FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for heavy snow?
While they are waterproof, they are designed as hiking shoes, not insulated winter boots. They perform best in light snow or slushy conditions.
Can I use these for trail running?
While lightweight, they are built specifically for hiking. They may be heavier and less flexible than dedicated trail running shoes.
How should I clean the suede upper?
Use a specialized suede brush or a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dried dirt. Avoid soaking the suede.
Are the soles non-marking?
Yes, the Omni-Grip rubber compound is non-marking, making them safe for indoor use if needed.
Do I need to apply waterproofing spray?
They feature a built-in waterproof design, but you can use a leather-safe water repellent spray periodically to maintain the suede's external water resistance.
What is the best way to dry them if they get soaked?
Stuff the interior with newspaper to absorb moisture and place them in a well-ventilated area. Never put them near radiators or fires.
Troubleshooting
Water entering the shoe
Ensure the laces are tightened properly to seal the tongue area, and check for any debris trapped inside.
Slippery performance on wet surfaces
Clean the Omni-Grip sole of any caked-on mud or debris that may be obstructing the tread pattern.
Discomfort during long walks
Check that your socks are moisture-wicking and appropriate for hiking; consider adjusting lacing tension to reduce pressure points.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Columbia Crestwood shoes last, properly break them in by wearing them on shorter walks before embarking on long hikes. For care, keep the suede clean by using a soft brush to remove loose dirt after each hike. If the shoes become very muddy, wipe them down with a damp cloth and allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, which can damage the waterproof membrane. Avoid machine washing or drying, as these processes can compromise the structural integrity and the waterproof adhesive seals.
