[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was looking for a sneaker that was breathable and would dry quickly for my trip to Costa Rica. These were perfect! Waterproof shoes aren't great for climates like Costa Rica's because they make your feet hot. Instead, finding a shoe like the PFG Castback TC that could get dirty, be washed in the sink/shower, and then dry quickly, fit the bill. I normally wear a 7.5 or 8 wide, the 7.5 fit me perfectly and the shoe didn't feel tight. The only thing I'd like to see change is Columbia remove the "blood n' guts" label on the shoe physically. I understand that's a rating they give the shoe for the fact that those things can be cleaned off easily when fishing, but it's a bit weird to have actually ON the shoe itself. I'd love to see some darker color options for this shoe for women's fit!
