Update 1/19/25: I have now worn this newest pair of Columbia Men's Crestwood shoe for almost 14 months. I still like the shoes as I do wear them most everyday. Each shoe has now developed a small hole in the mesh over the toe area. The left shoe has a hole about the size of a pea and the right shoe has a hole about the size of a pencil eraser, both in the mesh on the outside toe area. The holes aren't expanding in size very fast. The shoes still are waterproof and the soles are worn down about half way. The sole on the left foot is just barely beginning to separate from the shoe itself near and under the big toe (a little shoe glue may fix this!). Other than the unsightly two holes in the mesh and the small separation of sole, the shoes seem to be holding up very well for daily use.Update 12/6/23: I purchased the Columbia Men's Crestwood Hiking shoe, in "Mud/Squash", over two and a half years ago and they have been very good shoes. I did have one little tear in the mesh, about the size of a pea, directly where it joins the black toe guard. It never grew in size and I wore these shoes several times a week over the years doing various activities in them. They always looked good but were showing a little wear on the soles......so, I bought another pair in grey and I am very pleased with them. I will continue to use the old pair to work around the house and will wear the new ones for daily wear away from home. So, do I like them? I DID buy another pair after wearing my first pair for over 2.5 years! Yes.....I am very pleased with these shoes and the service they have given me!I purchased the Columbia Men's Crestwood Waterproof Hiking Shoe in a size 13 wide in the "Mud/Squash" color! I was a little hesitant to purchase these on-line, since most shoes (sneakers/hiking) I purchase seem to run somewhat small! Before purchasing, I had my foot measured at a shoe store and it was a 12.5 men's US length. So, after reading reviews stating the size was accurate, I ordered the 13 Wides. I have had them for about 3 weeks and they are just great! The size (13) fits very comfortably and correctly on my foot and they are "cushy" and easy to walk in. I like the way the shoes look and feel on my feet. They are waterproof and have a label on each shoe's outer side, stating "Waterproof". The toe "kick" is made of rubber and wraps around the toe of each shoe. The soles feel like they are rubber too. I primarily purchased them for walking, but will use them for some hiking too! So far, I am very pleased with the look and feel of these shoes!The one criticism I have of the shoes it the arch is not quite high enough for me. I have flat feet and would have enjoyed having a little more arch support in each shoe, but I can always add a little more arch support if it becomes a problem. I usually purchase the 13M's, but I went with the 13W and am glad I did!So far, I am pleased with the look, feel (arch support could have been more pronounced), and sturdiness of the shoe! The only thing I can't tell you yet, is about the durability of the shoe. But time will tell.....and so will I if they don't meet my expectations!
