FAQs
Are the Columbia Red Hills™ II Boots fully waterproof?
The product description highlights a 'sturdy rubber outsole for traction in rain or snow,' indicating good water resistance for typical wet conditions. While they are designed to handle moisture, this specific variant is not explicitly described as 'waterproof.' For fully waterproof options, look for models with 'Omni-Heat Waterproof' in their description.
How should I clean my Red Hills™ II Boots?
Brush off loose dirt. For the synthetic upper, wipe with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. For the fleece and faux fur collar, spot clean with a damp cloth. Allow to air dry completely away from direct heat.
What kind of insulation do these boots have?
These boots feature 200g of insulation, along with a reflective lining, designed to provide substantial warmth in cold weather.
Do these boots run true to size?
Columbia boots generally run true to size, but fit can vary. We recommend trying them on with the type of socks you plan to wear. If you are between sizes, it is often advisable to size up slightly in winter boots to accommodate thicker socks and ensure comfort.
Can I use these boots for heavy snow or hiking?
These boots are excellent for general winter wear, light snow, and city conditions due to their warmth and traction. For heavy, deep snow or demanding hiking in extreme conditions, specialized snow boots or hiking boots with higher shafts and more aggressive treads might be more suitable.
What is the material of the collar?
The collar features both fleece and faux fur for enhanced warmth, comfort, and style.
Troubleshooting
My feet still feel cold.
Ensure you are wearing appropriate thermal or wool socks. Check that the boots are not too tight, which can restrict circulation and lead to cold feet. If the boots are damp inside, ensure they are fully dried before next use.
The boots feel slippery on ice.
While the rubber outsole provides good traction in rain and snow, no boot can guarantee complete slip-proof performance on black ice. Walk carefully and be mindful of extremely icy surfaces. Consider using additional traction aids if frequently walking on severe ice.
The faux fur collar is matted or dirty.
Gently comb the faux fur with a wide-tooth comb to restore fluffiness. For dirt, spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap, then allow to air dry. Avoid machine washing.
Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Check your sock thickness; try a thinner pair if wearing very thick socks. Ensure the laces are not pulled too tightly. If the discomfort persists, verify the size against Columbia's sizing chart, as boot fit can vary.
Boots have an unusual odor.
Ensure boots are thoroughly dried after each use. You can use shoe deodorizers or place baking soda packets inside overnight to absorb odors. Avoid wearing the same boots every day to allow them to air out completely.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup
Using your Red Hills™ II Boots is straightforward:
- Unpack: Remove boots from packaging.
- Inspect: Check for any manufacturing imperfections.
- Wear: Simply slip your feet into the boots. For optimal comfort and warmth, wear with appropriate winter socks. Ensure laces are tied securely but not too tightly to allow for circulation.

- Attire: They complement various winter outfits, including jeans, leggings, and casual pants.
Care
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your boots:
- Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt and debris. For surface stains on the synthetic upper, use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Fleece and Faux Fur: To clean the collar, gently wipe with a damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, follow instructions for faux fur, often involving gentle spot cleaning with a specialized faux fur cleaner or very mild detergent.
- Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or hair dryers, as this can damage materials.
- Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Ensure they are clean and dry before storing.
