Columbia Womens Newton Mountain Regular Reviews Summary

Comfort and Fit

Pros:

• "These are the most comfortable boots I've ever worn."
• "They were warm and super comfortable hiking in."
• "These boots by far have been the most comfortable shoes I've ever done a full day in, they are luxuriously cushioned while still being firm and supportive."
• "This pair feels as if they were custom made for my feet."
• "The wide width is great, finally boots that truly are wide so my toes can move around."
• "I wore them pretty much everyday since then for hikes and working on my feet. Held together great the whole time."
• "These boots are so comfortable and stylish. I can't believe I could wear a boot all day and not have my feet hurt."

Cons:

• "Shoes do soak up rain on a very wet day, so the waterproofing isn't perfect."
• "I really liked these boots until the eyelet for the shoelace popped through the leather."
• "Other hikers recommended ordering a half-size up, so I did. That was a mistake."
• "I ordered these to wear at a construction work site thinking they would be perfect for being on my feet all day, waterproof, etc and at the end of the day my feet are killing me."
• "I really wanted to like these hiking boots. After only wearing them for a couple of miles though, they started rubbing my ankle raw."
• "The shoe laces where too long that it caught the hook on the other shoe and made me trip and fall."
• "I've worn them twice and have already noticed wear on the shoe strings and will likely need to replace them after a few more wears."

Waterproof and Traction

Pros:

• "These boots are comfortable and waterproof. I take the dogs hiking in the woods every day and while I prefer sneakers when it is muddy I use these boots."
• "But my feet stayed completely dry and comfortable."
• "Equipped with Columbia's Omni-Tech waterproof membrane, they provide superior protection against rain, mud, and puddles."
• "They really are waterproof."
• "I purchased these waterproof, hiking boots for a week in Iceland. My feet stayed warm and dry."
• "These boots have great traction and ankle support; good for flatter, somewhat steep hikes."
• "The soles have excellent traction and provide stability."

Cons:

• "This new pair has a sole that is 1/4 inch narrower across the toe box than the old one."
• "Also the tread is shallow."
• "They have no arch support and no cushioning in the bottom of them."
• "I did hike in a down pour and my feet got wet I'm pretty sure because the tongue isn't water proof."
• "Most shoe bottoms, including these get clogged and impacted."
• "However, after about 30 wears, I did notice that my toes hurt from the hard toe box when I go down on steep hikes."
• "I hike ALL the time and have never experienced boots with such little to no grip like these."

Style and Design

Pros:

• "They are really cute! I love looking down at my feet."
• "These boots are cute, stylish, and fit well."
• "They're also pretty cute but that's just a plus for me!"
• "The sleek and modern design looks great on and off the trails."
• "Love the style and colors, but I bought for the sturdy sole and water proofing."
• "They are cuter than most hiking shoes and they honestly matched well with all of my outfits."
• "These are really good looking boots, and I really wanted them to work out."

Cons:

• "These boots are completely useless to me now that I know the quality of the comfort/support."
• "I am surprised at such poor quality."
• "The only thing is the tongue of the boot is thick. It is very bulky around the ankle."
• "For the price I paid I wish they hadn’t had a mechanical failure on day 1."
• "However, they caused terrible pain on the ankle bone area due to being too stiff there."
• "I feel like I am wearing two cardboard boxes on my feet. There is no arch support and the toe box if so pointed that my toes especially walking down a hill are so pinched."
• "I received an ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING worn out full of dirt and rocks pair of shoes and it’s not even in the original box!"
