Customer Reviews Columbia Newton Ridge Plus Waterproof Amped

I recently bought these boots to wear to Disneyland for the day - yep, you read that right. Disneyland. It was expected to rain all day at the park and I didn’t want to be stuck walking around a large amusement park in wet, sloshy shoes so I invested in these boots. It was a gamble as they arrived the day before I was to wear them so they were new, right out of the box, on park day. I was pleasantly surprised - there was no break-in time needed. I wore these boots straight out of the box for almost 12 hours straight in the pouring rain and not only were my feet dry all day but they were never aching or sore. I suffer from plantar fasciitis in both feet and I was able to walk in these boots comfortably without my Superfeet insoles, which is a rarity. Good arch support! I normally wear a size 10 and these boots fit perfectly. I would highly recommend them - they held up great and they survived Disneyland on their first day! Not too shabby!

This boot fits my narrow foot well you do need to go a half size up

I purchased the wide version because I have bunions and wanted to wear warm socks with the shoes. They were very comfortable and warm with excellent traction. The nubuck grey is very pretty with the purple accents. They were very comfortable out of the box with no break in period needed. I will be wearing these as my primary shoes when enjoying the outdoors.

Fantastic fit and fantastic shoe!!! Normally wear size 7.5 and went with a size 8 after reading other reviews and the fit was perfect! Even with thicker socks,would recommend going up at least 1/2 a size. Super comfortable and waterproof as we were in snow and couldn’t have asked for a better shoe!!

Like everything about them.

I just got my coral blue pair and tried them on. The fit and size are perfect. Before ordering, I read reviews and there were a decent amount of people recommending to up one size larger but I chose not to and they fit perfect. If you're wondering, I'm a size 7 in vans and that's the size I stuck with for this pair. With thick socks, they're a little snug but it's nothing bothersome. Although, these are my FIRST hiking shoes and I have to admit, I've never done any serious hiking before so I'm not an expert on how hiking boots are supposed to feel like (but I am really tempted to hike now ?). I've only ever worn skating shoes so I'm not used to the sort of wedge these boots have in the back. Obviously there's no significant wedge but being so used to such flat shoes, I'll have to get used to these. I understand they're hiking boots so that's what they're probably supposed to be like but style wise, when I view them in the mirror from the front, they give the illusion that they're wedged sneakers (a style I personally despise). Overall, I still really like them.

I feel like these were my Cinderella shoes. My feet are very short and wide and these boots were absolutely perfect. They only required a week or so to break them in, and then they served me amazing well on a very steep hike! I was unprepared for the hike but these boots kept me on my toes (hah, hah). Seriously, great ankle support, good arch support, warm, definitely waterproof, maintained their overall look despite tramping through muddy territory, and the red laces are a nice touch (and make them stand out if you're looking for your boots in a pile!) Would definitely recommend.

The best purchase of 2019. This was a rush order for hiking the Grand Canyon with no time to break in. These boots did not disappoint! Kept my feet warm and my ankles supported for a hike in January. SUPER COMFORTABLE!!

Used for scout camping. Have proven to be water resistant, warm, and sturdy.

These shoes are fantastic! I wear almost nothing else if I can help it because my feet feel SO good when I wear them.

My daughter needed hiking shoes for scouts. This fit the bill very well.
