FAQs
Are these shoes completely waterproof?
Yes, they feature a seam-sealed Omni-Tech waterproof breathable membrane designed to keep feet dry in wet conditions.
Do I need to break these in?
While the materials are designed for immediate comfort, walking in them for short periods around the house or on local paths will help the suede and midsole conform to your foot shape.
Can I use these for winter hiking?
The Crestwood WP is designed for trail hiking; while waterproof, it lacks the heavy insulation required for deep snow or extreme sub-zero temperatures.
How do I clean the mesh panels?
Use a damp cloth with a mild soap to gently wipe the mesh sections, then allow them to air dry.
Is the outsole safe for indoor use?
Yes, the Omni-Grip outsole is non-marking, making it safe for gym surfaces or indoor environments.
Do these shoes provide good arch support?
The Techlite midsole offers substantial cushioning and moderate arch support suitable for most hikers, though you can replace the factory insole with custom orthotics if preferred.
Troubleshooting
Water entering the shoe
Ensure the laces are tied properly to seal the throat of the shoe and check the upper for any debris that might compromise the seal.
Reduced grip on smooth surfaces
Clean the outsole with warm water to remove caked-on mud or debris that could be obstructing the traction patterns.
Suede material looking worn
Use a specialized suede brush to restore the nap of the leather after cleaning.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Crestwood WP shoes, proper care is essential.
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For the suede components, use a dedicated suede cleaner and avoid submerging the shoes in soapy water if possible to protect the waterproof integrity.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature. Never place them near a radiator, fireplace, or direct heat source, as this can cause the leather to crack and damage the adhesive bonds.
- Storage: Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
- Compatibility: These shoes accommodate standard hiking socks well. If you prefer thicker wool socks, ensure you account for the extra volume when checking your fit.
