Columbia Women’s Crestwood Hiking Boot

Quality and a great price
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

Great Hikers
I love these hikers! So comfortable right out of the box! Good arch support and breathable. The size is perfect! I have bunions and these hikers are really wonderful that area. I hike in the mountains here and even new they were awesome!

Great Quality 😃👍
Great Quality!It is a challenge to purchase shoes these days. Either poor quality materials, wrong sizes or the difficulty of shopping online for a product guided by the picture. These hiking shoes were a total success. I really like them, they are comfortable with their original inserts. Although, I did swap the inserts for the orthopedic ones. They keep my foot stable, the material quality is 😃👍. So happy with my purchase.

Exceeded expectations!
I’ll start by saying that what attracted me to these shoes was the fact that the insoles were removable. I wanted to wear these outside without placing my own insoles in them prior to give most honest review.So far yesterday, I’ve done nearly 10,000 steps in these shoes with stock insoles and 5,000 steps today.I’m completely shocked. Earlier this last spring I bought a pair of Sketchers with memory foam insoles. After half a day walking in them, I was in pain. I had bought the same brand of sketchers multiple times and never had those kinds of issues before. Essentially, those shoes only got used for chores time, and I’d take them off as soon as I could. I thought my feet were getting worse (and I’m sure they have) .I bought a pair of arch support insoles and found that I could walk in those shoes, so wore them all the time afterwards with no issues. By the time the shoes were 6 months old, the sole of the shoes got so bad they were detached everywhere but the heel- duck tape was my friend- but I knew i had to replace them. (I say 6 months- but over 2 months of that time I avoided using those shoes at all because of the pain they inflicted on my feet)I cannot say if these shoes will last any longer than the sketchers but what I can say is as someone who has super bad feet- these shoes without my insoles were comfortable. I was skeptical and thought to myself that I’d remove the current and put in my good insoles if this trial period was a fail- but I’ll admit, these shoes are comfortable. There’s not much cushion nor does there seem to be much of the arch support that my feet appear to demand- but my feet are not screaming at me. I’ll probably finish out the day with the stock insoles, and tonight when I take them off for the day replace the insoles with my arch support insoles.I’m completely shocked that my feet are not screaming in pain. I do hope these last longer than 6 months- but I’m well aware I live in shoes during the day, training dogs, doing farm chores, generally hitting 15000-20000 steps in my “work” shoes alone. If these shoes hit 6 months of daily use I’ll definitely buy again. I know they are from a good brand so I’m crossing my fingers.I’m pretty sure that anyone who does not have feet half as touchy as mine would never consider insoles- or maybe these just support my feet the way my feet are better than I think- unsure- I just know I would have overlooked these shoes completely had i not been expecting to put my insoles in them and was considering their comfort level out of the box.The very fact that I can still walk right now after the second half of yesterday and this morning is amazing. I definitely recommend these shoes.I bought size 9 because I know my insoles are a bit bulky and I feel as though I could have gotten away with 8.5 (my usual size). I cannot say if these are fully blister resistant- however I will say I’ve put alot of use into this new pair and not even close to blistering. The grip these provide help their functionality while I’m out doing chores. I believe these are a great value for money, even though I’m pretty certain I’ll need to utilize my own insoles for long term proper support of my arches.As I said before- I fully intend on being these again if they are not nearly as fallen apart as my old sketchers were after 6 months of use.

Had previous version and these are good as my old one.

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!
