About Columbia Sportswear
Founded in 1938, Columbia Sportswear Company has grown from a small family-owned hat distributor to one of the world's largest outerwear brands and the leading seller of skiwear in the United States. Columbia's extensive product line includes a wide variety of outerwear, sportswear, rugged footwear and accessories. Columbia specializes in developing innovative products that are functional yet stylish and offer great value. Eighty-year-old matriarch Gert Boyle, Chairman of the Board, and her son, Tim Boyle, President and CEO, lead the company. Columbia's history starts with Gert's parents, Paul and Marie Lamfrom, when they fled Germany in 1937. They bought a small hat distributorship in Portland, Oregon, and named it Columbia Hat Company, after the river bordering the city. Soon frustrated by poor deliveries from suppliers, the Lamfroms decided to start manufacturing products themselves. In 1948, Gert married college sweetheart Neal Boyle, who joined the family business and later took the helm of the growing company. When Neal suddenly died of a heart attack in 1970, Gert enlisted help from Tim, then a college senior. After that it wasn't long before business really started to take off. Columbia was one of the first companies to make jackets from waterproof/breathable fabric. They introduced the breakthrough technology called the Columbia Interchange System, in which a shell and liner combine for multiple wearing options. In the early 1980s, then 60 year-old Gert began her role as "Mother Boyle" in Columbia's successful and popular advertising campaign. In 1998 the company went public, and moved into a new era as a world leader in the active outdoor apparel industry. Today, Columbia Sportswear employs more than 1,800 people around the world and distributes and sells products in more than 50 countries and to more than 12,000 retailers internationally.

Review #1
At par with Columbia standards
If you've used this brand before, this is not a bad choice. Nothing outstanding but worth every buck. Review #2
Good Pair for Light Hiking
I bought this pair for it's price, style and brand...did not want to shell out $90 bucks for a pair of Merrell. It is a very comfortable pair of shoes with sure-footed lug soles and protects feet in the Western Mass Berkshire trails. I this pair suggest without any reservation to someone who is looking for style and value. Only one negative so far....the lace keeps coming loose....may be its my personal preference to tie them little loose. Review #3
Another Good Columbia Shoe
I purchased this shoe to replace the Columbia's I had before and am very pleased. Good comfort fit for my feet. All feet are different but you tend to find certain manufacturer's seem to consistently work for you. If you've had Columbia's shoes before, you probably know what it will feel like on your foot. Good experience purchasing and wearing the shoe. Nice to avoid having to go to the store. Review #4
