ColumbiaFairbanks Omni-heat mens Snow Boot

They are not waterproofed as stated, leaked through from the top after only a few uses. Only worn in evening after work to walk dogs, and only on short grass open fields so terrian not harsh either. Also the cliam of low minus is nonsense as only -1C here but because they get damp your feet freeze. Do not buy!!!

This is my first bad review I’ve ever felt compelled to write. I’m so bitterly disappointed with these boots. They looked and sounded perfect for what I needed. I bought these boots for light dog walking in local parks [not snow covered mountains, cross country races or Amazonian rainforests). These boots leak considerably from a light dew on the spring grass in Hyde Park London. The very fact the boots say WATERPROOF in large letters on the heel gave me the impression that perhaps my feet would stay warm and dry. These are boots for fair weather only. Do yourselves a favour and look elsewhere.I’ve written and complained to Columbia and had no reply.

These are not waterproof boots. Were waterproof for about three weeks and then offered no water protection - so they did not smell great. Had to return when toe rubber separated on both toes after 3 months. The design around ankle acts like a funnel for grit, sand and dirt and you end up with tons in the boots. They are trail trainer boots which are really comfortable and look good.

6 months in right boot leaking very badly. Contacted Colombia, absolutely no help. Partner bought a pair of Thier boots about a month after I did and they are now leaking too. Give this manufacturer a wide birth.

Keep this review short.ProsLook good/expensive and different.WarmGood grip in slushy snowLike wearing sneakers very comfortableConsOn very slippery surfaces not good. But these surfaces no doubt problems with any shoeMaybe too warmSome reviews mentioned it would be better having a loop to help get them on. But this didn’t bother meI love them. They’re easy to love. Seemed water proof in slush and snow. Look after them with waterproofing and don’t scrub them to clean, cannot see a problemVerdict 8/10
