Columbia womens Newton Ridge Plus Waterproof Amped

These boots were comfortable, felt well manufactured, looked good. The only reason I returned was because of sizing. I bought a 10.5 but if I had listened to the reviews & bought my usual 10 they would have fit perfectly. They were just too long and unfortunately by the time I went to order the smaller size the sale price was over. They felt secure on, the tread was substantial and grippy, they did not make my large foot look gigantic. Ordered my usual size from another seller still offering a lower price.

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.

I love these shoes. Great for winter hiking-true toi size.Great quality.I usually buy much more expensive hikers but wow am I impressed! Feel great after a 4 hour hike.Not much snow to rate them yest, nor in really cold weather (yet) but that's the plan.

After looking through all the reviews on women's hiking boots, I chose these for a trip I have coming up this summer. I thiught I'd have to break these in... NOPE. I have had a knee replacement last year, a hip replacement 10 years ago, a broken foot last year and have back issues so I have a little "swagger" when I walk. I was on my feet all day in Hokas and put these on for errands...wow! These were supportive and super comfortable! They're sturdy yet lightweight. I wear a women's 12 so I usually have to buy men's shoes and I was elated to find the "girly" colors too! I got the light vanilla with pink laces and I adore them! My feet are happy for these too! Slip resistant and provide excellent ankle support. They stayed tied and didn't slip on my foot at all! No pincjong on the toe so the toe box is perfect width and the entire shoe is not too big and not too small! I love these!

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!

I’ve been using these hiking boots (this is my second pair of boots) for several outings, and overall they have performed very well. They feel sturdy and well made, and the materials seem durable. From the first use, they provided good support and comfort without causing discomfort or pressure points. The traction is reliable on different types of terrain, and they offer good stability while walking on uneven surfaces. I also appreciate the fit, which feels secure without being too tight. They are easy to put on and adjust. So far, I’m satisfied with the quality and performance. They meet my expectations and are a good option for hiking or outdoor activities.

Loved these boots. Purchased these for a recent trip to Iceland so needed shoes that were comfortable and completely waterproof. These boots were both. I was concerned that they would need some “breaking in” but they were comfortable right out of the box. I wore socks that came above my ankles to act as a buffer between my skin and the top of the boot to prevent any irritation. We were on an active tour and these kept my feet warm and a dry as I walked the wet streets of Reykjavik and walked to and behind various waterfalls and beaches. They are true to size but I went up a 1/2 size because I knew I’d be wearing them with thick wool socks. It was a perfect fit. After a week In Iceland, I did not have one blister or irritation. A great boot and I highly recommend!!!

These hiking boots did not disappoint. I have wide feet and these boots have not given me any problems. I bought them for a trip I’m planning to Ireland next year. In the meantime, I ended up planning a trip to Colorado and hiking to hanging lake. This hike is pretty tough for non hikers. These boot had great arch support (I have high arches), great ankle support and great traction! I didn't even “break in” these boots. My feet felt GREAT! Not sore, no blisters, no plantar fasciitis flare up, just warm, dry, happy feet!
