Columbia Women's Packus Ridge Omni-Tech Boot

Technology makes the women's Columbia Sportswear Packus Ridge Omni-Tech waterproof hiking boot a superior choice for serious hikers. The suede leather and air mesh upper features Columbia's special Omni-Tech waterproofing technology. This microporous membrane blocks outside water from seeping through to your foot, but breathes to allow perspiration from your foot to escape to keep your foot comfortably dry for the entire trek. All day comfort is provided by the Contour Comfort 1D footbed that interacts with the natural contours of your foot. Proper torsional rigidity and support are provided by a molded nylon shank and internal EVA midsole. The gusseted tongue and durable metal hooks on the upper eyestay help ensure a continued fit. And don't worry about odor after the long distance hike. Both the internal lining and footbed of the Packus Ridge feature the Omni-Fresh anti-microbial and anti-odor treatment which uses Columbia's AgION technology. This special treatment uses silver ions to combat a broad range of bacteria, keeping the footbed clean and neutralizing odor. Columbia finishes this great hiking boot with its Omni-Grip green outsole, a hiking outsole made of a non-marking firm-to-medium rubber compound with increased abrasion resistance for longer wear.

Best hiker--perfect fit
These boots fit perfectly right from the moment I first tried them on. I have a very hard time finding shoes/boots since I usually wear a 12N. These boots are regular width, but they are just right. I can wear two pairs of socks for winter hiking or one pair for summer hiking. I have only hiked once so far, but they performed beautifully. This hike was on snow-covered ground. I do not know yet how 'waterproof' they will be. The lacing system allows for a nice tight fit, if desired. Also, there is well more than an inch of lacing width showing...those with narrow feet know how we usually have to tighten the laces all the way together so the sides almost overlap. Finally, these boots are also very nice looking, and this is the first time I can say that my feet actually look small!

So comfortable!!
I have worn this brand before and really love the fit -- tried these on as soon as they arrived and they feel awesome! I need good arch support (ususally put orthodics in my shoes) and these already feel very supportive! I bought them anticipating many kilometers of hiking in Switzerland in June ... I'm confident they'll have me comfortable every step. I'm usually a 7 1/2 shoe but an 8 fits just right. Great price and super speedy shipping ... thank you and I'll be back for more!
