Men's Newton Ridge Plus Ii Waterproof Hiking Shoe

Would like to rate a 4.5 only issue is the gusseted tongue where it’s stitched and sealed needs to come up higher to the topmost eyelet. This could be potential water seepage, unless you wear waterproof pants that are able fall down to cover at least the top three eyelets of boot. As weather forecasted, so far was only able to wear it in a drizzle during New Year 2026 in SF. Have not experienced heavy down pour; I believe if you wear long waterproof pants as explained above, you should be fine. Besides that, Columbia is a great outdoorsy brand that I have always respected. Everything is true as advertised. I’m truly happy with it, great traction (slip-resistant not tested) great ankle support for long range, very comfortable, not so bulky or heavy. If you’re hiking in moderate rain or wet misted lands or through small trickling creeks of a couple inches, you’ll be fine. Not meant for wading through flooded areas or neighborhood. Not heavy duty rated for warfare as well, lol. I think would be great for weekend fishing or camping or hunting with loved ones. Planning to buy second pair. Thank you for your time reading.

These men’s shoes from Columbia are very comfortable right out of the box. Lightweight but well-made, with good support and a solid sole. They fit true to size and feel stable when walking for long periods. The materials look durable, and the shoes hold their shape well. A great option for everyday wear and casual outings.

These are exceptional in terms of quality, value and comfort. They are very very comfortable and snow/icy sidewalks had me satisfactorily checking out traction and long walks where comfort shined. Even with a medium height cuff, they are easy to slip into. I travel into Canada regularly and these hikers hit all the targets. Stylish for say, dinner out, sloppy frozen Montreal sidewalks in slush 3-4 inches deep feet dry, and for hiking to a lake in Laurentians. Columbia 100% satisfaction.

Comfortable right out of the box. Fits well, and true to size. The tread is grippy on a variety of surfaces and terrains. They proved to be waterproof as I crossed streams and shallow ponds of water. My only gripe is the laces and hooks. The laces are longer than I’d like, and the hooks are large enough to accommodate the laces and then some which creates a hazard. Having tucked the laces in after tying them, they became untucked while hiking. This became an issue when the loop from the right boot lace caught the left boots top hook and proceeded to toss me forward to the ground as if some had tied my laces together resulting — not fun. Otherwise, the boots are great. They look and feel great, and are well worth the cost.

Super comfortable! Warm and water resistant im these Michigan Winters!! Highly recommend. I went a 1/2 size larger than my normal and they fit nicely.

Had the boots only about one week. Broke in easy/ good, My feet are not real wide so some I get in 12 and some in 12 wide read reviews that said these run a little narrower ordered 12 wide I am glad I did they fit good. Good arch support, light and comfortable. Time will tell how they hold up.

I have purchased these boots in the past and I will keep buying them. Here’s why you should too: 🟢 MY PROS: 🔴 MY CONS: ——————— ———————— #1. GREAT PRICE 💰 #1.

Great boots! Ordered them for my dad who was looking for shoes to wear to his factory but that also look good and that are reasonable. That’s why he rejected the idea of steel toe shoes. He finally narrowed down on this one since it was a good balance of aesthetic + functionality + cost. He has slightly wide feet and is prone to pronation since he is flat footed. But he’s found these to be quite comfortable. He’s been wearing them to the factory almost everyday and loves them so far.
