Mens Fairbanks Low

I have spent the past year looking for the right shoes to wear on a 200+ mile hike through rugged, mountainous terrain in north central Spain. Since the trip also involved some road and city walking, I needed a pair of shoes that could handle anything--with enough tread to keep me safe on steep ascents and descents, but not so aggressive as to make walking on pavement uncomfortable. These shoes were perfect--If you have ever hiked the Camino Primitivo, you know the demands of that trail. After 200 miles/300km, the tread still looks like new. These shoes made the trip very comfortable for my feet. I normally wear wide sizes, but these don't come in wide. However, there was plenty of room in the toe box for my feet to spread out, and there no issues with feet swelling towards the end of a long day of hiking. I did not need to size up for this backpacking trip--the shoes had just enough room for my feet to breathe and move, but were also secure enough and breathable enough that I did not develop any of the dreaded heel blisters. The shoes are not waterproof--I chose breathability instead for the hot weather. Early one day, I stepped in mud up to my calf, and the shoe and sock underneath were dry within 45 minutes of walking. This incident did not affect the fit or performance of the shoe. This shoe does not have much cushioning, and again this is why I chose it. There is just enough to support my feet and joints, and it also allows me to feel the trail beneath my feet--which really helps prevent a rolled or sprained ankle. This was a surprise to me, as I run on heavily-cushioned Hokas; for walking, this minimally-cushioned shoe was perfect. I had no joint problems. I had an older pair of these shoes, which I have worn every day around the city where I live. These shoes handle uneven, poorly-repaired sidewalks, grass, and wet concrete and brick very well. This is one of the most comfortable, versatile pair of shoes I have ever owned. There is enough flexibility in the shoe to adjust your tie to a thin summer sock or a thicker merino wool sock for hiking or cold weather. They look nice, too. The black color fits in any business casual setting, or even with a suit on a regular day in the office. Finally, the price is excellent--this is also one of the least expensive pair of shoes I have purchased in years. It's a steal. The pictures show my shoes after completing the Camino de Santiago. Given that I now have two pairs of these, I don't expect to have to replace them for another year.

Comfy, sturdy, dependable! I have worn these shoes in an austere and hostile environment. These hikers do very well for long distant runs at a very fast pace, have great flexibility for weight training and boxing, are comfy enough to stand around up to 4-6 hours on, and are excellent to drive for several hours with. In extreme heat these low cut boots do well to keep cool, while in cold weather you would need to wear at least a mid weight warming sock to be comfy. Overall, I am going to buy a couple more pairs because of the proven status.

Comfortable and stylish but the shoe string guides broke in like a year with minor use. The new pair I purchased seem to lack the quality as my first pair so I returned them.

Super comfortable sole. Great shoe if you’re into flatter soles without the chunky heel.

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.

My second pair of this shoes, very lightweight and comfy. Perfect stuff for my work purposes, also good for everyday use.

☢️ This shoe has an intense chemical odor that lingers longtime. Yes, they do look and fit well. Although, shoe-string are too long and strings lack that friction needed to properly lace and tie. Although, it works. The material of this shoe-body and loops are not highest quality as I do see the tension from the strings pulling at each loop… this may slowly deform the quality appearance of this shoe. The bottom tread appears to be good quality. I have only wore a few times, so far. I suggest, use only for casual wear and the occasional light hike.

These shoes are very comfortable. Nice looking and durable. Probably the most comfortable shoes I’ve ever worn.

Good quality

I hate buying shoes because I can never find any at malls because I have size 14. I ordered these thinking ill most likely return them (Size 14) and they are the most comfortable shoes I can ever remember wearing! Very happy with these shoes! Wide Toe box, solid but good flex, couldn't recommend more!

Very impressed with these columbia walking shoes, as the title says I put them on as soon as they were delivered yesterday and I have so far walked a couple of miles in them, they feel like pre broken in shoes while being brand new. Highly recommended!

Es un modelo suficientemente contrastado en el tiempo, si se ajusta bien a la forma de tu pie, sobre todo dedos y empeine, las disfrutarás cómodamente, además son resistentes para un uso regular y comedido. Recomendables y si consigues una buena oferta más recomendables.
