We can't praise zapatillas de running Under Armour ritmo medio talla 38 baratas menos de 60 enough for its quality comfort and toasty insulation. With its sneaker-like weight and flexibility, it proves that a winter boot doesn't have to feel like a brick. Even though we don't find it good for hiking per se, it is hard to beat as a city-to-trail option. What has delighted us even more is its affordable price tag.

Who should buy

One of the lightest winter boots we have ever tested, the zapatillas de running Under Armour ritmo medio talla 38 baratas menos de 60 is a solid option if you:

  • This Man Is Running From Alaska to Florida
  • need an extra warm insulated boot (200g insulation)
  • look for a versatile boot that can go from streets to trails

Who should NOT buy

If temperatures don't drop below 40°F (5°C) in your area, the Fairbanks Omni-Heat is going to be an overkill. We recommend its lightened version, the Fairbanks Mid, Sneakers Alyssa 01 BF2027 TX250 Brown Black S18A0.

On the other hand, if you need a maximised level of protection, try Columbia's burlier high-top Bugaboot III (also 200g of insulation).

Cushioning

Heel stack

Granted, this boot is not among the most cushioned ones. Measuring its heel stack with a calliper, we got only 30.8 mm.

zapatillas de running Under Armour ritmo medio talla 38 baratas menos de 60 Heel stack

This is notably lighter than the average hiking boot and feels minimalist compared to another popular winter boot from Columbia, the Bugaboot III (46.9 mm).

In terms of impact protection, we found the Fairbanks to be sufficiently cushioned. But some people may prefer a taller platform for winter months to keep their feet higher off the cold ground.

Forefoot stack

This boot also proved to be low-profile under the toes. With a 19.2 mm forefoot stack, it placed the foot a few millimetres closer to the ground than other boots.

This is what makes the Fairbanks feel so different from a typical boot. You have to cut off the platform to get a lighter and more flexible pair.

Drop

Looking at the difference in stack heights, we get a drop of 11.6 mm. This is a typical drop for a hiking boot.

Note: a low durometer measurement equals a soft material, whereas a high measurement means it's firm.

Walking in the Columbia Fairbanks feels pleasurable for one more reason - its cushioning is softer than usual! Seems like the boot's Techlite Comfort System lives up to its name.

Our experience was backed up by the durometer measurements too. With a reading of 18.9 HA, the boot's foam is 33% plusher than the average!

But most foams get significantly firmer in low temperatures. Does this Columbia boot also turn into a brick in winter?

As it turns out, it doesn't!

Having kept the Fairbanks in the freezer for 20 minutes, we repeated the durometer measurement. The foam did get 22.5% firmer but it was still softer than most boots at room temperature!

Stability

Lateral stability test

Let's get this straight: the Columbia Fairbanks Omni-Heat is NOT the boot you want for backpacking or hiking on technical terrain.

Sneakers TOMMY HILFIGER Iconic Leather Vulc Punched FM0FM04166 Black BDS Salomon X Ultra 4 Mid GTX for example.

But if we treat it like a casual boot for light and urban hiking, it is certainly stable enough for that. The primary reason behind it is the boot's low platform.

Torsional rigidity

The Fairbanks Omni-Heat is all about natural foot movement. It feels very different from a traditional stiff hiker.

First of all, it's got no shank or any other stabilising features inside the midsole. Twisting the boot in our manual test made us think that we could do yoga in it.

As our squeeze-and-push test revealed, the boot has absolutely no structure in the collar either! We gave it the lowest rating of 1 out of 5 for stiffness.

While some people like such freedom of movement, many are used to having solid ankle support in their boots. For that reason, we cannot recommend the Fairbanks to folks with severe overpronation.

Flexibility / Stiffness

The Fairbanks Omni-Heat is by far the most flexible winter boot we've tested. It is even bendier than some running shoes!

To show exactly how pliable this boot is, we measured the force it takes to bend it to a 90-degree angle. Needing as little as 16.6N, this Columbia boot is a whopping 140% more flexible than average!

Amazingly enough, even after being exposed to low temperatures, the Fairbanks remains exceptionally flexible.

Having spent 20 minutes in the freezer and getting 33.7% stiffer, the Columbia Fairbanks is still 150% bendier than the average hiking boot.

Weight

If you despise winter for having to wear heavy coats and boots, the Fairbanks is here to take care of the latter!

This Columbia boot blew our minds with its unmatched lightness. In a men's US size 9, the Fairbanks Omni-Heat weighs only 15.5 oz (439g)!

It is more than 3 oz lighter than winter boots on average (18.8 oz/532g)! On foot, it actually feels like a high-top sneaker.

Breathability

It is pretty self-explanatory that an insulated winter boot is not a breathable one. But we still put the Fairbanks Omni-Heat boot through our smoke-pumping test to prove it.

With not even a hint of smoke passing through the boot's upper, we can confirm that this Columbia boot is sealed. On a 1-5 scale, where 5 is the most breathable, we gave it the minimum score of 1.

Waterproofing

The interiors of this Fairbanks boot are lined with the Omni-Tech, the brand's proprietary waterproof membrane that is attached through seam-sealed construction.

Even though it's not the world-famous Gore-Tex membrane, zapatillas de running voladoras pie plano.

Insulation

As an amazing partner for the winter, this boot is packed with 200 grammes of insulation under the Omni-Heat reflective lining. The idea behind it is that the tiny silver dots with aluminium will reflect the heat generated by the body and keep it inside the boot.

On freezing days (below 30°F/0°C), we were ecstatic to have this Columbia boot on as it created a really warm environment for our feet.

Durability

Toebox durability

Columbia claims that the Fairbanks' upper is made of Cordura. This sturdy fabric is known to be used in military wear thanks to its resistance to abrasion, scuffs, and tears. But is it just as durable on this Columbia boot?

Unfortunately, our durability test proved otherwise.

Using a Dremel, we drilled the boot's toebox at a 5K RPM speed for 12 seconds. The result was quite discouraging as the textile tore much easier compared to other hiking boots.

On the other hand, the boot's interior lining showed much better wear resistance in the Dremel test.

After 4 seconds of drilling, the damage was minor enough to rate this boot's heel padding durability as 4 out of 5.

Knowing that the Omni-Heat lining doesn't scuff so easily is reassuring for a winter boot.

Outsole hardness

Even though the Columbia Fairbanks Omni-Heat is not meant as a dedicated hiking boot, its outsole game is on par with some serious boots!

First of all, it's made of a pretty hard rubber compound. Based on our durometer, it comes in at 87.5 HC which is the same as the average of hiking footwear.

Outsole durability

Secondly, this rubber is not afraid of our Dremel. Drilling it for a good 22 seconds at a relentless speed of 10K RPM, the tool only caused a minor dent.

We used a tread gauge to measure the dent and got only 1.0 mm. This is how dpep the Dremel typically goes in hiking boots.

Great job, Columbia!

As expected from a waterproof and insulated boot, both sides of its tongue are fully attached (or gusseted). This is essential for keeping the interior warm and free from snow and debris.

Heel tab

Having a pull tab is really necessary in the Columbia Fairbanks Omni-Heat. Because of the boot's collapsing collar, it can be tricky to get it on fast.

But the problem is that the heel tab is made of suede and is a little slippery between the fingers. We would appreciate a finger loop here instead.
