How customer reviews and ratings work

Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings, help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyses reviews to verify trustworthiness.

5.0 out of 5 starsExact fit, Comfortable, value for money
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 February 2021
Bought these for my hubby to replace his merrells. Due to lockdown and limited options to shop, I decided to try amazon. After reading through a load of reviews we decided on these. He is a size 7 so bought a 7 and they fit exactly. However, if you wear socks with your sandals (and I'm not judging) you may need a size bigger. He says they are comfortable, nicely cushioned, and fit well. The strap over the front of the foot is a little bit narrower than he's used to, on other brands there is usually a neoprene layer beneath it, but these have the adjustable strap only, but, so far, it isn't an issue with the functionality or comfort of the sandal. The insole is material rather than rubber, which he thinks so far is a positive thing, especially if his feet get wet from rain ect, then he won't have that squelchy slippage within the sandal itself. The sole is a nice sticky grippy rubber. We don't do any extreme trekking or fell walking anymore, so these will be used on holidays, in the sun, walking along proms, beaches, general mooching and exploring our surroundings. I think these will do nicely for what he needs. Good value for money.

1.0 out of 5 starsUnwearable and a complete waste of money - not deserving of any stars
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 August 2020
I bought these sandals to replace a pair of Columbia sandals I had worn for around 10 years and found to be very comfortable; these looked similar but they are simply not fit for purpose. I am a UK size 10.5 normally and these are a size 11 (like my previous pair) Length and width are fine and so is the adjustable rear strap but the two top fastening straps are hopelessly too short so neither fasten properly or provide a comfortable fit. I do not have excessively large feet and it is clear from the positioning of the Columbia logo and velcro that both straps have been made far to short - presumably either down to saving money or materials or poor design. My worst shoe purchase ever. I expected better from Columbia.

5.0 out of 5 stars Replacement for an old Columbia
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 January 2022
Colour Name: Cordovan Dark BananaSize Name: 8 UKVerified Purchase
After using a pair of Columbia Wanoka for over 10 years, it was time to move on.
The old model is discontinued and the Santiam was the closest match, so out with the old, in with the new...

The first impression was that it was different... Not better or worse, just a different way of holding the feet. The old model had a recess for the heel, while the Santiam is more flat and the edge of the sandals keep the feet firmly in place.

Otherwise it is the same level of comfort. Both are size 8 (UK), so if you switch from an old pair of Columbia, you don't need to worry whether it's going to fit.

5.0 out of 5 stars VERY comfortable
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 July 2020
Colour Name: Cordovan Dark BananaSize Name: 12 UKVerified Purchase
I hike rough and rocky trails in boots. For everything else in dry weather I use sandals. They need to be comfortable, tough, and with good non-slip soles. If they look good, so much the better. Over the years I've worn Merrells, Tevas, and Karrimors, and I think these might just be the best I've ever worn.
NOTE: I have long but narrow and shallow feet and I tried on numerous pairs from other brands before settling on these Columbias. They were the ONLY ONES that enabled me to tighten the main strap sufficiently.
I've had them for a month now and hiked maybe 40 miles. I can't fault them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent product that’s not been messed about with
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 May 2018
Colour Name: Black Mountain RedSize Name: 10 UKVerified Purchase
I wanted sandals to replace the excellent pair I bought 10 years ago. These have an identical sole to what I had before, which is ideal for grip, including in and out of water. They are comfortably contoured to the foot, and though only 2 rather than 3 straps, the side strap renders them just as stable. I am very pleased to see they’ve not messed up what was an already first rate product.

How did my old pair last the pace? They were only used about 3 weeks a year in holidays, but the soles stood up great. The tip of the soles were starting to come away (but could easily have been reglued) and the padding had compacted somewhat. But that’s not bad over a decade, used mainly for fell walking.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Sandal
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 July 2022
Colour Name: Cordovan Dark BananaSize Name: 7 UKVerified Purchase
Great sandal I can see lasting ages. Really comfortable. I’m a 7.5UK. Got a 7 and an 8 and 7 was perfect. Only downside was strap closest to toes could be longer. Was a bit short and shows Velcro. Otherwise no complaints.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good arch support
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 July 2019
Colour Name: Cordovan Dark BananaSize Name: 10 UKVerified Purchase
Lighter than the previous Ventmeister, possibly because of less material and a thinner sole. Comfortable although one foot took a little breaking in. All walks have been less than 5 miles so far. Bought because of the arch support which is very important doe to plantar fasciitis. My previous pair lasted 20 years so I am looking for a long life from these.

5.0 out of 5 stars built to last
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 June 2020
Colour Name: Cordovan Dark BananaSize Name: 8 UKVerified Purchase
just what I was looking for to replace a similar pair bought ages ago and mislaid on holiday. The same very flexible sole, non-slip cushioning, strong suede straps, and the sizing was exact to the millimetre with the chart on the product page, and the label inside the sandal. Made in Vietnam and good value for money.

These are very well made and extremely comfortable. This is the third pair I have bought over the years. They are very hard wearing and look good.
