About this product
The Columbia Escape Thrive Ultra Women's Hiking Trail Running Shoe in size 8.5 offers waterproof protection for activewear across all seasons. Featuring a lace-up closure and an almond toe shape, this shoe is designed with a synthetic upper and a rubber outsole for durability and grip on various terrains. The mid-calf shoe shaft style and block heel, with a mid-height of 2-2.9 inches, provide additional support and a distinct profile. Its lining and insole are made from fabric for comfort.
Our take
These Columbia Escape Thrive Ultra shoes are clearly built for robust outdoor performance. The waterproof feature is fantastic for maintaining comfort in wet conditions, making them a year-round option for hiking and trail running. I like the lace-up closure for a customizable and secure fit, and the rubber outsole suggests good traction. However, the mid-calf shoe shaft style might feel a bit high for a 'trail running shoe' for some users, potentially limiting ankle mobility compared to lower-cut alternatives. The synthetic upper contributes to the waterproof quality, though some prefer natural materials.
