FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The standard Columbia Crestwood model has a medium width. If you require extra space, look for specific 'Wide' variants within the Crestwood series.
Can I use these for winter hiking?
While they are waterproof, they are not insulated. They are best suited for 3-season use rather than extreme cold or deep snow.
How do I know if they are the right size?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to prevent toe bruising on descents.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the internal footbeds are removable, allowing you to replace them with custom orthotics if needed.
Does the non-marking sole damage indoor floors?
The Omni-Grip sole is non-marking, meaning it is safe for gym floors or indoor use, though hiking shoes should be cleaned of debris before moving indoors.
Troubleshooting
Footbed feels slippery inside the shoe
Ensure the factory-supplied insole is positioned correctly and try wearing moisture-wicking hiking socks to prevent slipping.
Waterproof performance seems to decrease over time
The exterior durable water repellent (DWR) coating may need to be reapplied using a spray-on treatment after significant use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before hitting the trails, ensure the shoes are properly laced to secure the midfoot. For care, gently brush off dried mud or debris after each use to keep the suede from hardening. If the shoes become wet, air dry them naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, as extreme heat can compromise the waterproof membrane and the glue bonding. When cleaning, use a damp cloth for the textile parts and a specialized suede cleaner if the leather begins to look dull. Avoid machine washing to maintain the structural integrity of the upper.
