Excellent for the boat. They are perfect for fishing the flats. Plenty of grip. Secure on top of the poling platform. I wear 10's in every shoe, but these are kinda big. I should have got them in 9.5. Quality is what I have come to expect from Columbia Sportswear! Awesome! February 26, 2013
This product has great features The product has a great fit and confort. It is extremely lighter than the one I replaced it with. February 26, 2013
A MUST have These are the new must have for any angler/boater. They do everything they say they do but better. I really put these shoes to the test and they have yet to disappoint. The grip, even with fish or bait slime all over the deck rocks. I used to have some heel pain after a few days of steady fishing but I've had NONE since I got these. As far as wading, they again rock. The insole comes for even faster drying but I've had mine on for 8-10 hours and my feet weren't even pruned. February 15, 2013
powderdrain shoe very comfortable and drys quickly. runs a little big February 12, 2013
Light as a feather I bought these for my fiance for our honeymoon in July, but we started using them early since we live in south FL. They are true to size, flexible in the width which is great since his feet are a little wide. He wears a size 15, but they are light as a feather!! They are holding up great to his 6'5" 325 body. I would highly recommend these shoes. Easy to clean and dry with hanger that was included in package. January 28, 2013
Shoes works as described Remember to order according to your size without socks. They drain well and I am looking forward to using them more when the water is warmer. Haven't tried wading with them yet. January 14, 2013
I was sold on the features of these shoes I wasn't sure at first about purchasing something like shoes by mail order. You never know about the fit. I was pleasantly suprised they fit perfectly. I have been viewing these shoes as a perfect choice for the Boundary Waters Canoe Area. I was looking for comfort, durability and something that would drain well if becoming wet.I believe this will be a better choice than the waterproof shoes I have used in the past. Once the waterproof shoes were wet inside they took a long time to dry out in the elements. So foot comfort canoeing and portaging on rocky uneven terrain was an issue.I have found exactly what I have been looking for. Something that will drain when wet. Next season will be the true test of these lightweight comfortable shoes. I can't wait to give them a try. November 18, 2012
Great Shoe, Poor Workmanship I purchased this shoe 4 months ago and loved it from the beginning. It's feather-light, fits great, and simply feels awesome to wear. I would have given this shoe easily 5 stars.Unfortunately I noticed various tears in areas where the upper fabric joins the rubber and find this really disappointing because of moderate use under normal conditions. October 19, 2012
Even better The Drainmakers are great, the Powerdrains are even better! September 18, 2012
Excellent Portage shoe After 15 years of use, my old portage shoes finally gave out and I had to quickly find a newer version. I reviewed everything I could find on the internet and Powerdrain was the only one that I could find that had closed mesh to keep small stones out. A 10 day trip in the BWCA and many portages later I can tell you that these shoes perfomed excellently. Not one stone, though some sand got in these shoes were great. I would have liked a better color selection on the shoes as yellow and red are not my favorite shoe color. My last portage shoes were columbia as well and they lasted almost 300 days of portaging over 15 years and I believe these shoes will give similar performance September 17, 2012
Mens Powerdrain Shoe Purcheed in lemon color. I love this product as a boat and everyday shoe. Very light weight and wicks moisture away. From someone who fishes 100 plus days a year, this shoe is perfect! September 12, 2012
Powerdrain X 2 Purchased a second pair shortly after receiving and wearing the first pair. They are light weight and comfortable during long days of fishing. September 2, 2012
4.5 stars - Good Shoe A good kayaking/river walking/water exploring shoe. It is better than the other brands I have used over the past several years.It does a good job of keeping most stuff out of the shoe and drains water well. Sand can still accumilate, but no rocks inbetween your foot and in-sole. August 24, 2012
A True Boat Shoe Update Works exactly as described. Non-marking soles also. Great for wading the shallows and then hopping back in the boat. Supportive for working around the dock and preventing stubbed toes and splinters. August 19, 2012
Great Boat Shoe This shoe is great for being on a boat & keeping traction in a wet cockpit all day. Just wore them on a 7 day trip in Baja, Mexico & wont go fishing with out them anymore. Dries pretty quick. The only downfall of the shoe is once you get sand inside, it is impossible to get all the way out, it gets stuck in the mesh drains under the sole & wont drain out. August 9, 2012
