Columbia Men's Fairbanks Omni-Heat

My husband, love you so much because of their comfort that he bought them for his guys at work

Bought these for my son who wears size 15. It’s really hard to find good quality shoes for Alaskan winters but we found these and they are great winter boots. Keep his feet warm and dry and have good traction.

I have 5-6 pairs of these for disc golf, hiking, hunting, mountain biking, you name it. I have really sweaty feet, so big heavy boots don't help keep my feet warm, but somehow these do (except when the snow is taller than the shoe). Could not recommend them more! The Omni-heat tech might actually have something to it ;).

Very warm during my hike, the additional insulation helps.

Fantastic boot! Warm, comfortable and the size is right one. Works very well in Wisconsin winters and traction is terrific.

A bit disappointed in Amazon on this one. You would think when you spend full price on a pair of boots you would receive all of the original packaging and tags and not be left questioning if this was a return or knockoff product. However my boots arrived in a "second hand box made of fully recycled material because the original box was destroyed during shipment" not only that, besides there being no original packaging or tags to speak of, the color of these boots appear blue and not the "graphite" (what I would consider dark grey) color as shown in the pictures. I'm not one to normally complain, but here is a Columbia shoe that IS grey to compare side by side.So far after a day of wearing, they do seem to be comfortable and did need a little bit of break in (I wear an 11w) initial fit was tight around the bridge of my foot, but I feel as though they will conform to the shape of my foot quickly. They have been nice and warm and my only complaint is what was previously stated. I'm curious if anyone else has ordered the "graphite/moss" color and have been disappointed by what arrived at the door.

I purchased these for fat biking in the winter and they’ve worked great. The sole’s tread pattern is similar to that of a flat pedal mtb shoe, allowing these boots to grip my flats securely. I typically wear a US size 9.5 street shoe and the size 10 in this model allowed room to add a reflective insole for added warmth. I’ve worn these comfortably in temperatures down to 20 degrees F, and that’s from a guy with notoriously cold-sensitive feet. Based on my experience in the snow they are indeed waterproof. Throw in that they’re lightweight and good looking and you’ve got the total package with these boots from Columbia (the company, not the country—they are made in Vietnam). My only niggle is that the heel tab is a single piece of leather (faux?) rather than a more functional loop. Not even close to a deal breaker for this remarkably functional winter boot.

I ordered a size 11, the same size I have been wearing for 40 years, the look of them is very nice. I took them out of the box, pulled packaging out of the boots and loosened the laces, put my foot in the right boot and realized these were extremely snug and I did not have on thick socks either. I have never needed a wide version of any shoe or boot. It seems I would need a wide size for these particular boots and perhaps the next size up.
