Snow days and not so snow days.
Winter with Yellow Tail in Colombia.

Choosing winter shoes is difficult. It is essential that they be warm to wear, waterproof in case of sudden snow or rain, and have a good grip for walking on slippery surfaces. The "Yellowtail" from Columbia is a winter boot that combines all of these features. The functionality that makes full use of the brand's long-cultivated knowledge of the outdoors and the catchy, stylish silhouette that is equally at home in the town, the Yellowtail is a winter boot that combines both. The first half of this article will introduce the secrets of its functionality, while the second half will introduce a sample style for town wear. In town or in the mountains, on a snowy day or a sunny day, you can go anywhere with the "Yellow Tail".

Select your own preference with a choice of functions and types.

ADVANCE

The "ADVANCE" series is the more functional of the two "Yellow Tail" series. The upper is made of highly durable Cordura fabric. The inner liner uses Columbia's original heat-reflective "Omni-Heat Infinity" function to efficiently reflect body heat through golden reflective dots, providing instant warmth. The outsole boasts high durability due to the "Vibram Mega Grip" and provides a strong grip even on wet surfaces.

Waterproofness is a particular concern for this type of boot. Rest assured, the "Yellow Tail" is waterproof, so you can spend time in the rain or snow without worrying about water intrusion. Furthermore, since an elastic cord (bungee cord) is used instead of a string, a high fit is achieved. It is also a great point that it comes with an adjuster that can be adjusted even with gloves on.

REGULAR

The "REGULAR" series is a little less expensive than the "ADVANCE" series introduced earlier. However, the functionality of the shoes is impeccable. Omni-Heat Reflective," the brand's original heat-reflective heat-retention function, efficiently warms up the inside of the shoes, making even cold winter winds a thing of the past. The midsole is made of thick EVA, which has excellent flexibility and elasticity, for a highly cushioned sole. The outsole is designed to be wide to add stability, and the rubber portion is enlarged to improve slip resistance.

Like the ADVANCE, these shoes are also waterproof. You can wear them without worrying about sudden rain or snow. One of the features of these shoes is that they are elaborately designed to be useful not only for outdoor activities, but also for town use. In addition, you can choose between long and short types, so why not enjoy your favorite pattern, color, and shape according to your own style?
