Women's Crestwood Hiking Boot

No arch support per se but I was expecting that and bought some quality innersoles to replace the ones that the shoes came with. I walk between 8-10 miles a day and I wear out shoes like nobody’s business. It was getting pretty expensive to replace shoes every few months. I have several pairs of Columbia snow boots and I find that they are well made so I thought I would try Columbia hiking shoes. I specifically wanted waterproof shoes. I purchased 1/2 size larger than my normal shoe size to accommodate the replacement innersoles as well as to be able to wear thick socks. I have only worn them for a 1.5 mile walk to get my mail but they are quite comfortable. Lots of room in the toe box which is a must for me. These shoes have a bit of a stiff sole but I prefer that in my shoes. I think these shoes are going to be fine for my walks when it is raining. They are well made with no lumps or bumps or stray threads. They are a fraction of the price of high end hiking/walking shoes. I am quite happy with my purchase

Comfortable, fit well, good quality. I can wear mine for hours without any problems. Highly recommend

I was hesitant to buy this brand online because there are only certain brands that I know will fit my feet. These are great and I have had no problems with fit or quality. They are comfortable and I am happy that I was able to purchase them at a sale price. If you want more arch support, you need to add inserts. I use them as an everyday shoe, not hiking trails. Disclaimer: For some reason, they seem to squeak a little when walking. It's only annoying if you are walking inside a totally quiet building.

Love these shoes. Light weight, extremely comfortable, hiked 20km the 1st wear and no problems. Not waterproof, kind of water resistant. Look nice. Recommend 🇨🇦

Very comfortable. No blisters while hiking for 5 days in Banff. Lightweight but supportive.

Such comfy walking shoes, very durable. I walk several miles daily and I’ve never had any issues with these, sporty looking and can’t say enough how comfortable they are. Great shoes!

These are great shoes for the price. Wide enough in the front. I wore them once for a 30 minute walk to break them into before the actual use. I thought I had a shoe bite. I was a bit worried. However, the next time I used them, they were very comfortable as I have always used them. The size was perfect.

