Stay warm and dry with these Columbia hiking boots, up to 40% off

We’re slooooowly working our way through winter, but wet, slushy conditions in many areas are still making it difficult to enjoy any outdoor time — especially frustrating for those who try to remain active year-round. If this sounds like a familiar predicament, we have a solution at a savings: Columbia Newton Ridge Plus Waterproof Amped Hiking Boots. These water-repelling, high-traction pair of trail walkers are on sale for up to 40% off on Amazon.

Why is this a good deal?

For up to 40% off, these waterproof hiking boots are a must for anyone trying to stay active during this wet winter without spending a bundle. Other big-name options can set you back up to $150 a pair, but these are as low as $60 a pop for similar brand-name quality. This is also the lowest price we’ve seen since Black Friday, so now’s the time to jump if you want to spend the rest of winter conquering the trails for less.

Why do I need these?

The best hiking boots will make sure you stay dry and comfortable while working up a sweat outdoors, and these deliver. Each boot is seam-sealed, with a lightweight midsole for long-lasting comfort and amplified cushioning. They’re durable, too — waterproof, to keep out the most dastardly of winter wetness, with Omni-GRIP rubber soles that you keep traction even on the toughest trails.

The toe and heel are also reinforced, with an extended outsole overwrap to help guard key wear points so they stay in great shape for several seasons to come. Boots designed to be enjoyed for years? Sounds like a pretty sweet deal to us, especially at 40% off.

What reviewers say

More than 18,000 five-star Amazon reviewers agree that these Columbia Newton Ridge Plus Waterproof Amped Hiking Boots are well worth the spend.

“These are the most comfortable shoes I currently own,” raved one reviewer. “Used for basic city walks, hiking, glacier hiking, walking through water and waterfalls, on the beach, and in inclement weather. They are not heavy or clunky, fit true to size and have a good amount of grip. They are truly waterproof, was able to walk through waterfalls, streams, river, in sleet, snow, ice and sand. Sand does not even seem to stick to them. Even though I did get the boots completely wet inside (went too deep in a stream) they dried out well and do not stink.”

“My husband and I have been hiking all of America’s National Parks,” said another outdoorsy shopper. “When we decided we were going to Great Smoky Mountains National Park to summit Mt. LeConte, I knew I needed new boots. … These were comfortable throughout my entire hike. I did not get any blisters. They prevented my ankle from rolling and kept my foot stable even over mountainous terrain. The tread on them let me climb up wet rock without fear of slipping. They kept my feet dry when we walked through streams and mud. My feet did not start to hurt until we were walking through the parking lot to the car at the very end.”

Though this wearer griped that the “insole is glued down tightly and not removable,” they did add that these boots are “not heavy, but feel sturdy enough for rough terrain, snow and ice,” and were “comfortable from the minute I put them on.”
