Let me start by saying that I had to return my original shipment because the shoes arrived without any insoles.  That being said, the 2nd shipment arrived in just 3 days - great job Amazon.  Ok for the review on the shoes - the insoles are thin as cardboard, so I inserted some better, thicker and comfortable insole.  The shoes fit great and are very lite weight.  Im a mailman with a walking route, so I wore the shoes out on my next work day and was able to complete the 9 miles without any issues- good insoles and great shoes.  The shoes are very lite, great grip when walking up, down and sideways on hilly areas.  The shoes come below the ankle. The shoes come with somewhat stretchy laces.  I rate this a plus keeping the shoes from getting too tight or binding.  Great shoes I would buy them again.

The cons I see are the thin insoles.  Also when traveling sideways on hills, the shoe does open up making it easier for debris to get into shoe.  In 9 miles this happened once.  My other issue is the cleats do pick up mud if you are walking in muddy area.  Stomping the shoe removes most but not all of the mud so be careful not to track mud or dirt inside.

I would definitely buy the shoes again. I would have gone for 5 stars, but I thought Columbia would have provided a more comfortable insole.
