Customer Reviews Columbia Crestwood Mid Waterproof

I bought these for my 13 year old daughter. As other reviewers suggested, I sized up. She normally wears a 9 or 9.5, and I ordered both the 9.5 and 10. It was the 10 that worked.

These were comfortable and felt supportive and stable. However, for hiking boots I really needed a wide width, and these did not come in wide. Also, they lace through holes all the way to the top, instead of having the little hooks that you hook the laces around. For me, the unlacing and loosening to get them off after a hike would have been a major annoyance.

Awesome support! Surprised how cushioned and supportive these boots are. I was looking forward to wearing them on a book club retreat, but need a larger size and they are out of stock. On my initial order, I ordered another Columbia boot at the same time, the Redmond Mid Waterproof, and it was significantly smaller with no support or cushion. .

I bought two pairs of Columbia boots in different styles, both size 6.5. The other pair was too big; my heel was lifting too much. This pair was too small -- I could barely get into them. There were no size 7's in stock, so I ended up having to return both and go with a completelly different brand. I really liked the style of these boots and they're well-made, so it's a shame that Columbia can't get its sizing more consistent from one style to another.

I usually wear Columbia boots 7.5W - this pair feels narrow and as comfortable as other Columbia boots. I did not return them because they look nice and it's hard to find black suede boots with black sole.
