FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
The description states they provide 'traction in rain or snow,' indicating a good level of water resistance suitable for typical wet winter conditions. While they are designed to protect against moisture, they are not explicitly marketed as fully waterproof for submersion. Avoid deep puddles for prolonged periods.
What kind of activities are these boots best for?
These boots are ideal for general winter wear, including daily commutes, walking, light hiking, and casual outdoor activities in cold, rainy, or snowy environments. They offer a balance of warmth, comfort, and style.
How should I clean the faux fur and fleece collar?
For the collar, gently wipe any dirt with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Allow it to air dry completely. You can gently brush the faux fur once dry to maintain its fluffiness. Avoid harsh scrubbing or machine washing to prevent damage.
Do these boots run true to size?
Generally, Columbia boots tend to run true to size. However, fit can vary by individual foot shape. We recommend trying them on with the type of socks you plan to wear. This specific model is a UK size 6.5.
Can I wear these boots in very cold temperatures?
With 200g of insulation and a reflective lining, these boots are designed to provide warmth in cold winter temperatures. Their effectiveness will depend on the specific temperature, your activity level, and the type of socks worn.
Are replacement insoles available?
Info needed: Check with Columbia customer service or official retailers regarding the availability of specific replacement insoles for the Red Hills™ II series.
Troubleshooting
My feet still feel cold.
Ensure you are wearing appropriate thermal socks. The boots provide 200g insulation, but extremely low temperatures or inadequate socking can still lead to cold feet. Check that the boots are not laced too tightly, restricting circulation. If the boots are wet inside, ensure they are fully dried before next use.
I'm slipping on ice/snow.
The sturdy rubber outsole provides good traction in rain or snow, but no boot can guarantee absolute slip prevention on all icy surfaces. Walk cautiously on extremely slick conditions. Consider using additional traction aids (e.g., ice grips) for particularly treacherous ice.
The boots feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.
Like many new boots, the Red Hills™ II may require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter durations at first to allow the materials to conform to your foot shape. Ensure you have the correct size and that your socks are not bunching up. If discomfort persists, check sizing again.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup & Fit
Putting on your Red Hills™ II Boots is straightforward. Simply loosen the laces, slide your foot in, and secure the laces for a snug, comfortable fit. It's recommended to wear appropriate winter socks to maximize warmth and comfort. Ensure there's enough room for your toes to wiggle slightly to prevent discomfort during extended wear and to allow for proper circulation.
Compatibility
These boots are ideal for adults navigating cold, wet, or snowy conditions. They are well-suited for daily wear, light hiking, walking, and general outdoor activities during autumn and winter. They pair well with various winter attire, from casual jeans to more robust winter pants.
Care
To ensure the longevity and performance of your Columbia Red Hills™ II Boots:
- Cleaning: After use, especially in wet or muddy conditions, wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. For tougher stains, a mild soap solution can be used. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hair dryers, as this can damage materials and adhesives. Remove insoles if they become wet to help with faster drying and to prevent odor.
- Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Stuffing them with crumpled newspaper can help maintain their shape and absorb residual moisture.
- Collar Care: Gently brush the fleece and faux fur collar to keep it soft and free of matting.
