  • Our take on the Columbia Transverse M

    The Columbia Transverse M is a men's waterproof hiking shoe with a leather and mesh upper, a foam EVA midsole and a rubber outsole. It is a light, flexible day-hiker at about 13 ounces, built for trails and wet weather rather than heavy loads. It sits below Columbia's stiffer technical models and competes with other budget waterproof hikers on weight and comfort. Owners like the out-of-the-box fit and the waterproofing on wet grass and light rain; the grip and long-term durability draw more mixed comments.

    Best forDay hikes and short backpacking tripsHikers who want a light shoe with little break-inWet-weather walking on grass, mud and light trailsWide-footed men who want a normal-width fit that runs roomy

    Questions and answers

    Is the Columbia Transverse M fully waterproof?
    Yes. The upper is built as a waterproof membrane shoe, so it handles rain, puddles and wet grass. It is not a rubber boot, so deep water can still get in over the collar.
    How does it fit compared with other Columbia hikers?
    It runs true to size with a normal width and a roomy toe box. Men with wide feet often stay at their usual size; those between sizes may want to size up for thicker socks.
    Is it good for long backpacking trips?
    No. The foam EVA midsole is flexible and lightly cushioned, which suits day hikes and light loads. Heavy packs and rough, rocky terrain call for a stiffer boot.
    Does it need breaking in?
    Most owners wear it comfortably on the first hike. The leather and mesh upper is soft, so a short walk before a long day is enough.
    What is the difference from Columbia's other hiking shoes?
    The Transverse M is lighter and more flexible than Columbia's stiffer technical hikers, with a simpler waterproof upper. It trades support and outsole bite for comfort and low weight.
    What is in the box?
    One pair of shoes with the factory laces. Insoles are the standard polyurethane ones fitted at the factory.
    Where is the Columbia Transverse M cheapest?
    At Zappos, for $79.99, as of our latest check.
    Where can I buy the Columbia Transverse M?
    7 stores we checked sell it, including Kohl's, Zappos, Academy Sports, Famous Footwear, Columbia.
