I’ll be honest – for a long time, I never really got on all that well with Columbia hiking shoes. The Facet 75 Alphas were too sweaty and the Facet 60s didn’t have the grip I need for slick trails in the Scottish Highlands. But this spring, all that changed when I stepped out for the first time in the Konos TRS Outdry shoes.
Suddenly, I was skipping up Munros and across the Alps in Columbia shoes. I took a lot of hiking trips this summer and fall, and for every one, these were the shoes I chose out of my mountain of many. I liked them so much that I gifted my cousin a pair and she’s as delighted by them as I am.
