Product Information
Full details
The Columbia Peakfreak™ II Mid Outdry™ is designed for adult hikers who demand reliable weather protection and sustained comfort on varied terrain. These mid-cut shoes excel by combining a waterproof, breathable construction with an advanced traction system, making them ideal for all-day adventures in both wet and dry conditions. While they offer exceptional stability and lockdown, potential users should note that the integrated laces are not waterproof, which may require extra care in extremely deep stream crossings or heavy submersion.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for winter hiking?
Yes, the OutDry construction provides protection against slush and cold, though they are not insulated like specialized winter boots.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the OrthoLite® Eco insoles are removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics if preferred.
Are the laces waterproof?
No, the laces are standard fabric and can absorb water. They should be allowed to air dry thoroughly if they become soaked.
How do I ensure the right fit?
The NAVIC FIT SYSTEM™ should feel snug across your midfoot without pinching. Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe.
Is this shoe good for wide feet?
The mesh construction offers some natural stretch, but those with very wide feet may find the midfoot lockdown system quite firm.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure on the top of the foot
Adjust the lacing pattern to be looser across the midfoot, utilizing the eyelets to allow for more volume.
Reduced traction in extreme mud
Ensure the 5mm lugs are free of packed mud or debris by striking the outsoles together or brushing them out.
Feet feeling damp despite waterproof construction
This is often due to internal moisture buildup. Ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking synthetic or wool hiking socks rather than cotton.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Columbia Peakfreak™ II shoes, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in Period: While the seamless mesh is comfortable immediately, wear them on shorter walks before taking on multi-day treks to ensure the midfoot lockdown is adjusted to your preference.
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush after each hike. If the shoes become muddy, wipe them down with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid soaking them in water.
- Drying: Air dry only at room temperature. Never place these shoes near direct heat sources, such as radiators or campfires, as this can damage the adhesives and the waterproof membrane.
- Lace Care: Since the laces are not waterproof, avoid letting them soak in deep puddles for extended periods to prevent them from wicking moisture toward the tongue area.
