Customer Reviews Columbia Fairbanks™ Omni-Heat™

At first I thought that I would love these boots until I hiked in them all day. The first problem was I had to stop every mile to re-tie them, the laces should go further up the top of the boot. They loosen up very easily and the top of boot opens up to act like a shovel to pack snow into the boot... I'm also not entirely sold that these are waterproof, my socks were soaked after 8 miles but that could have been from all thr snow getting in the tops. Don't waste your money!!!!

I'll be returning these. Boot gets wet easily in snow

I work outside in extremely cold and snowy environments. These boots are not waterproof!

I wear size 11 and that is what I ordered. It cramped my feet and got blisters on my toes after just ONE day of use. The most uncomfortable shoes I ever wore. I love Columbia products but very disappointed in this one.

Fairbanks omniheat 1. The mode of action for its Waterproofing is a chemical- not the weave. 2. The second eyelet from the top on the inside rubs the ankle 3. The webpage color is different for shark than in person 4. The sole is thin /can feel cold comming from below 5. The sweepstakes reviewes of the product are misleadingly incentivized 6. Fabric bunching at the seem of gusseted toungue buldging out

I'm extremely disappointed with these boots, and I more disappointed because i love it. The boots looks very nice, are comfortable and very lightweight BUT it isn't WARM at all. I've tried everything, wearing two socks, wearing wool sock, wearing my snowboard socks, i've even tried to heat the boot with the car warm air conditioning before going outside and no matter what i tried to do, after 5 minutes in the cold weather my feet always FROZE TO DEATH arround -5C even the description says the boots were Rated -25F / -32C

These boots are comfortable, warm, and lightweight under dry conditions. If you're walking around outside on a drizzly day, whether city sidewalk or well-drained footpath, they soak through immediately. Be prepared for wet socks. Disappointed!

Bought these for a trip to Iceland. Satisfied the first couple of days until the snow started to melt a little. Just a few puddles here and there and my feet were soaked. I had to take the soles out every day and let them dry. Cold, wet feet and freezing temps do not mix. Beyond disappointed.
