Columbia: boots that change the world
Cold winters and damp off-seasons are not the best time for long, pleasant walks in the fresh air. And so I want not to deny myself the pleasure of leading an active lifestyle with friends, family, children! But often we are forced to stay at home for fear of hypothermia and illness. This behavior is understandable, if you do not have warm and reliable shoes in your arsenal. Boots of the world famous brand Columbia are the best option to brighten up both everyday life and holidays. They change the life of their owner - reality is divided into "before Columbia" and "after". And having tried it once, many have already been unable to refuse to continue.

Durability
Columbia boots are like a good SUV: they will go everywhere, and you will practically not feel any discomfort. Those who already own Columbia have seen how profitable and convenient it is not to buy a new pair every two seasons. Residents of large cities have to change their shoes and boots even more often - after all, salt mixtures and chemicals, which are generously poured out and poured onto the roads by utilities in bad weather, literally "corrode" the skin, rubber, rubber. Shoes will not last long in such extreme conditions. But not Columbia.

Pretty flexible. Usually the price of a pair starts from 6-8 thousand rubles, but Columbia can be purchased much cheaper. The thing is that the brand is widely represented in leading federal retail chains. And there they like to arrange generous sales and promotions. In a number of Russian cities, discounts on Columbia shoes on the eve of the new 2017 reached 60%.

Warm boots COLUMBIA BUGABOOT deserve a separate discussion. They are perfect for damp climates, because a special rubber overshoe reliably protects from getting wet. At the same time, it does not look like a galosh in the usual sense, but looks like an elegant part of a high sole.

Materials and technologies
The most important thing in Columbia boots is quality. These are not the most budget-friendly pairs, but they are definitely worth it. All materials are natural and environmentally friendly. Fittings and locks are solid and reliable. The latter, by the way, are equipped with protection against snow getting inside the shoe. The boots are warm, but they do not interfere with the normal thermoregulation of the foot. In other words, their feet do not sweat and do not get wet, no matter how inclement the weather outside the window. This is achieved through a water-repellent coating on the outside and special "smart" membranes on the inside.

For the harsh climate and delicate legs, Columbia has done the impossible: what was previously considered a fiction of science fiction writers has become a reality - this is how heated boots appeared. A capacious lithium battery will allow you to walk comfortably, without fuss and haste, anywhere in the Far North for up to 8 hours without worrying about the condition of your shoes - they are wear-resistant and will last for a single season.
In winter models, a modern insulation is used - tinusleit. It is evenly distributed over the entire inner part of the shoe and warms both the toes and the ankle equally well. Omni-Heat withstands extremely cold temperatures and retains heat effectively.

In order to keep the feet in Columbia not only dry, but also healthy, the manufacturers took care of the availability of an orthopedic shoe that "adjusts" to the peculiarities of your foot, fixes it, cushions and supports it. This is especially true for connoisseurs of an active lifestyle, for those who spend a lot of time on the street, go in for sports in the open air, walk with children, and walk a lot.
In winter, it is important that the boots do not slip. Omni-Grip technology is used in all Columbia models.Different rubber densities and intricate tread patterns work together to provide excellent traction, so you won't hit the dirt on your face in any weather.
Columbia can rightfully be called a revolutionary in the footwear industry because of its exceptional technology. Their names at least once, but everyone has heard.

TECHLITE ensures the health of the foot by creating soles and insoles. The sole stoically absorbs impacts, bumps in the road and loads, and protects the foot. The insoles do not absorb odors, which is important for winter shoes. In addition, they are impregnated with an antimicrobial composition, which excludes the occurrence and development of fungus and other unpleasant foot diseases.

OMNI-GRIP stands for security. The technology involves an incredible combination of several types of rubber in the production of shoe soles. The multi-directional tread, coupled with a reasonable selection of materials, makes the shoe non-slip, even on ice.

All of this is the result of decades of trial and error at the company (and it has been in business since 1937). Over time, it was Columbia's own technologies that made its products one of the leaders in the sports footwear market, and now not only in sports shoes. In 1994, Columbia became the official sponsor of the Olympics in Lillihammer. At the Sochi Games, the company designed clothing and footwear for freestyle skiers for the Russian national team, as well as for American and Canadian athletes. The fact that it has been tested in the extreme conditions of professional sports can hardly be doubted.

Reviews
There are brands that don't need much introduction, and Columbia is just such a case. Numerous reviews of Columbia boots on the Internet are mostly positive. It is noteworthy that ordinary buyers who do not know the intricacies of shoe production know the names of the "branded chips" of the manufacturer: OMNI-HEAT, OMNI-TECH and so on. And they are happy to decipher these concepts, describing their impressions of the waterproof and non-slip soles. Columbia boots are popular among women with an active lifestyle, young mothers, athletes who are keen on tourism and auto travel.

Older women report that boots fit well with a wide instep and are comfortable to walk with for some types of lower limb ailments. For example, the orthopedic last and the gentle Columbia sole relieve discomfort from heel spurs, chondrosis of the toes, and ingrown toenails. Walking with such diagnoses sometimes becomes an unbearable ordeal for people. Columbia boots partially solve this problem.

Of the shortcomings, only the relatively high price is emphasized, but this, rather, concerns those who have not experienced the effect of the flexible pricing policy mentioned above.
Often, the owners of such shoes do not hesitate to admit that they are lazy - they hardly take care of their "runners", but the boots retain their appearance for a long time, do not stick or tear, warm and delight their owners.

What to wear with?
Columbia boots should be worn with optimism and pleasure. This is the main thing. The rest is up to you. Sports equipment and casual clothing will look good with such shoes. These shoes are universal, and therefore it is easier to answer the question of what Columbia should not be worn with: classic formal suits, evening dresses and romantic Provence style outfits. Everything else is at your discretion. You can safely combine boots with down jackets, insulated jackets of any length.

Scarves are welcome, and here you can show imagination and supplement the lack of bright colors in shoes with your own vision of life. The scarf can be of any, even the most incredible, color, of different lengths. All kinds of hats are also suitable - fur, leather, knitted. With and without pom-poms.

The main thing is not to deny yourself anything, because in winter there are so many interesting things outside the doorstep of the apartment! Go to the snowy forest, make snowmen or play with children in a snow fight, walk, travel, conquer your own peaks. Such moments make our life rich and complete.
