ColumbiaMen's Fairbanks Omni-Heat

Columbia's cold-weather waterproof boots exceeded my expectations in every aspect. I highly recommend them for their exceptional comfort and reliable waterproofing. The wide fit option ensured a perfect, snug feel that made every step a pleasure. These boots not only kept my feet warm in chilly conditions but also provided a comfortable walking experience. The quality of materials and craftsmanship is evident, instilling confidence in their durability. Columbia has truly mastered the art of creating functional and stylish cold-weather footwear. If you're in search of reliable, warm and waterproof boot, look no further – Columbia has nailed it.

I work in a subzero freezer where temperatures range on a daily from -30 to -20 degrees. I wear these boots with just a normal pair of socks and my feet are nice and toasty warm. I normally wear a size 10 but after reading reviews and knowing others who own these, I decided to go with a 10-1/2 and also went with a wide because these tend to run a little narrow. I absolutely recommend these though and will actually be purchasing another pair soon to have as a backup just in case anything happens to these. Also, great support, grip, quality, appearance, height, durability, warmth, weight. Lighter than any boots I’ve tried yet for cold weather.

I ordered these in 2020 and beat them up for 4 straight years. They are water proof, comfortable, warm, yet breathable. They finally gave out on me this past weekend during Tropical Storm Debby and the mud pits that came from it.They are water proof which was a must for me.Comfortable enough to wear all day (20 hours on your feet) without making your feet and back hurt. I'm a bigger guy and was skeptical about these, but they held up to my weight and pounding.They breath really well. I've worn them in 19 degree weather and in 100 degree weather.I just repurchased a new pair to replace the ones that I laid to rest.

I am on my feet all day (I am in construction) so my feet were always very sore at night, and in the mornings. I decided to try these boots, and my feet have felt amazing ever since! They are warm in the winter, but I believe they sell a non-insulated type as well.The support isn’t the great for your ankles, but that goes with the territory with the material these types of boots are made of.The fit for me was pretty close, but they do run just a tad and the large side. They also do look pretty good, to me anyhow.Durability is the only reason I don’t give these a 5 star rating. Now, I put my footwear through a lot of abuse, and these did hold up great for about 4 months. Again, that is a matter of the type of work I do, and the amount of time I spend wearing these. I’ve never found a pair of boots that are even mildly comfortable, even after breaking them in, that have held up any better than these boots.I would absolutely buy these again, and I will as soon as the pair I have are no longer useable!

I love these boots. Truly, they’re so comfortable I don’t like taking them off. I’m a fan of the brand to begin with, but products like this keep me coming back. They’re very lightweight and still quite warm. I wouldn’t choose them for a long day of snow chores, but to salt the driveway or run outside for a bit with the kids, they’re perfect. I think they’re mostly suited for those snowy, slushy days when you want comfortable shoes and also snow boots; when you don’t want to look and sound like the Bumble Snowmonster tromping around in big heavy boots. These are low profile enough they fit fine under jeans, and my daughter says she has “snow boots but daddy has shoes”.The traction is great, and the stride is exactly like you’d expect from a sturdy sneaker or casual hiker.

The Fairbanks Omni-Heat boots have been quite a pleasant surprise in terms of comfort, warmth, and flexibility. Right out of the box, these boots felt exceptionally comfortable, almost as if they were already broken in, providing a level of movement like a pair of tennis shoes.I primarily wear these boots when I'm flying gliders, and they have proven to be an excellent choice for my needs. They excel at keeping my feet warm, even in chilly conditions, allowing me to focus on flying without discomfort. Their impressive flexibility ensures unrestricted movement and full rudder control in the cockpit.These boots offer reliable traction on the dirt airfield, particularly when I need to walk along the wing and maneuver the glider on the ground. Surprisingly, these boots are so comfortable that I find myself wearing them all day, even when I'm not up in the air or at the airfield. Whether I'm running errands or simply going about my daily activities, they continue to provide comfort and support throughout the day.In summary, the Fairbanks Omni-Heat boots are a practical and comfortable choice for flying gliders, offering warmth, flexibility, and reliable traction. I even wear them to work when the weather is poor or very cold. They would also make great hiking boots if I were to use them for that.

I have a pair of the Fairbanks low hiking shoes in 10.5 and they fit with plenty of room. I'm a 10.5 in adidas as well as most other shoes and don't have a wide foot. I would say on the narrow side of average actually. That being said, these boots are uncomfortably tight. The length is shorter than my Fairbanks lows, but they still fit. I think you would be safe ordering a size up or your normal size in wide to get a good fit.I'm sending mine back for a 10.5 wide because i don't like extra length in the front.I wore the boots around in my house and they seem great. There comfortable everywhere except the sides in the front. They look great too.

Great boot for the winter. Very comfortable and warm. Fit great.

Me parece qué la calidad de las botas es muy buena, es decir, están muy bien hechas y se puede observar su buena manufactura. El diseño me parece atractivo, estoy seguro que más de algún color te será llamativo. Recomiendo comprar 1/2 número más, tal como lo mencionan en otras opiniones, ya que vienen un poco reducidas.

Excelentes botas, la talla es correcta, comodas y ligeras, bastante buenas para clima frio ya que tienen la tecnologia omiheat que mantiene el calor dentro de los pies, no las recomendaria para clima caluroso ya que los pies si se llegan a calentar demasiado.La calidad en general es excelente.

Me encantaron, son perfectas. La medida es tal cual la que usas. Yo las pedí de la medida que uso para todo y me quedaron perfectas.No son baratas pero la verdad valen cada peso. El material se siente muy bien, tanto por fuera como por dentro. Son calientitas, la lona se siente muy resistente, las costuras están impecable, la suela muy bien, ssssssuper cómodas y los colores ni que decir 👍🏻El único detallito insignificante es el refuerzo para jalarlas de atrás debió haber sido como argolla y no un simple trozo de cuero colgando. Pero eso no es razón para calificarlas como 10 de 10

Las usé en un viaje a Nueva York en invierno, con un clima de tres grados bajo cero, destacaría dos cosas, que mis pies estuvieron secos y calientes todo el tiempo, pero sobre todo fueron muy cómodas, llegue a caminar por la ciudad hasta 80 kilómetros en 4 días, y no tuve problemas… recomiendo comprarse un número más grande del que usualmente se usa
