Columbia Women's Crestwood

sizing

hiking trail

However, I would hesitate to recommend them for expert trail hikes or climbing or if you have more serious issues with your feet.

trail shoe

What I did like, unlike many other Columbia trail shoes, is that this shoe had enough room to add an appropriate insole which does have good arch support without making my feet feel like they were stuffed inside the shoe with no room to wiggle.

I use these as a general garden and landscape trail shoe as they are lightweight with a little water resistance and have the airflow needed to not make my feet sweat especially in summertime temperatures.

They are a good basic trail shoe at a good price.

boots

Will be trying out some more Columbia shoes/boots soon i'm sure!

comfortable

These have a slightly wider toe box then some other columbia hiking shoes and were very comfortable

Comfortable
Ordered these hiking shoes as the reviews were good and the price was right.

I went for a hike without breaking them in before and they were super comfortable.

Very comfortable
These shoes are very comfortable right out of the box.

hiking

I'd definitely recommend them for summer/dry hiking!

Great grip
I just wore these all over Utah and Arizona hiking and never slipped once.

However, these are the best hiking shoes I have ever had so far.

Reasonable Splash Protection and Excellent Construction
Helpful reviews and my experience with shoes made in Vietnam guided me to order the Columbia Women's Crestwood.

Inov-8 Roclite men's 295 Trail Running Shoe

size

Although I went half a size up from my normal shoe size, initially I was concerned that the shoes may have been slightly too big when first putting them on.

I'm a size 10 and bought a size 10.5 and they are just slightly to big.

however I would say stuck with the size you are when buying

Like many running shoes, the claimed size is off.

They are about a half size larger than the stated size.

purchase

but the retailer (GritrSports) rejected my request because I bought the shoes more than 30 days ago.

And Inov-8 only offered a discount to buy another pair of shoes from them.

I have worn trail runners for over 8 years now and will never buy another pair from Inov-8 after this experience.

I made the same mistake as others in regard to sizing and fit by ordering the WRONG shoes.

But going back to the sizing - it is not the length that is a problem

I still do not get why sizing cannot be correct,

waste money

uncomfortable

It would be rather ironic (and painful) to tear up the trails only to fall in your kitchen while reaching for the Gatorade.

While I used to think the trail shoe was a gimmick to get runners to buy yet another pair of shoes, I found that these were well worth it for trail racing.

I've been a loyal Merrell fan ever since their inception and continue to be so for walking boots only.

I’ve run in these in rain and in 106° heat and they have always been comfortable and reliable—and after almost a year they are still kicking.

Bonitos y comfortable calzado, se sienten muy cómodos, ya he usado varios modelos de ésta marca y de verdad la recomiendo! .

Beautiful and comfortable shoes, they feel very comfortable, I have already used several models of this brand and I really recommend it!

Grip has been great, they dry quick and were comfy straight away I'm coming back after injury and accidently getting old and fat so 10K max so far.

Furthermore, the other concern I had about feeling every bump on the road whilst exercising also becomes a non-issue, as the shoes are comfortable and stable enough to support both foot and ankle.

Precision - fits snug and is designed for regular or narrow feet.

If you wear New Balance and find Nike's to be slightly snug, you'll like these (That's me).

waterproof

I can't fault the out-sole or the weight, or for now the quality feeling construction of the Roclites, and during my local Park Run on wet grassy slopes there wasn't a hint of a slippage from them.

Since many trail races feature water, this is a nice feature.

Once I understood the sizing, fit and ordered the correct pair of shoes, I was amazed.

They fit people who are accustom to wearing Asics or Adidas.

had to return/exchange

So I expect them to say I’m out of luck and cannot return.

wear

After wearing shoes for about one month one has a tear in it by the seem this is from walking not because they got caught on something and ripped.

walking

small-size

Narrow fit
it was too small nice shoes if they fit

running shoe

First off I should say if you are looking for trail running shoes these aren't it:  They are heavy.

but these are great trail shoes
I almost never write reviews, but I wanted to write one for these trail shoes.