I have a wide foot. I don't hike a lot, but when I'm camping or need a rugged shoe, it is important to have something that I can count on to be comfortable, durable, and light weight. I have had hiking boots and shoes before, but honestly the biggest downfalls have been that they are either very HEAVY and/or they are uncomfortable because they squeeze my foot and I lose circulation. My last pair sat in my garage, unused, because they were way too uncomfortable. I started to feel that I was never going to find a hiking shoe that would be the right fit for me. My husband has several Merrells that fit him well because his foot is on the narrow side. Over the years, I became jealous that he could find hiking shoes easily and I tried to wear Merrells also but they just aren't the brand for me. We're going to Costa Rica to do some rain forest hiking in a couple of months so I was really worried that I wouldn't be able to find something for this trip. Along came the Columbia Crestwood on Amazon and I was like, "Wait. What? This comes in a wide width, it's fashionable, AND it's lightweight and within my price range? Could this be true?" I ordered the Graphite Kettle in size 7W (my regular shoe size is 7 but I figured the wider width would allow for more room for socks). This wasn't my first choice in color but the one I wanted wasn't available in my size. I figured "What the heck, it's probably not going to fit anyways" and pulled the trigger. They arrived a few days ago and I was immediately blown away at how much I liked the color combo. It's a subtle, earthy tone and definitely won't show dirt. I love the minimal turquoise accents; just enough to be feminine without being barbie-ish. Color looks great with jeans and is neutral enought that I won't worry about wearing them with shorts or skorts of various colors. I love how the rubber side of the sole isn't white; I'm the type of person that gets anxiety if I there's any white detail on my athletic shoes and I get it dirty. Instead, the sides of the sole are a cool taupe color. Won't have to worry about dirt showing at all on these! Now down to business: I put the shoes on and was extremely impressed by the fit. Yes, the toe box and sides are wide, but not overly so. Adequate room in the toes to allow for comfort and some movement but I definitely picked the ideal size. I wear very thin socks and even then when I pulled the laces tight (not too tight), the shoe had enough give to accomodate my foot comfortably. The heel is snug so that it grips when I walked. The treads are amazing. Just walking across my hardwood they "squeaked" which told me that they were really trying to grip something. The shoe is incredibly lightweight; it felt more like a running shoe than a hiking shoe. Yes the insert is removable if you want to get orthotics (I probably won't for these but it's a nice option if I do). The laces are a cord style so they don't come undone at all. Time to put these to the test.... Hubby and I went for a 1hr, brisk, 9000 step urban hike around the lake. By "urban hike" I mean that the lake is paved with a sidewalk but we chose to walk off trail and to the side where there is a dirt path. It was a warm day reaching about 68F/20C with a cool breeze. The shoes did GREAT. For a while, I actually forgot I was wearing hiking shoes as they literally felt like running shoes. My feet stayed cool and I felt the ground was sturdy under my feet even when I purposefully stepped on piles of twigs and hard, lumpy terrain. I didn't have to adjust the laces as my feet began to "swell." I felt a little discomfort at the end of the walk at the bottom of my foot but it wasn't bad enough to make me take my shoes off. In fact, if I had to hike the path all over again this evening I'm very confident I could without resting or taking the shoes off. I was so pleased! One thing to note: I didn't lace through the top hole closest to my ankles. Initially, it didn't feel very comfortable to do so but perhaps as I break in the shoe I will want to do so for more stability. Even then, today my foot felt and ankles felt very secure in the shoe so time will tell if I need to lace them up further if I ever take on more of an incline or rugged terrain. Best of all, the price. I was preparing myself that I had to spend at least a hundo for hiking shoes that would be comfortable for my foot, probably way more. So when I saw these on Amazon for $56 I thought there's gotta be a catch. But nope, I'm here to tell you these hiking shoes are legit. If you're a casual hiker and especially if you have a wide foot (buy your regular size), get these. You will have a great, lightweight, durable, comfy shoe at a very affordable price. (PS I attached a photo with one shoe's laces pulled tighter than the other. Just wanted to see if they would both be comfortable and they were!) 1.21.25 - Just returned from an 8-day trip to Costa Rica where we did a TON of walking & hiking, per my apple watch averaging 16K steps per day and 14 flights of stairs (the mountain towns are built on steep inclines). I wore these shoes through sheets of rain, sticky tenacious mud, over jagged lava rocks, thru steams, gravel pavement, and wet grasses. These shoes are FANTASTIC. At one point on day 2, my shoes were caked with mud about an inch or 2 from the sole. Was worried that I'd have nasty shoes for the rest of the vacation. But by the next day, the mud dried and fell off and the bottom parts washed clean natrually from the dew on the grasses. By the time i wore them home on the plane a week later, my shoes looked absolutely clean (this may not be the case depending on the color that you choose). My shoes were well worn, stretched to fit my foot, and were absolutely comfortable that I didn't even know I was wearing them. They were rugged and provided tremendous grip. They absolutlely made my eco-vacation tremendously enjoyable. I don't know what else to tell you other than that I'm buying a second pair. I never want to be without this make and model of hiking shoe again.

These shoes fit just like a regular shoe size, They are very comfortable and have very good grips when walking in the snow

Todo bien con la compra. Zapato rígido, tal y como debe ser.

I knew these shoes would be great, my second pair of Columbias. I'm not easy to fit, and these are perfect for my feet. Brand-new I took them on a 6-day hiking trip and my feet never complained!

Amazing shoes! Fits tiny bit bigger

I do a 6 km daily brisk walk over multiple surfaces: asphalt, dirt, gravel, and forest trails involving rocks & tree roots, and in the winter over packed snow and ice (with crampons). When my old favourite hiking shoes fell apart and---gasp---were no longer available, I ordered these Columbia Crestwood shoes instead. They're excellent...I couldn't be happier. They're sturdy, well-made, and excellent quality. After six months of daily use, they're still looking great and going strong...they're going to last me a loooong time. They fit my average size/shape feet perfectly, and were comfortable from day one---no breaking-in period needed. Excellent support---they keep my feet securely positioned in the shoe with no sliding around, which means I can confidently maneuver over roots and uneven rocks knowing I'm not going to roll over on my ankle. They're also nice and 'grippy'...I've only ever slipped on bare ice, where any other shoe would have, too; only crampons work on ice. I'm so pleased with these shoes that I ordered a second pair to have on hand in case they're no longer available when the first pair wears out. Highly recommend.
