Columbia Men's FAIRBANKS OMNI-HEAT Hiking Shoe

Amazing ! These are great hiking boots with the style of a barefoot shoe but the support and cushioning of a boot. So incredibly comfortable ! Water proofing is excellent and they are very warm. If you're into barefoot hiking you can't go wrong !

Brilliant, warm, and very comfortable, also superbly light

These boots was bought for walking the dog originally due to being lightweight and waterproof, they are so comfortable and look good they are worn for everyday use during the colder months. Bought a size 9 for a size 8 to 8.5 foot as I knew I could ware thicker socks if they was too big but they actually fit well with normal cotton socks so with this I would say they are slightly on the smaller size so would advise maybe going up half to one size. My wife bought the female version and is a size 6 and bought a 6.5 and they fit well, she glad she went up a half size. They are waterproof and very warm. When muddy from walks they just wipe clean, probably the best boots Ive ever purchased, ticks all boxes, they look good, lightweight, good grip, warm, waterproof, comfortable, & easy to care for everyrhing I wanted in a winter boot.

Very good quality , Amazing color , waterproof ,cozy , light , good price , Durable , easy to use , functional

I am in love with these boots. They are super comfortable and almost feel like the barefoot type of shoes people wear. Nice and wide, suprisingly sturdy and waterproof. The perfect city commuter boot, but would also be able to handle the outdoors. I am going to buy a few more pairs. One will be for skiing in December.

Pros: 1. Aesthetics: The boots have a unique, stylish look that garners positive comments. 2. Warmth: The reflective Thinsulate lining keeps feet warm, making them suitable for winter. 3. Comfort: Wide toe box ensures feet don’t feel cramped, providing a comfortable fit for casual wear. 4. Lightweight: Great for urban walking and casual outings. Cons: 1. Waterproof Claim: The “waterproof” label is misleading; they are more water-resistant and suitable only for light rain. 2. Durability Issues: • The sole is separating on both sides of the right boot, with minor separation on the left boot. • Stitching around the toe box appears loose and unfinished. • Visible shoe glue residue in some areas indicates poor manufacturing quality. 3. Structural Weakness: Lack of ankle and structural support makes them unsuitable for hiking or rugged terrain. 4. Strange Odor: The reflective material inside has a pungent synthetic smell initially, which fades over time. 5. Not for Summer: Due to the warm Thinsulate lining, these boots are strictly for cold-weather use. 6. Price: At full retail (over £100), the value is questionable given the quality issues. Conclusion: These boots are ideal for casual, winter use in urban environments with light rain but lack durability and structural integrity for heavy or prolonged use. They’re comfortable, stylish, and warm, but their build quality and misrepresented waterproof claim leave much to be desired. If purchased at a discount (e.g., £68 what I got them for), they offer decent value for occasional wear, but they’re not recommended at full price. Originally ordered 27/11/2024 --> Update 18/2/2025: Laces on right boots are breaking apart (see photos) Rubber / Foam bit back of right boot is coming away? Foam bit on sole that says "Columbia" on both boots is getting ripped up. Stitching around both shoes toe cap is coming loose and or fraying, plus toe area shape is deformed compared to when new. (see photos) With these issues present after 2.5 months of medium use. I would say I have to drop 2 stars. I doubt these boots will make it to 6 months. Hey Columbia and or Amazon - Can I get my £68.32 back please! and I will wear until they fall apart. Why are companies building shoes that fall apart in 3-6 months. So much waste on so many levels, money, material and buyers time too. WTF!!! All to end up in a landfill.

Comfort is a 9/10. What im most surprised about is how they get warmer the longer you use them. I was 7K a day, and I've never had a boost that feels warmest at the end of a walk, and no soggy feet either, crisp and dry!! What wizardry is this? The fit is excellent, definitely value for money!

I really like these boots, so much I bought a second pair not long after my first purchase. The reason for the 3 stars is that the first pair whilst pulling them on using the tag at the back of the boot it very easily broke off! Absolutely gutted. Don't pull them on with the intended tab at the back as they seem to be very weak.

Good n very amazing product but have a doubt it's complete water proof or not. If it's completely waterproof than its an amazing for every purpose. Go for it guys

Warm even with small socks, waterproof and very light and comfortable. Tested in the forest for multiple rainy days straight at almost freezing t° (4°C)

La botas son muy ligeras, cómodas así como calentitas, en mi opinión se ven estilisadas y nada voluminosas ya las probare en condiciones más extremas y actualizaré mi opinión pero por lo pronto son muy recomendables.

Wore these for work since I work outside and I absolutely love them. They fit perfectly, kept my feet warm, and work amazing in the snow.

ماعليها كلام .. ممتازة وتدفي يمكن نقدت عليها بصعوبة الللبس فقط لكن جميلة ومضادة للماء
