Columbia Fairbanks Winter Boots

I have a ~35 year old pair of Sorel boots but good god they are heavy for walking. I recommend them as they have lasted this long and still look almost new and are about as warm as you can get. You cant beat that value.

I wanted something that wasnt garbage but that was light enough to walk in meaning miles. Like shoes but for snow. You know......boots.

I had looked at the Columbia Bugaboots for about a year but they just didnt seem to be what i wanted. Too bulky and i have heard bad things about them binding at the toes causing sore feet. Not sure if that is true or not. I then started researching hiking boots and holy balls are those expensive nonsense. I wasnt about to put a kayak on my car and drive to REI to spend $879 on a pair of stupid shoes.

Then these showed up.

I threw them on at the store and instantly bought them after driving home and buying them on the internet for cheaper of course. Black Friday sales are your friend here.

These Columbia Fairbanks are super light and really really warm. Time will tell if they hold up but they are fantastic and i have put on quite a few miles already.




Verdict: Highly Recommend. These are not dumb garbage
