Customer Reviews Columbia Newton Ridge Plus Waterproof Amped

These are a great looking boot. I typically wear an 8.5 WW. They are snug, but comfortable in the main shoe area. However, I am returning these. There is a seam on the padded collar that rubs right on my ankle bone, I can only imagine the blister after wearing these trekking through the wild.

They felt very comfortable, light weight and well supported ankles. I went on a 7-8 mile hike, felt great without any issues walking uphills. But after I got home I felt pain/sore of all my toes. Middle toes of both feet felt about to have blisters as if they were burdened with tremendous pressure. I got 1/2 size bigger than my actual shoe size just because I wear thick hiking socks. I do feel free and roomy with my toes. Wonder why my toes felt so painful? Poor padding? No arch support. I know my feet are lot happier with good arch support. Will try different socks next time I go on the same hike, if they give me same pain, sorry will have to go back.

I bought these as a gift for my girlfriend, and she really liked the look and feel. She tried them on right away , and said that they fit well!

I wanted to love these boots because I have a pair of 15 year old Columbia hiking boots that have been the best… just finally now falling apart. These were a tad too narrow for me in the toe box so sadly I had to return them.

I bought a lot of hiking shoes to try, and these were very very stiff. Although I know that stiff can be good for hiking, it was not my preferred style. Great looking and fitting shoes.

Where boot bends on top of boot when walking digs into my top of my toes. They didn’t work for me. :(

These are definitely decent boots for the price. I got them as every-day footwear for the winter, where I'm frequently walking in snow for short distances. The mid sole-outer sole combination is a bit hard for my liking and there's not much arch support. For "real" hiking on Colorado trails tho', I'll stick to my Keen Targhee Miss.

I have high arches and need more support than this boot provides.

I enjoyed the color of these shoes and that they are waterproof. But I noticed that after few hours of keeping them on I felt my toes aching a bit which is not good if I ever decide to use these for a longer hike.

These boots are well made. They are easy to get on as the tongue is attached which I’m not a big fan of. They are a little uncomfortable around the ankle due to the construction i’m hoping it will resolve after a few times wearing them. I went 3 miles today and my foot was fine it was my ankles that were uncomfortable. I wish ahnu was still made. Still searching but this is the best I’ve found so far
