Women’s Talus Ridge™ Mid OutDry Shoe 4.8 5 13 13
An Excellent investment! Columbia did a fantastic job in creating this boot! I find the sizing to be very true, roomy not only through the toe box which allows for heavier merino wool socks but also easily accommodated the exchange of the original foot bed for an orthopedic foot bed. The Out Dry technology performed great this week in temperatures that dipped down to -4 on icy packed parking lots and in the 40 degree melted snow slop three days later. They are light and comfortable and up to the challenge of putting in a 9 hour day here in the cross country ski center in the high Sierra! Awesome! January 16, 2013
Women's Talus Ridge Mid Outdry Shoe This is my second pair of these shoes. I bought these primarily for a winter shoe for running in agility trials, but also wear them for walking the dogs in the rain, snow and mud. They are light weight, but still offer the stability and traction I need for running in dirt arenas and they keep my feet warm and dry. They are not easy to slip on or off, but since I am running in them, I need a snug fit. I have a high instep, so I've had trouble finding shoes/low hikers that don't cut off the circulation on the top of my foot when laced up tight. I've worked around it by not running the laces through all the eyelets/holes on these shoes, but am still able to get a good, snug fit! January 16, 2013
Keeps feet dry Like the hiking boot. So far keeps feet dry. Seems to have good support. Only difficulty is putting on and off. Have to unlace quit a bit to get foot past ankle so allow about 5 minutes to put on and another 5 minutes to take off. December 21, 2012
Best hiking boots ever So comfortable right out of the box! Bit wider toe box is very nice. I ordered a .5 size bigger than my normal shoe size and with thick hiking socks they fit perfect. December 15, 2012
Love the hiking boots! I have a short wide foot. It's hard to find the width in a Ladies shoe. These fit great! I have already been on the trail in wet conditions and they are all you said they would be! October 30, 2012
Great shoe I just got these shoes and am very happy with them. I have already worn them twice on two 5 mile hikes to break them in and they feel awesome. No breaking in necessary. I did order 1/2 size larger and they fit great! September 26, 2012
What comfort! This is the fourth or fifth pair of Columbia boots I've purchased but the first I plan to keep. What a great pair of boots. Got them on Friday and took a 3 mile hike the next day over water, mud and up a 450 foot vertical ladder in 97 degree heat. My feet were dry and extremely comfortable; the only rub marks were around the top where I've not worn boots for a while and that was minimal. The toe box on this boot is wide, which is the problem I had with all the other boots I had ordered; the toe boxes were too narrow. Quite fashionable but not functional for my feet. Thanks to a great support person I was able to get the perfect boots when I had actually given up. I normally wear an 8 or 81/2 but went to a 91/2 in Columbia. They are a bit loose but will work well with an antiponator insert. August 8, 2012
design needs some tweeking I bought these boots for some short summer hikes. The boots are very comfortable- the toe box is very roomie. I did have one problem:The first time I put them on I tried to pull the laces tight on the lower foot and the tab eyelet (third from the top) ripped. The tabs at this point are made of vinyl-type fabric. I took the boot to a local shoe repair and had eyelets punched through the boot itself and reinforced.I could have returned the boots, but this was quicker and I think a more permanent solution.I did send an e-mail to let Columbia know of the problem I had..I got a very positive response and they may be looking at the issue..

A little too small for my long (SZ 12) feet The boots were nice and would've worked well but they were a little short for my long feet. Disappointingly, I had to send them back. May 12, 2012
Womens' Talus Ridge Mid Out Dry Excellent product,and workmanship!Always where a size ten but had to reorder to a ten and a half,well wotrth the effort. Very happy. March 27, 2012
Snowshoe and XC ski - PERFECT! Just got back from a weekend in Bend using brand new talus ridge shoes. I wore them one day at work to break them in (not that they needed it at all) to be on the safe side and then left for the mountain. We did 7 miles snowshoeing, 6 miles on XC skis and another 3 mile hike over 2 days. Not only did my feet stay bone dry and toes warm (after the obligatory "get em going"), but they were more comfortable than my running shoes and stylish too. I would say that they aren't that breathable which was good for the cold weather. My guess is that in the summer they might be a bit too warm, but that's strictly my guess. A GREAT winter boot though! Props.** Note - I do wear a 10.5 in Asics running shoes and 11 in Nike and went with the 11 in Columbia due to other suggestions on size and it was a good call.

this product has excellent features so light weight I felt like hiking even farther distance then normal. The waterproof feature was exceptional.I went though rain and mud. I didn't think they would ever be the same. Cleaned right up. I have a bad ankle that flips out of joint alot,these boot kept that from happening. I might even purchase another pair.well worth the expense. January 14, 2012
I just love my new boots! They're so comfi, yet durable & tough. No breaking in necessary, just lace up & go! Great support and flebablity. Snug too! January 7, 2012
