I purchased this for my son away at college. It arrived quickly and he loved it. He said it was different then what he expected but really loved it. I have not seen it yet so I am reviewing this on what he said.

I like the coat's style and material, but it has a deal breaker: the two zippers of the side pockets can lock your pockets accidentally (almost all the time if you fully zip them). I once spent an hour to open my pocket and almost returned it with things inside the pocket. Nevertheless it's a nice coat. I hope the manufacturer improves it.

Would recommend the fleece jacket to everyone. The quality was excellent and something that I have learned to expect of any Columbia product that I purchase.

I read all the reviews and people saying to go up a size because the toe box ran small. I have wide feet, so I upped from my regular size of 6.5 to a 7. I wish I hadn't. Although the shoes still "fit" they feel EXTRA roomy in the toe box, and I would have preferred that I had my true size.

Other than the sizing thing, they are a great looking shoe and comfortable. I love the grey and mint color scheme.

I am very impressed with the quality of this jacket, it looks very elegant and I've gotten compliments on it already. Definitely will be buying more in the future!

So I think the shoes are ok. They came in a New Balance kids sandals box for starters... they were lightly wrapped in tissue with no tissue inside the shoe. Each shoe has what appears to be a slight skuff but the tread does not appear to have been worn but there is a small amount of glitter on the bottom of each shoe. I felt no foot or toe indentations inside the shoe... so I'm not sure what's going on here. Im planning on keeping them since they are back up shoes for school which get wrecked pretty quickly but paying full price for a shoe that has signs of being used by someone... that makes me rather upset. I bought a different pair of sauconys and they came wrapped tightly in tissue paper with tissue inside the shoe in the correct shoe box... I'll pay full price for that.
