The Columbia Fairbanks Mid is a mid-cut hiking boot with a suede, mesh and textile upper, a waterproof membrane and a rubber outsole. It sits at the casual end of Columbia's hiking line: lighter and softer than leather backpacking boots, with an EVA midsole for cushioning on day hikes and town wear. Reviewers tend to like the out-of-the-box comfort and the price-to-feature ratio against stiffer boots from Merrell and Keen, but some find the waterproofing and grip modest on wet rock and steep trails. It suits walkers, commuters and light hikers more than multi-day backpackers.

Owners describe the Fairbanks Mid as a comfortable, light boot that handles rain and easy trails well for the money. Critics say the traction and long-term waterproofing fall short of tougher hiking boots.
