FAQs
Are these shoes fully waterproof?
Yes, they feature Omni-Tech waterproof breathable construction to keep feet dry in rain and damp conditions.
Can I use these for winter hiking?
They are designed for hiking and offer good protection, but they are not specifically insulated for deep snow or sub-zero temperatures.
Are the outsoles non-marking?
Yes, the Omni-Grip rubber is specifically formulated to be non-marking.
How should I clean the leather and suede?
Use a soft brush to remove dust and a damp cloth for spots. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing.
Is the midsole replaceable?
The Techlite midsole is integrated into the shoe's construction and is not replaceable, but it is designed for long-lasting energy return.
Do these shoes run true to size?
The fit is generally standard for outdoor footwear, but we recommend trying them on with the specific socks you intend to use for hiking.
Troubleshooting
Foot discomfort or pressure points during the first few wears.
The leather and suede upper needs time to soften. Wear them around the house for short periods before taking them on longer hikes.
Moisture buildup inside the shoe during intense activity.
Ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking synthetic or merino wool socks, which help the breathable membrane move sweat away from your skin.
Loss of traction on extremely muddy surfaces.
Ensure the outsole lugs are clear of packed mud and debris using a stiff-bristled brush to maintain grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Columbia Newton Ridge Plus shoes remain in top condition, follow these guidelines. Start by ensuring you have chosen the correct UK size, as a snug but non-restrictive fit is essential for preventing blisters. If you intend to use custom insoles, the factory liner can be easily removed. To clean, wipe off excess dirt with a soft brush after every hike. If the leather becomes muddy, use a damp cloth to spot clean; avoid submerging the shoes in water or putting them in a washing machine, as this can degrade the waterproof integrity of the materials. Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the leather from cracking.
