One shoe has a delamination issue. It squeaks loudly with every step - totally annoying.

Ordered a size 12 and felt a little to snug for comfort, but toe length was ok. Returned them for a size 12 Wide (a whole other story) and the replacement pair was a lot tighter on the sides and length seems shorter as now my toes are hitting the front of the show and overall very uncomfortable. I don't know if these are manufactured in different factories, but the wider shoe should have been bigger, not smaller. I'm returning them again and don't know if I will reorder since this is getting expensive. These were to replace a similar Columbia shoe, YM6390-255, that was very comfortable and which I had worn multiple pairs for years, but it looks like they discontinued it.

This Columbia Crestwood hiking shoe pluses are - a good fit, good support in the upper, lightweight, good traction sole, and breathable. I decided to replace the insole to provide the extra arch support that I need, but otherwise it's a well-constructed comfortable shoe.

Shoes feel good but they aren't completely waterproof. Wore these in terrential downpour and my feet were soaked. Good for general hiking and in light rain. Just be aware that these will not keep your feet dry in heavy rain or when walking in rain for an extended period of time.

If you plant to wear these in the car with the heat on better roll the windows down. The OUT GASSING of man made products is about the strongest I have purchased. Everything else is right up to snuff
