Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for heavy-duty trekking or mountaineering?
The Columbia Crestwood shoes are designed for general hiking and walking on varied terrain. For extreme conditions like mountaineering, specialized technical footwear is recommended.
How do I know if the size UK 13 is right for me?
UK size 13 is a larger size. It's recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with standard sizing charts or try them on if possible to ensure a proper fit, especially considering the width and arch support.
Can I machine wash these hiking shoes?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and waterproofing features of the shoes.
What is the primary benefit of the Techlite midsole?
The Techlite midsole is designed to be lightweight, providing long-lasting comfort, superior cushioning, and high energy return, which helps reduce foot fatigue during extended use.
Will these shoes keep my feet warm in cold weather?
While the shoes offer waterproofing, they are not insulated for extreme cold. They are best suited for moderate temperatures. For very cold conditions, consider adding thermal socks.
How often should I re-waterproof the shoes?
Re-waterproofing is generally needed when you notice water is no longer beading on the surface or your feet are getting damp. This depends on usage frequency and environmental conditions, typically ranging from yearly to every few years.
Are the laces included, and are they replaceable?
Yes, laces are included. Standard shoelaces can be used as replacements if the original ones become worn or damaged.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel damp after hiking in wet conditions.
Ensure the shoes are properly laced to create a snug seal. Check for any damage to the Omni-Tech membrane. If the shoes are old, the waterproofing may have degraded and may require re-treatment or replacement.
Slipping on certain surfaces.
Clean the Omni-Grip outsole to remove any packed-in mud or debris. The Omni-Grip technology is designed for general traction; for extremely slick or specialized surfaces, additional caution may be needed.
Discomfort or rubbing after initial wear.
The shoes may require a break-in period. Wear them for shorter walks initially. Ensure you are wearing appropriate hiking socks. Adjust lacing to find a more comfortable fit.
Visible wear and tear on the upper.
Inspect the leather, mesh, and webbing for damage. Minor scuffs on leather can often be buffed out. Significant tears in mesh or webbing may compromise the shoe's integrity and waterproofing.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: After use, remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh detergents or solvents.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or fires, as this can damage the materials. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape during drying.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: Periodically check the waterproofing. If performance diminishes, consider using a suitable waterproofing spray designed for leather and synthetic outdoor footwear, following the product's instructions.
