ColumbiaWomen's Newton Ridge Plus Mid Rise Trekking and Hiking Boots

Fit is as expected. Not overly comfortable and definitely NOT waterproof (see my wet socks after a walk in the wet grass - not even in the rain). They are ok for this time of year but would be no good in the winter. I would descibe them as entry level walking boots

Really nice boots, excellent fit size 3, eu 36. Still space to wear thicker socks if needed. Not heavy on feet. Would defo recommend.

I have never had a pair of boots that were so comfortable from day one. Best boots ever

So comfortable and easy to break in. I got one blister on my toe, but even though I wore these boots to hike for 4-6 hours/day of hiking for the next week, the blister never even burst.Also literally half the cost of the same boot anywhere else.

[Good] Overall look - looks amazing! I would happily wear this even when not trekking.[Good] - Overall feel, spacious and comfortable to put on. I'm usually a size 3 for heels and 3.5 for trainers but ordered a 4 here as I wanted space for thick socks. It's just the fit I wanted.[Could be better] - Quality - I'm suspicious of it being so lightweight. It doesn't feel like it's top quality. However, if, with time, it does stand, it will prove to be one of the best ones in the market.[Good] Surprisingly lightweight- I thought I have received the wrong order as the box was so light. On the good side, it feels like you'd be able to use this without additional weight or strain. [Not sure] A possible down side I have yet to test- it could mean it's not as durable. It feels too light for a leather shoe, almost plasticky. I would read other reviews on those who have had it for longer.[Good] Plenty of room in the toe box. I don't usually order wide but neither do I have slender feet. Not snug at all. Could fit one chunky pair of thick socks in there and it still wouldn't feel too snug. Some would like that, others who don't like wearing thick socks might worry it's a bit hollow there.[Could be better] Creases and folds in the toe as seen in picture - doesn't worry me as it the material isn't very rigid in a way that it would hurt me. I feel like a small amount of breaking in would fix this if it's good leather. If it's not a good material, it may be prone to cracking and ripping in the future. I'm not as worried as I was when I read other reviews.[Could be better] Waterproofing on tongue- I've tried other shoes where the covered part goes almost to the end of the tongue. This one only goes halfway which potentially could let water in especially if walking through deeper puddles. I have read one review mention that the tongue part keeps coming out affecting ankle support. That's true. May be fixed double knotting though. Other boots may provide better waterproofing especially for when it rains or if you'd usually cover wet terrains.

These boots are very good looking. Sizing is true. They are light weight and very comfortable. They grip my feet very well which make them handy and more comfortable for.long hikes. The sole provides very good friction and thus firm grip on the ground.I have tried them on few hours of hiking on wet grounds (after rain) and also on normal walks. I'm very happy with them.I do not see any cons!Price at the time of writing this review is £58 which to me is very good price.I happily recommend these boots

These boots combined a strongly made, robust exterior with the comfort required for long periods of walking/wear.They fit very well and are standing up well to the rigors of frequent wear.They do clean fairly well and the soles give the required amount of grip, whilst 'encasing' the ankles to good effect - providing the support needed.

Good solid walking boots that will be ideal for bad weather. Rugged soles for good grip. Size 5 was a perfect fit. Felt comfortable to wear. Nice shade of dark brown.NOTE: She says she doesn’t wear brown shoes at all. So for her to wear these is mildly notable so the darkness is sufficient that they are not outright brown.
