Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Slip into the Switchback™ for low-profile support that looks as good on the street as it does on the singletrack. Columbia's revolutionary new Techlite® heel moves dense stabilizing elements to the outside (putting softer material directly against your foot) to provide a cushioned and conforming fit to alleviate pain and irritation where trail runners told us they felt it most. Omni-Grip® traction on the rubber sole grips rocks, dirt, mud and just about anything else you encounter on off-road adventures. Breathable mesh and a soft material in the flex zones mean superior comfort with great agility and ease of movement. The gusseted tongue keeps out rocks, sticks, and dirt while light, sinewy overlays offer additional protection without adding unnecessary bulk.

Product Description

The Columbia Switchback sneakers are great for on or off road adventures.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Shoes!, October 25, 2010
This review is from: Columbia Sportswear Men's Switchback Hiking Shoe (Apparel)
After much online shopping I opted for these shoes. To me buying some items online, such as shoes, is an extreme gamble and a potential waste of time if you have to send them back. No worries with this purchase. What an awesome pair of shoes! They fit great and have a sturdy / durable construction. Super light weight and very, very comfortable with great sole cushioning. Extremely happy with this purchase.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Value and Comfortable, February 5, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Columbia Sportswear Men's Switchback Hiking Shoe (Apparel)
These run a tiny bit bigger than my other Columbia shoes, which, in general, I find to run a bit small (if that makes sense). I usually wear an 8.5, but in Columbia, I wear a 9. These shoes are ultra-light and very comfortable, Have not worn them extensively yet, so I don't know how they will wear, but I don't anticipate any problems (taking to Europe next month...so we'll see what happens!). The only "issue" (if you can call it that) is the tab on the tongues is very stiff, and if you wear short socks and pants, will rub the front of your lower leg...but I am sure this will soften over time. Doesn't change my opinion of the shoe at all.

Trying helped us put little silver dots on the inside of jackets, made shirts that… Read the story & more in Amazon's Columbia Store.
