Customer Reviews Columbia Fairbanks™ Mid

Purchased to wear as an everyday boot for work in law enforcement. Not sure of the water proof-ness but interested to see how it holds up leading into slushy snowy weather in the Northeast. I am generally a women's 9 and purchased a men's 7 as the aesthetic of female boots isn't my favorite. Super comfy and did not require any time to break in.

These are my partner's second pair- he loves them. They are definitely waterproof- he got 2 years out of the first pair and was so excited when he got these as an early Christmas gift.

Great winter shoe, lightweight, warm, and comfortable

Over the last ten years , I have owned at least five pairs of Columbia shoes. These are my favorite. They fit perfectly, with a little rise in the arch for great support. The color is amazing. This is just another reason why Columbia is my go-to for wearable clothes.

Men's Fairbanks on Black Fiday offer 50% cheaper.

Boots ar really lightweight but also extremely comfortable. I did a long distance big elevation gain hike in them first time I wore them and they performed exactly as I expected them too. Also they look great.

These boots are comfortable, warm, and waterproof. I can see myself wearing these daily during the winter months.

Top tier boot, get for all seasons and abilities just what I needed.

Great shoes! Comfortable, quality materials and good looking! Highly recommended.

Worth the price, overall satisfied with the product, looking forward to see how long they last

These boots will have you new boot GOOFIN'! Deez boots are simply the best. Not genuine Ostrich, but these babies were well worth the 3 easy layaway payments. Waitwhat?! OH!

Instantly comfortable and love the look. The green is a bit brighter than I expected but still love them. Great traction and all day comfort.

Love the color and quality. Doesn't feel as heavy as they look

I bought this boot to be my new hikers boot. I have just promoted it as my "glider" boot. Yep, it kind of lets you glide. It's comfortable, but in a very steady way. It's also warm, but not in a toasty way. Besides, it's a clever looking boot.

Great weight and waterproof. Nice color scheme and look stylish

Very comfortable & lightweight sneaker boot. Used for rainy days in town, or long hikes outta town, and would do well for lightweight warehouse work too. I went down a 1/2 size compared to what I normally wear in Vans shoe sizes, fit is great. I'd like to see a black and gum sole colorway

I love these boots as they are lightband fit perfect.

So comfortable and stylish. I was surprised. Now i want another color.

Boots are very comfortable and smooth while walking.

I wear this shoe everyday. I work outside most days and this boot has lasted the longest of anything I've owned in the past. Most hiking shoes are ugly, but these look cool. I have the green ones too. Pro-tip, put some cheap insoles in and these will last twice as long.

These boots are perfect for me. When i first pulled them out of the box i was slighlty worried they would bee too small. This was not the case, instead the fabric had enough "give" to where there is stretch in all the right places, and this also made it easy to break the shoe in. Ankle support is perfect for me. One it is comfortable, this includes it being "soft". Two it can be easily "enhanced" by proper lacing. Three it allowed me mobility to scramble over river boulders and downed trees easily. Do note that if you have weak ankles and need extra support these may not provide the support you need. (go try it before you buy it) Shoe grip/sole. The grip was excellent, we will see how well it holds up to my environment, but it was great for hiking on slippery rocks and helped me stay sure footed on the boulders. I am extremely happy with this purchase. Hopefully it stands the test of time and use for me. If it does this will be my top recommended boot.

Buy them today. They are awesome and I've had a pair for well over a year and only reason I'm getting a new pair is because I wanted grey color.

Currently using this boot for hikes around the McMurdo Base in Antarctica on a 10-month deployment. Terrain is volcanic desert/snow/ice and have found this boot to perform significantly better than at least 3 other options I have. Specifically superior traction. An extra lace loop would be great to anchor boot tongue that slips out occasionally allowing small stones into the boot. But generally a great boot

Exactly what I was looking for. Stylish and functional. Comfortable. Feels durable and well made.
