Customer Reviews Columbia Newton Ridge Plus Waterproof Amped

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.

Only giving them three stars because I had to return them they were so small. I bought a 10 but it fit like 9. Disappointed because I really loved the color scheme and they look like they're solid boots.

Sadly- in the process of returning these. Love the look and overall quality. Needed/bought wide but the toes are still too narrow. So much ouch! Definitely not a Cinderella fit for me.

So I wanted to wait to review these as a big thing for me personally is how hiking boot's hold up on trail and over time. I bought these boots as they had a completely closed off toe and I am rough on the toe's of hiking boots, I usually rip them if they are mesh. The appeal to me was they were closed toed, had ankle support, had decent reviews, and they looked cute. Unfortunately, these boots initially started out pretty comfortable for a quick day hike, however I do not recommend these if you are doing any serious/long distance/rocky hiking. It was noticeable from the start, but now with a little wear down, you are able to feel any rock that you step on through the soles of the shoe. The ankle and little bit of arch support don't really hold up either once you break the shoes in a bit sadly. We recently this weekend did another section of the Devil's Path on the East Coast and my feet were really banged up from this time around. If you are looking long term and to hold up to rough trails, this may not be the best choice in my personal experience.

Boots were not sized correctly. I ordered an 8 but I think these were mismarked. They fit like a size or more smaller. Had to send them back AND pay $$ for shipping. I tried the same pair in a different color in a store and the 8 fit perfectly. That is why I think this pair was mismarked.

Love the style and the color. I wore them once and they are really warm, probably a bit too warm for Bay Area weather that my feet started to sweat after a while. I hope the boots are a bit more breathable because of that. Also this might be a coincidence: I slipped and fell when walking on a wet wood staircase while wearing these and now I am not sure how about the grip. After all I only wore them once, will continue to observe their performance.
