Full details
The Columbia Crestwood™ II Mid hiking shoe is designed for adult female hikers who require a balance of waterproof protection and all-day cushioning on rugged terrain. These shoes excel in unpredictable weather due to their seam-sealed construction, though the mid-height profile may feel restrictive to hikers who prefer the total freedom of a low-cut approach shoe.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for winter hiking?
While they are waterproof, they are primarily designed for three-season hiking. They do not have dedicated thermal insulation for sub-zero temperatures.
Does the Crestwood II Mid come in different widths?
The standard model typically follows a performance fit; if you have particularly wide feet, you may want to try a half-size larger.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the internal cushioned insoles are removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics if required.
Will the outsoles leave marks on indoor floors?
No, the shoes utilize non-marking rubber, making them safe for use on indoor gym floors or hard surfaces.
How do I know if they are waterproof?
The shoes feature an integrated Omni-Tech seam-sealed membrane, which is specifically tested to prevent external water from reaching your feet.
Troubleshooting
Water leaking into the shoe during heavy rain
Ensure the shoe is fully laced to the top to seal the ankle collar and check that the waterproof membrane has not been punctured by sharp objects.
Slipping on muddy or wet rock
Clean the outsole with a stiff brush to remove packed mud, as excessive debris can mask the grip pattern of the Omni-Grip rubber.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These shoes are designed for an immediate out-of-the-box fit, though it is recommended to wear them with moisture-wicking hiking socks to optimize the breathability of the internal membrane. To ensure longevity:
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush after each hike.
- Washing: Use warm water and mild soap if necessary; avoid harsh chemicals that could degrade the waterproof coating.
- Drying: Air dry in a shaded, well-ventilated area. Never place hiking shoes near direct heat sources like radiators, as this can cause the rubber and adhesive to warp or crack.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to prevent mold or mildew growth within the waterproof lining.
