The shoes are comfortable, though it's still too early to judge their durability. However, I noticed two drawbacks: round laces that come undone easily and poor ventilation. After a few days of wearing them for several hours daily, even at moderate temperatures (around 20 degrees), they start to smell unpleasant, as if they were much older than two weeks.

Columbia Fairbanks II Mid Waterproof Boots - Deep Olive/Desert Sun
Trekking boots equipped with Omni-Tech waterproof membrane. They are made from a combination of damage-resistant synthetic fabric and high-quality suede.
Omni-Tech membrane, waterproofing, Omni-Grip sole
The modern Omni-Tech microporous membrane provides breathability of 10000 g/m2 and waterproofness of 10000 mm/m2. Thanks to its properties, it protects the feet from getting wet, and at the same time is responsible for a high level of air circulation.
Stable movement on the terrain is guaranteed by a flexible and abrasion-resistant Omni-Grip sole made of durable rubber. It provides excellent cushioning, while its non-slip texture and deep tread are responsible for very good grip, even on wet or slippery surfaces.
Techlite midsole, reinforced tip
The boots are equipped with a Techlite midsole made of resilient foam, which provides maximum support to the foot and stabilizes it perfectly, which translates into increased comfort when walking. The reinforced tip effectively protects the toes from impact.
A lace-based fastening system allows the boots to fit precisely, while a small loop at the back of the upper makes them easy to put on and take off.

I am really satisfied with the purchase. The shoes seem very durable, and the materials used are of high quality. They are very comfortable to walk in. Size 43 is accurate and meets expectations.
-
The shoes seem durable and comfortable. However, as someone mentioned earlier, the sizing appears to be underestimated because, for example, size 44.5 has a length of 29.5 cm, while the website lists it as 28.2-28.4 cm. In practice, 44.5 actually corresponds to size 45.5 in brands like Nike.

The shoes performed well both during summer hikes in the mountains and in the city during autumn and winter. They are practical and suitable for many uses. Stand out for their comfort and durability. Made very solidly from high-quality natural leather. My son is very satisfied. If they wear out and the model is still available, I will gladly buy them again. Highly recommended – definitely worth it.

The shoes look good and seem solidly made. I hope they perform well during use. Be cautious with the size chart given in centimetres on the website – in my opinion, the values are underestimated. The size on the shoe label differs from the one in the chart. It's better to choose a size without relying on the foot lengths from the chart provided on the site.

I am very satisfied with my purchase. The shoes look elegant, not overly like trekking shoes, so they also go great with jeans for urban outfits. They are lightweight, provide good cushioning when walking on uneven terrain, and the sole offers excellent grip. The size given by the manufacturer (45) is accurate. Thanks to the laces, you can also adjust them to slightly wider feet. I think the price-to-quality ratio is excellent. I sincerely recommend them.

Columbia Woodburn II Low Waterproof - Cordovan/Cinnamon shoes were delivered to me lightning fast and are extremely comfortable. Their colouring matches what is shown in the pictures. Instead of size 41 (foot length 26 cm), I chose size 42 and it was a great choice.
-
The shoes are excellently made and do not slip, even on wet surfaces. I tested them on rocky mountain trails both while going up and down. Perfect for autumn and winter – above 15 degrees they become too warm. Very comfortable and well-shaped. Highly recommended.
-
The shoes look good and, in my opinion, are suitable for temperatures between +6 and +15 degrees. The sole is hard and durable, suitable for light terrain and everyday use. Downsides: the leather on the sides cracks quite quickly where the shoe bends; the sole can be slippery on wet surfaces; and the water resistance only reaches the start of the tongue.
-
Fantastic shoes, a bit in a casual style, they even performed well in slushy mud – feet stayed dry and did not get cold at zero temperatures. Solid construction, especially recommended for people with wider feet. The order was fulfilled instantly – ordered on Friday evening and collected from the parcel locker already on Saturday morning. I am impressed with the delivery speed. Well done, Militaria!

I chose these shoes because I really liked them. Their functionality works great in autumn. I've already had the chance to try them out in the rain and they performed excellently. Before the first use, I sprayed them with Coccine impregnation spray, also bought from militaria.pl. I am very satisfied with my purchase.
