Columbia Women's Newton Ridge Plus Waterproof Amped Hiking Boot

These hiking boots are fantastic. Love the color and look too. I got several compliments on them.Ordered them two days before we left for Glacier National Park, and they arrived just in time! Wore them the day we traveled to break them in, and they were actually pretty comfortable off the bat! I got the recommended size (7 - I'm normally a 6.5)Lots of room in the toe box without causing any blisters. Wore them with thinner socks and still felt great. They're awesome with thick hiking socks.I used them for several 6-8 mile hikes, up and down steep inclines and rough rocky terrain. Felt so sturdy - I never slipped or rolled my ankle once. I also stepped in a couple shallow creeks with them. Feet were still dry after crossing. The laces make the boots very adjustable. I wouldn't tie the tops too tight though, as this didn't feel great on my ankles.I'm a decently experienced hiker but have never actually had real hiking boots before - always just wore running shoes. These are a fantastic first choice.

Haven't worn these for hiking yet, only tried on and wore around the house. I need to break them in. But the fit is great, and the leather and suede are good materials, and I love the colors. Comfy insole. Sturdy construction, my feet will be safe in these! I bought a pair in Shark River Blue (dark blue with lighter blue laces) a year ago, and I bought these to have two pair on hand, this time in Stratus Canyon Rose (medium grey with pink laces!). Love the colors, great fit, so happy. PS I have super wide toes due to arthritis and bunyons, and these fit fine. Bought the Wide. I always size up 1/2 to 1 size in hiking boots (for me).

These are great shoes for novice hikers. I usually find mid-rise boots uncomfortable as they rub my Achilles tendon. These were great. Very supportive on some difficult hikes. Comfortable on sandy, dirt, and rock terrains. Colors are beautiful. I wore these around the house a few times before our trip, so no real break-in needed. I sized up half a size to accommodate for thick socks. If I order again I’ll get my regular size as my foot did slide some inside the shoe on descents. Obviously the lighter color shows more dirt, but that’s just a sign of fun adventures! I would 100% buy again.

My daughter and I hiked Olympia National Park for a week and these boots were the best! Light weight, sturdy yet comfortable. We climbed mountains, walked through wet rain forests and sandy pacific beaches. They scored at all locations. I thought I would save them for hiking only but now I wear them working in the yard, and mowing the lawn. My feet aren’t as fatigued with these boots as they are with my tennis shoes. I plan to buy another pair. I wear a 9.5 running shoe and the size 9 fit perfectly.

The fit is great, I went with an 11. I do wish there had been a wide option at the time of purchase as its a little bit tight on the top of my feet, but I'm hoping it'll get softer as I wear them more to break them in on walks and easy hikes. They're comfy for now but I'll have to wait and see how they do. Love the color, and overall pretty happy

These boots are great, very comfortable and supportive. But as soon as I got them out the box I knew they were worn. The edges of the felt fabric along with the logo have been worn down slightly. And the left boot has some mud stains on it and both boots have some rocks stuck in the soles. I don’t mind that they’re worn, but don’t advertise them as new if they’re not. Maybe that’s why they were 25% off..if you’re looking for brand new boots, they probably won’t be on sale.

5 years and thousands of miles later, I am absolutely thrilled with these boots. They’ve carried me through the dust of Arizona, snows of Montana, mountains of the Carolina’s, plenty of rains, waterfalls, and many other states. Whenever they get dirty, I wash them and they’re good as new. I’ll actually be sad when I will eventually have to get a new pair.

High quality hiking boots, I ordered the wide 5.5 because my feet sometimes swells after a long arduous trek and the wide option keeps my feet from forming blisters. If your feet hurt, it ruins your whole outing so don’t skimp on cheap boots.
