My last pair prior to the Montrail buyout were wonderful. Since I liked them so much, I bought another pair about 9 or so months ago. Boy was that a mistake. No matter what I did (lube, chance socks, lacing, etc) I could not wear them without getting blisters on my heels. This usually happened within a few miles of hiking/running. They TORE up my heels really bad out in the Tetons and again about a week later in the Wind River Wilderness area SE of Jackson Hole. After getting back from WY I wore them again a few times and nothing changed. I've since made them my gym shoes (weights, etc). Simply put, Columbia f'ed up a good shoe.

Loving my Cascadias, and wanting to try version 3... no idea how they'd do for 100+ miles, though they're great for 20.
