Columbia Redmond IV Low Waterproof Women's Shoes - Black/Citron Haze

Women's trekking shoes in Black/Citron Haze, designed for women looking for comfortable footwear for hiking and everyday movement across varied terrain. The construction combines a waterproof Omni-Tech membrane, a cushioning TechLite midsole, and a grippy Omni-Grip Live outsole. The model is suitable for walking on different types of surfaces.

The low-cut upper supports freedom of movement around the ankle, while the advanced sole system helps maintain stability on uneven ground. The combination of suede leather and synthetic inserts made it possible to create an upper resistant to intensive use and conducive to efficient air circulation.

The upper is made of suede leather and complemented with synthetic fabric inserts featuring a perforated structure. The leather panels stiffen the construction in areas exposed to abrasion and contact with the ground. A rubber rand is placed at the front to additionally protect the toes from impacts against stones, roots, and other obstacles encountered on the trail. The perforated synthetic panels increase airflow around the foot.

The footwear uses Omni-Tech technology based on a microporous membrane with a waterproof rating of 10 000 mm/m2. It limits moisture from getting inside the shoe during rain, contact with snow, and movement across wet terrain. The membrane also supports the release of water vapor to the outside. This helps reduce moisture buildup inside the footwear during longer hikes or more intense movement.

The model uses an Omni-Grip Live outsole made with at least 50% bio-based rubber. This solution is a more eco-friendly development of Omni-Grip technology, reducing the share of synthetic materials without giving up traction properties.

Multidirectional traction zones and a refined tread pattern support grip on dry, wet, and uneven surfaces. Clearly defined tread lugs make it easier to move steadily over stones, roots, packed dirt, and wet trails.

The TechLite midsole is made of lightweight, resilient foam. It is responsible for cushioning and shock absorption during contact between the foot and hard ground. The construction supports smooth foot roll from heel to toe, which matters when covering longer distances.

The foam used helps reduce the feel of uneven terrain. The material's low weight means the shoes do not put excessive strain on the feet while walking.

The lacing system is based on durable metal elements, placed in the upper part of the upper. They allow for even distribution of lace tension and more precise adjustment of the shoe to the shape of the foot. Stable tightening of the upper in the midfoot area limits foot movement inside the footwear, which matters on steep and uneven sections of the route.

At the back of the upper there is a loop that makes the shoes easier to put on and take off. The soft-finished tongue protects the instep from lace pressure and increases comfort during longer use.
