Customer Reviews Columbia Fairbanks™ Low

Size fit perfect with lots of comfort. Shoes straight out of the box was easily the most comfortable shoe Ive bought and the material seems build to withstand the wear and tear of the outdoors.

Good fit and comfortable. The insoles are thin and i had to glue them in place because they had a tendency to walk backwards into the heel as you wore them, especially doing more active things like running/hiking. A couple smears of shoe goo on the bootom of the insole seems to work to keep them in place.

I dont like the fit/ they are tight- the wide tongue is uncomfortable and they feel small for the size I ordered. I dont recommend.

I am only rating them with three stars because of the moldy smell. I really like their shape and they fit very well. They are comfortable to wear. As I mentioned above, out of the box they came with a really strong moldy smell. I left them in the sun for a few hours hoping the smell will fade but, unfortunately, it didnt. I also used some shoe spays, also with no positive effect. I should have returned them but I through away their packaging so I had to keep them.

Bad sizing info on website. I had to order a 2nd pair because despite following exactly the sizing guidelines, the shoes I originally ordered were too small. Shoes run true to size, but I was led to believe they ran larger than that based on the guidelines on the website. Since I got the correct size, I really like the shoes. They're comfortable, versatile and will be perfect for my needs.

Stitching broke on both pair around the same time. Two months old

Im a shoe snob, sometimes I buy shoes online before trying them on, these are a true fit (Im a size 12). I will be buying another pair soon in a different color. These are super comfortable and look great.

Purchased this shoe in blue about a year ago, and love the look, love how grippy they are even when hiking on wet rocks. I also have the Fairbanks omni heat boots and love them, but the shoes run a half size larger than the boots in my experience, so if you're between sizes, I'd recommend sizing down. I originally purchased 11.5 (my normal size) but exchanged them for 11 which fits perfectly. Only reason for 4 stars is the mesh/cloth material on the upper will wear out more quickly than most shoes.

Comfortable! Only gripe is I wish they had wide sizes. A 10 W would have been perfect. I got a 10.5 and it's a little big but nothing to complain about really.

Purchased this shoe specifically for the wide eyelet/laces design as it is getting harder to find a wider made shoe that I liked the looks of. Wonderful shoe once broken in. Shipping box was pretty beat up and as such heels of the shoes were misshapen and caused a blister on the first hike....otherwise would give 5 stars.

Good, comfortable shoe. Aggressive, sticky tread. The color of the sold is darker than depicted in the photos.

Looked good but was oversized. I wear a 10.5 in many other brands but this was a little too big so I returned it. Unfortunately it's costs money to return. When the many other brands I wear fit in 10.5 and now this Columbia shoe runs big and I'm paying money to return it really leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Not again.

this shoe is medium light weight, flat bottom and little arch support. I put my insoles to support my foot and it works out great. it has great tread/traction and I hope the holds up to long walks to the fridge..

Comfortable, good feet support, confidence in outdoor use

Second pair I've owned. First pair lasted a looong time. Brand new pair has a squeaky sound in the heal of one shoe when I walk.

Seem comfy. Haven't worn them for any length of time yet. Look nice.

I have wanted these shoes for quite a while, mainly due to the look of the shoes. I am very happy with my purchase. They are very well made, they feel solid on foot, but are also comfortable to wear for long periods of time. They can even be adjusted a bit with the lacing and used as slip ons, the back portion is solid enough that you won't push it down while trying to slip your foot in. The only downside would be that they are a bit heavy, if you are planning on taking very long walks with these and you are used to hiking, this may not be an issue. If you are going to use these for typical around the city walking for a long time, you may feel the weight. Overall, great shoe! Glad I purchased.

Super comfortable anywhere shoe! Sporty and casual to wear out on the town, good for trails and grippy enough for a round of golf.

The four stars instead of five is because the shoes are longer in size than expected. Otherwise, They are soft and confortable and look good with shorts or Jean's pants.
