Nice looking hiking boots! Cant wait to try these on a hike, but so far they seem comfortable and sturdy. They seem warm, but hopefully will be ok for summer mountains too.

I purchased these boots over 3 years ago and have over 300 miles on them. They are now starting to let me know its time for a New pair. These have been my most sturdy, most comfortable and reliable hiking boots I have ever had. I have 4 diff hiking boot brands from ASICS, Salmon and KEENs and I choose my Columbias every time when I am doing a more challenging hike esp when I need ankle stability and support. You will not go wrong with these boots, from a beginner to more of an experienced hiker. Plus when they said theyre waterproof they are! Without being too hot even when wearing hiking socks! I would know living in the Pacific Northwest ( PCW). You will not be disappointed with this purchase!

I have a wide, square foot. The left boot fit perfectly, but the right was a little tight in the toe box. I am exchanging for one size larger with fingers crossed that these will work out. They are light weight and I liked the color and the left one was very comfortable and did not seem like it would take a long time to break in.

Fit just right. Ordered a size 8 to accommodate thicker hiking socks. Great ankle support. Well made, high quality boot. Also love the classic color combo. They are a bit heavier than I am used to, but imagine that will just take some time and breaking in.

I got these for Christmas from my daughter back in 2022. These have been so good to my feet on the long trails and high peaks in Southern California. A year and a half later I noticed the bottom a little worn out. So I needed a new pair. I bought a pair of Merrell hiking boots, they fell apart in 3 weeks. So here I am buying a new pair of Newton Ridge boots. I am looking fwd to my adventures in the mountains and deserts with something I can trust. Only thing is I am sizing up to a 9.5. I am a 8.5 foot size. Trek On!

Had a pair given to me. Tried them out for a year. Still look good. Feels good on feet. I can hike for miles! They fit really well. I usually wear 6-1/2. I wear 7 in these boots. The only reason I gave 4 instead of 5 is they are a little heavy.

I have researched, worn, and bought Danners (which I do love just as much for serious backcountry trail work), Vasque, Crispi, Merrill, etc. I am happy to spend $$$ on great outdoor gear, especially shoes but turns out I can buy $100 pair of Columbia Newton Ridges and put them through the ringer for a couple of years with zero complaints. I wear them through rain, sleet, snow, sunshine, mud - all the elements. Never have blistered in a pair of these. I think they are the absolute best you can buy for the money if you are looking for a solid all-around hiking boot.

Great shoe! A bit stiff, though. Maybe it's because I'm used to softer boots and shoes.

Theyre cute but not particularly comfortable. My feet hurt after a few miles of hiking and I have blisters. They run small/narrow also. Maybe I would have preferred a bigger size.

I waited until I was able to really test these out before leaving a review. They worked well as I hiked in my woods going up some very steep terrain. They gripped well even with piles of leaves between the boot and the dirt. Very comfortable and supportive feel.

Ive bought these in several colors and I love them all. Comfortable, true to size, good quality, cool for wearing for everyday as well as hiking. The more colors the better.

These are great boots. Wore them in the snow and bits of ice this week and felt very secure in them. They are quite rigid, however, and my feet feel very squeezed in, despite getting wides. However, functionality-wise they are excellent. My hope is that eventually they'll break in and then they'll be perfectly comfortable. Also the colors are really cute.

These boots are great looking and look well made. I have only had them for a month but I have been wearing them as much as I can to see how they feel. Plenty of room in the toe box. My feet have stayed warm. Walking on an icy deck has been safe with a decent grip. We will have snow in the next 24 hrs. So I can test them. I gave them 4 stars as I wore them all day walking, shopping around town and they could have a little more heel support, but that is easily resolved with an insert. Otherwise they are comfortable! I will see how they wear this winter. These are my first water proof boots as we plan to go to Alaska this August 2024 and it may be rainy. I will try to give an update on how they do.

I bought these boots back in October. I never been happier with a pair of boots/shoes ever! They are true to size, very comfortable, supportive, very waterproof and breathable! I have multiple foot issues and these here boots have helped me a lot! I highly recommend these for anyone and plan to buy a couple more pairs when the opportunity arises!

Hands down my favorite boots. For work, for hiking, for shopping, for everything. So comfortable I find myself grabbing them over my running shoes. Waterproof, great in mud and warm. If there is a downside, it would be lacing them up and unlacing them can be a pain, but Im soon to find a way to make the process easier as I would prefer to wear these boots over most shoes I own. The wide sizing is great and fits my block feet wonderfully :D 10/10 WOULD recommend.

These Columbia hiking boots (note that the cinder/timber color is a deep plumb for the base) fit and look good, but Merrell has my heart for their design, comfort, and sturdiness.
If you prefer lightweight materials and less cushion however, then these Columbia Newton Ridge Waterproof Amped boots are for you! p.s. I haven’t yet had the opportunity to test their waterproofing.
I'd also recommend:

I have worn these boots to hike to the peak of Mt. Lassen, and recently used them in Hawaii. Hunting the Big Island near Mauna Loa, mean LOTS of volcanic rock. Not only were these boots incredibly comfortable, but they held up on the lava rock. I didnt have to worry about skipping or rolling my ankle. Not to mention these boots had NO break in time- wore them right out of the box. Lava will tear through any shoe, so this wear is expected after a few days of use. But no complaints, buying another pair now!
