The Columbia Expeditionist Shield II Waterproof shoes are very stylish and durable. However, keep in mind that the sizing runs small – it's better to order two sizes up. My husband usually wears size 40, but even size 41 turned out to be too small. I kept the shoes for myself because I wear size 39.

DWR (Durable Water Repellency) is a durable waterproofing treatment that increases the surface tension of water and creates a hydrophobic coating on materials. It protects the material from rapid soaking, improves drying, provides stain resistance and increases breathability.
Omni-Heat is a type of technology based on a specialized garment finish that helps maintain optimal thermal regulation and enables efficient moisture wicking. It is applied to the lining of the garment in the form of a matrix made of 35% aluminum dots that reflect the heat generated by the body and 65% breathable fabric.
Omni-Tech is a technology that relies on a microporous, breathable membrane to provide water resistance of 10000 mm/m2 and DWR-coated sealed seams. Efficient wicking of moisture to the outside keeps you feeling dry and comfortable.
Adapt Trax is a type of outsole equipped with an advanced wet and dry traction system. It provides adequate grip and stability in difficult conditions.
Techlite+ is a technology used in the shoe's sole, which is based on a durable, shock-absorbing material produced with eco-friendly standards (including recycled materials). It provides very good cushioning, stability and adequate support for the foot. The closed-cell design provides antibacterial properties and odor resistance.

Great shoes, definitely worth recommending, they work well on cold days. They grip the surface well, are lightweight – almost unnoticeable on the feet. The sole is soft.
