FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for professional trekking?
They are ideal for light to moderate day hiking but may not offer the heavy-duty support required for professional-grade, multi-day mountaineering.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the adhesive and the suede materials. Always clean them by hand.
What does the Techlite midsole do?
It provides superior cushioning and energy return, which helps reduce impact stress on your joints while walking.
Do these come in wide widths?
This specific model is designed for a standard fit, though other series within the Crestwood collection may offer wide-width alternatives.
How often should I re-waterproof the suede?
If you notice water is no longer beading off the surface, it is time to apply a water-repellent treatment.
Troubleshooting
Water leaking into the shoe
Ensure the waterproof membrane is not damaged and verify that the water is not entering through the top of the shoe (via socks).
Accumulated dirt on suede
Use a specialized suede eraser or a soft brush once the mud has dried to lift stains without damaging the texture.
Soles feeling slippery
Clean any debris or mud out of the lug pattern on the Omni-Grip sole to restore full contact and traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Ensure you wear the appropriate hiking socks to achieve the best fit for your UK size 8. To maintain the integrity of the suede upper, wipe away loose dirt after every hike using a soft-bristled brush. If the shoes become muddy, use a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid soaking the suede completely. Re-apply a waterproofing spray formulated for leather and suede periodically to ensure the protective layer remains intact. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or artificial heat sources, as high temperatures can dry out the materials.
