Customer Reviews Columbia Fairbanks™ Low

I love my Fairbanks shoes, I have bought 3 pairs in the last month. That's how awesome these shoes are, get your self a pair already...great fit function and fashion...winner winner chicken dinner!

I was looking for some new shoes for an upcoming vacation. Bought a pair of sneakers, that I ended up not liking the looks of but they were on sale. Bought another pair from a major outdoor shoe brand, which have a pressure point on the top of my foot. Then at last, I found these shoes! It only took 2 weeks of shopping and going through 2 other pairs. They were exactly what I was looking for, comfort, stylish, and support for my foot that turns in. These are perfect for everyday wear and even light trail walking. They are comfortable and responsive like a good athletic shoe, but have the support and traction of a hiking boot. The laces are extra long and tend to come unlaced. Easily solved though by double looping and double knotting. Even if you can't find these shoes on sale, by them. They are well worth the money.

First they caught my eyes while I was looking for a pair of hiking shoes. The vivid intriguing colors made me pick them for everyday use as well as for a summer-day light hike. It fits true to size as I already have a pair of Columbia Hiking shoes so picked the same size. Breathable upper mesh and softly padded midsole as well as enough traction on outsole make it a perfect fit for town and trail. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a pair of light-weight general-use casual sneakers.

I got these as a daily use shoe that I would also be able to do some light hiking and trail walking and they have worked out well. They have quite a bit of cushioning but I'm still able to feel the ground and not just cushion. Good traction/ tread that grips well when hiking. The wide lacing is nice for someone with wider feet without the body of the shoe being too wide. The fit runs to true to size and matches other Columbia footwear.

I originally bought this shoe for outdoor hikes main the dry season. I'll start off by saying that this shoe is extremely comfortable and fits true to size. It is not waterproof Like its counterpart (mids). Has great traction on the bottom and is very well padded. I would recommend this shoe to anyone. I give it all 5 stars except function due to it not being waterproof.

Excellent pair of shoes. Really soft cushioning making them extremely comfortable. Great as trail runners and hiking. Used them for a several days hike without any issue. They also look great with any pair of pants. Highly recommend.

I ordered a pair of the Fairbanks 503 Mids for work a few months ago and absolutely loved them! So, when I went looking for a low shoe to wear casually on a daily basis, I looked here first. Upon receiving the order, the shoes looked great and the style will go with about anything, the shoes fit true to size, and were super comfortable lacing them up with no break in time. The traction is great on any surface with enough cushion to protect against feeling sharp rocks under you feet when on rocky terrain. Over-all great shoes and will probably end up with a second pair of a different color.

Thats a very cool shoes

Vary Comfortable I wore these all day long for a couple of days very soft in side feet don't hurt best Columbia shoe I've had and it looks really sharp

These are my first pair of shoes other than Skechers in a decade. These feel much sturdier on hills than what I've been dealing with.

Very good shoes for the price

My husband is a former athlete and personal trainer so he's seen his fair share of tennis shoes. Needless to say when I set out to find a shoe for our upcoming hiking trip, I had my work cut out for me. When he put these on, he immediately did that little bounce thing you do when you're testing new shoes. He jumped a couple times & then cut back and forth like he was running cone drills. He looks up & smiled at me saying...these are really good. By no means am I saying these are a good cross training shoe, but they do offer tremendous comfort and support considering they're more of a casual shoe. Plus they're orange and grey, and you know - Go CANES!

The style and quality are top-notch. Very comfortable shoe overall.

I am really enjoying my new shoes. In fact I just ordered it again with different color. I definitely recommend it for someone who likes to walk.

Fits great, looks great, and very comfortable.

These shoes are awesome. They are my new favorites! Breathable, lightweight and comfortable. I choose black and brown and I think they look great!

This is my go to shoe whether it's hiking, camping, or just around town. Very comfortable and surprisingly flexible, almost has a minimalist feel. I even wore them to the gym and held up great doing a HIIT routine. The shoe looks awesome and have gotten many compliments on them. I bought the steel gray and orange and the color scheme is great, goes perfectly with jeans, joggers, or dock shorts!

I am quite pleased with these shoes. It's summertime in Chicago and I have found these comfy and they have kept my feet cool. Especialy considering the sale price I think these shoes were a tremendous value. Also, they fit my wide feet very well.

Light, comfortable, and good looking! Perfect choice!

A comfortable, light-weight hiking shoe. Similar look and feel to trail running shoe. I have a wide forefoot so I appreciate the wide toe box of the shoe. I have worn these on trails that were fairly smooth and had good traction going up and down hilly areas. Not sure how they would perform and rocky trails.

Live the colors, great fit! So far I have been using them almost for all occasions, love it!

I have owned a pair of the Fairbanks 503 Mid for a good 6 months and finally decided to add the Low to my closet. I knew exactly what I was getting. Shoe looks distinctly different than most stuff out there. I got the Black/Brown colorway and it looks fantastic in person. The Mid I have is waterproof, so this is a nice change. More breathable, lighter, easier to wear with summer clothes. The tongue of the shoe is very cushioned, and the underfoot cushioning feels good too.
