Customer Reviews Columbia Newton Ridge Plus Waterproof Amped

These fit perfectly and look great! I typically am all about Keens but decided to try these because I loved the look of them and I'm so glad I did! These are perfect for living in the mountains and going on my weekly hikes =) As always Zappos deliveries are the best!

Obsessed. So comfortable and cute. Not to mention affordable. Ordered 8 wide...true to size. Did great on a steep hike. No breaking in needed. Love, love these. Order them!

Great shoe.

I use an insert for arch support. I am an 8N and ordered a size 8 and found it true to size as my insert I put in all my size 8 shoes fit into it easily. I love these boots. I have walked back and forth across the park in our city and walked on sidewalks too and they're stable and comfortable. The style is great, I wish I could have the blue ones but they're obviously popular! I may switch out the laces on the brown ones because I'm so-so on the classic red laces and would rather have a more modern, neutral look. They seem better constructed than more expensive shoes and are a great value. The downside: they are hot. They heat up my whole body wearing them. They're for more cooler weather for sure. That's my only note, not a complaint but an observation. I am now still searching for an any-season, warm or cool, rain or shine, waterproof sneaker, my eternal search after Merrells and Keens have failed to impress.

These boots were very comfortable straight out of the box. I wore them the night before a hike for an hour or so to break them in a bit. Then wore the next day for a 3 hour hike and they were very comfortable the entire time. I'm glad I read other reviews that said they run narrow and purchased the wide width. Overall a nice comfortable hiking boot for a fairly reasonable price.

I had almost given up ever finding a reasonably priced hiking boot for my narrow foot, but shortly before a trip, my husband encouraged me to give these boots a try. I am sure glad I did! I tried to break them in a little before we left, but I didn't get to wear them much before giving them a true test. My orthotics slid into the boot easily and enabled me to comfortably hike five, solid hours up and down many steep hills. The only thing that hurt at the end of the day was my hip flexors, but that has nothing to do with the boots (everything to do with a body not accustomed to such lengthy hikes).

I have a narrow foot and most hiking boots don't come in narrow so I ordered regular width. They seemed to fit fine as long as I pulled the laces tight. I typically wear 9 1/2 or 10. I ordered the 10 and probably could've gotten away with the 9 1/2, but I figured I would be wearing heavier socks with them so I kept them. I ordered the elk mountain red and love the color, although I loved all three colors that were shown and probably would've been happy with any of them. They seem like they'll keep my feet very warm. I put them on with heavier socks (in the house) for about an hour and my feet were very warm. I only gave them a 4 for comfort because I've only worn them around the house. Will be doing some hiking in October, so that will be the test on warmth and comfort.

These boots are even more comfortable than expected! I’m glad I went up the half size just for extra socks if it’s cold and how your feet slide forwards when hiking downhill especially. These are WONDERFUL!!! Love them!!

Awesomeness

I bought these boots for my recent trip to Iceland. They were perfect! I didn't have time to break them in and was expecting blisters but didn't get any! I wore them on a glacier hike, lava cave tour, walking excursions and just walking about the city. They're great! I usually wear a size 7.5 so I bought an 8 and wore wool socks with them. I definitely recommend them.
