A basic introductory shoe for Columbia, not quite the quality of comfort that I am familiar with from Columbia, which maybe why the sales price is so reasonable. It does have leather or leather like sidewalls, rubber trim around the front tip of the shoe, nice tread and a canvas front from the tongue to the toe. The shoe laces are  a bit odd in that they are virtually white for the brown colored shoe that I selected and I immediaterly replaced them with brown. I would have preferred that the canvas color match the leather side walls and I would have preferred that the eyelets for the laces have  a color that matched the leather as opposed to red. The shoe fits a little wide and the insole is very thick to allow for internal cushioning. A good shoe for those on a budget and particularly a good kids shoe. I gave it three stars based on the price making it a good value. If budget is not a concern, I would recommend a higher quality Columbia shoe since the quality of this shoe does not tmeet he Columbia standard that I am more familar with.
