Columbia Women's Newton Ridge Lightweight Waterproof Shoe Hiking Boot

I was hoping to be one of the people that were unbothered about the crease across the toes, but as soon as I put them on and walked across my house, they already started to pinch there. Had to return them.

I LOVE these shoes. They have been through the Smoky Mountains, the Allegheny Mountains, farm living, and now the Olympic National Park. I have owned them for three years and was so impressed I had to come back to write a review. Warning, there is a small break-in time but then they’re ready for endless adventures.Positives:-three years in, still waterproof! Spent five hours in the Hoh rainforest and nothing got in!-if you do end up accidentally stepping in water higher than the shoe top, they dry pretty fast.-if your feet swell while hiking, you can easily adjust the shoes.-the treads are still going strong! I accidentally melted one part from pushing around campfire logs, but that was my fault. Didn’t affect the functionality of the shoes though!-Easy to spray clean!-Nice ankle support and it’s adjustable.-my feet don’t hurt in these boots.Negatives:-if you want super fancy colors, these might not be the boots you are looking for.-if you friends care about fancy boutique shoe labels, you might get some eyebrow raises… but you can buy four pairs of these in different colors for the price of one of theirs.Basically, these are some tough, highly dependable, and durable boots. If something happens to them, you won’t be super bummed because they’re not ridiculously expensive. If you leave them somewhere, you’ll be sad but easily replaceable with the same amazing boots.When you have them for three years or more, you’ll thank me for your dependable adventure buddies.

This is my first hiking boot and i just got these in the mud/eve color. So far after walking around the house i love them! I usually wear a 8.5 in heels and 9 in flat shoes, sometimes i have to go with a 9.5 in sneakers and after reading reviews on going a half size up i went with the 9.5m and they fit perfectly lenght wise. They are a tiny bit roomy but i like that for adding thicker socks. The boots are VERY lightweight which i love and they are very cushy and comfortable with good ankle support. I read the reviews about the toe crease thing and i can feel it happening more so on my left foot than my right but the shoes are so soft i think after breaking in it will go away. Adding a thicker sock might help too. I will post an update after i go a hike with them!

I have purchased these boots multiple times (on the third pair of black ones). They have taken me all over the world. They are perfectly designed for my narrow foot and I can walk miles with them just out of the box - without any blisters. I never get sore feet. Perhaps I have a foot suited to the boots - or maybe they are just great hiking boots. My last trip I walked more than 200 miles in the Algerian Sahara on really rough rocky terrain - I wore them every day for every mile and then bought another pair as soon as I got home. I figured they earned their retirement after that trip. They are waterproof, comfortable, nice looking (not overly tech) and with the hooks for the last two laces they are pretty easy on and off in the airport. I did trip once (at the airport ironically) when the loop of one boot hooked on the other boots top hook - so tie them twice to not have large loops - or I am clumsy.They are also really light weight - and love the suede feel of the exterior. They clean up pretty good as well with a damp cloth although the boots do get scuffed and scratched up a bit - character. They have great cushion - but not too much that they feel bulky - and great ankle support yet feel flexible. Basically they are perfect and I wear them traveling and for work (on construction job sites) in any weather and everywhere else!! I am sure I will keep buying them and I hope they keep making them.Photo is after climbing a 500 ft. tall dune - resting at the top! They didn't even have too much sand (ok they had a lot of sand) in them after that. Love these hiking boots - thank you Columbia!!

Color is true to image posted to Amazon in description. Shoe is lightweight and comfortable. Did not have to break them in - THANK GOODNESS!!!

Excelentes botas, las lleve a Perú en mis ultimas vacaciones y resultaron muy comodas y funcionales, son buenas para senderismo, totalmente impermeables (las meti a varios cuerpos de agua de baja profundidad y no se mojaron ni un poco de la parte interior y de la exterior se seco muy rapido), tienen un gran agarre y brinda soporte a los tobillos.Son una gran compra.

This is my second pair of boots, I liked them so much I bought the pink also, perfect for the fall weather, waterproof, warm, stylish, very comfortable..true to your size..very good buy, very good traction on the sole..10 out of 10
