FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for winter hiking?
While they are waterproof, they are not insulated for sub-zero temperatures. They work well for autumn and spring hiking, but you may need thicker wool socks for colder weather.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the waterproof membrane and the structural integrity of the leather. Always clean by hand with a damp cloth or soft brush.
Is the outsole non-marking?
Yes, the Omni-Grip rubber is designed as a non-marking outsole, making these safe for indoor use or gym settings if needed.
How do I know if they are wide enough?
If you experience pinching at the widest part of your foot even after loosening the closure system, you may require a wide-width variant of this model.
Should I apply a waterproof spray to these shoes?
While they feature a built-in waterproof membrane, applying a leather-safe water repellent periodically can help the exterior leather stay supple and prevent it from soaking up water.
Troubleshooting
Water leaking into the shoe during shallow stream crossings
Ensure the shoe is fully laced and that the tongue is pulled flat against the ankle to prevent gaps. Re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray to the exterior leather if the surface no longer beads water.
Foot discomfort or pressure points during long hikes
Adjust the tension of the hook-and-loop closure system at different intervals along the bridge of the foot. Consider using aftermarket orthotic insoles if you require additional arch support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Columbia Newton Ridge shoes, follow these guidelines:
- Fitting: Ensure you wear the same type of socks you intend to use for hiking when fitting these shoes.
- Break-in: Wear the shoes on short, flat walks around your neighborhood before attempting a long, high-elevation hike to allow the leather to adapt to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Remove caked-on mud after every trip using a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use lukewarm water and a mild detergent; avoid harsh chemicals that can strip the waterproofing treatment.
- Drying: Air dry only. Do not place these shoes near direct heat sources such as radiators or campfires, as excessive heat can damage the bonding agents and warp the midsole cushioning.
