Overview

A hiker who wants a light shoe for dry trails gets suede leather and breathable mesh in the Crestwood, over a Techlite cushioned midsole and the Omni-Grip traction sole.

Choose it for dry ground, dirt and rocks where low weight and traction matter more than ankle support. Several fields clash, with the closure listed as pull-on and the outer material as canvas, so the exact build is harder to confirm.

Who it's for

Dry-weather trail walks and mixed outdoor days suit the grippy outsole and breathable mesh. Those hiking in rain or mud, or needing a boot with a taller shaft, should look at other footwear.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Lightweight leather and mesh build
  • Omni-Grip traction outsole
  • Non-marking rubber sole
  • Techlite cushioned midsole
Cons
  • Not water resistant
  • Closure field says pull-on, not laces
  • Outer material field reads canvas
  • Low top, no ankle support

Performance notes

Traction comes from the Omni-Grip rubber outsole, which grips dirt and rock, and the same sole is non-marking so it leaves no scuffs indoors. The Techlite midsole absorbs impact at a moderate level. The mesh webbing lets air through, which suits dry, warm hikes.
