In April 2024, I bought a pair of Columbia outdoor shoes, but didn’t start using them until October. After just 2.5 months of light use, the upper part of the shoe developed a hard crease, and the side stitching started to come apart. Not long after, the same issue began on the other shoe as well.
I brought the shoes to the store nearly two months ago, hoping the issue would be resolved. The staff sent them in for inspection, but in February 2025 I received a disappointing response: Columbia claims the damage is not due to manufacturing or material defects.

As someone who shops with Columbia frequently, I’m extremely disappointed. It's clear even big brands like Columbia resort to small excuses to avoid taking responsibility.

I purchased a pair of Columbia shoes on May 1, 2024, with the assurance of a 2-year warranty. Due to work, I wear them only 2 hours daily and never on weekends. Despite this light use, the interior of the shoes has already started to deteriorate, even though the exterior remains in good condition. I...
I bought a pair of Columbia winter shoes for my wife at the end of last winter season, trusting the brand’s quality. Since they were purchased late in the season, they were barely worn. However, despite minimal use, the inside of the shoes started to deteriorate, showing holes and deformation. I ex...
I bought a pair of Columbia shoes, and within less than a year, the inner heel area developed tears in two separate spots. Since the shoes were still under warranty, I returned them to the store for inspection. I waited for an entire month without hearing anything, so I visited the store myself to ...
