Newton Ridge™ Amped Waterproof Hiking Boot

I have two pairs of these boots. They are waterproof on the toe, until the water touches the top of the tongue. The boot tongue is a padded tongue, which acts as a sponge and holds all the water/dew you are walking thru. Once the sponge tongue fills up, it squishes water inside the boot. Buy a pair of Crispi Boots if you truly want a waterproof hiking boot. If Columbia made the tongue leather and sewed it to the boot sides, it would be waterproof, but that is extra. Buy the Crispi boots, they do the extra. I wear my Crispi boots in the meadow and hunting, feet warm and dry. Everytime I wear my Columbia boots, my feet are wet.
