Customer Reviews Columbia Newton Ridge Plus

Very nice boots, but too narrow even though I ordered the 7 wides. I already have a pair of size 7's and they seemed to be the same width. Had to return them, unfortunately.

So far, I really like these boots. They are a little bit too big. I typically wear an 8 or 9, so I opted for a 9 since I was planning on wearing these during the winter with heavy socks. But even with the heavy socks, they are a tad too big. I probably would have returned them had there been 8 s available. Overall, though, these are really nice boots for the price. They are sturdy, yet very lightweight. The tread is pretty good. It was super icy on the hilly trail on my first walk with these and they performed pretty well. I only slipped a few times on the icy hills I really like the sage green and grey combo. I usually don't opt for color when black or grey is an option, but the green is pretty understated and pleasant.

Great shoes, waterproof in 4 inches of snow, and roomy inside for boot socks. My only issue is they are stiff out if the box, but it's already getting better with breaking them in. I've worn them on two hikes. No blisters either.

Very supportive and comfortable when worn for hikes.

Comfortable waterproof boot. Thankful it comes in wide widths - a saving grace for my feet!

These were perfect "beginner" hiking boots for my trip to the Grand Tetons. We did a 20 mile hike on a rainy and snowy day and my feet stayed warm and dry. After 20 miles, my feet were extremely sore, so I might consider getting inserts in the future. I am guessing there are more expensive hiking boots with a little more arch support out there as well. I sized .5 up so that my feet wouldn't be smashed.

I loved the steadiness and it's stability while hiking yet I would have loved more cushion.

I think they could use a little more vision but nothing a insole can't fix. I opted for wide and they were a good fit

I bought these for year-round trail hiking with my dog. I've used them a couple of times so far. They are light, comfortable, and stayed dry through puddles and small creeks. Love the price too!

I purchased 6 Wide. I'm usually a 6-6.5 in all shoes. I have bunions so opted for a wide to accommodate them, and the width was perfect. HOWEVER the length was at least a whole size too big. I even used the measuring chart since some there were a lot of mixed reviews on sizing. I loved everything about the show and gave it 4 stars for sizing to be way off the mark. I needed them this weekend for a hike, but now have to order another pair in size 5 and hope that fits better.

Extremely comfortable after a few days. Once you break them in they are amazing. Removed.one star for the initial discomfort. Look great as well, good ankle stability and support.

At the top where the laces tie, the tongue of my boots pouches away from the boot. It stays curved upward away from my foot rather than laying flat when walking. Has anyone figured out how to make the tongue lay flat?

These boots are great for the price. Sturdy yet comfortable for all day wear.

Was looking for a lightweight, waterproof hiking boot to replace my 20 year old hiking boots. Found it in the Newton Ridge Plus. My old hikers are great--I love them. But they're not waterproof, they're kind of heavy, and they're more narrow in the toe box which means my feet are tired and cramped at the end of a 10 mile hike. These boots solve all of the above problems. Wore them on a 7+ mile hike today and my feet felt as good at the end of the hike as at the beginning. They were a bit stiff at first but seem to be loosening up. Completely waterproof keeping my feet warm and dry. Toe box is sufficiently wide and they're easy to clean. The only down side is that there's not much cushioning (1/2 star off for that) but it was easily remedied by inserting a gel insole. I usually wear a size 10 or 10.5 depending on the shoe and I went with the larger size here to accommodate thicker hiking socks. It was a good choice. All in all, I'm very pleased with these hiking boots and look forward to many hikes with happy feet. Another good Columbia product.

Ordered this boot to use on a trip to Switzerland for light hiking and walking. I liked the boot, especially the styling and color but it was too narrow with my orthodic and hiking socks. Had Ordered the usual 10.5 to accomodate but still too narrow. Had to upsize to an 11. Yikes! Unfortunately, due to timing I had to buy locally to meet my traveling deadline.

I have wide feet, so ordered a wide. Great in toe box but heel too wide. Looked sturdy and attractive, and price was right, but couldn't get the fit to work. Didn't wear it so can't address how well it performed.

I've worn these boots on multiple day hikes and they are comfortable, but they have caused blisters. Hoping that they just need a little more breaking in. When I wear them on short trips to run errands they are great. When I wear them to work (12 hour shifts in the ER) they are great.
