- How warm is the Omni-Heat lining?
- It reflects body heat back to you, so it warms well for commuting and everyday winter use. It is not a substitute for a heavily insulated pac boot in extreme cold.
- Are these boots truly waterproof?
- Yes, they use a waterproof membrane, and owners report dry feet in slush and rain. The canvas and textile panels benefit from occasional re-waterproofing to keep that up.
- Do they run true to size?
- They generally fit true to size, and the wide EEE and EEEE options give extra room. If you wear thick socks, consider the wider width rather than sizing up.
- How do they compare with Columbia's Bugaboot?
- The Bugaboot is a heavier, more insulated snow boot for deep cold and snow. The Fairbanks Cityscape is lighter and more casual, better for city streets and wet sidewalks.
- Are they good on ice?
- The rubber outsole grips pavement and packed snow reasonably but is not aggressive on ice. For icy conditions, add traction cleats or choose a boot with a sharper lug pattern.
- What is the upper made of?
- A mix of canvas, textile and leather over a waterproof membrane, with a performance fabric and textile lining.
