FAQs

Are these shoes fully waterproof?

Yes, they feature a specialized waterproof design intended to keep feet dry in wet, outdoor conditions.

Can I machine wash these shoes?

It is not recommended to machine wash your hiking shoes as it can damage the waterproof membrane and the structural integrity of the materials.

Are these suitable for wide feet?

The standard version has a regular fit. If you require extra width, look for models specifically labeled as 'Wide' in the product name.

Do I need to break these in?

While the Techlite midsole is comfortable immediately, the suede leather upper may take a few short walks to soften and conform perfectly to your foot shape.

Are they breathable?

Yes, the textile components in the upper allow for some airflow while maintaining the waterproof barrier.

Can I wear these for daily walking?

Absolutely, their cushioned design makes them great for light walking or daily use on varied surfaces.

Troubleshooting

Water entering the shoe during heavy rain

Ensure your socks are not wicking moisture into the shoe from your pant cuffs, and check the waterproof membrane for debris or damage.

Reduced grip on trails

Check the outsole for caked-on mud or debris. Cleaning the grooves with a brush often restores the Omni-Grip performance.

Discomfort during long hikes

Try adjusting your lacing technique to relieve pressure points, or consider using an aftermarket moisture-wicking insole if you require more arch support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Columbia Crestwood shoes last, follow these care instructions:

  1. Cleaning: After your hike, brush off loose dirt with a soft brush. For stubborn mud, wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid soaking the shoes in a bucket.
  2. Drying: Air dry your shoes in a cool, well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, which can damage the waterproof membrane and adhesives.
  3. Storage: Store in a dry, cool place to prevent mold growth on the suede materials.
