FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for winter hiking?
They are ideal for mild to moderate conditions; however, they do not feature insulated linings for deep snow or extreme sub-zero temperatures.
How do I clean the suede material?
Use a soft-bristle brush to remove dried mud and a suede-specific eraser for spots. Avoid using heavy detergents.
Are the outsoles non-marking?
Yes, the Omni-Grip rubber is specifically formulated to be non-marking.
Should I wear thick hiking socks with these?
Yes, pairing them with moisture-wicking hiking socks will enhance the cushioning and help manage sweat effectively.
Can I use these for city walking?
While designed for trails, the cushioning makes them comfortable for urban walking, though the aggressive tread will wear faster on concrete.
Troubleshooting
Waterproofing appears less effective over time
The exterior DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may have worn off; clean the shoes and apply a fresh waterproofing spray compatible with suede.
Foot slipping inside the shoe during descents
Try the 'runner's loop' lacing technique using the highest eyelet to lock the heel in place.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Lightweight feel prevents heaviness during long hikes
- High-traction rubber prevents slipping on loose dirt or wet rock
- Effective waterproofing keeps feet comfortable in damp environments
- Superior energy return from the midsole cushions each step
Cons
- Suede material requires careful cleaning and maintenance
- Not intended for extreme high-altitude mountaineering
- Limited to specific colorways in the current range
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance from your Columbia Crestwood shoes, ensure you have selected the correct UK size for your foot shape, allowing room for slightly thicker hiking socks. When lacing, use the top eyelets if you require extra heel lockdown to prevent slipping on steep descents.
Care Instructions:
- Remove loose dirt after every hike using a soft brush.
- For the suede exterior, avoid submerging in water; use a dedicated suede cleaner and brush if mud persists.
- Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp materials.
- Re-apply a water-repellent spray designed for suede after deep cleaning to maintain the waterproof barrier.
