Product Information
Full details
Designed for active men who tackle unpredictable terrain, the Columbia Peakfreak II Mid Outdry Hiking Shoes offer a balance of rugged weather protection and athletic comfort. The key benefit is the combination of OutDry waterproof technology and a responsive Techlite+ midsole, providing stability and dryness on long-distance hikes. A notable caveat to consider is that while the shoe is fully waterproof, the laces themselves are not, so moisture may linger if they are saturated during heavy exposure.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for snow?
They provide excellent protection against slush and cold, though they are not specifically insulated for extreme sub-zero temperatures.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the OrthoLite Eco insoles are removable and can be swapped for custom orthotics if necessary.
How should I store them when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the adhesive and the OutDry membrane.
Are these shoes vegan?
The materials include mesh and synthetic foam, but please check the specific product box or Columbia labeling for the latest material certifications.
Will the OutDry membrane stop working after some time?
The membrane is durable, but regular cleaning is required to keep the pores open for breathability and to maintain waterproof performance.
Can these be used for running?
While they are comfortable, they are engineered specifically for hiking stability rather than the gait mechanics of long-distance running.
Troubleshooting
Water enters through the laces
The laces are not waterproof; tuck your pant cuffs over the tongue or wear gaiters if you anticipate deep water or heavy rain.
Feeling of slippage inside the shoe
Re-adjust the NAVIC FIT laces for a tighter midfoot lockdown or try a thicker sock to improve the overall volume fit.
Accumulation of mud in the outsole
Tap the soles together to dislodge debris or use a stiff-bristled brush to clear the 5mm lugs after the mud dries.

- Highly responsive Techlite+ cushioning for all-day wear

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance from your hiking shoes, begin by adjusting the NAVIC FIT laces when the shoe is on your foot; pull evenly until you feel a secure hold across the midfoot. These shoes are compatible with standard hiking socks; for maximum breathability, opt for merino wool or synthetic moisture-wicking blends.
Care instructions include:
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush after every hike.
- Washing: Use warm water and a mild detergent to spot-clean the mesh; avoid harsh chemicals that might degrade the OutDry membrane.
- Drying: Air dry only in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators, as extreme heat can deform the foam and adhesives.
- Maintenance: Regularly check the outsole for embedded stones or debris to maintain grip efficiency.
