Customer Reviews Columbia Newton Ridge Plus

I don't write many reviews, but these were really strange boots. I wear a 7D (WW). With hiking boots I'm recommended to get a 7.5. They came and were plenty wide enough, but too long. I exchanged for a 7. Still too long. I exchanged for a 6.5 and though my toe was at the end, they still creased at the toes in a way that felt as if they were too long. They also had very little padding underfoot. I ended up with New Balance instead and though a tad narrow (my usual problem) the support and padding underfoot is far superior.

I walked around the house for a few minutes with these boots on and was surprised by how much I liked them. But then I went up on my toes and the boot bent just at the wrong spot and the crease crushed the knuckle of my big toe. I wish the material was a little softer so that wouldn't happen or even firmer so it wouldn't bend in. I had to return them.

I was disappointed with these boots and am returning them. As other reviewers noted, when you walk the shoe creases at the toe and digs in to the top of your foot. I also felt that they hit my ankle at an uncomfortable spot.

I need a wide shoe and a wide toe box, and these fit the bill. They were extremely comfortable with one fatal flaw: every time I took a step the leather would crease at my toes. After about 5 minutes of walking in them I was ready to return them.

Not comfortable. No arch support at all and when you walk, the top of the shoe creases uncomfortably and hits the top of your toes.

Honestly, I don't know when shoe manufacturers decided it was okay to make shoes out of material that stiff as a board. These were so uncomfortable that all I had to do was slip on the right shoe to know it was going to hurt to wear them. And zero arch support.

Initially, I really liked these! Fit well, and seemed to be well-made. HOWEVER, in just over two years, and wearing intermittently, the Sole on the right shoe became un-stuck all along the outer side!!! If I'd not super-glued back in place (?) I would add a photo. REALLY NOT GOOD! I won't be buying Columbia again! For $90. one should be able to have some confidence in at least five years of life in a boot/shoe!

Needed a boot in a size 12 and decided to try these. Immediately felt the toe crease problem conveyed by other reviewers. Bummer cuz they’re light, cute and felt good until I took a step- problematic in footware! Don’t bother! This style seems defective.

HEED THE WARNINGS - I never got to wear them hiking but just some New York City snow/ice & they murdered my toes. While lightweight the creasing at the toe was terrible after the second wearing. I tried different sock weights, tried lacing differently, and nothing helped. I wore once more and ended up with a terrible gash across my big toes (went up and down some stairs and the pain started probably about 5 minutes into the walk across town- luckily I had something to change into at my destination but the 20 minutes resulted in huge gashes). Worse purchase I've made.

Love these, great ankle support, keep my feet dry and not super clunky. Great for walking my doggos through the woods in the sprung and fall.

I love these shoes. I walk in the snow in these, hike, walk on rocky areas and they last forever for me. I don’t go hiking often, more walking in snow but my last pair lasted 5 years

My son loves them.

The size was as expected; Thye width is very confortable with good arch support great materials, and the water resistant is good.

Wore these on a week long hiking trip in Zion & Bryce. Great grip on bottom for rock ledges. Worked well!

Fit and size was perfect. However, i feel as though my feet will get too hot in these so i am returning them.

Very comfortable and stable

I'm sorta between an 8.5 and 9; I ordered both and kept the 9. Really like the Elk/River Blue color combination and though they're hiking boots, they're fairly lightweight and don't make my feet look huge. Changed the insoles to orthotics I have for plantar fasciitis; original insoles seemed thin without much arch support. Boots are comfortable and cushioning around ankle is good, particularly because the laces allow for adjusting the fit around the ankle. Use for walking dogs or on trails in the woods. For the price ($54) could not be happier. (I'm somewhat fit, age 63.)

Love these shoes!

I am very pleased with the color - quarry/ new wave . It's a beautiful shade of grey. The fit is comfortable. I ordered a wide so there's plenty of room for my feet.
