Product Description

Product Description

Wear it as a sandal, wear it as a slide. This shoe tops our list of why-didn't-they-think-of-this-sooner footwear innovations. Perfect for all your summer adventures (wet or dry), this sandal features a quick-drying synthetic nubuck upper with mesh lining and two adjustable velcro straps. The textured footbed is designed to let water channel out of the shoe, and the sticky rubber outsole will take you over rocks, through streams, and anywhere you want to go. Best of all, the backstrap, which offers great support for walking and hiking, can be removed, converting this sandal to a casual slide. Slip the back strap into the center loops across the footbed, and it acts as a third strap, providing mid-foot support. Columbia products are engineered using the best technologies and highest quality materials, providing you with innovative products that are functional yet stylish and a great value.

About Columbia Sportswear
Founded in 1938, Columbia Sportswear Company has grown from a small family-owned hat distributor to one of the world's largest outerwear brands and the leading seller of skiwear in the United States. Columbia's extensive product line includes a wide variety of outerwear, sportswear, rugged footwear and accessories. Columbia specializes in developing innovative products that are functional yet stylish and offer great value. Eighty-year-old matriarch Gert Boyle, Chairman of the Board, and her son, Tim Boyle, President and CEO, lead the company. Columbia's history starts with Gert's parents, Paul and Marie Lamfrom, when they fled Germany in 1937. They bought a small hat distributorship in Portland, Oregon, and named it Columbia Hat Company, after the river bordering the city. Soon frustrated by poor deliveries from suppliers, the Lamfroms decided to start manufacturing products themselves. In 1948, Gert married college sweetheart Neal Boyle, who joined the family business and later took the helm of the growing company. When Neal suddenly died of a heart attack in 1970, Gert enlisted help from Tim, then a college senior. After that it wasn't long before business really started to take off. Columbia was one of the first companies to make jackets from waterproof/breathable fabric. They introduced the breakthrough technology called the Columbia Interchange System, in which a shell and liner combine for multiple wearing options. In the early 1980s, then 60 year-old Gert began her role as "Mother Boyle" in Columbia's successful and popular advertising campaign. In 1998 the company went public, and moved into a new era as a world leader in the active outdoor apparel industry. Today, Columbia Sportswear employs more than 1,800 people around the world and distributes and sells products in more than 50 countries and to more than 12,000 retailers internationally.

Functional sandals, good in the water. Arch strap caused unnecessary rubbing on the arch. Durable material and respectable looking.
