Columbia Women's Newton Ridge Lightweight Waterproof Shoe Hiking Boot

Bought these to hike Alaska and I couldn't have asked for a better boot. they were comfortable, warm, stylish and I didn't need to break them in. They fit excellent and I would recommend them for sure.

The media could not be loaded. 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!

Ultimately, I ended up with my normal size and I would not recommend sizing up as many other reviews suggest. I am a size 8.5-9 (usually 8.5 in flats & pumps and most shoes but sometimes a 9 in boots and athletic shoes). So I bought these same boots in Sizes 8.5, 9, and 9.5. First I tried on the 9.5 because so many people said to size up ... and, on first impression, I thought they fit and I couldn’t imagine going down a whole size. However after wearing around the house, my arches began to ache and my feet felt like they had too much room in the toe box so I could tell they were going to rub and get blisters. I went down to the 9 ... again, they felt like they fit and didn’t think I could go down any more. I wore them around the house for a couple hours and noticed the toe box creasing painfully on top of my toe (instead of where they foot bends) as other reviewers mentioned. The arch support didn’t feel sufficient either. I went down to size 8.5 and my first instinct was that they were too tight. I felt my toe touch the end and some squeezing around the sides of my feet that I was afraid would get sore. However, I put my foot in barefoot and then I could feel my it actually had room to slide up and down about a half inch along the insole within the shoe when I wasn’t putting weight on it. When I stood up and tapped my heel to the back of the boot then, when I put weight on it, my toes did not touch the front. I think the back of the boot is quite padded and so it can take up space when you first step into the boot and push your foot forward. I put on thick hiking socks and wore them around the house for several hours. They did feel tight at first but yet were the most comfortable. The arch support was perfect, the toe creased in the right place (even when squatting or kneeling) and the foot was snug enough to not rub and get friction. Even though the side was still squeezing my right foot a bit, It did not get sore. So I kept the 8.5 and put them to the test crewing at an event in Miami where it was 90 degrees out and we were working with a 1600 degree fire and lots of water - therefore my boots needed to be genuine leather and waterproof. I was working on my feet in them for 4-5 hours in a wet, dirty environment and standing for long periods on hard pavement. These held up and did the job wonderfully. My feet were comfortable, safe, dry and blisterless ... and amazingly not sore. The grey leather also stayed impressively clean looking and was easy to clean off any dirt on them. So bottom line: I found to order true to size and let loosen up for best fit. As many say, they are comfortable right out of the box (almost like a running shoe) so don’t take extreme breaking in ... but don’t be scared off if they feel a little tight at first because leather is good quality and does soften. *However, I will say that there may be also slight size discrepancy between each shoe and/or the different colors. I tried an 8.5 in the tan/red version and those felt shorter and wider in the toe box than the grey ones.

Bought these boots for my daughter and she wore them on a 6 hour hike, up a mountain, without breaking them in first. She was able to do the hike easily with these boots, being able to have good traction to scale some boulders on the trail and walk over rocks as well as regular terrain. During and after, she did not experience any foot pain or blisters. I cannot comment on longevity as they are only about a month old, but the boots came in great condition (appear to be good quality) and the color was exactly as shown.

This boot is true to size... I originally followed other reviews that suggested to go a half size up. WRONG move for me.I then exchanged it for my true size, and the length was perfect.After using it for some time, this shoe is comfortable and of good quality.Traction is really good; seams are well stitched (double-stitched); colors are stylish.So far as being waterproof-- I was in a little but of rain, it held watertight. (But I wasn't able to test it through streams or puddles, yet.)Note 1: I did swap out the sole for one with an arch support-- as that makes a huge difference in my hikes. I do thisbfor all my shoes...Note 2: The ankles are extra-padded. It looks a bit bulky at first, but I know they'll flatten a bit-- and they're meant to protect my ankles from impact (from falls, or getting stuck in rocks, etc.)I do wish they made these in a taller height (maybe 8 inches) so I can feel a sturdier ankle support-- especially during strenuous hikes.However, as a day-hike boot-- and-- for the great fit and value of these, I have to say that I'm loving them! ❤️Columbia is my favorite brand for boots.... They still put out their great quality!

Comodísimas, calientitas, talla correcta, muy buena calidad del material. Justo lo que esperaba

Excellent

Las botas son muy cómodas y bonitas. Espero también que sean muy durables. Muy recomendables, pidan el número que normalmente usan.

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...

Muy cómodas,muy buena calidad, excelente presentación.
