Title: Comfortable and Waterproof
Review: These Columbia Newton Ridge Plus boots are exactly as described. I ordered the Cordovan/Crown color. There was no weird smell when opening the box. The fit is true to size, they are comfortable right out of the box and they lived up to the waterproof label. Feet stayed completely dry! No blisters, no problems! Worth every dollar! I haven’t worn them a lot yet, but they seem to be durable. The style is cute for jeans, leggings or shorts.

Title: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Comfortable, Durable, and Perfect for Any Trail!
Review: The Columbia Women's Newton Ridge Hiking Boots have quickly become my go-to choice for outdoor adventures! These boots strike the perfect balance between comfort, durability, and style, making them ideal for both casual hikes and more rugged terrain.Right out of the box, they felt incredibly comfortable with no break-in period needed. The lightweight design means I can wear them for hours without feeling weighed down, and the cushioned insole provides great support, even on longer hikes. Plus, the waterproof feature has been a game-changer—I've hiked through puddles, rain, and mud, and my feet stayed completely dry.The grip on these boots is fantastic too. Whether I’m hiking uphill on rocky terrain or navigating slippery trails, they’ve provided excellent traction and stability. Not to mention, they’re stylish enough to wear around town after the hike!If you're looking for a reliable, comfortable, and waterproof hiking boot, the Columbia Newton Ridge boots are an outstanding choice. They’ve exceeded all my expectations and have kept my feet happy on every adventure. Highly recommend!

Title: Great Buy!
Review: I ordered these boots after a lot of research on footwear and I read A LOT of Amazon customer reviews. They are 100% worth the buy!They are comfortable, waterproof (to the extent I use them), and durable. I have my STATS in Amazon so they recommend what sizes I should buy based off reviews and this was spot on for these. I'm anywhere between a 9.5 & 10 and I got the 10 in these, per the reviews. Perfect fit. I wear compression style or regular calf high socks with them, not thick and they fit perfect.I also have weak ankles and non existent arches, overpronation is what it's called, along with on and off bunion pain from years of working in the restaurant industry and being on my feet ALL DAY/NIGHT.I work with my husband's landscape company and I needed something that was breathable, light weight, sturdy, waterproof ish, obviously fun colors was a plus! I wear these from mowing lawns, to fences, concrete mixing, patios and total yard redesign. So they are definitely getting beat on, plus I needed something to keep my weak ankles straight lol.100% recommend these. Will have to buy another pair so I have them on standby, cause I know when footwear gets that much use you should really swap it out sooner rather than later.Hope they have a fun fall/winter color to sport!

Title: Outstanding boots if you get the right size
Review: It took me 5 pairs before I finally got the right size for these. Most Columbia boots run small and narrow. I know this because I own two different types of Columbia snow boots. They are the only brand I wear for snow/winter for the last 20 - 30 years. I bought these assuming they would also run small, big mistake. If you buy the right size, when you put these on, you won’t want to take them off because they are that comfortable.I normally wear 9-9.5 medium width shoes. I purchased a 10 wide, a half size up from my usual shoe size range, to allow for my feet to have plenty of room with hiking socks and because the toes are on my right feet do not lay flat like my left foot. Your toes should not feel squished in any shoe. I got wide because Columbia are usually on the narrow side. My left foot is a medium width (almost narrow) and my right foot is medium width (almost wide).I also purchased Columbia hiking socks which feel amazing in these boots.Quarry is a very pretty grey color with black, light grey and blue accents. Such a pretty color combination.I will be wearing these to walk our dog on the trails in our neighborhood, which I do daily and are often swampy and even flooded in some areas. I was previously using my Brooks Ghost sneakers but too often coming home with mud, wet socks and saturated shoes. We mostly do trails but also mix in some sidewalk walking, so I needed a shoe that would be good on both. I will come back to update my review should they not work well. Super excited to wear them tomorrow on our morning walk through the woods.Update: 2/20/23I wore these yesterday for a 3 mile walk/hike through trails and on sidewalks walking a dog. They felt great while walking. I did notice that when I took them off, that my one hammer toe had redness from the top of the boots while walking but I never felt this while on the walk. A few hours later and my left knee has some strange pain while going up or down stairs. Next thing I noticed was some lower back pain and pain at the balls of both feet when I woke up this morning. Not sure that I will be wearing these often, maybe only on rainy days, but even then, I am not sure that the pain is worth it. I do have psoriatic arthritis in my knees but this pain is different, so I must have aggravated my knee somehow while wearing these hiking shoes. Debating on returning them because my brooks sneakers work great but I was specifically looking for waterproof and ankle support while on the trails.Update: 2/28/23I have worn these again and had success, no knee or back pain afterward. Not my favorite shoe for walking our dog on sidewalks and not as comfortable as my Brooks but they are waterproof and are saving me in the trails right now.

Title: Great boots
Review: I've had them for about 6 months now and I still love them. They are easy to put on, easy to clean, and easy to walk in. I didn't have a break in period which was great and they are overall a 10/10. I wear them daily for work and I can day they are comfortable and they don't hold in any smell. They also keep my feet warm in the cold and dry when it's wet.

Review: Muy cómodas, no lastiman las piedras, impermeables totalmente, la talla coincide sin problemas, no es necesario ni usarlas tiempo antes del senderismo porque no me dañaron para nada. No fueron usadas en la alta montaña, pero se les dió uso intenso y resistieron sin problema. Si llega a entrarles agua por inmersión completa tienen un secado super rápido.

Review: Bought these for a hiking trip through the mountains. Was looking for a pair of boots that were cute and comfy these are So comfy, and had a really short break in period. Wore them through shallow water and my feet stayed dry. Not sure how they would do in deeper water as the tongue is fabric. Would definitely recommend!

Review: Made on a woman's 'last' so woman's foot shaped... check!Sturdy.. check!Inside area around the big toe to instep will blow out if you spend a lot of time with your legs apart weeding.. so kneel on a knee pad instead. These last me two years of intense abuse while gardening and running around. Good quality.. this is my second pair and will buy again and again...
