Mens Newton Ridge Plus II Waterproof Hiking Boot

I have owned several pair in both the high top and low top versions. I need to wear a size 16 wide to accommodate orthotics and these fit the bill. I prefer the full smooth leather version over the suede. Once dialed in they are comfortable. My only complaints are that the sloes are rather soft and wear out too quickly, thus loosing their grip and inventory and styles in my size are not often not readily available.

Shoe Color and comfort is really good. I got wide size range which is very comfortable, keeping my legs warm. Not having great grip on the ice but overall satisfying 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.] I ordered a size 11 Wide, but as soon as I saw them I could tell they would not fit, they were too narrow. I wish Columbia would create actual wide-fitting shoes, because the design and construction looks excellent, they just don't fit wide feet.
