Customer Reviews Columbia Fairbanks™ Mid

Great fit! Very comfortable and good quality. I was told they fit great and the size was just right

Comfortable for all day wear, while working outside.

Good quality hiking boots that didn't really require a ton of breaking in. Relatively breathable despite waterproofing and overall great for the moderate difficulty hiking I prefer to do.

Comfortable, sturdy, waterproof! Great for the banks and hikes!

Love these boots. Great comfort and support. Lightweight and durable. The only issue is the amount of mud they hold in the treads.

Husband's 2nd Pair of these. He uses these for work in construction and swears by them. They are comfortable right out of the box and breath nicely!

These are awesome. Super comfortable, grippy, and waterproof. The only thing I don't like is the color of the brown/orange laces.

Love these athletic boots. Great fit, very comfortable.

it perfectly fits my foots and I like its material.

One of the best hiking shoes I've ever had. I bought these shoes three days before I left to hike a volcano in Central America. One of the hardest hikes I've ever done and I was mainly concerned with not breaking the shoes in enough before the hike. Wore them for maybe about an hour throughout the days before the hike and they held up great. Didn't have a single blister and honestly didn't even think about my feet hurting once. I see a lot of people talk about how the shoes aren't waterproof as advertised and I can't say much about that since the hike was all on very dry/sandy ground. Definitely recommend these shoes overall.

Excellent product, fits perfect. Very comfortable.

I bought these shoes two months ago. I wear them almost every day. They are one of the most comfortable boots I've ever worn. I am also very surprised that my feet do not sweat in them. I will buy another pair.

A comfortable pair of shoes. Make sure you tie them up tight to avoid dangling heel.

Bought these on end of winter sale as I needed new boots. They are by far the most comfy mid boot I have ever worn. They have great support and are fantastic to walk in.

I absolutely love these boots, bought these as a second pair. They are lightweight, comfortable and waterproof. Highly recommended.

Comfy fit & able to work, play with these sporty boots!!!

Great boot, waterproof and comfortable. Just a tad small if you plan on wearing winter socks. Love the style the green boot and orange laces really stand out, lots of compliments.

Very comfortable and not too stiff or heavy but solidly constructed. Did a ton of walking in the rain with these and my feet were cushioned and dry the whole time. Warm as well.

I bought these boots for work, during standing and walking outdoors for 8+ hours on end. The first day i wore them I was planning on just wearing them for a few hours just to break them in a little. After about 9 hours of continuous standing and walking I realized I was still wearing them. I was honestly shocked how fresh I still felt, no foot soreness, no knee soreness. I'm not exaggerating when I say they're hands down the comfiest most supportive boots I've ever owned. I've had them for a couple weeks now and they still look brand new, are still just as comfy, and I absolutely love them. My feet are a little wider than average, and I think the boots hug my feet perfectly. Not too much wiggle room, and not too narrow. The ONLY negative thing I can say, which is probably due to the waterproofing, is I do notice a little more sweaty smell at the end of the day than with my non-waterproof boots. But I'll accept that, since I'd prefer my feet stay dry on rainy days!

No complaints, I like the color, I like the fit, they are comfortable, they don't need to wear in like leather boots. I like the way they are waterproof but still mesh, so they are not blazing hot to wear. I do with they were a little taller, I might try another model next time. The tread is great although I can see it is going to pick up a lot of mud. They are easy enough I can wear them around, my last pair of boots (not Columbia) I dreaded putting on unless I had to. Will start with Columbia next time I'm boot shopping.

Love the shoes! First weekend in the cold and snow. Keeping the feet warm and comfortable. Would recommend!

The best intersection of style, price, and quality on the market. I've had a pair of columbia hiking boots that have lasted my over 8 years. I love the classic and modern look of these boots and the simplicity in the construction. They fit a little more narrow than my other Columbia mid boots of the same sime, but this very well could change as I continue to break them in.

The boots are extremely comfortable. I have only done a couple easy-medium level hikes so far with them, though I have not found anything yet that will stop me from wearing them on more difficult runs.

Wow I found the perfect shoe for me! No need to break them in, a great fit, a cushioned feel over rocky trails and no wet feet crossing the streams.
