FAQs
Are these boots true to size?
Most users find the Columbia Newton Ridge Plus to be true to size, though it is recommended to size up by half a size if you prefer wearing very thick wool hiking socks.
Can I use these for snowy hikes?
Yes, they provide good traction on snow and ice due to the Omni-Grip technology, though they are not insulated like specialized extreme-cold winter boots.
Are these boots machine washable?
No, do not machine wash these boots. Submerging them and subjecting them to the heat/agitation of a washing machine can destroy the waterproof seal and the structural integrity of the leather.
How long should the waterproof protection last?
With proper care and cleaning, the Omni-Tech membrane will remain effective for the lifespan of the boot. Regular cleaning helps prevent dirt from clogging the pores of the membrane.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the internal insoles are removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics if required.
What is the best way to lace these for support?
Use the metal D-ring hardware at the top for a secure ankle lock. Ensure you pull the laces taut across the mid-foot before tying them to prevent heel slip.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff upon first use
This is normal for leather-hybrid boots. Wear them indoors or on short walks with medium-thickness socks to accelerate the break-in process.
Water leaking into the boot
Check the seam-sealed lining for debris and ensure the laces are tightened correctly to create a proper seal around the tongue. If the leather looks dull, apply a waterproof treatment spray designed for leather/textile combinations.
Slipping on very smooth indoor surfaces
While the Omni-Grip sole is designed for outdoor terrain, ensure the rubber is clean. Dust and dried mud can temporarily reduce the tackiness of the traction rubber.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Columbia Newton Ridge Plus boots, proper maintenance is essential.
- Breaking In: Wear your boots on short walks before attempting long-distance hikes to allow the leather and midsole to mold to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush to remove dried mud and dirt after every trip. For the leather components, use a damp cloth and specialized leather cleaner if necessary. Avoid submerging the boots fully in water.
- Drying: Always air dry your boots naturally in a well-ventilated area. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or fireplaces, as excessive heat can crack the leather and damage the waterproof adhesive seals.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent material degradation.
