FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The standard fit is designed for average width feet. While the materials offer some flexibility, they are not specifically designed as wide-fit shoes. Sizing may vary, so trying them on is recommended.

What is the best way to clean the suede and mesh upper?

For general cleaning, use a soft brush to remove dry dirt. A damp cloth with mild soap and water can be used for stains. Allow to air dry completely.

How long do the waterproofing features typically last?

The Omni-Tech membrane is durable, but its effectiveness can diminish over time with heavy use. Periodic reapplication of a suitable waterproofing treatment can help maintain performance.

Can I wear these shoes in very cold weather?

These shoes are primarily designed for hiking and general outdoor use in moderate conditions. They offer waterproofing but are not insulated for extreme cold. For very cold weather, consider adding thermal insoles or wearing insulated socks.

What is the difference between these and the Crestwood Mid Waterproof version?

The primary difference is the height. The Crestwood WP is a low-cut shoe, while the Mid Waterproof version offers ankle support with a higher cut, providing more protection against debris and twists.

Do these shoes require significant break-in time?

Most users find them comfortable relatively quickly, but like most hiking footwear, a short break-in period of a few shorter walks is recommended to allow them to mold to your feet for optimal comfort.

Troubleshooting

Feet feel wet despite the waterproof claim.

Ensure laces are tied properly to keep water from entering the top. Check for any punctures or significant wear on the shoe. Reapply waterproofing treatment if necessary.

Shoes feel uncomfortable or cause blisters.

This may indicate a need for a break-in period. Wear them for shorter walks initially. Ensure you are wearing appropriate hiking socks. Check if the size is correct and consider trying different lacing techniques.

Traction is poor on certain surfaces.

Clean the outsole treads to remove embedded mud or debris. The Omni-Grip outsole is designed for a variety of conditions, but extreme mud or ice may require specialized footwear. Ensure the shoes are not excessively worn down.

Laces fraying or breaking.

Replace the laces with a durable pair suitable for outdoor footwear. Consider using locking lace hooks if available to reduce tension on the laces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These shoes are ready to wear right out of the box. No specific setup is required beyond ensuring they fit correctly.

Compatibility: Designed for women, these shoes are suitable for most standard hiking and walking activities. They pair well with typical outdoor clothing and gear.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: After use, brush off loose dirt and mud. For tougher stains, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials and waterproofing.
  3. Waterproofing Maintenance: Periodically, you may consider using a waterproofing spray specifically designed for leather and fabric footwear to maintain the water-repellent properties of the upper. Ensure the product is compatible with Omni-Tech materials.
