Newton Ridge Plus Leather Waterproof Hiking Boots

I bought these as I have plantar fasciitis and my doctor told me to protect my ankles when walking the dogs - he knows I walk on uneven, rocky paths. I have worn these since they arrived last week - no break in period - perfectly from day 1. I also haven't used my inserts for plantar fasciitis and I have had zero issues - no pain. Have walked through the rain & puddles for about an hour and a half and no issues- definitely waterproof. I would recommend. I did order a half a size up as recommended and they fit perfectly.

I’ve been searching for a reliable winter boot for ice and this boot is good on most types of icy surfaces. I live in the prairies and for the past several years there has been mild weather in January followed by a deep freeze from February to April. I walk an unruly dog on city streets, sidewalks and in parks and need a boot that is reliable on ice. I’ve found this boot is good on most surfaces. It’s comfortable out of the box.

I lost my first pair to a house fire and it was one of my first purchases of replacement. Best hiking boots ever! So light weight and comfortable, both pairs didnt need any breaking in. Will always buy these.

Comfortable, water resistant and fashionable and not a weighty boot to walk. As soon as I put these on they were comfortable - no rubbing and sole cushioning make them an ideal hiking boot at a reasonable price. Very pleased and would recommend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Best shoes I own. Purchased Jan 2023 and they have lasted right about to the end of 2025. I hike a lot (60+ trails per year), and I have worn these shoes to hike up mountains, go through rivers, and trek through sand. Traction has worn off just a little, but that is to be expected. The waterproofing is still awesome and works well. Super comfortable and lots of good ankle support. Literally my favorite shoes ever, I am about to buy the same pair and hopefully wear them out for the next 3 years.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought these a few months ago for extra ankle support after injuring the left ankle. They are very comfortable, light and supportive. I didn’t feel a lot of cushion in them but I was able to do 5-6 miles a day with relative ease on uneven, varied surface terrain (muddy, roots and rocks, stone, asphalt). I’ve tried other brands but these are going to be my go to.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These were waterproof for about 2 years. Keep in mind they probably only say action for a max of 80 days/ year. I have tried waterproofing them again with both wax and spray. Nothing worked. I expected a longer lifespan than 2 years. Traction is pretty good.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Boot is waterproof. Mine felt inside a river and it’s so insulated that water didn’t want to come out either. The only downside is the suede, it dies stain easily but everything else delivers. It’s comfortable, lightweight, sturdy, good grip. I loved it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My previous pair of Newton Ridge boots took me through the Black Forest and many points east and west. So comfortable and stylish (love the red laces) they became my go-to shoe even when I wasn't hiking. Eight years later the soles were the only worn out part. I was delighted to see the same pair still on the website. Even more jazzed when they arrived and I slipped into them. Same great fit!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was looking for some waterproof hiking boots that were well-rated by third party groups. These were at the top of several lists, so I decided to give them a try. They came in super fast, and I put them on for a quick trial. I didn't even take them off for the rest of the day! They fit right out of the box without any awkward breaking in. On my first lengthy outing, they were comfortable and felt like we had been hiking buddies for years. I haven't tried them out in super wet conditions, but a wet summer in my region will give me plenty of opportunity.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These boots have been great! I was a little worried they might rub the top of my foot but I have had them a couple of weeks now and no problem. Also I know color doesn’t matter in hiking boots but these are a really cute shade of brown. I would recommend these boots to anyone!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought these for a trip to Yellowstone, Grand Teton, and Glacier National Parks, where I knew I would be going on some challenging hikes. These boots were perfect on sand, rock, and snow! They are waterproof (though I didn't submerge them completely in water), which also means your feet will feel hot in the boots, but I think that is the trade-off. I saw at least 5 other girls with the same boots! I got some compliments as well. I'm a size 6.5 - 7 and I got a 7, but I wish I tried the 6.5 to compare. 7 was comfortable, my toes were not cramped and I was able to wear thick socks. I have flexible ankles and twist them a lot while hiking, so the extra ankle support was nice. When I wanted more flexibility, I laced up to the second-to-last aglet.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy to break in, not super clunky, and actually waterproof.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Solid boots right out of the box. I intended to break them in before a 15 mile hike but ended up only walking about 2 miles in them before that hike. The 15 mile hike had 3500 feet elevation climb in rocky trail. Needless to say my feet were fatigued at the end but only ended up with one small blister on a toe. ankle/heel felt fully supported and overall great traction on the bottom.
