FAQs
Are these shoes fully waterproof?
Yes, they feature a specialized waterproof construction designed to keep feet dry in typical trail conditions.
Can I use these for running?
While they are comfortable, they are specifically designed for hiking and may lack the specific motion-control features required for dedicated running.
Do I need to spray them with a protectant?
While not required, applying a suede-safe water repellent can help maintain the waterproof integrity over time.
What is the sizing like?
These shoes follow standard adult UK sizing; if you plan to wear thick wool hiking socks, consider if you prefer extra room in the toe box.
Can the insoles be removed?
Yes, the internal cushioning insoles can be removed if you need to insert custom orthotics.
Are they heavy?
No, they utilize Techlite material to keep the overall weight low while maintaining structural integrity.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel damp inside after light rain
Ensure the laces are tightened properly to prevent water from entering through the ankle collar.
Suede appears dull or dirty
Use a specialized suede brush to gently restore the nap of the material after cleaning.
Traction loss on very steep, loose slopes
The Crestwood is designed for standard trails; avoid extreme vertical terrain where technical mountaineering boots are required.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before your first hike, ensure you have broken in the shoes by wearing them on short walks around your local neighborhood. To maintain the integrity of the waterproof membrane and the aesthetic of the suede upper, wipe off mud and loose debris with a soft, dry brush after every excursion. If the shoes become heavily soiled, use a damp cloth with mild soap, avoiding harsh chemicals that may degrade the adhesive or waterproof coating. Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the suede from fading or drying out prematurely.
