Columbia Newton Ridge Plus II Review

I love Columbia gear! But NOT this shoe! Video explains the rough, tough time I have had with the wear of this shoe! This shoe wore so comfortably, yet the wear and break in failed! Thin PUV leather tears, rips, dried out, soft bottom, etc...

I work as a order filler and walk ten hours a day on concrete my feet love these boots can’t beat the price

Like stated in previous comments. 60miles weekly and they’re 6months old. You’ve very well gotten your moneys worth!!

Massive respect to you for these reviews any shoe that you approve I’ll be impressed by. It’s very rare to find someone who can stress test as much as you.

I got to say that 6months at 60 miles a week for this boot is damn good. Consider most hiking boots and trail shoes have to changed out at least that.

My entire wardrobe is Columbia glad you gave a honest review on these shoes. Clear simple straight to the point about usage and product detail.

I am a landscaper by trade and I absolutely love these boots. I just broke in my second pair. The soles wear out after about 4 or 5 months but they get put through the ringer daily.

Thanks for the review. I just bought the black on black a few days ago as daily wears. Very comfortable and the grip is fantastic. I will apply saddle soap once a week and see how much longer I can make them last. Here in Canada they cost $140 plus tax. I sure hope I can prolong their life. I go through shoes and boots faster than anyone I know. Ive trashed $400 blundstones in a few months.

I wish I would have found this channel before I bought these today. I'm new to hiking and probably will only wear these a couple times a month but I just went with a brand that I trust and the price was right. Oh well, I will get whatever mileage I can from them and come back here to know what to get with my next purchase. Enjoyed the video, very informative and a great review! Big thanks, subscribed!

Thank you for your review. I wanted to buy, it's good that I found your review! In Latvia, it is offered for 95 Euro, it is not a small price! Good review, not like many people rate the shoes after a few weeks.!

[Untensuru.]

I could be mistaken, but I don't think the idea of this shoe is to wear them at a construction site everyday, wear them to Ikea, and then hike 60+ Miles a week in them over rough terrain. I'm pretty impressed with these shoes after hearing what you do with them, especially for the price...haha

This is the REAL evaluation of a product: LONG TERM USE. 👍🏻

Thanks for sharing. 😊

Thanks for the in-depth review. At this writing, on Prime Day on Amazon July, 11, 2023, these hiking shoes are on sale for $50 plus change. I was going to get a pair, but not anymore.
Thanks for the help. 😎

[McScott]

So let me get this straight. You’ve had these 6 months and worn them at least 60 miles per week. So that’s conservatively 1500+ miles and they’re still wearable. How is that a fail? Guys that thru-hike the Appalachian Trail typically go through at least two pairs of boots in 2179 miles. And those are MUCH more expensive boots - like $150+. So again.... how is it a fail to get 1500 miles out of a boot that costs less than $100?

[JasonH]

I love these boots...I'm beyond rough on my shoes and the last pair of these I had lasted me 6-7 years and there were no rips or anything when I retired them....actually got a new pair tonight

[coreyepperson]

You are absolutely right about the pu leather...

[BARRATA]

I was looking at these shoes for me, of course I just want them to be waterproof, since I will only use them in the city, nothing as hard as the use you gave them. The bad thing is that my number is already exhausted and I doubt they will arrive this season. Very good your review of the shoes.

[mercedify]

Great reviews 👍. I was looking at these shoes for a few days but thanks for the insight very helpful. Older video but glad it's here

[nciite]

These outlast Merrels and Timberlands plus they are a good quarter inch wider fwiw.

[bradowens]

So glad I saw this before I bought these. Thanks for this. As an aside, I think the word you're looking for is "supple" not "subtle" to describe the leather.

[DarkStern]

Thanks for the review. I am about to get a suede version of these. Hopefully they will hold up better
