In situations like that, we usually turn to buying clothes and shoes from brands that guarantee a selection of quality-made clothes and summer shoes, sandals or any other summer footwear.

Let’s begin by saying that you can spend your summer in a variety of shoes in different colour shades:

• Flip flops or sliders
• Suede, leather, canvas or woven loafer shoes
• Ankle strap sandals
• Pointy or square toe high heels (because what’s better than a good summer party?)
• Summer boots

Now, what summer shoes women choose depends on the occasion. Let’s say you’re planning on doing a lot of hiking this summer. You’ll need a pair of shoes that are comfortable, light and durable. Hiking can mean hitting some rough trails and different terrains, from slippery wet dirt to rocks and grass. Here at Columbia, we’ve got you covered in terms of every single thing we’ve just mentioned. Let’s start with the terrain.

The technologies we use in making summer shoes for the season

Among our sandals, sneakers, slippers and sliders, you’ll find that they all have something in common: the way the sole is designed. In creating all of our items, clothing and footwear, we use science and researches to back us up. That’s why a team of experts is continuously working on developing, adapting, and implementing multiple different technologies to optimise our clothes and shoes for maximum protection and comfort.

When it comes to our women’s summer shoes, we have developed a special branch of technology we call Traction Technologies. Our soles are made with two of these technologies: Adapt-Trax Traction Technology, and Omni-Grip™ Traction Technology.

Adapt-Trax focuses on better grip and better traction. Shoes with this technology help you in overcoming different terrains, especially wet and slippery ones. They also offer an enhanced trail performance due to the special tread pattern at the bottom.

Omni-Grip™ is the choice for multiple terrains, like the name suggests. Wet or dry, rock, gravel or dirt—These shoes will keep you safe and your hike will be easy no matter where you go. With the enhanced stability and grip, worrying about slipping is a thing of the past.

How to choose your ideal summer shoe

With every single piece in our selection, we want you to be able to follow the latest fashion trend while still stay true to your unique style. Most importantly, we want you to have good footwear.

So, when you’re picking out the ideal pair from your wish list, think about where you’ll be wearing the shoes this summer.

Sure, if you’re hiking, you need stable footwear, but what makes our summer shoes so great is the fact that it’s easy to take them from the trail to a beach bar or dinner.

Try pairing them with some jeans and a light shirt for a smart yet casual look. They go great with dresses, T-shirts, leggings, and essentially every piece you have in your wardrobe.

Forget about buying a new pair of shoes for every activity you have planned for the summer. At Columbia, we make summer shoes women will wear from the office to the beach. They come in stylish colour options, so you can find one that fits your style.
