FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The product description does not specify a wide fit option for this particular model (MPN: 1765411-006). However, other variants like 'Crestwood Mid WP Wide' might be available. It's recommended to check for specific wide-fit models.

How do I best clean the suede material?

Gently brush off dry dirt. For stains, use a damp cloth with a mild soap solution, then rinse with a clean damp cloth. Always air dry away from direct heat and consider using a suede protector spray afterward.

Will my feet stay dry in heavy rain?

Yes, the OMNI-TECH technology provides a waterproof and breathable barrier designed to keep water out while allowing perspiration to escape, ensuring your feet stay dry in various weather conditions, including heavy rain.

What kind of terrain are these shoes best for?

These shoes are designed for multiple activities on the trail and offer advanced traction suitable for various terrains, including packed dirt, gravel, and moderately wet or uneven surfaces.

Can I wear these shoes for casual walking as well as hiking?

Yes, the combination of all-day comfort from the TechLite midsole and durable construction makes them suitable for casual walking and everyday wear, in addition to hiking.

Is the outsole non-marking?

Yes, the Omni-Grip outsole is designed to be non-marking, which is beneficial for use on indoor surfaces or boat decks, preventing scuffs.

What is the main benefit of the TechLite midsole?

The TechLite midsole provides superior cushioning, long-lasting comfort, and high energy return, which helps reduce fatigue during extended periods of wear on your feet.

Troubleshooting

Feet feel damp despite no obvious water entry.

Ensure the OMNI-TECH membrane is intact and not compromised. Check that socks are also moisture-wicking. Allow shoes to air dry completely after use, as trapped moisture can make feet feel damp.

Traction feels reduced on certain surfaces.

Clean the Omni-Grip outsole to remove any mud, dirt, or debris that may be clogging the tread patterns. Inspect the outsole for excessive wear.

Discomfort or pressure points after wearing.

Loosen or adjust the lacing system for a more personalized fit. Ensure you are wearing appropriate hiking socks. If discomfort persists, the shoe may not be the right fit for your foot shape.

Suede upper appears discolored or stained.

Use a suede cleaner and brush specifically designed for suede to address stains. Follow with a suede protector spray to restore color and repel future stains.
