These are great all-around hiking boots. They're relatively lightweight but have plenty of comfortable padding and support at the ankle as well as nice aggressive tread for excellent traction/stability on the rocks and dirt. The boots are waterproof and feature Columbias Omni Heat technology, which reflects back more heat without sacrificing ventilation. CONDITIONThe boots are in excellent, barely worn condition. Check out the photos of the insole and back of the heel tread--there's little to no wear to speak of. Signs of previous use consist of one light rub mark on the leather upper of the right shoe, inside (left) toe area.
