FAQs
Are these boots truly waterproof?
Yes, the boots feature Omni-Tech waterproof breathable construction on the textile upper with leather overlays, designed to keep your feet dry from external moisture. However, it's important to note that the laces and zippers themselves are not waterproof and water may penetrate through these areas if submerged.
How warm are these boots?
The Red Hills boots are packed with 200g insulation and feature Omni-Heat reflective lining, which reflects your body heat back to you. This combination provides significant warmth, making them suitable for cold winter days and temperatures.
What kind of traction do they offer?
These boots are equipped with Omni-Grip non-marking traction rubber outsoles. This advanced lug pattern provides superior grip and stability on a variety of surfaces, including wet, snowy, and icy conditions.
Are these boots heavy?
No, the boots incorporate a Techlite lightweight midsole. This technology provides long-lasting comfort and superior cushioning without adding excessive weight, ensuring a comfortable experience even during extended wear.
How should I clean my Red Hills boots?
For cleaning, gently brush off loose dirt. For tougher marks, wipe the surface with a damp cloth and a mild detergent. Allow the boots to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area. Do not machine wash or tumble dry, and avoid direct heat sources.
Can I wear these boots for extended periods or long walks?
Yes, the Techlite lightweight midsole is specifically designed to provide superior cushioning and high energy return, which contributes to long-lasting comfort and reduced foot fatigue, making them suitable for extended periods of wear and walking.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel cold despite insulation
Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks (e.g., wool or synthetic blends) that wick moisture away from your skin. Check that the boots are not laced too tightly, as restricted circulation can lead to cold feet. A loose fit also traps more air for insulation.
Slipping on certain surfaces
While Omni-Grip provides excellent traction on various surfaces, extremely icy or polished conditions can still present a challenge. Exercise caution, reduce stride, and consider using additional traction aids like ice cleats in extreme situations. Keep the outsoles clean to maintain optimal grip.
Boots feel damp inside after wear
After each use, remove insoles and allow the boots to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat. If external moisture consistently penetrates, inspect the boot for any signs of damage to the waterproof membrane. Ensure laces and zippers are not allowing water entry if used in very deep puddles, as these components are not waterproof.

Care
To ensure the longevity and performance of your Columbia Red Hills boots, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: After use, gently brush off any loose dirt or debris from the textile and leather surfaces. For tougher stains, wipe with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Drying: Always allow the boots to air dry completely at room temperature. Remove insoles if possible to facilitate thorough drying. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or open flames, as this can damage materials and adhesives.
- Waterproofing: While the boots feature Omni-Tech waterproofing, periodic treatment with a suitable DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray or leather conditioner (for leather overlays) can help maintain water repellency, especially on non-waterproof laces and seams.
- Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
