This Columbia shoe has excellent traction, allows your feet to breath, fits right (10 was a perfect fit), and is one of the most comfortable pair of shoes I have worn.  After a year of wear (light trail hiking), they have remained quite durable. Also note that the shoes appear darker in the photograph on Amazon's webpage than in actuality. I bought a second pair as a backup (the price is right), and wouldn't hesitate to buy another Columbia shoe in the future. Highly recommended.
