Customer Reviews Columbia Newton Ridge Plus II Waterproof

These boots are OK. That said, they don't seem quite as substantial in the sole as a previous Columbia boot that was similar to these in appearance as these.

Initial thoughts are good. They're comfortable. It looks like the sole is starting to separate after only 2 weeks. They're not letting water in so I'm still happy but time will tell...

They were great boots but after only having them for just about a year, the right boot blew our where the shoe meets the sole, very disappointed, Columbia used to have better quality materials

Actually love the shoe, but the wide isn't very wide.

I ordered a size 11 Wide, but as soon as I saw them I could tell they would not fit, they were too narrow. I wish Columbia would create actual wide-fitting shoes, because the design and construction looks excellent, they just don't fit wide feet.

My husband always wears size 12 and these boots wouldn't fit in standard or wide size 12. They fit really tight on the sides. Boots look really good but they didn't fit.

I really like that these are sturdy and light weight. Unfortunately, 2 miles into my first longer trek with them I started developing blisters on my heals. Could just be my feet with these boots...but I can't remember the last time any footwear gave me blisters.

Nice hikers, but not quite as good as I expected from the sales pitch. They look sharp, and have resisted the elements I've walked through so far (light snow & heavy rain). For a pair of non-safety boots, the toe box is a little cramped, but my first thought after putting them on was that maybe they put the wrong insoles in, because they were nowhere near as cushion-y as I was expecting given the write up's "Responsive, supportive cushioning" line. Caveat: I've worn only about 4 days, and not yet taken trail running. As of now I may want to swap out the insoles before that though.

Good looking boot - can wear with pretty much anything. I love the traction, support, and durability with the waterproof feature, but it was not the most comfortable hiking boot I have owned.

I like the style of these boots but shoe glue in between spaces are starting to come apart and I'm starting to wonder how long they will last. I purchased the boots in May 2019 and it is September 1st, 2019. In the future I'll only purchase these at discounted at prices. I wear size 16.

I purchased this as a low cost option for messy walks and that what I use it for. Unfortunately this size 11 is very narrow and uncomfortable, I probably should have returned them but for what I am using it for I kept it and hoped they would break in some, which they have. They are not very comfortable on my foot, and a wide would have been better if available,, but didn't see one and I have other Columbia boots\shoes where wide wasn't needed. They just feel awkward, but every foot is different. They are good for wet and mud and that's only when I use them.., I wouldn't wear them for long walks or hikes, I have some Scarpa's for that.

The boots are nice and light. Waterproofing is up to the tongue. The tongue keeps off the rain very well but if you step into the puddle that reaches to the tongue or walk through water so that the water reaches the tongue, the water wil get through. But from the positive side if you don't get too much of it in, it will try out pretty fast. I have used them all year long but they are most comfortable in temperature range -5C...15C with thin everyday sock. In colder temperatures it is nice to have a bit thicker sock. At first it needed to break in a bit but after that they were very comfortable. The life for those boots is ca 500km so it makes 10km for 1. The first thing that broke was cushioning behind the heel. It actually didn't affect the comfort nor waterproofing (even when walking in melting wet snow). Then @ca 500km the insole was worn out totally and I almost throw the boots away. Thread in bottom was also a bit worn out. But as one day I needed boots quickly, I got new insoles from supermarket and they were still pretty ok. It elongated the life of the boots for another ca 100km and then the side of the boot cracked. At first I was dissapointed the boots lasting only 1.5 years but when counting the cost and the distance, it's quite ok.

Two issues : 1) the color doesn't match the color on the box nor does it match the online color. 2) there is a inside the boot piece rubbing on upper part of my foot from time to time not sure what's causing that

Overall very good shoes to but for winter season. I would say they are worth the price but not that waterproof. I mean to say is we can feel the wetness inside the shoes when we walk in the snow. Overall a very good product.

It is a pity that the color that one sees in the images of the boot on the internet is quite different from what the boot really is. I bought the MUD-SANGUINE color but the boots are physically much darker and it is not what the images show. For the comfort and functionality they are excellent.

According to my hiking tracker i have worn these for 75 miles of light to medium terrain and the front tread on both shoes is almost completely worn out. Very disappointing.

A little small even though they are supposed to be size wide. You'll need new insoles for sure. Love the way they look, great sole and they are lighter than some of the equivalent boots I have.

Bought these for hiking and bird hunting. After one season (roughly three months), they lost their waterproofing and shortly thereafter, the seam between the outsole and the vamp on both boots separated. Now they are relegated to lawn and yard duty. Pretty expensive boot for that.

Great quality, I had to exchange, went smooothly. Waterproof!
