First off I have to admit that I am a fairly large man at 6-4, 265lbs. I also wear a size 14 shoe. These Columbia shoes are absolutely very comfortable and equally supportive. The sole is very good and I imagine that even at my weight, they will hold up pretty well.

In addition, they are also very good looking for hiking shoes. They clean easily and they can be worn with jeans and/or khakis and still look reasonable and fashionable.
