I usually do not write a lot of review. But I feel this product requires a negative review. I purchased this for the fall/winter month to be somewhere between my regular shoes and my boots... For days when you don't need boots, but too cold in regular shoes. The front started to tear within a week of wearing. Now the shoes leak water easily even when there is little water. My experience with Columbia products have always been positive- so it is disappointing this product turned out to be so negative.
