FAQs
Are these boots completely waterproof?
The main body of the Columbia Red Hills™ II Boots features Omni-Tech waterproof breathable construction and a waterproof textile upper with leather overlays, making them highly resistant to water. However, please note that the laces and zippers themselves are not waterproof, which means water could potentially enter through those specific areas in very wet conditions.
How much insulation do these boots have?
These boots are packed with 200g of insulation, designed to provide substantial warmth in cold winter weather.
What is Omni-Heat reflective lining?
Omni-Heat reflective lining is a technology that uses small silver dots to reflect and retain your body heat, providing enhanced warmth without adding bulk. It helps keep you warmer for longer in cold conditions.
Can I wear these boots for hiking?
While these boots offer good traction and warmth, they are designed more for general winter wear, light outdoor activities, and casual use rather than rigorous hiking. For challenging trails or multi-day treks, dedicated hiking boots would be more appropriate.
How do I clean my Columbia Red Hills™ II Boots?
Brush off any loose dirt or mud. For the textile and leather areas, use a damp cloth with a mild soap to gently wipe clean. Allow them to air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct heat sources. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners.
What is the Omni-Grip outsole made for?
The Omni-Grip non-marking traction rubber outsole is engineered to provide advanced grip and stability on a variety of surfaces, particularly in wet, snowy, or slushy conditions, making them ideal for winter traction.
Do these boots run true to size?
Columbia footwear generally runs true to size, but fit can vary based on individual foot shape and preference for sock thickness. We recommend trying them on to ensure the best fit.
Troubleshooting
My feet still feel cold in the boots.
Ensure you are wearing appropriate winter socks, such as wool or synthetic thermal socks, as cotton socks can absorb moisture and make your feet colder. Also, verify the boots are not too tight, as restricted circulation can lead to cold feet.
My feet feel damp after walking in snow or rain.
While the main boot construction is waterproof, the laces and zippers are not. Check if moisture is entering through these areas. Ensure laces are tied snugly to minimize gaps. Consider applying a water-repellent spray to the laces and zipper areas for added protection. Also, ensure the dampness isn't from sweat; the Omni-Tech is breathable but intense activity can still cause perspiration.
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 periods initially to allow the materials to soften and conform to your feet. Ensure your sizing is correct to prevent discomfort from boots that are too small or large.
I'm slipping more than expected on icy surfaces.
The Omni-Grip outsole provides excellent traction on rain and snow, but no sole can guarantee 100% slip-proof performance on extreme ice. Exercise caution on very icy patches. For severe ice, consider adding ice cleats or traction devices over your boots.

Care & Maintenance
- Cleaning: To clean the textile upper and leather overlays, gently brush off loose dirt or mud. Use a damp cloth with mild soap to wipe down the surface. For tougher stains, a specialized boot cleaner designed for waterproof materials can be used. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: After use, especially if wet, allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or fireplaces, as this can damage materials and adhesives.
- Waterproofing (Laces/Zippers): While the main boot body is waterproof, the laces and zippers are not. Consider applying a water-repellent spray specifically designed for footwear to these areas to add an extra layer of protection, especially if you anticipate exposure to very wet conditions.
- Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. You may insert shoe trees or stuff them with crumpled newspaper to help maintain their shape.
- Odor Control: If odors develop, remove insoles and allow them to air out. You can use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the boots overnight.
