This is a nicely made driving shoe for occasional use. After all it is only an $80 shoe, just what you would expect from a shoe priced in this category fit was about 1/2 size more than a normal street shoe; and about a 1/2 size less than my normal New Balance size (NB runs one size more than normal street shoes)
The trim outline of the shoe aids in driving small sports cars with narrow clutch/brake areas.

The shoe did bend and twist but was lightweight which I really liked. I tried the shoes when my feet were painful and swollen. I liked it!
Reviewer David Flitterman
Very comfortable and of good quality, it is the first time that I buy this model and they seem spectacular
Reviewer Wonder Child
this is the second pair I buy and my husband loves them. I will buy a third, a forth, etc as long as they are available. He is on his feet all day and really support and comfort his feet. great cushioning.

Super cozy best $20 shoe ever
Reviewer Bibiana Pang
they fit as soon as you put them on. you have room for your feet to spread out. I already had a pair of them and wanted another pair to replace the ones I wore out. they last long-I'm on my feet all day with no tightness felt.

The shoes are sturdy and comfortable. Also, It adds about 1 inch to your height, could be a negative for some. I'm so used to the thin soul type of shoes that I couldn't feel the gas/break pedals with this new pair.

I'm keepin em! No need to order a size up with to this model! I wear a size 9 normally and there is plenty of room in these! I am beyond satisfied! I'm a novice runner and am ecstatic to have some decent shoes to say the least!

The Columbia Fairbanks are comfortable, supportive, and have a good sole. The grippy sole is the most important part of a shoe for me, since I have an older individual wearing these sneakers, and avoiding slipping/falling is super important. The shoes are worn for daily walking about and work well for that.
The arch support feels great; there’s no foot fatigue at the end of a day wearing these. The mesh is breathable, but doesn’t block out any water, including puddles.
The sizing is true to size.
The look of the wide lacing is a personal preference (not a big fan) but definitely makes putting the shoes on and taking them off much easier than a narrow-tongued sneaker. Overall, the look of the shoe isn’t too athletic, so it could be worn in a variety of settings if you’re looking for comfort/support.
