Designed for the avid explorer, these boots seamlessly blend high-level functionality with rugged performance to tackle any trail. The 2024 model arrives in a stunning Cordovan/Elk colorway, offering a rich, earthy aesthetic that looks as good on the city streets as it does on a mountain peak. Whether you are planning a strenuous day hike or a weekend camping trip, the Redmond III is your reliable companion. Available in size 13, these boots provide a spacious yet secure fit, ensuring that your feet remain comfortable regardless of the terrain you conquer.

Advanced Waterproof Technology

Never let wet weather dampen your spirits again. The Redmond III features Columbia's signature Omni-Tech membrane bootie, combined with a seam-sealed construction that creates an impenetrable barrier against moisture. This advanced technology works tirelessly to keep your feet dry, even when crossing shallow streams or hiking through torrential rain. To complement this, the boot is equipped with a gusseted tongue that effectively blocks out water, mud, dust, and debris. This comprehensive protection system makes the footwear an exceptional choice for wet excursions and muddy environments, ensuring your feet stay dry and blister-free all day long.

Lightweight Cushioning for All-Day Comfort

Long-distance hiking demands footwear that minimizes fatigue and maximizes energy. These boots are built with a Techlite lightweight midsole, a proprietary material designed specifically for long-lasting comfort and superior cushioning. Unlike heavy, traditional boots that drag you down, the Techlite midsole offers high energy return, propelling you forward with every step you take. The mid-cut design of the boot adds an extra layer of ankle support, stabilizing your stride over uneven ground without sacrificing flexibility. The upper combines synthetic leather overlays with a breathable mesh and suede structure, providing an exceptional fit that molds to your foot while enhancing overall support.

Unmatched Traction on Any Surface

Traction is critical when navigating slippery or loose surfaces, and the Redmond III delivers with the Omni-Grip non-marking traction rubber outsole. This specialized rubber compound is engineered to provide a sure-footed grip across a wide variety of terrains, from loose gravel and slick rocks to wet grass. The aggressive tread pattern ensures stability during steep ascents and descents, allowing you to focus on the path ahead rather than your footing. Best of all, the non-marking rubber makes these boots safe for indoor use, so you can walk into a lodge or your home without worrying about scuffing up the floors.

Reinforced Durability for Long-Lasting Wear

Columbia understands that hiking boots take a beating, which is why the Redmond III is built with reinforced construction in key wear areas. The toe and heel barriers are protected by an extended outsole, while a durable toe overwrap guards against accidental bumps against rocks and roots. Rugged top metal lacing eyelets allow you to secure the fit tightly and evenly, distributing pressure across the instep for maximum comfort. Whether you are carrying a heavy pack or scrambling over scree, these boots are designed to withstand the rigors of the outdoors and provide extended durability for many seasons to come.