Pretty Awesome Shoes These shoes are way more comfortable and a lot lighter then what I was expecting and they work great. I can run trails in them and the dive straight into the water and swim in them without feeling like they are weighing me down. Plus well traversing over wet rocks etc I had tons of traction. I bought a pair for my wife too and she loves here as well.The only issue I have with mine is that (and this may have something to do with the way I walk/run or the shape of my foot) but I find that little rocks, sand and twigs seam to get into them around my ankle. I will try tightening them a bit more to see if this fixes the issue. I say that it may have something to do with me personally because my wife never experienced this.Overall super happy with them. August 8, 2012
outstanding water shoe after watching my son and wife enjoy their drainmakers, i got a pair of powerdrains for me. extremely light and comfortable these are at home on land or in the water. they are a great kayak and wading shoe. they are true to size in length but my fat foot makes them a bit snug at first. a wide size would be great but they fit like a snug glove now. be warned, a week or so without socks and they will start to attract vultures with the smell but a trip to the washing machine on cold fixes them right up. August 8, 2012
Powerdrain Very light weight, comfortable, and grips well on boat deck. August 1, 2012
Great water shoe for all water sports. Great water shoe for all water sports. Excellent comfort and fit. Use all the time when boating. July 30, 2012
Great fishing shoe! This is a great shoe for fishing when your feet get wet all day. They are extremely light weight and dry very fast. The sole is amazing, you have very good traction on any surface. I highly recommend this shoe to anyone that goes fishing and doesn't care to get wet. July 21, 2012
Great shoe! I am a fishing guide and I switched from crocs to these. I ordered a half size smaller than I normally wear and that was perfect for me (just guessed because I knew I wouldn't be wearing these with socks). I love these shoes and I wear them every day.The only negative, and I saw this below, is that they did smell bad really quickly. I just threw them in the washing machine with some tide and they came out like new and smelling great. July 20, 2012
Power Smell Comfortable, lite. Wore them for 2 weeks straight. Once they gotwet from the Lake water an odor appeared. Bad! Little toe side shows wear. Have sprayed them with Right Guard, Cologne, Glade andwashed twice. For the price they did not live up to expectations. July 8, 2012
Dries quickly, comfortable as a walking shoe as well as a wet shoe. I suffer from fallen arches and must wear pros tics in my shoes, this shoe works great giving me support as a wet shoe and many other uses....love it!! July 7, 2012
Good but Could Be Better The good:-------------I find the shoe very comfortable and it did not require any break-in period. It does drain. One can remove the insoles which are also perforated allowing for faster drying.The not so good:----------------------It does not dry that quickly. While same say that it does, I believe one needs to define "dry quickly". If this is completely submersed / soaked, I found that it took longer than 24 hours to completely dry.While the interior material is thin and lightweight, it does tend to hold moisture. It is also difficult to dry up in the toe area where there is little exposure.I do believe that it is a good quality product and because of the removable insoles and comfort, I would rate slightly better than the Teva Gnarkosi, for example. It would just be nice if it dried a bit more quickly. July 5, 2012
Best fishing/boating shoe...EVER!!! I've been around boats my whole life. Whether its cruising, inshore fishing, offshore fishing, or just working on them. I've been in a search for the best shoe for all around boating for a 10+ years now.I needed something that would handled getting soaked while backing down on a big fish, getting covered in blood & guts then getting rinsed off. It also had to give me uncompromising traction so I can run around the boat without worrying about slipping. Well, my search for the perfect boat show is over. These things are amazing!!!Not one blister after getting bounced around in the cockpit for 12+ hours with no socks on. Very light, even when wet. They also dry pretty quickly. I took them off to let them dry out in the cockpit on the ride home from a recent trip to the canyons off of the NJ coast, while I relaxed in the boats salon. I went out to the cockpit to sit outside for a bit and slipped and almost fell on my first step...because I had forgotten I wasn't wearing my Powerdrains.These things LOCK YOU DOWN on the slipperiest boat surface.We all know cockpits can get a bit crazy when the bite is on. The Powerdrains also do an excellent job protecting your feet from hooks/knives flopping around on the deck. The toe cap is a huge help while fighting/leadering/gaffing fish too.I have the black pair and they look like a regular sneaker. Not like a water moccasin like some other water or boat shoes out there.I usually don't write reviews, but I could not be happier with this shoe and am considering buying another pair just in case they discontinue this one over the next couple of years.Whether you work on boats, are a serious angler, or just enjoy kicking around boats on the weekend. You will not be disappointed with this shoe. July 2, 2012
