ColumbiaNewton Ridge Plus Waterproof Amped womens Hiking Shoe

Loving it!

Love them. My second pair, and I will be back when they wear out.

I was very pleasantly surprised at how comfortable these were straight out of the box! I’ve been wearing them consistently to prepare for a hiking trip & haven’t had a single day of uncomfortableness, blisters, etc. I love them!!

I wore these for a week hiking on various trails in the Blue Ridge mountains. No matter how tightly I tied the boots I couldn't not get to the point where I felt the ankle support was secure. More than once on a rocky trail I was afraid I had injured my ankle. And going down hill in these boots is an experience. I ordered the size I normally wear and maybe I needed half a size down. My foot would slide all over the place while going at an incline it felt so unstable. The tongue also likes to flip out no matter what technique I used to tie. I previously had Timberland White Ledge mid boots and they felt so much sturdier. I will absolutely go back to those at the first chance I get.I almost feel like it needs another lace hook at the very top. It really just doesn't feel sturdy around my ankles.Pros - comfortable on flat paths, waterproof to an extent. I had no issues when they got a bit wet from a shallow creek crossing. Cool purple tread. Price was good, got them on sale

Very comfortable and not too heavy. I am an older woman and like the support these shoes give me.

I'm delighted! I first bought a size larger than I usually wear, a size12 for women (I usually have to buy a men's size) and I had a little of the toe box pain that many reviews complained about, from the bend in the upper shoe pressing on the big toe. I also had chaffing where the boot upper edge rubbed on my lower leg. So I needed to return them, but I ordered a size smaller, 11, (my usual size) and they perform wonderfully well. No toe discomfort, and no chaffing so far. And there is enough room in the toe box for steep down hill hiking. I never thought 1 size down would make such a difference. I'm so happy these came in my size, and didn't have to go to men's boots. The fit is so much better!
