FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
They generally follow standard sizing, but it is recommended to consider the thickness of your hiking socks when selecting your size.
Can I use these in the snow?
Yes, the Omni-Grip outsole is designed for traction on icy and slippery surfaces, making them suitable for light snow and winter walking.
How do I clean the leather upper?
Use a leather-safe cleaner or a damp cloth to wipe away dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals that could strip the waterproof coating.
Do I need to break them in?
While they are comfortable out of the box, we recommend wearing them on short walks to allow the materials to adapt to your foot shape.
Is the waterproof feature permanent?
The Omni-Tech construction is highly durable, though the outer layer may require occasional re-treatment with a water-repellent spray to maintain optimal performance.
Troubleshooting
Reduced traction in extreme conditions
Check the outsole for compacted mud or debris caught in the treads and clear them out with a brush.
Moisture buildup inside during hot weather
Ensure you are using moisture-wicking synthetic or wool socks rather than cotton, which traps perspiration.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Columbia hiking boots, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: After hikes, remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For mud, use a damp cloth. Do not submerge the shoes fully in water.
- Drying: Air dry the boots in a cool, shaded area. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as these can cause the leather to crack or the adhesives to weaken.
- Waterproof Maintenance: Over time, you may want to re-apply a water-repellent treatment to the exterior leather to maintain the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) performance.
- Storage: Keep the shoes in a dry, well-ventilated space to prevent moisture build-up inside the lining.
