Columbia Bugaboot III Hiking Boot - Men's

Bugaboot III Hiking Boot delivers rugged waterproof protection with reliable warmth and grip

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I count on the Bugaboot III for seriously cold and wet conditions. It’s warm, super grippy, and doesn’t feel overly bulky—plus the 200g insulation hits the sweet spot for hiking in snow without overheating. The Omni-Tech waterproofing and tall shaft keep me dry no matter the trail or storm."

When freezing winds whip through the canyon and the trails are blanketed in snow, we reach for the Bugaboot III Hiking Boot. Engineered to tackle deep winter excursions, this tall-profile boot offers the warmth, traction, and waterproof protection we need to keep moving in unforgiving conditions. With a weatherproof leather upper and molded shell, it forms a tough barrier against snow and slush, while the Omni-TECH™ membrane allows vapor to escape to prevent overheating.

Inside, 200g of synthetic insulation provides cozy coverage without the bulk, and the lightweight TECHLITE™ midsole delivers cushioned energy return mile after snowy mile. An Omni-GRIP™ rubber outsole with deep lugs grips frozen trails and slick sidewalks alike. Whether we’re snowshoeing through pine forests or shoveling before sunrise, the Bugaboot III is our winter workhorse.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought two pair of these because the first pair seemed a bit small but then they broke in and we’re fine. Great boots keep my feet dry.
