FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for long-distance backpacking?

The Crestwood WP shoes are designed for light to moderate hiking and day trips. For multi-day backpacking with heavy loads, consider a more robust boot with enhanced ankle support and stiffer soles.

How do I determine the correct UK size?

Refer to the sizing chart provided by Columbia or the retailer. It's often recommended to measure your foot length and compare it to the corresponding UK size. Trying them on in person is the best way to ensure a proper fit.

Can I wear these shoes in warm weather?

While the Omni-Tech membrane provides breathability, the waterproof construction can make them warmer than non-waterproof mesh shoes. They are best suited for mild to cool conditions or when wet weather is expected. For very hot, dry weather, consider a more ventilated hiking shoe.

What is the benefit of the Techlite midsole?

The Techlite midsole is engineered to be lightweight, provide superior cushioning to absorb shock, and offer high energy return, helping to reduce foot fatigue during hikes.

How often should I re-apply waterproofing spray?

The frequency depends on usage and exposure to moisture. It's advisable to re-apply waterproofing spray when you notice water no longer beads on the surface or after significant cleaning. Generally, once or twice a season of regular use is sufficient.

Are these shoes good for trail running?

These shoes are primarily designed for hiking and walking. While they offer good traction, they lack the specific flexibility and cushioning for efficient trail running compared to dedicated trail running shoes.

Troubleshooting

Feet feel damp after hiking in wet conditions.

Ensure the Omni-Tech bootie seam seals are intact and that the laces are tied tightly enough to prevent water ingress. Check if socks are causing moisture retention. Allow shoes to dry completely before next use.

Slight discomfort or rubbing during the first few wears.

This is common with new hiking shoes. Wear them around the house for short periods to break them in. Ensure the lacing is adjusted correctly, not too tight or too loose.

Traction feels reduced on slippery surfaces.

Clean the outsole of mud or debris. The Omni-Grip outsole is designed for varied conditions, but extreme mud or ice may reduce effectiveness. Consider appropriate footwear for more extreme conditions.

Shoes appear dirty after a hike.

Follow the care instructions to clean the suede, mesh, and rubber components. A regular cleaning routine will help maintain both appearance and performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These shoes are ready for use straight out of the box. Ensure they are laced appropriately for a snug but comfortable fit before your first outing.

Compatibility: Designed for women, these hiking shoes are suitable for a range of trail conditions. They are compatible with standard hiking socks.

Care:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt and debris from the suede and mesh. For tougher stains, use a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or soaking the shoes.
  2. Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Wipe clean with a damp cloth. A soft brush can be used for more stubborn dirt.
  3. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or fireplaces, as this can damage the materials. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape during drying.
  4. Waterproofing Maintenance: Periodically, you may consider using a waterproofing spray specifically designed for suede and textile footwear to refresh the water-repellent properties, especially after thorough cleaning or extensive use in wet conditions.
