FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for heavy trekking?
The Crestwood WP hiking shoes are best suited for day hikes and light trekking. For multi-day expeditions with heavy loads, a more robust hiking boot may be recommended.
How do I clean mud off these shoes?
Allow mud to dry slightly, then use a stiff brush to remove as much as possible. For remaining dirt, use a damp cloth. For stubborn stains on the suede, use a specialized suede cleaner.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper is primarily made of suede leather, combined with textile and webbing for durability and support.
Can I wear these shoes in very cold weather?
While waterproof, these shoes are designed for moderate temperatures. For extreme cold, consider insulated winter boots.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Based on user feedback, these shoes generally run true to size. However, trying them on or consulting a size chart is always recommended for the best fit.
How long does the waterproofing typically last?
The duration of waterproofing depends on usage and care. Regular reapplication of waterproofing spray can help maintain its effectiveness.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight or cause discomfort
Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in. Consider using thicker socks for a snugger fit or thinner socks if they feel too constricting.
Reduced water resistance over time
Reapply a quality waterproofing spray suitable for suede and textile footwear. Ensure the shoes are clean before application.
Slipping on wet surfaces
While the non-marking rubber sole offers good traction, extreme conditions may require slower movement. Ensure the sole is free of mud or debris for optimal grip.
