Reply to comment by whitefire89 in LPT: If you're buying a shoe. Make sure its body is stitched to the sole, not glued. by [deleted]

My Columbia hiking shoes lost their soles with very low wear anywhere else on the shoe. I took them to a cobbler and they glued and stitched the soles on both for $30. I've been wearing them for work 3x/week for over a year and they are holding up great.

I am a big fan of Columbia shoes myself. I didn't know you could do that with them.

I didn't either. I thought they were just going to glue it properly and was a bit surprised when my wife brought them back.
