Trudging through ankle-deep mud in the woods and skirting cloudy puddles on city streets is enough to ruin most of our shoes, which is why we wear the Columbia Moritza Shield Boot when wet weather comes blowing in. The uppers combine water-resistant Omni-SHIELD technology with waterproof leather so we can walk straight through pools of water without breaking stride. The Techlite midsoles cushion our feet and offer high energy return to send us bounding down wet trails or soaked sidewalks, and the Omni-Grip soles provide excellent traction no matter the terrain.
