FAQs
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by Columbia and measure your foot length in UK sizing. It is recommended to try them on if possible, or consider the UK size 12 as indicated for this model.
Are these shoes suitable for heavy trekking or mountaineering?
The Crestwood II Waterproof Walking Shoe is designed for walking and light to moderate hiking. For very rugged terrain or heavy loads, a more specialized boot might be required.
How long does the waterproofing last?
The Omni-Tech waterproof membrane is durable, but its effectiveness can be extended by proper care and maintenance. Avoid abrasive cleaners and ensure the shoe dries naturally.
Can I machine wash these shoes?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and waterproof membrane. Hand wash using a damp cloth and mild soap as per the care instructions.
What is the energy return from the Techlite midsole?
The Techlite midsole is engineered to provide superior cushioning and high energy return, meaning it absorbs impact and springs back, helping to reduce fatigue during long walks.
Will the rubber outsole leave marks on indoor floors?
No, the Omni-Grip outsole is specifically designed to be non-marking, meaning it should not leave scuff marks on most indoor surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel wet despite being waterproof.
Check for any tears or damage to the waterproof membrane. Ensure the tongue is properly positioned to prevent water entry. Clean any mud or debris from the shoe.
Shoes feel uncomfortable or cause blisters.
Verify you have the correct size and width. Wear appropriate hiking socks. Break in the shoes with short walks before undertaking long hikes.
Traction seems reduced on slippery surfaces.
Clean the outsole thoroughly to remove embedded dirt or mud. The Omni-Grip tread may wear down over time; consider replacement if significant wear is visible.
Leather or mesh material appears damaged.
Inspect for cuts or abrasions. Minor scuffs on leather can often be buffed out. For significant damage to mesh or waterproofing, the shoe may need replacement.