The quality is obviously there, the arch support and general comfort is fantastic, and they are a good choice if you need a nearly slip-on sturdy trail shoe for more level hikes when you don't need the ankle support of a real boot.

That said that heaviness is familiar for any of us who regularly don real trail boots, and these are a great compromise.

boot

durable

I love this product and hope to buy another pair when these wear out which wont be any time soon!

Contacted the company they responded quickly the first time and asked for pics and order info I sent this to them right away.

Vibram FiveFingers Women's V-Trek Trail Hiking Shoe

Break them in
I got the same size I wear in the cvt-wool (38), and it was a wrestling match getting them on the first couple times.

It's useful to have a little extra space too, because - - I ordered socks to wear with these (so they don't get smelly) - These shoes didn't give me sufficient arch support, and I put in 3/4 inch arch/sole inserts to solve that - The back of the shoes also really dug into my heel, which hurt.

Adding the sole insert lifted my heel up and solved this issue - I am a little worried about the material on the top part of the shoe is going to wear quickly because it's such thin material. i.e.

Read the description before you buy- these aren’t meant to be super support, memory foam laden 5lb shoes!

however is not good, I had to order several pairs before a good fit.

heel

wear fast

The ankle was painful at first and one of my pinky toes felt like fabric was scratching it,

No more stiff clunky boots that don’t let you feel the terrain causing rock kicking, foot dragging misery 20 mintues in.

The fact that they are feather light allows you to enjoy the hike instead of wishing it was over so you could take your boots off.


Very comfortable, keep your toes in place.

Hands down the most comfortable, stylish, and true to size.

even just my toe nail or something rubbing against it Otherwise - I took them out hiking, walked all over rocks - they were really comfortable, had a lot of traction, and provided a lot of foot grip control climbing over things and going up/down inclines.

and comes to my 3rd pair of Trek with mega grip which provides more support on arch and feel of bounce when walk or jog.

I love how I can feel the rocks and other stuff while walking

Women's Topo, Terraventure 3 Trail Running Shoe

heel strap

I did have to play with every single lace hole to get a proper heel lock, something I never had to do with my brooks,

Disappointing: toe box rubs my big toe joint raw, no arch support, heel lock doesn't work
After all of the positive recommendations I've seen for this shoe, I am truly disappointed.

Lastly, the heel lock does not work nearly as well as it does in my other shoes.

Despite utilizing the heel lock in these, my heel was still sliding slightly against the posterior portion of the shoe.

strap

arch support

I am confused by those who praise this shoe for arch support while saying that they themselves have high arches.

I have medium-high arches and found that these shoes offer little-no arch support.

walking dog

but only after 1.5 months of receiving and starting to use them for dog walks and short runs a few times a week, they are falling apart.

It is comfortable on my wide feet, lightweight and breathable, and has lived up to it's name as a trail shoe.

ok walking trail shoe and hard surface
i bought another pair of these because i tried other topo trail shoe and  the cushion gave me shin splints didnt quite fit my high arch.

I've been looking for a pair of hiking boots/shoes that fit me and don't feel tight in the toe area - Keen's came the closest,

these ar ok, fit my high arch, wide toe box

will keep looking as topo really listens to customers and changes things up to fit great.

i have 2 other topo shoe one for road  walking which fit perfect for my wide feet and high arch.

I also attempted to correct that with Oboz insoles, which fit much better inside the shoe and were very comfortable.

My husband and I love these Topos for hiking because of the roomy toe area, a 3mm drop from the heel and the protective rock plate.

Great hikers
I bought these for a geology trip out west and these shoes worked great!

For reference I hike in the WMNF working on the 4 thousand footers, these shoes are great.

but I just wipe them down after dusty hikes and they look good again.


These shoes are the most comfortable shoe if you have poor arches.

These shoes are so comfortable, so light, and work well on dusty trails, rocky trails, steep terrain, grassy paths, and to run errands in around town.
