Outdoor brand Columbia has been growing in my estimation with every product I\u2019ve tried.<\/p>\n

Despite being quite reasonably priced, everything I try is high-quality and built to last.<\/p>\n

The first thing I ever tested was the Columbia Konos TRS<\/a> shoe, which features in my guide to the best walking shoes<\/a> as my best pick for those on a budget.<\/p>\n

The price is already a reasonable $100, but you can now get yourself a pair for under $60 at Amazon.<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It should be obvious to anyone looking at my walking shoe guide that I am fussy about footwear.<\/p>\n

I demand comfort, cushioning and durability from my walking shoes and if they don’t meet my standards, I won’t recommend them.<\/p>\n

The Columbia Konos exceeded my expectations in every way. For the price, I expected cheap materials, thin soles and no bounce underfoot whatsoever.<\/p>\n

Instead, I found it to be comfortable, well-cushioned and to have surprisingly high energy return for what is technically a trail shoe.<\/p>\n

I wear my Konos everywhere. It is comfortable enough for city stomps and with enough grip for a light trail walk over uneven terrain.<\/p>\n

If you’re looking for a sneaker that really can do anything, look no further.<\/p>\n