Great multipurspose shoe for wet and dry conditions..... I've only had these about three weeks, but so far, they've been great. It's a nice light weight shoe for warm and hot weather conditions. I throw them on in the morning and wear them all day for wet and dry activities. They also wash up nicely, at the end of the day, and dry overnight. Well done, Columbia. June 22, 2012
Must have for fisherman These are great for fishing at the lake or river. Watersocks and flipflops just don't cut it in the rocks and mud. These are like wearing a regular pair of shoes. I like to wade out to bass fish in the cat tails or set trot lines for catfish. I can clumsily tromp about without the worry of marring my feet from rocks, sticks, or other sharp objects. I highly recommend spraying/cleaning them out with the garden hose and hanging them to dry once you've returned home. This is my first pair of Columbia brand shoes and I am more than satisfied. Comfortable and perfect for fishing! June 15, 2012
Men's Powerdrain Fit great, light and no socks required.Nice for just knocking around. June 13, 2012
Exactly what I was looking for. Light, well made, supportive and comfortable. I am an ocean fisherman and needed a pair of water shoes to wear at the boat wash rack after fishing as surfaces are very wet and slippery. These shoes are everything I was looking for, and more. My wife now wants a pair to wear on the boat while fishing. June 11, 2012
WOW! This is honestly one of the most comfortable pairs of shoes I have ever worn!I wear these for literally everything. Running, Biking, beaching!Whatever! Thank you Columbia. I'm going to buy a second pair just so I have another pair in a different color! June 11, 2012
Great water Shoe I wear water shoes every day and own several different brands. I picked up a pair of the power drains a few months ago and pretty much made my other shoes obsolete. I am an outfitter so I am in and out of the water all day, climbing hills and boat ramps,walking on slick rocks etc. I spend 10-12 hours a day in my Powerdrains and they are the best water shoes I have found. I have two pair now so I can switch them out and let one pair dry at the end of the day. I highly recommend the Powerdrains. June 7, 2012
good shoes for daily use the shoes do not drain as quickly as I thought, in fact while I go to the beach morning, it still feel damp at night. and it looks not as firm as I thought. well, I will be careful when I wear it so that it can have a longer life. June 2, 2012
Powerdrain for every occasion! I bought the Powerdrain a couple months ago, in anticipation of a trip to Hawaii. Hiking to waterfalls, or to and from snorkeling spots, I figured this shoe would be perfect... But I have worn them so much this spring I may need a new pair before my trip in July! Seriously cool and versitile shoe. Breathable. Unreal in the water. I have trail run in them a few times as well, and not had any issues, because the shoes remain supportive with their solid wide base. May 30, 2012
Great Shoe Great shoes for anyone who loves the outdoors. I use them mainly for fishing and kayaking, and I couldn't imagine any other shoe on the market being as versatile as these shoes. May 1, 2012
Powerdrain is Beefier AT version of the Drainmaker! I've had this shoe for about 3 weeks now and love it. It is a beefier version of the Drainmaker with a bit more reinforcement of the toe cap without making the shoe heavy. It is very breathable and water still water well from it. I love the Techlite material for shock absorption and griping ability in wet conditions. I also like the bungee lacing system instead of full laces. I only wish it were available in the black/chartreuse color like the Drainmaker but the Black/Asphalt gray is pretty sharp as well as this is the color I have. I would also like to see it in Navy Blue/Silver or White color. Very nice watershoe. It fits and wears very well so far. April 8, 2012
Lightest Comfy Shoes These are the lightest, most breathable, water shoes ever. I bought these for everyday use, kayaking/ rafting, and approach. They are very comfortable and light. April 6, 2012
Great shoe, durability? These have been great shoes for wading rocky shoreline areas in Hawaii, in and out of the water. They are lightweight and shed water well-very little sloshing when exiting the water. Also, they grip really well. Unfortunately, I somehow have already partially torn the rubber protector on the toe of one of the shoes after only wearing twice. So, I'm wondering about durability. Otherwise, these are the best footwear for water that I've ever had. March 23, 2012
Best Boat Shoe Ever This is the best boat shoe I have ever owned. Lightweight, dry's quickly, and very comfortable. I'm on the water over 200 days a year and this is by far the best boat shoe I have ever had on my feet. March 3, 2012
