Customer Reviews Columbia Newton Ridge Plus II Waterproof

A very nice boot for too short of a time. I'm thankful for the great service from the warranty department. My problem was the sole coming off one of the shoes after only 4 months of normal use. I had the same problem with the Yolander from the outlet store and received the same great warranty. I am upgrading my selection to a more expensive boot and hope they hold up better. My advice try them you will like them but save your receipt.

I have bought a pair of these boots every year for the last 3 years. I run a catering business where I am cooking oysters on a large scale so I needed some waterproof boots that looked dressy enough to be considered professional. I do have to buy a new pair each year so I would almost say that the quality could be better but I am REALLY rough on them so I would think for the average person they would be fine for a at least a couple of years. The boots the last couple of years right out of the box were some of the most comfortable that I have ever had and I loved them. These while I still like them and are functional enough, do not seem to be as comfortable. Not sure what is different but it is noticeable. They do however do a good job of keeping my feet dry which is the main purpose that I buy them so I will probably get another pair again in the future.

I feel like if you wore these more than a mile you would start tonhave blister issues around your ankles. The collar and oversized tongue rub right into your ankle when walking. I could not get a tight enough lace up around the collar either. It is what it is. This is the only Columbia product I have purchased that I did not like. The quality is excellent, the materials and workmanship are excellent. But alas, fit and form are not the only aspects. It has to function. And these do not.

Good boots, keep my feet dry however they are not extraordinarily comfortable. cushioning is ok, i could use a bit more support with my feet. Toe box is narrow causing my big toe to blister on the side, my feet run a little wide and also should mention im 5'3 female at 150lbs.

I have some big feet, I typically wear regular 13 or 14 size shoes. I've tried on some columbia shoes in store and they tend to run narrow so I tried these in a wide. They felt nice at first but after wearing them for a couple hours the shoe is pinching the middle of my foot and causing pain. I'm likely going to return and try a 14W and see how it goes.

Boot is good quality but it sits right on the ankle wish it was a little taller. Had to return.

Color was not the same as the picture on website

These are great-looking boots, but if you order the wide width, realize they run narrower than other wide shoes. Getting a half-size larger might work, but then they may be too long. I'm bummed I can't wear them.

I bought this boot to commute to and from work. It's waterproof which I needed for the rain and lite snow. But it's not the most comfortable boot, it's average. I definitely wouldn't walk in them all day. I think it should have been built with more cushion inside. Also I'm sure on it's long term reliability yet.

Bought for my adult son and he reports they fell apart within 4 months. Loved the style, fit, etc. but the quality this brand used to have, sadly, was not there.

I needed a wide shoe but this shoe was still narrow so I had to return them. I even went up in size. They need to sell and extra wide shoe.

Right out of the box the shoes were damaged. Looks like they were re-glued. There were cracks at the seam of the shoes already with separation.

Worn twice, once to work and then a short hike and the glue that holds the midsole to the side of the shoe is already starting to fail. Between this and some PFG plants that saw every threads rip after two washes I think I'm done with Columbia.

They are comfortable, light, good for summer. But morning dew will get your feet WET.

I gave them a star because they were waterproof and looked good, but on my first weekend wearing them out on the trails they killed my feet. Blisters on both ankles and bruises on my big toe. They felt fine in my apartment but I suspect the cushioning wore down quickly. Also lost a dime sized piece in the mesh upper.

I have been purchasing Columbia products for 25 years and have always gotten quality items from Columbia. I bought this shoe a couple of months ago and the shoe is great walking around and on flat ground, but once you hike on steeper terrain the back of the shoe rubs a blister on the back of your foot. There is not any cushioning on the back to keep this from happening. I have been disappointed in this shoe.

The shoes seem to be of qood quality, but I can't even keep them on. I have tried the 14Wide and 15Wide in many of Columbias shoes and something has changed with them and they are making them too narrow now. Hiking shoes should not be narrow. You need room to allow your feet to expand. Hiking boots and trail runners should not be uncomfortable around the house, let alone on a trail. Columbia, please fix this. I have had to return the last three pairs of hiking shoes due to them all being too narrow. Your shoes used to be wider and much more comfortable. Again, they appear to be of good quality, but I couldn't even wear them around the house.

I haven't received the boots yet and it's been weeks so I cannot write a review about the product. I can only say that the delivery is too slow.
