Why We Like The Columbia Drainmaker XTR Shoe
The Columbia Drainmaker XTR Shoe is a lightweight hybrid shoe, offering the comfort of a running shoe but with the protection and performance of a water shoe. It features an Omni-Grip LT rubber outsole that's sure-footed on slick stream bottoms, along with built-in drainage ports in the midsole that allow water to instantly escape. Plus, the open cell sandwich mesh upper dries quickly when we're back on land.

Nice shoe, but...
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall a nice shoe, although it's not quite as sturdy as it appears. It's light and breathable, but structurally the upper is a little flimsy. The sole is okay but not as cushiony as it appears in photos. The faux leather is rather thin and cheap feeling but is probably because it's made to wear around water. I'm sure that once I break them in they will be fine, as I have never had a bad shoe from Columbia. Size-wise it runs a half size large.

Tried and true
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been tearing through drainmaker's for the last ten years. Literally putting them through hell hiking and fishing miles through saltwater and Ozark rivers. Each time I get a new pair they are improved from the last. Excited to see how these work they appear to have a lot tighter ankles to avoid gravel and such.

Nice and lightweight
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Nice and lightweight. Not as cushioned as they appear. I got these for a trip to Indiana Dunes, as the platform seems like it will be good for hiking in the sand. Decent laces that stay tied.
