Day Walking Shoes

Does the thought of soggy shoes and wet feet put you off exploring the outdoors? We don't blame you. Fortunately, we have the perfect solution: waterproof hiking shoes. We cannot control the weather, but Columbia Sportswear® can stop wet conditions from spoiling your hike. Our waterproof hiking shoes feature our ground-breaking technology to keep your feet dry and ultra-comfortable. So, whether hiking along the coast or running errands, the weather won't get in your way. And while they might be made for trekking, our light hiking shoes look and feel great anywhere. Choose from a range of styles, colours and low and mid-cut options. And if you want something lightweight and convenient, why not don a pair of our waterproof hiking sandals for men?

As experts in hiking, we know that one of the quickest ways to spoil an outdoor adventure is a soaked hiking boot and wet feet. Whether hiking your favourite trail, navigating puddles around town or being caught in a sudden downpour, waterproof shoes for men, women, and kids are a hiker’s best friend. Not only do they keep you dry but they help you hike for longer thanks to our range of waterproof technologies:

• OutDry™: Ideal when you'll be out in heavy snow or rain. The waterproof materials are moulded to the outer fabric of men’s and women’s hiking boots. This creates a continuous barrier with no seams or gaps for water to get in.

• Omni-Tech™: This technology creates a multilayered waterproof barrier for lighter to medium snow and rain. It's also breathable, allowing excess moisture to escape.

• Omni-Shield™: For outdoor adventures in lighter rain, a water-repelling finish on the outside of the shoe prevents moisture from absorbing. It also provides great breathability and flexibility while also reducing stains.

Our supportive light and low hiking shoes are designed to lighten your load while providing maximum comfort and durability. They keep your feet feeling light, whether hitting the trails or pounding the pavement. These comfortable hiking shoes offer superb comfort and protection for your feet, toes and ankles. Thanks to its cushioned insole and midsole, excellent shock absorption and protective technologies, they fit snugly to support you mile after mile. Mesh and suede uppers, synthetic leather overlays and moulded toe caps offer additional protection, while moisture-wicking fabrics help keep your feet dry and fresh.

Our Techlite™ technology also prevents your feet from feeling tired and achy, providing superior cushioning and all-day comfort. These shoes and leather hiking boots are also breathable, so your feet won't become tired, sweaty and uncomfortable, even on the most vigorous hikes.

If you're looking for flexible, waterproof all-terrain shoes to keep you on the right track, you're in the right place. Our men’s and women’s hiking shoes work hard from the start of your adventures until the end. Whether walking on uneven, rocky ground or wet, slippery surfaces, Omni Grip™ technology will give you great stability, with grippy soles providing impressive traction.

Meanwhile, our Adapt Trax™ technology combined with large lugs on the sole (deep indentations on a thick rubber sole) provide the grip you need when going uphill and act as an effective brake when going down. And the technology doesn't end there. You need your walking shoes to stay put when navigating uneven, challenging terrain or picking up speed. We have waterproof winter shoes featuring our Navic Fit System™ to secure your foot in place with no sliding or heel slippage.

A good pair of waterproof mountain hiking shoes is one of the most important items of hiking gear you'll own. Whether enjoying a day hike or multiple days on a trail, your shoes will ensure you can keep going mile after mile. We recommend pairing our light hiking shoes with hiking socks and a good hiking jacket for maximum comfort.
