FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for very cold weather hiking?

The Crestwood II Waterproof Hiking Shoes are primarily designed for warm weather and summer conditions. They offer waterproofing but lack significant insulation, making them less ideal for freezing temperatures.

How do I clean the suede material?

Use a suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, a damp cloth with a mild soap solution can be used, followed by air drying. Avoid soaking the suede, and consider a suede protectant spray afterward.

What is the main advantage of the Techlite midsole?

The Techlite midsole provides superior cushioning, shock absorption, and high energy return. This translates to reduced foot fatigue and a more comfortable experience during long hikes.

Can I replace the insoles if I need more support?

Yes, the shoes are designed to accommodate standard aftermarket insoles if you require additional arch support or cushioning customization.

How long does the waterproofing typically last?

The Omni-Tech waterproof membrane is durable, but its effectiveness can diminish over time with heavy use or damage. Regular care and the use of appropriate waterproofing treatments can help extend its lifespan.

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

While designed for a standard fit, some users find them accommodating. If you have very wide feet, you might consider looking for specific wide-fit models if available or trying them on to assess the fit.

What does 'non-marking' rubber mean for the outsole?

'Non-marking' means the Omni-Grip rubber is formulated to minimize the likelihood of leaving scuff marks on indoor or light-colored surfaces, while still providing excellent traction outdoors.

Troubleshooting

Feet feel wet after hiking in the rain.

Ensure the laces are tied securely to maximize the bootie's seal. Check for any visible damage to the shoe's exterior or seams that might compromise the waterproof membrane. Allow shoes to dry completely and re-apply waterproofing treatment if necessary.

Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces.

The Omni-Grip rubber is designed for traction, but extremely slick surfaces like polished stone or ice may still pose a challenge. Ensure the sole is clean of mud or debris that could impede grip. For icy conditions, consider microspikes or other traction aids.

Discomfort or rubbing after a short period.

Verify that the size is correct and that you are wearing appropriate hiking socks. Break in the shoes with shorter walks before attempting long hikes. Ensure laces are adjusted for a snug but not overly tight fit.

Midsole feels too soft or offers insufficient support.

The Techlite midsole is designed for cushioning; however, individual support needs vary. Consider using aftermarket insoles if you require additional arch support. Ensure the shoes are fully laced to provide maximum stability.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These shoes are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you select the correct size for optimal comfort and performance. It is recommended to wear them for short periods initially to allow your feet to adjust.

Compatibility: Designed for women, these shoes are suitable for a range of outdoor activities including hiking, trail walking, and general outdoor exploration. They pair well with hiking socks for added comfort and moisture management.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After use, brush off loose dirt and debris. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh detergents.
  2. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials and waterproofing.
  3. Waterproofing Maintenance: Periodically, consider using a waterproofing spray suitable for suede and synthetic materials to maintain the effectiveness of the Omni-Tech membrane, especially after thorough cleaning.
