My Reliable Companion: Columbia Men's Newton Ridge

Reviewed in the United States on April 19, 2024

Size: 9.5Color: Graphite, BlackVerified Purchase

Let's talk about the Columbia Men's Newton Ridge Plus – a trusty companion that's been by my side on countless outdoor adventures. Whether I'm out on the water for a fishing trip or hitting the trails for a hike, these shoes have proven themselves time and time again.

What I appreciate most about these shoes is their versatility. They're just as comfortable navigating rocky trails as they are wading through streams, providing reliable traction and support every step of the way. And let me tell you, the waterproofing is no joke – my feet stay dry even in the wettest conditions.

But beyond their performance, these shoes offer a level of comfort and security that's hard to beat. The snug fit and cushioned support keep my feet feeling great, even on long days out in the wilderness.

I can confidently recommend the Columbia Men's Newton Ridge to anyone in need of reliable footwear for their outdoor adventures. Trust me, these shoes won't let you down.

Let me know if this fits what you had in mind, or if you'd like any adjustments!

not a workhorse shoe, more of a casual boot, water resistant tongue

Reviewed in the United States on February 4, 2024

Size: 11Color: Ti Grey Steel, RocketVerified Purchase

The media could not be loaded.

TLDR: Tongue is a bit water resistant, outsole has soft rubber (potential durability issues), eh plastic coated leather, comfortable

The important thing to note is that this shoe is not a workhorse boot. If you were planning to wear this for an everyday 9-5 warehouse job, serious hikes often, or for labor work every other day, this shoe isn't for you. While the shoe is decent, it lacks the longevity that you want in a workhorse shoe. It does work in a pinch, but expect the outsole to wear out quickly and with the poor quality PU coated leather, don't expect much. But if you want a comfortable water resistant boot that you wear for the occasional hike, around town for whenever it rains, or just for casual house work, this boot is quite good.

Build:
The shoe, in terms of build, it is alright. The leather is not soft and supple, but more of the quality you would expect from shoes around its price range (plastic coated non top grain leather). The outsole and midsole are cemented onto the body of the shoe, which does limit its longevity but it does make it waterproof when compared to if you stitched them. I am a bit worried about the outsole, which is made of a softer rubber. While this does make it grippier, this limits its longevity as well. Its soft enough where you can slightly bend/move the tread with your thumb, mostly in the parts with thinner tread. The places where you loop your shoelaces are made of metal, probably aluminum or similar. Shoelaces are alright, maybe won't last as long as you would want for a boot, but workable. There is a moderate amount of padding around the sides of your ankle and on the tongue. There is some polyester mesh like but tighter woven lining in the entire interior of the shoe to make it more comfortable. Overall pretty average.

Stability:
If you tie the laces tight and use all the lace loops, it has decent stability. I tried intentionally roll my ankles and it definitely helped. I'm not sure how it would handle if I was carrying something heavy though. It has a rigid heel counter to help keep your foot in. Overall decent.

Comfort:
Honestly a very comfortable shoe. It feels closer to wearing a light boot instead of a heavy duty boot. I liked that the insole and midsole conformed to your foot a bit and isn't too soft or too hard. If you use your thumb to push the insole and midsole from inside the shoe, it gives a little bit but then gets too hard if you try to push further. The shoe is also fairly light for a boot. Significantly heavier than a sneaker, but not up to the level of a heavy duty boot. I could imagine myself wearing the shoe often and walking in them for a while.

Waterproofness:
The shoe is definitely waterproof in the leather parts but the tongue I was worried more about since it mesh. The tongue is gusseted up to the first hook (or right after the 4 triangles for the laces). The gusset was designed to not pool any water and to make the water flow downward toward your toes. I wouldn't say the tongue is waterproof, but is a bit water resistant. I wore the shoe in light to moderate rain outside. I checked the weather and it was around 0.04 to 0.09 inches of rain per hour during the time I conducted the test. I made sure not to cover the shoe with anything and stuck my leg out into the rain diagonally. The shoe was basically in the rain without my upper leg or body blocking the rain. After 17 minutes or so, I finally noticed some dampness inside the shoe where the tongue connects to the shoe upper. In the upper parts of the tongue, when I squished the tongue from the outside, I noticed that the inside went from dry to damp. This means that the tongue is some water resistant mesh or soft shell and that water will soak through with enough time in the rain. This also means the tongue is breathable. In the vid I poured maybe 2 cups of water onto the tongue (vid only showed 1 pour) and the shoe was still dry inside.

I think with an umbrella, the shoe will be water resistant enough for your casual needs in continuous rain for the day. Its weakness is continuous direct water keeping the tongue saturated. I also think it will be fine if youre quickly crossing short streams or puddles once in a while and letting it dry out after before doing it again. It should be probably fine if youre going from your car to your house, to work, maybe 5 blocks, or any short journeys without an umbrella

I do not think this shoe will keep you dry if you are walking a lot without an umbrella. Or if you do have an umbrella but a significant portion of the rain is still hitting your shoes because of your height or wind and you are walking for longer distances. At that point you might as well either wear a gaitor that covers the tongue, super breathable shoes that dry quickly, a full rubber rain boot, overshoes, or waterproof socks

Sizing

Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2024

Size: 7.5 WideColor: Elk, BlackVerified Purchase

I ordered these initially in a size 7 which is generally what I wear in a men's size. They were too narrow and too short. I returned and reordered in a 7.5 wide. UPS was finally able to get down our road almost a week late after the county finally plowed it this morning! The new ones fit fantastic! Put them on with the socks I like wearing and they are not only comfortable but cute. I got the men's as opposed to the women's because of the sole. I need non-stick, but tread that doesn't hold everything! The men's fit that need better. Makes me wonder why they change the sole type from women's to men's?

Ordered my size, but in "wide", they fit great, and comfortable, right out of the box. probably didn't need the wide, there's a little room left for toes to wiggle. I believe they are true to size.

Outstanding Value

Reviewed in the United States on March 19, 2024

Size: 9.5 WideColor: Cordovan, SquashVerified Purchase

This is a fantastic boot for the money. I normally take a 9W and went a half size up to accommodate thicker socks if needed. The boot was comfortable from the first walk to more adventurous hikes on rocky trails to walking up to snow covered ski trails. It did not require a break in period. We purchased two more pairs for family members and they were equally satisfied. Amazon fast shipping and in stock on wide sizes is a major plus.
