I had ordered this Columbia winter boat and the Timberland Mountain Chill FTW_EK Sport WP boat 8411R. Both shoes I liked from the exterior. I had decided on these two brands because they were recommended, inter alia as a winter boot for snowshoeing. The Columbia has compared to Timberland Mountain Chill a wider forefoot and the heel, it is next to the chill mountain somewhat coarser Therefore, however you can find at other Winter Boots still much coarser, I feel pers. As bulky and inflexible. Who has value to a dainty-looking boots, can choose the chill mountain, I find him in comparison with other really "delicate". The pelts coming winter therefore. The Columbia looks like alljahreszeitlich. Also, I find him pers. Juvenile / sportive. For size I can still say that I have normal foot width and 38 carry. I have chosen for the two boots ever size 39 and had enough space in two. Since I could not wear a pair of socks to the usual traveling sports socks. After a long march, I had pleasant warm feet, not overheated - even though I do not know this state;) - The Round grandchildren of Columbia had since then eased slowly after 3 hours. March, although it held, but flat laces simply bind better. You knew that! Minor matter: because the things you can replace, wenns really depended on it. The sole is grippy in both. It surprised me that the Columbia was so clean after the mud walk, also the profile has gone wonderfully clean. Coincidence? The shoes will soon be tested when snowshoeing on water tightness. I'm strong on the assumption that there are no objections. If so, then I take that again. The Columbia is slightly lower in the stem height. That to me is one of the reasons for selecting a snowshoe boot, since I am having a higher shaft slightly narrowed feel (personal feeling). For price I can only say that I am well served for both shoes of this equipment amounts below 100 euros.
