FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The standard version has a regular fit, though some specific series within the Crestwood line offer 'Wide' options.
Can I machine wash these shoes?
It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes, as the heat and agitation can degrade the waterproof membrane and adhesives.
How do I know if they are waterproof?
These shoes feature the Omni-Tech seam-sealed membrane, which is designed to keep water out while allowing sweat to escape.
Is the leather genuine?
Yes, the upper is constructed using suede leather combined with mesh and webbing.
Are they suitable for winter hiking?
While they offer waterproof protection, they are designed as lightweight hiking shoes and lack the heavy insulation needed for extreme cold or deep snow.
Troubleshooting
Waterproofing seems less effective after heavy use
The exterior DWR coating may have worn off; apply a specialized waterproofing spray for leather and fabric hiking footwear.
Shoes feel slippery on certain surfaces
Check the outsole for caked-on mud or debris. Use a stiff brush to clean the treads, as Omni-Grip performance relies on deep tread contact.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before your first trek, ensure the shoes are laced snugly to allow the internal structure to support your arch. When cleaning, remove loose dirt with a soft brush after each use. If the shoes become muddy, wipe them down with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid soaking the leather directly. To maintain the waterproof functionality, you may periodically apply a leather-safe water-repellent treatment. Always air dry your shoes away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, as high heat can damage the bonding agents and the leather material.
