Columbia Clothing And Shoes Fan Site

I’m going hiking with some friends. We’ll be hiking in the woods, mostly along paths, for about 10 hours. I don’t know what type of shoes to get. I’ve been searching on the internet and have found that Columbia is a good brand. Would the following type of shoes be okay:

Any input would help. Thanks!
I’m concerned about my heels hurting because my heels have hurt from doing a lot of walking in the past.

Yes, those look like they’d be fine. You should walk around in them a lot before you go hiking so they can adapt to the shape of your foot. Be sure to wear good socks too

i really want these shoes but know one sells them in my size any more.

I saw a guy with some dickies shoes (sneakers) and i wanted to know where he got them. He also had a pair of Vans (not the slips ons) and a Columbia Titanium jacket. I checked some sites and I’m pretty sure he got the shoes for pretty cheap (under $40). Maybe he got the shoes and clothing from the same store? I also live in San Francisco.

Payless?

I have some criteria so that hopefully I won’t have to bring more than one pair of shoes. I’m looking for sandals that are:
- rugged -can be used for beach, kayaking, or trails (so must have good traction)
- but are still ‘pretty’ enough to wear with a sundress for lazy days
- have a contoured footbed, with arch and the little ridge that goes under your toes
- is lightweight (for example, I compared a Merrel to a Columbia, and the soles on Columbia are a lot heavier.)
- must be the kind of sandal that has straps over your toes, and in back AND front of your ankle (like how most Tevas are.)

I used to wear Nike ACG sandals but they do not make nice ones anymore.

sketchers and crocs have some sandals that are super comfy! i’m not sure about how tough and dependable they are…i would assume they are pretty good i love my crocs! and my sister-in-law wears hers camping all the time. hope that helps

I am moving from Ontario to British Columbia for 6 months in Feb. I want to ship over large boxes of clothes/shoes/etc and one or two large tvs. How would I go about doing this? And how much would it cost?

Thanks!

You can ship them by rail, you can ship them by bus, you can send them by Canada Post or you can send them by FedEx. Wherever you are in Ontario, phone one of the transportation companies and find out what they offer. How much they charge depends on the weight and/or volume of the itemess to be shipped.

So far the protestors are being very civil, totally different than what you’d have if the situation was reversed (e.g., George Bush or Dick Cheney getting an honorary degree from Columbia University).

They’re telegraphing how they will protest, arranging for police to be there to arrest them, or they are boycotting the event so that nothing bad happens to disrupt it. (Yeah, the right is pretty stupid when it comes to protesting.)

But I wonder if hundreds of protestors with balls actually attended their graduation and then, at various times during the president’s speech, took off their shoes and winged it up towards the podium. They’d definitely get arrested — which some were planning to do anyway in a more "civilized" manner — but they’d be actually protesting in a way that would make headlines.

You can be da** sure if it was Bush getting a degree from Columbia that there would have been shoes flying up there in the thousands!

I guess people on the right are just too civil.

But I think it would be funny to see the media double-standard in action, because suddenly such an act — which they praised in the case of the Iraqi press guy — would be deemed unacceptable and rude. Anyway, I think it would be funny to see.

Not that I’m encouraging that! (I’m not.)

And I also doubt it would happen anyway. Like I said, the right doesn’t know how to protest like the left does. They’re way too "civilized" to do something like that, and when it comes down to it, they DO have respect for the office of the president, no matter who occupies it.

My question is more about the media reaction, IF something like that was to happen.

Do you think the media would have the totally predictable response?

They would cry for their immediate deportation……………especially if they are American citizens……

P.S. they are Already arresting Protesters there who oppose his being there……….

you wont see any gay , or professional protesters being arrested…….
That’s the New standard….its called a hate crimes legislation….
Every thing that is termed Christian …are deemed haters…
while as true haters (gays ,abortion activists , professional activists hired by the ACLU etc etc ) will be allowed to do whatever they wish and the authorities will look the other way !!!

I have a pair of Surft Tide Columbia sandals that always make my feet stink after wearing them. None of my other shoes do this and my feet don’t stink on their own so I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s the sandal. Any tips on what to clean them with or kill the germs with?

Give them a good wash i just hand wash with a bit of dawn
mine do the same thing

ok where do you git hot shoes for like high top and flats and nike’s all that i live in columbia and i can not find hot shoes tell where can i find shoes

I dont "git" shoes anywhere. I GET shoes from Payless and DSW. They have awesome styles and they arent too expensive.

And i already know sterling has cheap ones when its back to school time and i already know west49 ( but west 49 ones are super expensive, like $59.99-$140 i think ) But i really want ‘em, because boxing day is on saturday and stuff and i have like overgrown shoes and stuff… Plz Help?!

i get my vans, nikes and winter boots there. im not sure if they have dc shoes but its worth a look. btw everything is like 20-80 percent off. also try overstock.com and amazon.com

I’ve been looking everywhere to buy 310 Motoring hurricane II shoes white/gold in Vancouver or Surrey, British Columbia. I only found them online but I don’t have credit card so if you know any store that sells them please tell me about, I would appreciate it. I tried foot locker, champs but nothing.
thank you

you could look on ebay for someone who would accept a postal order, cheque, cash etc as many sellers accept more than just paypal. if you cant find anything you could try posting a ‘want it now’, youll get any responses emailed to you. it’s free so youll have nothing to lose. good luck : )
