Columbia makes the most comfortable footwear. Ever. I have 3 pairs of Columbia footwear now, including this Aquatooth Water Shoe. These shoes are light, comfortable, and fit my feet perfectly. Because I have flat feet, I am limited to only a few brands of footwear, one of which is Columbia. I can walk in these for hours. A few co-workers also commented on the unique design and color. These are definitely a good buy.
