Overview
Hiking day trails in wet weather, the Columbia Newton Ridge Plus II Waterproof pairs a waterproof mesh and leather exterior with a traction outsole and a lightweight midsole. Its profile stays at ankle height.
Waterproof construction in a lightweight package suits day hikes in changing weather, and the midsole is described as cushioned with energy return. The gender wording in the description contradicts the men's title, and several spec fields look unreliable, such as a tiny shaft circumference.
Who it's for
Day hikers who want weather protection without a heavy boot. Backpackers carrying heavy loads, or anyone who needs reliable spec details, should check Columbia's sizing chart first.
Pros and cons
- Waterproof mesh and leather exterior
- Advanced traction outsole
- Lightweight cushioned midsole
- Energy return in the midsole
- Closure type unclear in the listing
- Gender wording conflicts
- Shaft circumference value looks wrong
Performance notes
The waterproof exterior protects against moisture on the trail, while the advanced traction outsole is designed to grip in varied environments and prevent slipping. The lightweight midsole absorbs impact and returns energy. Ankle height means limited coverage above the foot.
