Review from Amazon.com
its hard to come by a durable good quality waterproof boot these days but this one surely takes the gold. I was skeptical at first due to the relatively low price on these but they did not dissapoint at all. I absolutely love the fact that the "tongue" portion is breathable yet the rest of the boot is leather and completely waterpoof. good buy!

Review from Columbia Men's Newton Ridge 2 Hiking Boot (Apparel)
I purchased these because they looked like they would have good grip on my hikes and provide waterproof protection on some of the wet hikes. The boots did provide protection on the first hike but the sole also began to show signs of separation after just a couple hikes. I glued them to them and applied more waterproofing. This got them to another 4 hikes. I think I should have looked for something a little sturdier. The price was right but the quality was just not there. Waterproofing works as described. Comfort level was acceptable not great. Workmanship was not up to par.

Review from Columbia Men's Newton Ridge 2 Hiking Boot (Apparel)
I am in the woodworking business and wear hiking boots as my work shoe, as well as for occasional weekend camping and hiking trips. I wear out a pair of typical hiking boots in a year or less because I wear them almost every day.I bought these Columbia boots while they were on sale,so I was pleased with the price I paid. They were comfortable from the day I took them out of the box and remained comfortable while they lasted. But like every boot I have purchased, regardless of brand or price, these boots have a rubber sole glued onto the leather upper. I don't think there is an adhesive invented yet that works with this combination, and whithin a few weeks of wearing these boots, the rubber began to seperate from the leather upper. It always starts in the toe box area and where you flex at your toes and the ball of your feet. These boots lasted about 8 months and were shot with the soles completely torn away from the boot in a two inch area along both sides of both boots . Pretty typical of all boots I have purchased in this price range. They were comfortable for the 8 months that I wore them.
Well, can't judge for sure, as the reviews vary. It does indicate that this is a rather average pair, and quoting huskyhauler, you get what you pay for. However, for those interested, the price is $74.99. For details and purchase, please click here
