Columbia womens Newton Ridge Plus Waterproof Amped

I am very impressed with the Columbia Women’s Newton Ridge Plus Amped boots. True to size. Right out of the box they were incredibly comfortable, with no break in period needed. The cushioning and support make them easy to wear for long walks, hikes, or all day errands without foot fatigue. The traction feels stable and secure on different surfaces, and the boots are lightweight while still feeling durable and well made. They provide great support without feeling stiff or heavy. For the quality, these boots are an excellent value for the money. They perform like much more expensive hiking boots while still being stylish enough for everyday wear. Overall, they are super comfortable, reliable, and a great investment.

The best hiking boots ever!! Very comfortable style, waterproof and lightweight. I love them!! Totally recommended. The size is perfect for me.

I’ve been wearing these hiking boots for the past few months on trails and around town, and they were very comfortable from the start. The break-in period was non-existent (they were ready to wear right out of the box), and they provide excellent support for long walks. The grip is solid on both dry and wet terrain, and the boots feel durable enough to handle regular use. The waterproofing is excellent and my feet stayed completely dry, even when crossing a river! The boots are lightweight enough to wear for all day wear, but for longer hikes they may become a bit heavy feeling. They are true to size and width and have proven to be a great choice among the many options there are for hiking boots.

This is my second pair of these boots. The first, I still have been wearing for years. I decided to go again with what worked and here’s why: I’m a landscape designer and I also work at a plant nursery. I insist on comfortable waterproof boots ! These are both! I’m on my feet all day and in and out of situations with water, mud and rocks. These are the most comfortable boots I’ve ever purchased. I must emphasize, no break in time and feel great right out of the box! For the price, I’m amazed at the quality of these boots. I usually always wear a size 7 and I ordered 7’s and they fit perfectly! I also hike and fish in these boots and I’m very pleased at how they work for that as well!! Great value, but most of all best shoe for my work and lifestyle!

These are very comfortable and warm. They do run small and the wide is barely wide. My feet stay dry and they are light and easy to walk in. But the way the laces slide under the leather logo on the tongue is terrible. If snow is any higher than an inch, the tongues act like a snow scoop. And if it’s actively snowing or raining, the tongue funnels the wet right in!

Love these shoes and very comfortable. No break in needed. Great traction and true to size. Lightweight as well

Now that I’ve hiked about 50 miles (80km) in these boots, I can confidently recommend them. Not a loose thread in sight. I’ve hiked through creeks, I’ve submerged them in water AND mud. During a particularly treacherous hike, I had to walk through deep mud that covered the entire boot, laces and all. I used my water bladder from my hiking pack to rinse it, and it was back to looking fine. I didn’t take any special steps to clean or dry them, just kept hiking.They’re definitely waterproof, I’ve walked straight through the creek with no issues. I have a wider foot so I chose a wide and I’m glad I did. I feel like I could easily get another 50-100 miles out of these boots before they show any signs of needing replacement. They’re sturdy, the laces are nice and strong too. They’re not too heavy and they are able to fit wool socks into comfortably when I adjust the laces. I’ve even doubled up socks and made the fit. Still comfortable with my summer socks too. I did put in a Dr. schols insert in them just bc I tend to get plantar fasciitis but with the inserts in these boots I’ve actually never felt foot pain even on my longest adventures.

I’ve used these on many a hike, they look great and work great, protect my ankles, keep my feet dry and are very comfortable! Would recommend!
