For elevator shoes, these are so incredibly stylish and comfortable.
I was absolutely impressed with not only the style and flexibility of these shoes - I was absolutely wowed but their performance. True to the description, they are a bit snug to the feet but, I was able to get my feet into them perfectly with not a problem. They gave me a few extra inches in height without it being obvious that there were lifts in my shoes. You honestly cannot tell, even close up. These shoes appear to just be regular slip on shoes. The quality is super nice and I can see these shoes lasting a long time in my closet and on my feet!
I would definitely, absolutely recommend these wonderfully tall and comfortable shoes!

The sneakers themselves are super cute and stylish. They are well made and go well with both joggers and jeans. The problem is we ordered 14 but received size 13. Hubs was able to push his foot in but it was a tight fit. Size 14 would have been a better fit. Disappointed.

We bought these shoes for our 13 year old son. As my wife wears a similar shoe size, she tried them on as well. First of all, these look super stylish. What we like most is that they are slip ons so even though they have lace ups for tightening/loosening, they are easy to get on and off (which is crucial for our son to get out the door as he moves slower than molasses). Anyway, both my wife and my son say the soles make them feel like they are walking on marshmallows. They are light weight and super comfortable and thus, perfect for walking. While they haven't yet been tested on a run, my wife (who is a marathon runner) suspects that these shoes do not have enough support for serious runs. However, for long walks and general athletic activities, they should be more than adequate. We highly recommend these shoes based on appearance and comfort.

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.

Reviewer pjkimball
Well made, super comfortable and best of all lightweight!!! So many stylish shoes are heavy weight - not these!

I used these for the beach -- to protect my feet from the hot sand and from whatever is lurking in it. They're quite comfortable, if a little bit loose, and work well for the purpose that I bought them.

The shoes are true to size. For those who have wide feet and are used to buy half size up, it will fit ok. Unfortunately, because the clothes is so soft, you will see your toe poking out when walking. Not a problem for normal width feet I am sure.

I wanted to get a pair of old school Tigers for some time....like since the mid '70s. I was always leaning towards Mexico 66s, but I have to walk on cobblestones quite a lot and could see that they just wouldn't work for that. I then found out about the Corsair... I thought they were a ripoff of the Nike Cortez, but the Tigers were designed first in '69 when the Nike founders were working with Onitsuka Tiger, before they started their own company and split the sheets, taking the Cortez name.
Anyway, these are really comfortable and look terrific. I never see these out on the street. I did have to go up a 1/2 size because my feet are a little wide and these are a bit narrow.
