FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for very cold weather?
While these shoes offer excellent waterproofing and breathability, they are primarily designed for three-season hiking. For extreme cold, consider adding thermal socks or a different footwear model with insulation.
How do I know if the sizing is right for me?
Refer to Columbia's sizing charts for accurate measurements. Due to the natural midfoot lock-down, it's highly recommended to try these shoes on with the type of socks you plan to wear while hiking to ensure a comfortable and secure fit.
Can I use these shoes for casual wear?
Yes, the breathable and waterproof features make them comfortable for casual wear, especially in unpredictable weather. However, their technical design is optimized for hiking performance.
What is the main advantage of the NAVIC FIT SYSTEM?
The NAVIC FIT SYSTEM is engineered to provide a secure and natural midfoot lock-down, enhancing stability and support during movement on uneven terrain, reducing the risk of foot slippage within the shoe.
How often should I clean my hiking shoes?
Clean your shoes after particularly muddy or wet hikes. For general maintenance, a light brushing and wipe-down can be done as needed to keep them in good condition.
What is the lug height on the outsole?
The outsole features hike-specific traction with 5mm lug heights, providing reliable grip on various outdoor surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel damp despite waterproof claims
Ensure the OutDry membrane is intact and not punctured. Check that laces are tied tightly and the tongue is properly positioned to prevent water ingress from the top. If the issue persists, the waterproofing may be compromised.
Slipping on wet surfaces
Clean the outsole of any mud or debris, as this can affect traction. The Adapt Trax outsole is designed for excellent grip, but extreme conditions or debris can reduce its effectiveness. Ensure you are walking at a moderate pace on very slippery surfaces.
Discomfort or rubbing during hikes
Adjust the lacing for a more customized fit, ensuring the NAVIC FIT SYSTEM is engaged correctly. If the discomfort persists, consider wearing different thickness socks or trying the shoes on with an insole that better suits your foot shape.
Reduced cushioning over time
The OrthoLite Eco insole and Techlite+ midsole are designed for durability, but cushioning can naturally decrease with extensive use. Consider replacing the insole if significant cushioning loss is experienced.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These shoes require no specific setup beyond lacing them to your preferred fit. Ensure they are snug but not constricting for optimal performance and comfort.
Compatibility: Designed for men's UK size 12 foot, they are compatible with standard hiking socks. Their design is suitable for a wide range of hiking terrains.
Care: To maintain the waterproof properties and overall condition:
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. Use a damp cloth to wipe down the exterior. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and retain shape during drying.
- Waterproofing: Periodically check the waterproof treatment. For enhanced water repellency, consider using a waterproofing spray specifically designed for outdoor footwear, following the product's instructions.
