FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for heavy-duty mountaineering?
No, the CRESTWOOD MID WATERPROOF shoes are designed for moderate hiking and trail walking. They do not provide the ankle support or ruggedness required for mountaineering or extremely technical terrain.
How do I clean the suede leather parts?
Use a suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, a damp cloth with a very mild soap can be used cautiously. Always allow to air dry and consider a suede protector spray afterward.
Will my feet get hot in these shoes?
The shoes feature a breathable membrane and mesh panels to help manage heat and moisture. However, in very hot climates, they may feel warmer than unlined shoes.
What is the best way to ensure the waterproofing lasts?
Keep the shoes clean and dry them naturally after use. Periodically applying a suitable fabric protector spray can help maintain water repellency.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are typically removable and can be replaced with aftermarket insoles for customized cushioning or support.
What kind of socks should I wear with these shoes?
Wearing moisture-wicking hiking socks made of wool or synthetic blends is recommended to complement the shoe's breathability and keep your feet comfortable.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel wet inside
Ensure the waterproof membrane is intact and that water is not entering through the upper opening. Check that laces are tied securely but not overly tight, which could create pressure points for moisture.
Slipping on surfaces
Clean the outsole of mud or debris, as this can reduce traction. Ensure you are walking on appropriate terrain for the shoe's intended use. For persistent slipping, consider using aftermarket insoles if the issue is with footbed cushioning.
Discomfort or rubbing
Break in the shoes gradually with shorter walks. Ensure you are wearing appropriate hiking socks. Check that the lacing is adjusted correctly for a snug but not constricting fit.
