FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for winter hiking?
While they feature a waterproof membrane, they are primarily designed for summer and shoulder-season conditions and do not offer heavy insulation for deep snow.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the suede and the structural integrity of the shoe. Always hand-clean with a soft brush.
Is the outsole non-marking?
Yes, the Omni-Grip rubber outsole is designed as a non-marking traction system.
Do I need to break these in?
While lightweight, it is recommended to wear them for short walks to allow the materials to adapt to your foot shape before undertaking long hikes.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the internal insoles can typically be removed if you need to use custom orthotics.
Troubleshooting
Reduced traction on slick surfaces
Clean the Omni-Grip outsole thoroughly to remove packed mud or pebbles lodged in the tread pattern.
Waterproofing effectiveness seems to decline
Apply a specialized waterproof treatment spray to the suede and mesh exterior to restore the protective layer.
Shoes feel tight or cause blisters
Ensure you are wearing appropriate moisture-wicking hiking socks and consider adjusting the lacing pattern to better secure your heel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Crestwood shoes last through many seasons, begin by breaking them in with shorter walks before attempting longer treks. Because the upper features suede leather, it is important to keep them away from direct heat sources when drying, as heat can cause the material to crack or stiffen. Use a soft brush to remove dried mud and dirt after each hike to prevent debris from grinding into the mesh. For deeper cleaning, apply a dedicated suede cleaner and use a water-repellent spray periodically to maintain the waterproof integrity of the outer material.
