Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
These hiking shoes require no specific setup; they are ready to wear out of the box. Their primary compatibility is with outdoor activities and casual wear. To care for your Columbia Crestwood II Hiking Shoes:
- Cleaning the Upper: For suede, mesh, and webbing, use a soft brush to remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, use a damp cloth and mild soap, then rinse with clean water. Avoid soaking the shoes.
- Drying: Always air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can damage the materials.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: The Omni-Tech membrane is durable, but for prolonged water exposure, consider using a water-repellent spray specifically designed for footwear. Reapply as needed based on usage.
- Laces: Inspect laces regularly and replace if frayed.
