Tell us about your favorite pair of shoes, and where they’ve taken you.
There’s a certain kind of gear that becomes more than just an accessory—it becomes a companion on every adventure. For me, that’s my pair of Columbia boots. They aren’t just footwear; they’re a symbol of every camping trip, every dirt trail, every sunrise over a secluded lake, and every starry night by a crackling fire. These boots have been with me through it all, and they’re still standing strong, ready for more.
From the moment I laced them up for my first real camping adventure, I knew they were something special. Designed for durability, comfort, and all-terrain support, they’ve carried me over rocky paths, through muddy trails, and across leaf-covered forest floors. Whether it was hiking to a secluded campsite, exploring nature’s wonders, or simply setting up camp in the crisp morning air, my Columbia boots have been my trusted partner every step of the way.
These boots have traveled to more campsites than I can count. From the cool fall nights of our tent camping trips to our glamping experience in a geometric dome nestled in the woods, they’ve never let me down. They’ve been dusted in desert sand, soaked in unexpected downpours, and caked in the rich soil of a well-loved campsite. Every scuff and scratch tells a story of an adventure lived and a memory made.
Now, as Snatcher and I work on converting GLO, our Dodge Ram ProMaster van, into our dream camper van, my Columbia boots sit patiently by the door, ready for the next journey. Once the build is complete, they’ll be the first thing I grab as we head out to explore new destinations, new campsites, and new experiences.
Our dream trip to the Outer Banks is already calling, and I know these boots will walk along those sandy shores, step onto the fishing pier alongside Snatcher, and wander through coastal trails I’ve yet to discover. The journey is far from over, and my Columbia boots will be there, one step at a time, embracing every moment of the great outdoors.
No matter where the road takes us next, one thing is certain—my Columbia boots are always ready for the adventure ahead.
