The Karrimor Mount Mid Walking Boots are designed for hikers and outdoor enthusiasts seeking reliable footwear for varied terrain. They offer essential waterproof protection, breathability, and robust traction to keep your feet dry and secure on trails. While excellent for general walking and hiking, users should note their mid-height ankle support is best suited for moderate trails rather than extreme mountaineering.

The Karrimor Mount Mid Walking Boots are engineered for optimal performance during day hikes, trail walking, and general outdoor pursuits. The integrated Weathertite membrane is crucial for keeping your feet dry when navigating muddy paths or crossing shallow streams, making them reliable in unpredictable weather. The combination of breathable mesh panels and the waterproof membrane ensures that while water stays out, perspiration can escape, preventing discomfort and reducing the risk of blisters on longer excursions.
With the Dynagrip rugged outsole, these boots provide consistent and dependable traction across a range of surfaces. Whether you're traversing loose gravel, wet earth, or uneven rocky sections, the sole's design aims to provide stability and grip. The padded ankle collar and lace-up front allow for a customizable, secure fit that minimizes foot movement within the boot, which is vital for preventing friction and ensuring comfort over many miles. The Frame Flex chassis adds a layer of underfoot support and rigidity, helping to protect your feet from sharp objects and providing stability on varied terrain.
These boots are an excellent choice for individuals who enjoy regular walks and hikes on established trails and moderate off-road paths, where waterproof protection and good grip are essential.
Lacing: Ensure the laces are snug but not overly tight. Start from the bottom eyelets and work your way up, pulling gently to secure your foot. The padded ankle collar should fit comfortably around your ankle without restricting movement.
Break-in Period: It is recommended to wear your new boots for shorter walks initially to allow them to mold to your feet before embarking on longer hikes. This helps prevent discomfort and blisters.
Socks: For optimal comfort and performance, wear moisture-wicking hiking socks. These socks help manage sweat, enhance breathability, and provide additional cushioning, complementing the boot's features.
Terrain: Best suited for walking, hiking, and trekking on established trails, footpaths, and moderate off-road terrain. Not designed for technical mountaineering or extreme winter conditions without additional insulation.
Cleaning: After each use, brush off loose dirt and debris. For more stubborn mud, wipe the boots with a damp cloth or use a specialized footwear cleaner. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive brushes that could damage the materials.
Drying: Always allow your boots to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources (like radiators or open fires), which can damage the leather and synthetic components.
Waterproofing Maintenance: While the boots feature a Weathertite membrane for internal waterproofing, the outer material's water repellency (Durable Water Repellent or DWR) can diminish over time. Periodically clean the boots and apply a suitable re-proofing spray or wax specifically designed for waterproof/breathable footwear to maintain external water repellency and prevent the outer fabric from 'wetting out'.
Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place, away from direct sunlight, when not in use.
