Love these shoes. Perfect for the office or shorts and a tee. Ordered on whole size smaller than my Nike or Asics. Comfortable for all day wear.

I'm tough on shoes. I bought these just as some knock arounds for my automotive shop and they have ended up being the longest lasting, most durable shoes I have ever had.
I have used these when welding and have had them grinding on the concrete when I am under a car for a straight year and they have maintained.
The sole lasted much longer than most shoes (I've gone through Tland boots in less than 4 months) and they are still holding together a year later.
The sole has finally become worn to the point where the sides sort of mushroom out but they have not worn through and the uppers are still perfect with zero show or wear.
I'm hoping the all black comes available again and I will order another pair.

I like how it looks and it is comfortable as well.

Very nice shoe. I like the design and the sturdiness. It's a bit large, but I can adjust. One thing I've come to expect from Rockport is that their shoes do not have enough arch support for my feet. So the extra room will accommodate an insert. I do wish it were available in wide widths.

This is a nice pair of low ankle cut camo shoes for someone that does not want a pair of distracting bright colored shoes. The sole has medium flexibility and is good for all day regular play, but probably not the best for playing sports all day with friends. The sole has several layers and the rubber exterior of the sole extends high around all sides of the shoes, especially over the toes, less chance of getting your shoes wet from wet pavements, very nice! Also, it has a good medium arch support.
Made in China.

It's funny how things go - these shoes I might have worn two decades ago. They have that slacker feel (in a good way, of course). Very comfortable, very simple. Size is absolutely dead on. I'm a 13 in sneakers, mostly because of width, but I can often take a 12 in boots. These look fairly thin, but not ugly-thin like a lot of sneakers, but the comfort width-wise is there, and my ankles don't come up in the back, so the fit is just right.
Seems like the price swings wildly from one size to the next. These are some shoes I'd snap up if my size happens to be on the cheap end!

Great looking shoe, but even more important it's very comfortable! I typically wear size 10 1/2 shoes, but I wear size 11 in Sketchers. Worth trying on a pair somewhere before just ordering them. Great to wear with shorts or jeans.

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.
