5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent gripping water shoe -- and very comfortable
Reviewed in the United States on November 22, 2016

I bought these shoes for white water rafting. I have used them on one three-day trip down Hell's Canyon. The upper is almost a mesh-like nylon fabric that dries fairly quickly. The sole has a good tread pattern and is made of good gripping material for an excellent sole when trying to move across slick, wet rocks on river shores. I bought these shoes on the recommendation of a friend who wore a pair on a two week raft trip on the Grand Canyon. The big surprise to me has been how comfortable these shoes are. They are like wearing moccasins or socks--but with arch support and foot protection! They are probably the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. These shoes are fairly light. They seem durable, but I would like to see how well they last out on some of the long, multi-day river trips.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Choice for a Light Weight Shoe
Reviewed in the United States on September 26, 2016
Verified Purchase
I wondered about the sizing when I first looked at this shoe. I typically will wear a 9.5 shoe. My last pair of water shoes were Speedo and which were a size 10. I was tempted to get the larger size than what they recommended but decided to go with their sizing suggestion which was a 9. The shoes fit perfectly. I love them. They are light weight, and are extremely comfortable. I use them for wearing around the house and for traveling in the car on distant trips as well as when riding my bicycle. They are not designed to be used like a tennis shoe, but for casual wear I think they work great. I love the color. I don't plan on using them in the water.

4.0 out of 5 stars No drain holes in sole
Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2017
Verified Purchase
This is my second pair of Drainmaker shoes. These new ones seem to be better constructed and may hold up better than my first pair. I like the shoe strings much better than the bungee like cord in my first pair.
That being said, it was disappointing to find that there are no drain holes in the soles. They allowed the water to drain very quickly from the shoe and also allowed the shoe to dry faster.
I will wait to see how they hold up in pool water, where I wear them for water aerobics. Chemicals in the pool water treatment really deteriated the material in my first pair.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Water Shoes
Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2017
Verified Purchase
I wear a very wide shoe normally, but these are a little stretchy so my feet still felt comfortable. Much, much better than my old el-cheapo water shoes from ***-Mart. I wore these on a cruise at different ports ranging from beach to water falls to river tubing and they did great. They do tend to pick up a lot of sand and small rocks so you'll need to dump/rinse them out occasionally, but the comfort and support they offer more than make up for that. These were comfortable enough that I wore them a few times while staying on the ship during the day.

Shoe was narrow, and I have narrow feet. I was not impressed with the fit of the shoe at all, I personally don't think it would make the best water shoe. But, to be fair I did not wear it out of the house, as I returned them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great on all counts and terrains
Reviewed in the United States on March 29, 2017
Verified Purchase
I got these for a vacation trip in the mountains and rainforest and to wear in the city. Great on all counts and terrains. Fully water submergable; it has a cushioned/vented insole along with some internal water drainage system; it does not retain water. I left them in the sun for 1-2 hours and they dried up. Extremley comfortable for 3+ hour hikes.

These also have (at least for me) the right amount of arch support so I did not need my doctor prescribed insert.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Shoe for Floating, Canoeing, Wading
Reviewed in the United States on June 16, 2016
Verified Purchase
In humid weather they will take several hours to dry completely, however, I have had a pair for two years, using them for multiple canoe/float trips in Missouri. In the Smoky Mountains I have used them as trail runners once or twice when I forgot my other pair, and used them for wading shoes while fly fishing without waders (I also use them for rainy weather in the summer and water games with my student ministry). They are extremely comfortable and durable. Missouri rocks and gravel don't make a dent! I would't expect them to go on a hike with them after wading (they will remain damp for a while), but the shoe itself is comfortable enough to do it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for summer!
Reviewed in Germany on October 16, 2018

The best shoes I ever worn in summer days. I have 2 pairs, different colours, one pair I use for sailing and one as regular summer shoes. The air circulation is great, almost never too hot in them. AT the beginning they were a little uncomfortable, but after a few days they were just perfect.
The laces are however a little too thick and sometimes they untie.

die Drainmaker von Columbia sind einfach super, es ist nicht mein erstes Paar, ich trage sie immer in unserem Urlaub in Ägypten, zum schnorcheln, zum laufen, eigentlich den ganzen Tag solange ich auf den Beinen bin, da sie auch ruckzuck wieder trocken sind und selbst wenn sie noch etwas feucht sind, habe ich kein unangehmes Tragegefühl

5.0 out of 5 stars Ein Schuh für langes Laufen - sehr gute Dämpfung der Sohle - sowie ausgezeichnete Verarbeitung
Reviewed in Germany on October 3, 2017
Verified Purchase
The media could not be loaded.
 Mir wurde leider der Schuh von Amazon direkt nicht in Größe 43 wie bestellt geliefert, sondern in 42,5. Gut, aber damit konnte ich leben, da sie auch in dieser Größe passen.

Der Drainmaker ist ein wunderbar leichter Schuh, der aber trotzdem beim Tragen genügend Stabilität und Halt bietet. Die Einlegesohle kann sogar herausgenommen werden.

Neu bei diesem Schuh war für mich die Erfahrung des Belüftungssystemes. Die Luftkammern in der Laufsohle sorgen nämlich für die Belüftung des Schuhs. Dies hat aber zur Folge, dass der Drainmaker nicht wasserdicht ist. Wer also durch große Pfützen damit laufen will, kriegt schnell nasse Füsse von unten. Dies sollte man hier ausdrücklich beim Kauf vorher beachten !

Ansonsten muß ich sagen, ist dieser Schuh was die Verarbeitung betrifft ein Traum. Ich konnte die Schuhe jetzt ausführlich bei meinem Urlaub in Montreal testen. Kilometerlanges Laufen war damit ohne Probleme möglich. Die Sohle dämpft jeden Schritt weich ab. Mit einem Gewicht von nur insgesamt 600 Gramm sind beide Schuhe auch angenehm leicht. Mit der Neon-Signalfarbe ist man natürlich auch auf der Straße ein Eyecatcher. Man hat aber auch den Vorteil damit, dass man sogar Nachts damit gesehen wird.

Ich gebe deshalb dem Columbia Drainmaker volle 5 Sterne.
