Columbia Men's Fairbanks Mid

Super comfortable and great fit. Depending on the make I move between 10.5 and 11 UK. Got these one 10.5 and they feel they were custom made for me. Lots of mesh, so ideal for longer walks in the heat.

Thanks good quality

Tried these on for size once delivered and couldn't take them off, they were so comfortable. Well made as always with Columbia and time will tell if they are as durable (which is why only a 4 star at this stage). Great looking too. Perfect winter trainers.

Good quality, durability and comfort, value for money as I didn't pay full price.

Very nice trainers very comfortable

Very comfortable, lightweight, mid season shoes. Good value. Great in winter with waterproof socks.

Ordered a pair of these and received immediately. They looked ok, but were too big. I returned and ordered half a size smaller. Got the refund for the original in the form of a gift certificate due to fact i was going to reorder and it was a quicker way to get the funds back. The new pair i have ordered will not arrive until April and i am unable to cancel and get a monetary refund. I selected next day delivery, but was given the option of 6th rather than 7th of April. Amazon’s customer service make it near on impossible to resolve. Guess i’ll have to wait

Disappointed. Size doesn't match, it's a bit bigger than UK patterns. I should order a half size smaller than my regular size. And they look better in picture! Very confy though and light.

Good quality

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.

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!

Very comfortable shoe , light yet very durable
