Whether you are tackling a steep ascent in the Driftless Area or navigating a rainy trail in the Pacific Northwest, this boot is built to perform. With its striking Kettle and Tangy Orange colorway, you will not only feel good on the trail but look great doing it.

This rugged hiker is engineered to handle whatever Mother Nature throws your way. The combination of advanced material technologies ensures that your feet remain pampered and protected across miles of varied terrain. From the moment you slip them on until you return to the trailhead, the Newton Alpine PT provides a supportive platform that reduces fatigue and maximizes stability.

Omni-Tech Waterproof Protection

There is nothing worse than trekking with wet socks. The Newton Alpine PT utilizes Columbia's signature OMNI-TECH technology to provide a premium waterproof barrier. This multilayered system features a seam-sealed construction that is specifically designed for prolonged exposure to moderate rain and snow. It effectively blocks external moisture from penetrating the boot. Crucially, while it keeps water out, it also allows the interior to breathe. This air permeability enables internal moisture and heat to escape, ensuring that your feet stay dry and comfortable even during high-exertion activities.

Stability and Cushioning

Underfoot, the boot features the OMNI-MAX system, which is dedicated to superior comfort and stability. This system integrates a Techlite midsole that offers responsive cushioning, absorbing the impact of rocky trails to protect your joints. Furthermore, the specially designed heel and midfoot aids work together to create a stable platform, preventing rolling ankles on uneven ground. Enhancing this is the TECHLITE ECO footbed, which provides lightweight, long-lasting performance. Made with 20% recycled content, it delivers eco-friendly enhanced cushioning for all-day wear without adding unnecessary weight.

Multi-Terrain Traction

Maintain your footing on slick surfaces with the advanced OMNI-GRIP non-marking traction rubber. This outsole is a game-changer for hikers who encounter diverse landscapes. The specially formulated compounds and tread design are engineered to provide stability on rock, dirt, and gravel. Regardless of whether the ground is wet or dry, the strategically blended lug patterns dig in to offer cross-terrain stability and grip. You can approach river crossings and muddy banks with confidence, knowing your boots are designed to keep you upright.

Durable Construction

Ready for adventures both on and off the trail, the boot boasts a waterproof suede upper that resists abrasion. A protective rubber rand wraps around the base of the shoe, shielding the foot from sharp rocks and scuffs. This durable construction ensures that the boots can withstand the abuse of the trail, trip after trip.
