile hikes in easy - medium terrain, most likely nothing really hard. But I want a boot that can do a little bit of everything. I also have flat feet and have customer orthopedic inserts that I use in all my shoes. Are the soles in these shoes removable?
Do I need to buy regular width or extra wide to support a thick sock? All of my current regular shoes are normal width.
Thanks for the help!

The Packus Ridge Ridge is a good option. The insoles are removable. This shoe only comes in a regular width. Depends on the sock and how thick it is whether or not you would need a wide. You may need to go up a half size if the insole and the socks are really thick.

Big Guys Hike

By:

I bought these boots to wear in and out doors. I my line of work I am in and out alot. Living near Lake Erie the weather changes often so solid footwear is a must. These boots suit the bill. They are durable, comfortable and being I'm a big man I need tough boots and these are it. Dry, Warm, Tough...enough said.

Will these boots be too warm to wear in the summer months?
I want a pair of versatile boots that I can wear predominantly in spring, summer, & autumn around the MD, VA, NY areas. Trail runners seem to be a good idea too.

Well there are a couple of things you should also address. Where will you be hiking, meaning terrain and climate. How hot do you expect it to be, how wet, dry, steep, etc.

I've noticed waterproof boots are great for cold weather, but not so much for hot. In the warm months I like using lightweight super quick drying boots so I can walk through creeks and enjoy cooling off, then hiking them dry. Go for something with light mesh uppers and a medium weight rubber sole. To be specific, Keen makes a good boot that offers no break in time, is lightweight and quick drying, but their craftsmanship is crap. Be ready to only put in about 300 miles for their boots before they fall apart on you. I took the Keen Voyageur on the AT with me and had to replace them after only 400 miles, and the customer service they offered was shite. I did like that I didn't need to break them in though. This is neither here nor there though.

Best advice, go for something light and fast drying. I just use trail runners now though, even in the mountains, even while hiking with a 40lb load on my back. I think trail runners are the way to go.

Just got these and they're great. Comfortable, and warm. I wore them to a Bears game that set the record for lowest temp and didn't think once about cold toes.

Great shoes, but too narrow -- had to return

By:
October 15, 2009

I've bought D-width Columbia hiking boots and shoes in the past that fit fine, but these are slightly narrow and had to be returned. It's disappointing to have to return these well-designed shoes. It was easy making the return to Backcountry with their smooth running return process. Unfortunately there were no wide-width shoes available in this style to replace the ones returned.

These boots will work as long as you don't put them through the ringer. A better boot would be the Merrell Outland:http://www.backcountry.com/store/MER0042/Merrell-Outland-Mid-GTX-Boot-Mens.html
