Customer Reviews Columbia Newton Ridge Plus Waterproof Amped

Great waterproof shoes but run narrow... I like the color of the boots but had to return them

This is a very cute and comfortable boot, BUT the color in the picture is not the same in person. The picture gives orange but in person the boot is a very dull rust. Still cute, still gonna hike but it's not giving what is supposed to have gave.

This pair of hiking boots was bought for a trip to Scotland. Very cute, comfortable, fit well, wide width was exactly what i needed. Boot accomodated orthotic insert quite well. That being said, they were not waterproof AT ALL for me. Scotland was experiencing some above average rain, and on the day of my hike it took less than an hour for the rain to soak completely into my boots and leave my feet sloshing around in the water inside of the boot. Had to go back to hotel and change into my running shoes and I ended up having some variation of wet feet all week. The boots did not dry out for the rest of my trip, and came home with me still damp about 3 days later.

Im a size 6 and ordered 6.5 for extra room for socks. Used these for Yosemite and Sequoia and they are def well water proofed. However, they are not comfortable for deep incline or descent as my toes would hit the top. The toes area is hard! It needed cushioning. On flat surface they are comfortable.

I tend to size up when I know I will wear a thick sock. I'm typically a 7 so I went 7.5. I have bunions so tend to like wides. The 7.5W were swimming on me so I reordered the 7W but haven't received them yet. They were nice looking. hoping they arrive soon and the 7 fits.

Shoes are beautiful and amazing. That's why I'm so sad I can't have them! They produce wrong sizes! I am 36 and 6 is too big, 5,5 too small- even though they say it is even 36,5 (no way xd) and they say it is for foot 9in-like me. It is too small for 9in. They produce smaller shoes than they say, they don't produce size 36. They are perfect with width but slightly too short in front... :( Big minus for the company. I hope you will change that mistake!!!

I really like the style. However, the waterproof function needs improvement. My feet felt wet when standing in snow for a little bit longer.

The boot color is beautiful, as pictured. I ordered my regular size, but the boots felt way too big and wide to my foot. I recommend maybe ordering half size down if ordering in the wide style.

I bought this pair of hiking boots last year around this time, I usually wear them during 1-2 hours walk in the woods every week. I have been wear them for a couple days everyday recently and I found out the tip of the shoes broke my big toe nail horizontally in half, I know some people break their toe nails often due to others issues, but this have never happened to me until I wore these boots. I was so sad because the boots are in good condition and they are cute, but unfortunately they aren't designed for long walks or everyday wear.

I did not realize that this was pretty much the same boot I ordered almost 2 years ago. The only difference was this was the" amped" version. I'm not sure what the amped part is they are not extra cushy or extra warm? They are "ok" I would not have ordered these if I had thought they were the same boot. It's easier to keep them I guess. I'll probably give them to Goodwill. I don't really need a second pair of boots. I just thought they would be a better hiking boot.

For years I have been able to hike a solid hike with them straight from the box with reliable fit. This pair, the same size as always, was too voluminous. I must have made sock adjustments a dozen times, snugging the laces so my feet did not slide around. I finished the hike with sore ankles and tired legs from trying to stabilize. These are ok trail boots but the soles cannot withstand rocks without losing chunks here and there. I've stayed with them because of difficulty to find womens size 12 but I've noticed a deterioration in consistency of quality.
