FAQs
Are these boots suitable for snow?
Yes, they are designed for winter use and provide excellent traction on icy and slippery surfaces, though they are not explicitly insulated for extreme arctic temperatures.
How do I know if they are waterproof?
They feature Columbia's proprietary Omni-Tech membrane, which is a seam-sealed, breathable waterproof layer.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the leather, adhesives, and waterproofing integrity. Always hand clean with mild soap and water.
Do they run true to size?
Most users find them true to size, but if you plan to wear thick winter socks, you may want to consider a half-size larger than your standard shoe size.
What is the material composition?
The exterior is a combination of full-grain leather, suede, and a scratch-resistant rubber heel cap.
Are the outsoles non-marking?
Yes, the Omni-Grip rubber compound is non-marking, making them safe for various surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff during initial wear
Wear the boots for short durations around the house with medium-thickness socks to gradually soften the leather.
Water penetrating the boot
Check the upper material for damage and ensure the tongue is properly centered. Re-apply a waterproofing treatment if the exterior leather no longer beads water.
Loss of traction
Clear any compacted mud or debris trapped within the tread patterns of the Omni-Grip outsole.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Columbia Newton Ridge Plus boots, avoid submerging them in deep water if possible, despite the waterproof rating. After muddy hikes, remove debris with a soft brush once the boots have dried naturally away from direct heat sources. To clean the leather and suede, use a damp cloth and specialized leather cleaner. Periodically re-treating the outer materials with a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray will help maintain the bead-off effect of water. For the best fit, pair these boots with moisture-wicking hiking socks to enhance the breathability of the Omni-Tech membrane.
