Customer Reviews Columbia Newton Ridge Plus

Even though these boots were a little large for my feet, they are suitable for work outside, excellent for the field. They protect you from rain or wet grass, they are comfortable and look great.

I like my boots in general. The only thing I didn't like is that they are a little loose around the ankle. I've used them in the rain, but in order to make them completely waterproof you have to wear long waterproof pants because the shoe tongue is not waterproof. Otherwise you'll end up with damp or wet socks.

Super comfy great for hiking. A lot of support in the ankles!

I needed a good shoe for delivering mail and these shoes are great. The only thing that would make them 5 stars if they had memory foam or some cushioning. I added my own but overall I love these shoes

I really like the shoes. They are warm and perfect for the cold, wet weather. Great traction on ice and snow. They do, however, lack in some comfort. They could stand to have more arch support, and you must wear tall socks or the ankle rubs. I also am unable to tighten the shoes at the ankles without some measure of discomfort when I bend my ankle.

Very well made product, keeps my feet pretty warm as I work outdoors at the airport. The only issue I had was they felt a little roomy on me, I ordered a 7 which is my size but since it's the winter I don't mind so much since I usually wear 2 pairs of socks. But probably will have to buy a different pair for the summer time.

Used these boots to hike a 14er and they worked really well. Great purchase.

After trying on various boots in store, I was instantly pleased with this pair. I sized up after reading guidelines for buying hiking boots. After initially walking around in them, I was a little bothered by the crease in the toes but after putting on proper socks it was not a bother at all. I tried them out on a sandy 7.5 mile hike and they were fabulous, great support but could have used a little more cushioning in the sole.

So I received these boots as a graduation present because I now reside in Colorado for college, and I love the outdoors. There are a few specific reasons I rated them 4/5, so i'll explain. They are my first pair of hiking boots and I made a very rookie mistake in not breaking them in in the slightest before heading out on a medium/moderate terrain 7.5 mile hike. Literally took them out of the box and headed out to the mountains. I did notice right off the bat though that even though I don't have a high arch, the arch of my right foot was aching within half an hour of the trek from lack of support there. I brushed it off and realized too late that preparation should have been taken beforehand, so I didn't have to suffer through 5 hours of being on my feet with this. The crease did hurt my toes, although I did expect at least that since the leather/product is brand new and needs time to soften. My hiking socks are also Columbia brand since it's been my favorite for winter boots etc, but I will be looking for new socks with more cushion to help with the lack of arch support and overall cushion in the sole of the boot, as well as looking for in-soles for more support. I really enjoy the aesthetic of the boot, and wished there was more support in the soles, and that the tongue of the boot didn't stick out funny as it did after being laced up, which may have played a role in why i'm a little sore around the ankles as well; the boot itself was a smidgen loose around my ankle because of that. If you have more of a flat foot, are ready to spend a little more money on some in-soles, or are just looking for a good quality boot with less cushion, these are right for you. The omni-grip is amazing and I didn't slip once whilst scaling boulders and they were a breeze on uneven terrain. I also got size 6.5 (quarry/ blue wave) as I usually wear a size 6, and I have the perfect amount of space for thick socks. Overall I feel very hopeful with these boots and that'll i'll be able to break them in and modify them to fit my needs because in a few weeks I am planning a 14er mountain hike, and these boots have a good frame to my standards, and I would love to actually be comfortable in my boots. I hope this review is helpful!

I read the reviews in this page and decided to buy a number more than I usualy get (I`m a 6 and got a 6.5). I can`t use them, probably will have to sell them. Do not make this mistake. I`m very sad because I loved this boots, they seem to be very confortable and I won`t be able to use them.

I bought this boot for weekend hiking, but it fits perfect as an everyday boot for fall/winter. I use number 8.5 but bought it 9. It runs a little bit small. Even for me, I have a narrow/thin foot. Very comfortable and very good material.
