Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for winter hiking?
They are designed for general hiking. While waterproof, they do not feature heavy insulation for extreme cold.
How do I maintain the suede finish?
Use a specialized suede brush to lift the nap and remove dirt. Avoid water-soaking the suede when cleaning.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if preferred.
Are they true to size?
The Crestwood series is generally true to size, but we recommend trying them on with the specific socks you intend to hike in.
Will the soles mark indoor floors?
No, the Omni-Grip outsole uses a non-marking rubber compound.
Troubleshooting
Feeling damp inside the shoe after stream crossings
Ensure the shoe is fully laced to the top to prevent water from entering through the ankle collar.
Accumulation of dirt in the tread
Use a stiff-bristled brush to clear debris from the Omni-Grip lugs after every use to maintain optimal traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Columbia Crestwood WP shoes last, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in: Wear them on short, flat walks before embarking on a long-distance hike to allow the suede and internal padding to contour to your foot.
- Cleaning: Remove surface mud with a soft brush once dry. If the suede gets heavily soiled, use a designated suede cleaner. Avoid machine washing or drying.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent the adhesive and waterproof membrane from degrading prematurely.
- Compatibility: These shoes work best with moisture-wicking wool or synthetic hiking socks. Avoid cotton, as it retains moisture and increases the risk of blisters.
