Mine are very durable, good for climbing and feel great, l am just curious.

l own Columbia hikers, and ridge runners which are in my opinion very comfortable and durable footwear.

But I've never seen a pair of Columbia climbing shoes.

We might be talking about the same thing, or not. When l think of climbing shoes l am thinking of the following descriptives; soft grippy soles, flexible midsole, covered/grippy toe box.

Columbia makes hiking boots, walking shoes and winter boots, but not actual rock climbing shoes. Climbing shoes are very tight fitting shoes (usually leather) with sticky rubber soles with no cleats or grooves.

My favorite brand of climbing shoes is La Sportiva - you can find other brands here:
