Women's Crestwood Hiking Boot

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.

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

I have a very long and wide foot and it’s difficult for me to find shoes that fit. I have other shoes from Columbia that are 10 1/2 wide and they fit perfectly, just like these. Right out of the box, no breaking time, there’s plenty of room lengthwise and it accommodating my bunion with no issues. I will always look for Columbia shoes because I know they’re gonna fit and I know they’re good quality. Right from the box.

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

Ordered the wrong size originally, because they are wide. I had to order a second pair a half size down. Wore them on an EF trip with students to the Galapagos. Walked around 7 miles a day and my feet felt great. Didn't even break them in first and didnt have an blisters or uncomfortable pressure.

Sturdy shoes with good treaded soles. No break-in time needed. Went for a five mile hike the first day with no discomfort at all. Highly recommend!

It's Columbia it's name proceeds it's self, yet I've never owned a pair before, so first time buyer/ user. First out of the box I noticed they're laced up and ready to wear, great feature. Right out of the box I was also concerned when I noticed the toe is narrower and not rounded. I purchased 8-Wide and they fit amazingly well. There's a TINY bit too much room but they stay on and there is no footer shifting inside the shoe. When I wear thick socks in cooler weather these will still fit perfect. Removable insoles provide good support & cushion but you could replace them if you'd want. Overall construction is excellent. I love the beige & teal color combo. The shoes are very, very light weight overall. They're as light weight as my Skechers D Lites which are super light weight shoes. I REALLY don't like heavy shoes on my feet. It's 93° out so I can't attest to warmth, but these are shoes not boots so warm socks are needed in cold weather. This is a versatile shoe to wear for hiking, or shopping. They're cute enough, and stylish so they look great on no matter what. Soles are AMAZING. They are gripping our vinyl plank floors like a pro. Great treads, so no slipping around on wet, muddy, sandy terrain. Purchased these at a discount for less $$ than a pair of sneakers, great buy for my money spent. Wipe clean with a sponge or cloth. Cons: VERY MINOR - The tongue slips around and slides into the shoe when putting them on. Columbia should have put a loop on the tongue to put your laces through so this won't happen. I'm surprised they didn't! Absolutely recommend these awesome hiking shoes!

Excelentes tenis. Súper cómodos y ligeros a pesar de que tienen muy buena suela con buen agarre. Había pedido anteriormente unos de otra marca que estaban muy rígidos y pesados y los devolví. No son exageradamente calientes. Viajaré a Canadá en Diciembre y creo que complementando con calcetines de lana, no pasaré frío aunque tengo ya mis botas para nieve también de la misma marca. Columbia es garantía. Los recomiendo ampliamente.

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!
