Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Columbia Newton Ridge Plus shoes, begin by wearing them for short walks on flat surfaces to properly break in the material before heading on longer, steep excursions. Compatibility is high with standard hiking socks; moisture-wicking wool or synthetic blends are recommended to complement the waterproof liner. To clean, remove loose dirt with a soft brush after each hike. If the exterior gets muddy, wipe it clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can damage the seam-sealed waterproof barrier and the adhesive holding the outsole in place. Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
