The Columbia Konos TRS OutDry Mid Shoe is a rugged, waterproof hiking shoe perfect for those who need comfort, durability, and versatility on the trail. If you’re used to wearing a more traditional style hiking boot with a high ankle cut and a rugged leather upper, then the mid-height Columbia Konos TRS OutDry Mid Shoe may throw you off a little. However, I put the Konos shoe to the test during a hiking trip in Switzerland and they did not disappoint.
I spent three days hiking in the beautiful Swiss Valley, Val d'Anniviers, conquering varying trails from rocky mountain paths to, slick grass-covered slopes to muddy forest trails. While the weather was mostly blue skies and sunshine for the majority of my time hiking in Switzerland, I did get to test the shoe in some wetter conditions including muddy puddles and shallow bodies of water. Plus, the shoe stayed on my feet for up to 10+ hours a day so I got a pretty good feel for their overall comfort and breathability.
