I ditched my trusty Keen boots for these Columbia hiking shoes for a week — here are my first impressions of the Tellurix Titanium

Gray and teal Columbia Tellurix Titanium hiking shoes.

A wise man once shouted, "What are thooooose?" while pointing at another man's shoes. That Vine went on to become one of the best memes of all time, to the extent that Shuri says the same to T'Challa in the 2018 Black Panther movie. My partner said more or less the same thing when she saw me wearing the Columbia Tellurix Titanium.

"What are those?" indeed, because one of my colleagues looked at the shoes around my feet and said plainly, "These really kill your vibe." The vibe in question being a black t-shirt and dark brown cargos — and to an extent, I agree. The shoes come in a few different colors, but I tested what I believe is the worst color of the bunch. But then again, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and what's pretty to you might not necessarily be pretty to me.
