ColumbiaMen's Newton Ridge Plus II Suede Waterproof Hiking BootLeather Working Group

The best boots I've ever had. Comfortable, lightweight, quality, and price. I own them in several colors.

My son loved these! Comfortable, held up great, great support, lightweight, did not need to break in & didn’t soak up water on our 7mi uphill hike in the mountains! Great price too!

Super comfortable. Great fit. Great quality. Excellent arch support which is important since I have flat feet.Highly recommend them.

Finally a Water resistant & waterproof shoe. Unfortnately they did not appear to be breathable. For so long the “waterproof” shoes I bought from Amazon seeped more & more water as they aged (in weeks) soaking the uppers, the inside, the insoles, my socks & my feet that I was excited to find these. After a morning hike the inside of the shoe was dry. The outside of my sock was dry but the inside was damp & my foot was wet. It was 70F w 97% RH. These shoes would be great at temps below 50F. So disappointing! Shoes were very comfortable & the friction cord in the laces was substantial & functional. Too bad I already have a fall/winter/spring boot.

Love these shoes! On feet on cement all day in automotive shop and these could not be more perfect! Stable sturdy comfort with no slip soles and do not make your feet too hot in the waterproof shoe! To top it off they look great as well!

These boots are a really good bang for the buck, they have a very short break in and have been holding up great for me so far! I find them incredibly comfortable and fairly supportive/stable. The 2 issues I have is the upper metal clamps that holds the shoe lace in place can bend out of place occasionally. The other issue is your feet can get hot especially on hotter days. For background I use these boots at work I’m walking/standing most of my 40 hour week. I do a lot of hikes with them as well. Some hikes I have done with these boots are- around 40 miles worth of hiking at the grand canyon and Sedona AZ. 25-30 miles at the new river gorge. And probably 50 miles intermittent around my house in western Pennsylvania. There’s no signs of significant wear yet.

I’ve used these boots for working in construction in snow/ cold for 4 years now. I need flexibility, waterproof, warmth and arch support. These have held up perfectly. I only replace them when I wear the soles out in about six months. But I really put them to the test. They’ve never once allowed water in, torn or come apart. I love the fact that they’re very flexible I can bend down kneel down and they’re not stiff or heavy. I do not need steel toe boots for my work. I also have plantar fasciitis and these are by far the most comfortable boots or shoe I’ve ever put on and I keep a second pair for casual wear. Like any other waterproof shoe or boot they can be a little bit hot if it’s not cold outside, so I wear some type of wool sock to pull moisture away. Traction is pretty unbelievable. I work a lot on ladders slippery icy surfaces and they are just perfect. I hope Columbia reads this- Please don’t change them.

nice boots
