FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for winter hiking?
While they are waterproof, they are not insulated for sub-zero temperatures. They are best suited for spring, summer, and autumn hiking.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the adhesive and the structural integrity of the suede and waterproof membrane.
Do I need to break these in?
These shoes are designed for immediate comfort, but a short walk around your neighborhood is recommended to ensure a proper fit before hitting a long trail.
Are these considered wide-fit?
This specific model is standard width; please check the product label if you require a wide-fit variant.
Can I use my own orthotic insoles?
Yes, the stock insoles are removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics if preferred.
Troubleshooting
Water entering the shoe during heavy rain
Ensure the laces are tightened properly to seal the tongue area and check that the waterproof coating hasn't been compromised by deep scratches.
Reduced traction on slippery surfaces
Check the outsole for packed-in mud or debris; use a stiff brush to clear the tread patterns for maximum grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before your first hike, ensure the fit is correct by wearing the socks you intend to use on the trail. The Crestwood WP should feel snug but not restrictive.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Gently brush off dry dirt with a soft-bristled brush.
- Stains: For suede areas, use a specialized suede cleaner and avoid submerging the shoe in water.
- Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can crack the leather or warp the midsole.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to prevent mold and maintain the integrity of the waterproofing membrane.
