I'm a little past a year of ownership of these, and JUST LIKE my last pair... the toe seams (connects the tip of the sole to the leather on the boot ) has completely blown out. Not on one shoe, but on both. Very disappointed.

The quality and comfort of this boot is not as good as high tec boots I usually buy. I need more cushioning and the leather quality seems poor.runs true to size

Not even close to a 14 2E. Returning. Very disappointed. Seems like a nice boot if I could get a pair that fits.

These are supposed to be WIDE and BLUE. They are neither. They are very narrow in the forefoot. And the blue is so dark it looks black in regular light. You need really bright light to see that it is dark blue. There isn't much cushion in these at all, and since they're so narrow there's no room to add an insert. I'm disappointed. The photo looks really good, and the description was promising, but these are going back.

Fit fine, and really nice looking, but the toe area/top of foot would bend in and hurt my feet when I walked, especially when walking up a hill/stairs - I returned them, though I really wanted to keep them because they are really nice looking.

In the past I have typically been very impressed with Columbia footwear. I decided to try these boots since I need a good waterproof boot with structure for work. They are comfortable once broken in, but the first day of wearing them my feet were soaked, and have been ever since. I haven't taken them through deep water or anything, just walked in some light rain and short grass. If you're looking for a serious waterproof boot, try something else.

Purchased a pair, was very disappointed that they were not the width as per the Shoes XL measuring guide. (Perhaps they are measuring the outside width of the boot rather than the INSIDE dimensions). The boots themselves appear to be of a reasonably good quality, but if you are expecting them to be a wide fit for a boot, you may be as disappointed as I am.

I loved the look, feel, and the light weight of these boots. However, the material of the sole is soft. So I would not recommend these to anyone who is on impervious or hard surfaces the majority of the time. Maybe these boots would be great for a manicured hiking trail. But, I wore my boots daily and around the 90 day mark the treads on the soles were not only to the point of no tread but the bottom of the leather sole was visible through the wornout rubber tread sole. Don't get me wrong, these boots are in my top 5 favorite boots ever owned. I just wish I could have gotten a year or two out of them instead of only a few months.

I ordered a 9.5W having been told that these boots run narrow. Unfortunately, the pair I received were still narrow as compared to other W boots I have tried. Needless to say, I will just have to have them stretched. No more purchasing footwear online, for me.

These shoes run small than posted size. Biggest issue is comfort. The insoles are thin. I even bought an aftermarket insole on top of this factory cushion and still not enough,

I needed a 12.5 size and thought a size 13 would work, it did not. Due to having the wrong size I can not comment on the size, width, and support items. What I can comment on is the horrible website to make a return with. I have been busy the size the order arrived and due to lack of time I have only been able to use the website which refuses to send me the return information. Still the Zappos database has no problem sending me sales updates and request for a good rating. I would stay away from this site as it is responsive to a customers issues.

The size chart does not match. I bought size 12, the instructions say the insole length is 28.4-29 cm, but in reality the boots have an insole length of 30 cm. I can't wear them because they are too big. I'm very upset

after buying Columbia products for over 35 years, this is the first item that has failed me. I broke these boots in walking around the office for the first summer I had them. Before I even got on the trail the sole on one started to separate. I put it down as a rarity and fixed it myself. I then went on a few hikes, less than 20 miles on these boots and the other sole started to separate as well. Pretty disappointing and not worth taking the chance of complete separation miles into the wilderness.

The main surface of the shoe upper is synthetic and not real leather. There is a tiny bit of suede as trim.

This is my third pair of Newton Ridge Boots, basically a new pair every two years. These boots are stylish, comfortable, and provide good tread for trails and sidewalks. I live in the rainy Pacific Northwest, and my first two pairs were nicely waterproof. The first time I wore my new boots on a drizzly day, they quickly soaked through during a one mile walk. Only pavement and dirt roads, no streams or serious puddles. These boots will surely not get me through the wet winter ahead. I'm disappointed.

Brought the same size as i did before. excess glue in the seems. "New" shoes looked worn. This pair didn't fit at all. Wasted my birthday 15 % off and never got that refunded as part of the return. Wasted my time and money just to repack and return them. Extremely disappointed. No one cares and the discount wasn't refunded to use on another purchase.

I wear 13 ee extra wide. These were tight just slipped on with the laces loose. So narrow that my tendons clicked together with each step. Still unlaced they were not comfortable at all. The search found them with 13 ee filter. Plus it says ee under size. These are marked as wide, sold as extra wide. Wasted time but eliminated the entire brand as a choice.
I'd also recommend:
any with a true EE

The fit was fine but the color description and photo were way off. This color looks almost cranberry in natural light, not anything near a brown shade.

Hated these boots. Returned them. extra glue around the seams and the seams were breached, way too tight for a real size 12. Wish i could have tried them on and given back to the ups driver when they delivered them. Extremely disappointed.

I was excited to get these as they were a replacement for boots that didn't fit me well and unfortunately the fit hasn't been much better with these either. I think my left foot is slightly longer than my right foot so that does make it difficult for me to find boots in a 14 that fit well. However the quality of these boots has been flat out the biggest disappointment. I don't think I'm going to rely on good reviews at least for boots on here anymore as these boots are not good quality. The soles are quickly getting chipped away and I've only had them for about 6 weeks now. The top of the boots are fairly easily scuffed, marked, and cut into. They also weren't very comfortable for the soles of my feet either. I would not recommend these boots for mountain hiking at all.
