Full details
The Columbia Peakfreak II OutDry hiking shoes are designed for adult male hikers seeking a blend of high-performance traction and waterproof protection on varied terrain.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Peakfreak II series includes 'Wide' variants specifically designed to provide extra room for wider foot profiles.
Can I use these for winter hiking?
While the OutDry membrane offers water protection, these shoes are not insulated for sub-zero temperatures. They are best suited for three-season hiking.
How do I ensure a proper fit?
Measure your foot while wearing your typical hiking socks. The Navic Fit System should feel secure across the arch without pinching.
What is the lug depth?
These shoes feature 5mm lug heights specifically engineered for high-performance trail traction.
Can the insoles be replaced?
Yes, the OrthoLite Eco insoles are removable and can be swapped for custom orthotics or replacement insoles.
How does OutDry differ from other membranes?
OutDry is a laminated technology that bonds the waterproof layer directly to the outer fabric, which prevents water from sitting between the layers and becoming heavy.
Troubleshooting
Moisture accumulation inside the shoe
Ensure the shoe is laced securely to prevent water entering from the ankle; if moisture persists, check for any tears in the membrane or clean the interior to remove accumulated sweat salts.
Reduced traction on slick surfaces
Check the 5mm lugs for packed mud or debris; use a stiff brush to clear the tread patterns to regain optimal grip.
Insole discomfort
Ensure the OrthoLite insole is correctly seated in the heel and arch area; if it has lost cushioning over time, consider replacing it with an aftermarket hiking-specific insole.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Superior waterproof protection with OutDry technology
- Excellent grip on uneven terrain with 5mm lug depth
- Highly responsive underfoot cushioning
- Secure midfoot lock down system
- Environmentally conscious insole materials
Cons
- Waterproof membrane may reduce overall breathability

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best performance, ensure the laces are tightened using the Navic Fit system to achieve a secure midfoot hold.
Care Instructions:
- After use on muddy trails, brush off excess debris once dry.
- Clean the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary.
- Do not submerge the shoes in a washing machine, as this can degrade the waterproof membrane.
- Air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent material cracking or adhesive damage.
- Remove the OrthoLite insole occasionally to allow for deeper cleaning and faster internal drying.
