One of the biggest problems hikers face, whether they’re a man or a woman, is picking out the perfect pair of hiking shoes. There’s just so much to consider that it’s no wonder it can puzzle you whenever you’re preparing for new adventures and looking for a new pair of trekking footwear.

Columbia has a fantastic range of men’s hiking shoes to suit just about any kind of terrain or weather you can encounter on this wild planet of ours. Whether you’re planning on conquering Ben Nevis with a pair of our sturdy all-terrain shoes or need a more relaxed pair of hiking sandals for men for a stroll in rural Switzerland, we’ve got just what you’re looking for.

Our deep passion for hiking has translated into our extensive range of shoes for men whether you prefer a low hiking shoe that sits below the ankle, long hiking boots for superior levels of stability, or hiking sandals for less rigorous climbs.

The type of hiking you enjoy will direct your choice of hiking shoe. Mountain hiking requires an outsole that grips all kinds of terrain from the rockiest paths to shingle that slides underfoot. When you walk on rough ground off the beaten track your hiking soles need to be able to deliver excellent levels of traction so you don’t slip.

The same is true for our range of waterproof hiking shoes which will keep you upright and dry in even the most inclement weather. The waterproof shoes for men in our collection are available in a selection of styles to suit both the climb ahead and your wardrobe too. We even have some fantastic kids waterproof shoes to keep them smiling from start to finish.

You don’t always have to choose hiking shoes for your outdoor adventures. Men’s walking shoes have a different style altogether to provide high levels of comfort as well as superior style. Choose from a range of outer materials like suede or leather to suit your look and match the rest of your outdoor clothing.

These days there are so many brands offering light hiking shoes and boots that it can be difficult to know exactly which ones are right for you. Luckily, here at Columbia we’re the experts in hiking and our wide selection of boots reflect this.

From the innovative cushioning technology of our Omni-MAX™ and TECHLITE™ shoes to the OMNI-Grip™ outsoles for maximum traction, you can be sure that your pair of Columbia hiking boots are always ready for adventure.

When it comes to buying the right shoes and boots for the colder months, our winter shoes can cope with the rain, sleet, snow and any other kind of poor weather, British or otherwise. This is thanks to an interior moisture-wicking mesh which retains the heat to keep your feet toasty coupled with an exterior layer which repels moisture.

We have low, mid and high cut options of men’s leather hiking boots to suit all tastes, and our women's hiking boots and hiking sandals for women are available in pinks, purples, greys, blues and greens.

For every kind of activity you love we have the clothing to make it even more memorable. Whether you need the traction to walk in snow and ice on the way to go snowboarding or love to go casual climbing, we’ve got the pair for you.

Men of all ages, interests and abilities choose Columbia™ footwear for their hikes and walks in nature thanks to the quality of the materials and innovative design features in every shoe, boot and sandal. It doesn’t matter whether you enjoy light strolls in urban environments or aren’t satisfied until you’re at the top of a mountain with breath-taking views, you can trust our brand to deliver from street to summit.

We always have lots of items in our clearance section too including wide shoes for men, hiking socks, hiking jackets, hiking clothes for women and children.
