Columbia Men's Fairbanks Mid

Love these shoes, especially for the discounted price. They are very comfortable. I normally wear 8.5, I ordered the same size and it fit perfectly. Seems to have good traction on wet ground. Though keep in mind that these are NOT waterproof, but still they are now my go-to shoes for rainy days. BTW, they don't squeak on hardwood floor.

📝 Quick Review These sneakers are comfortable right out of the box, with a lightweight feel that makes them great for all-day wear. The breathable upper keeps feet cool, while the cushioned sole provides solid support for walking, casual hikes, or running errands. The style is versatile enough to pair with jeans, shorts, or outdoor gear. 👟 Why They Stand Out Lightweight design for extended comfort Breathable materials help keep feet dry Cushioned sole offers good shock absorption Sleek, casual style works in multiple settings ✅ Final Thoughts A well-made, versatile sneaker that blends comfort and style, perfect for both outdoor adventures and everyday activities.

Comfortable and lightweight. The laces are quite odd-looking in person, and I feel like they immediately looked old, the first time on the trail; however, they held up for a year (which is typical for me). These are NOT waterproof in any way, just an FYI. I use these are my dry-season hiking sneakers, and I have alternates for the wet/cold seasons.

I normally don't write reviews, but after trying on these shoes and walking around in them I felt compelled. These shoes have so much grip and feel so comfortable to wear that I'm a new fan. They're not a walking shoe as much s they're a hiking shoe, but they go great with my semi casual wear. Thank you Columbia for knocking this one out of the park!

I love these shoes. They fit great and are super comfortable.

I really like these shoes for daily wear. I would classify them as casual outdoor shoes. They are very comfortable but lack the support of a true outdoor or hiking boot/shoe. If you're thinking these are replacements for something like a Keen hiking shoe, they're not built to the level of a Keen. But that's ok, they serve a purpose and for the price, I'm very happy with them. They fit true to size for me and they've held up very well over the past couple of months. They look good, have great traction, and for the price I'm very happy. For heavy duty trail use they may fail sooner than something like a Keen, but then again, you paid less than half the price, so maybe that's ok. I think they perform very well for the price range.

Decent shoe but only lasted about 4 months before the sole came unglued. Worn almost every day outside in, dirt, mud etc. I work on a ranch but don’t like clunking around in boots. Other than the sole separating, the shoes held up and were comfortable.

These seem to be near-perfect, virtually waterproof, walking/light hiking, sneaker-y, wide in the toe shoes. They're warm but not sweaty and feel kind of bouncy, which is good. I tried them out at the recent "No Kings" demo in a light steady rain and they kept my feet dry, tho the tops appeared to absorb water. The only slight concern is they smell strongly of vulcanized rubber, an industrial smell that I hope will go away after wearing them outside. Also, somewhat cheaper than other name brands and quite comfy, even when new.
