Columbia Mens Newton Ridge Plus Ii Waterproof Hiking Boot Shoe 10 Ti Grey Steel/Rocket

Failed its purpose, keep feet dry! Was walking on a busy sidewalk after a 2-3 inch snowfall & moisture leaked in, soaked inside sole & sock, no - it was not sweat. It started at the right shoe, bottom left side of heel then both shoes inside soles. Lots of tread left on bottom. Shoes didn't dry out for days. This is the product description, inside label B13970-231. Sales receipt from dept store says "Columbia Newton Ridge Plus II Waterproof Men's Hiking Boots". I should get a refund. Get with the program guys, apply legit product descriptions, maybe "waterproof for a very brief & light rain, very shallow puddles only". Why would anyone seal a rubber sole to leather & call it waterproof / soak proof. I do not recommend this shoe to my friends or for re-purchase.

As others have stated, the "wide" is not wide enough if you actually wear wide shoes. I could tell before I even tried to cram my foot into it that it wasn't wide enough. To top it off, in the bottom of the shipping box (which was oddly sealed with Columbia paper box tape over plastic box tape that had not been cut) I found the packing list from the previous wide-footed purchaser of this pair of boots. It had his email address on it, so I emailed him and we've had a good laugh about the whole deal. I should have spent some time reading the reviews before I bough and I would have known these would not be wide enough. Double shame on Columbia for sending me an already at least once returned product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my 4th Columbia boot in last 3 years and never dissatisfied with the quality. In general only downside for this brand boots is they are low on cushioning esp. for long hikes

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The wide size didn't fit my wide feet. I really need a EEE and these weren't that wide. I can wear a 10 EEE in New Balance these in a wide 10.5 were still too narrow for me. I would recommend for someone that doesn't have a very wide foot.

I have big wide feet and it is hard to find a shoe that is both long enough and wide enough as the sizing indicates. This shoe fits well and is both comfortable and provides good support. I walk 5 to 6 miles a day for work, and also hike. I do this in all weather and this boot has been great. It didn't cost too much as my backpacking boots did but is really excellent for my everyday use. I recommend these boots at a very good price.
