TECHLITE®
Lightweight
Cushioning
and Support

Engineered specifically to provide superior comfort & cushioning for outdoor footwear, Techlite is durable, impact absorbing, and provides consistent support and protection throughout a range of footwear uses.

OMNI-GRIP®
Hold Tight on
Any Terrain

Omni-Grip is an advanced traction solution for trail, hiking, winter and water wear, ensuring outdoor stability, no matter where your adventures take you.

Our revolutionary new Techlite® heel piece moves dense stabilizing elements to the outside (putting softer material directly against your foot) to provide a comfortable, supportive fit, while Omni-Tech waterproof-breathable technology keeps the elements at bay. At the midsole, full-length Techlite provides plenty of cushioning and lightweight flex over uneven terrain. Omni-Grip® traction on the rubber sole grips rocks, dirt, mud and just about anything else you encounter on off-road adventures. Breathable mesh and a soft material in the flex zones mean superior comfort with great agility and ease of movement. The gusseted tongue keeps out rocks, sticks, and dirt while light, sinewy overlays offer additional protection without adding unnecessary bulk.

FEATURES:

Synthetic and breathable mesh upper 3D Techlite® heel for comfort, support and fit
Omni-Tech waterproof breathable technology
Full length Techlite midsole for cushioning and lightweight flexibility
Full length Omni-Grip traction with aggressive lug pattern for good traction

Great shoes. Shoes were a gift for my husband. HE loves them. Look is great, fits well and quality of shoe is good. September 8, 2012

Great repeat purchase! I bought these for a friend--this time he asked for 2 pairs! He obviously loves them! April 1, 2012

Comfortable shoe with a few quirks The shoe is comfortable. The size is consistent to previous shoe sizes. The materials used in the construction, especially the part around the opening, seem to reduced quality. The back (the part touching the heel) is a little high and stiff. March 1, 2012

The shoe that fits The first day I received these shoes I put them to the test. I headed out past Zig Zag to go play in the snow with my truck. I got stuck once and had to dig myself out. The shoes kept me dry and I didn't slip once.When I got home later that day I noticed I had a coolant issue with my truck. Well it was raining steady for about 4 hours night. I worked on my truck and was soaked in the process. My feet stayed dry throughout the whole repair. I was surprised how much traction I had while standing on a wet bumper.The shoes fit true to size for me. My feet are a little wide, I didn't notice any issues there. They are comfortable and you dont notice shoes while wearing them. November 28, 2011

Backpacking China After only two hours of walking around downtown Beijing I came to lament the shoes' complete lack of arch support. Also, after only five days of wearing the shoes that included only one strenuous hike, the insole of the right shoe started to slip up the heel. My incomplete fix to the problem was to removing the insole and re-attach it to the sole with a piece of duct tape. Aside from those two problems the shoes were great but they were big enough to keep me from recommending them. June 10, 2011

Switchback runs quite wide in the foot for this brand of Columbia shoe. So wide that I can only use for general walking around at work. May 28, 2011
