Columbia Women's Newton Ridge Plus Waterproof Amped Hiking Boot

This is my third pair of Columbia hiking boots I’ve ordered through Amazon. The first two were exactly the same and they have been my favorite and most comfortable pair of hiking boots. I at times hike long and through rough terrains (15-20 miles), and my boots have been good to my feet. Rarely do I get a blister which is likely when doing long hikes but it has been very rarely and feel it has to do more with the pair of socks that I used that were new and did not go well. Anyway, this time when I reordered by boots they no longer carried the exact boot and for them in a slightly different color and they look a little different but it is still the same great boot. They are water resistant, have great grip, good ankle support, make me look badass, and they protect my little feet :). I also like they come in wide.

I tried these shoes on locally so that I could purchase the proper size. After purchasing two pair of Hoka and returning them I needed some assurance. These shoes are comfy I opted for going up 2 sizes to accommodate custom insoles and thick socks. I love a more roomy feel, but my feet don’t slip around in the boot, I lace them up snug but not too tight. These didn’t require any breaking in, they were great right of the box. The price was a steal I got them for less than $50. Very important as I’m not sure I’ll need them much, the boots were purchased for a one time hiking trip so we’ll see if I like hiking or the boots enough to keep them in use! The boots seem durable although I haven’t worn them much. I do think they are nice looking, light enough for being a boot and functional.

This photo is from after a full week of being a sponsor at a very rainy, very muddy week of church camp. These boots got muddy and very wet multiple times. I did not clean them or even wipe them down...they just repelled all the mud and water off themselves. It's magical. Aside from their magical properties, the fit and quality of these boots are incredible. The toe box is wide enough for my toes to feel very comfortable and not squished at all. I wear long socks with these, and my ankle doesn't get rubbed raw or feel sore/tender, even after wearing these all day for a week straight. These boots also have a great amount of support. As far as functionality, I can vouch for these being a great option for muddy, wet, rocky, and flat environments. They feel about as light as a normal pair of shoes, so it doesn't feel like you're having to drag your feet around. The colors are beautiful, too! I've had these for about a year, and they've stayed as vibrant as they were when I got them. If you're looking for a pair of hiking boots that are high quality, comfortable, aesthetically pleasing, feel like they will last a very long time, and won't break the bank, buy these shoes!

These are legit! I have worn them in rain, gone through mud and walked down slippery paths with little pebbles. I feel sturdy, have stayed COMPLETELY dry, and my feet stayed warm. I am really impressed by the support that these provide too. I had stepped on my foot wrong and these were the only shoes my foot would tolerate for two months. They are very durable, easy to walk in and almost no break in period. I only needed to break them in ever so slightly where the back part of the shoe touched my ankle. It rubbed funny, but after a few uses I don’t have that problem anymore. The shoelaces are also incredibly sturdy. I have pulled on them pretty hard and they can handle pretty much anything.

I recently purchased these hiking shoes and I must say, they have been a game-changer for my outdoor adventures. Even though the temperature tends to be a bit warmer than I prefer during hikes, the breathability of these shoes has kept my feet surprisingly sweat-free. Not only are they functional, but they're also super cute. The design is stylish and eye-catching, which is a nice bonus for someone like me who values both fashion and functionality. What truly sets these shoes apart, though, is the level of comfort they provide. I have wide feet, so opting for the white sides was a brilliant choice as they offer the width I need without compromising on style. Durability is a key factor for me when it comes to hiking shoes, and these shoes do not disappoint. They have withstood various terrains and challenges, proving to be up to the task. The laces are excellent, ensuring a secure fit throughout the entire hike. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the color of the shoes matches the picture perfectly, which is not always the case with online purchases. Speaking of fit, these shoes have nailed it. They fit like a glove, providing the necessary support and comfort to make each step enjoyable. Based on my experience, I wholeheartedly recommend these hiking shoes to anyone in need of a reliable, stylish, and comfortable companion for their outdoor explorations.

Heel fijne schoenen! Al op meerdere wandelkampen meegegaan, net als op vele vakanties. Vulkanisch gesteente, modder, gravel, overal kunnen deze schoenen tegen. Heerlijk stevige schoenen. Ze zijn hun geld zeker waard!

I bought these instead of snow boots for a snow trip, as I would only use snow boots once but have a decent hike later in the year and could do with new boots. So glad I did! They were totally waterproof in the snow without any extra waterproofing. Very comfy right it of the box. Size 10.5 fits like a 10.5 should, I don’t really agree it’s 41.5EU, as I’m usually 42 EU at least. If anything they are not very structured for a hiking boot, but I am happy with that as I prefer to use my feet and ankles to hen I hike rather than have a fully structured boots that you can’t feel the surface in. Also did not slip in the icy ground! Happy with my purchase.

my feet always feels hot and even sweat when wearing them in the winter. (under -20 Celcius degrees)

They are a perfect fit. I wear Rockports in a size 8 wide and these in 8 wide are the same fit. Comfy. There is a little extra room in the boot (like an extra 10%) when wear them with a thin sock (especially in the toe area). But even then you can lace to the fit you want. There is no slipping at all. Attractive. Give great ankle and arch support. And look great too.

Parfait après essais randos. J'ai testé ces chaussures en monté et en descente en Vercors (sentier raides) parfait, Pas mal aux pieds, pas mal aux ongles. Tout est parfait. Je recommande comme montagnards avertis (25 ans de guide). Bien choisir sa pointure et c'est bon.
