The Karrimor Mount Mid Waterproof Walking Boots are designed for hikers and outdoor enthusiasts seeking comfort and protection on varied terrain. With a focus on keeping your feet dry and supported, these boots offer a blend of waterproofing and breathability for day-long treks. While excellent for general trail use, ensure proper break-in to maximize comfort on longer excursions.
Weathertite Waterproof/Breathable: Keeps feet dry from external moisture while allowing internal perspiration to escape, enhancing comfort in diverse weather conditions.
Breathable Mesh Panels: Integrated into the upper construction, these panels improve air circulation, reducing heat buildup and maintaining a comfortable foot environment.

The Karrimor Mount Mid Waterproof Walking Boots are built for general hiking and walking on varied terrains.
These boots excel on maintained trails, forest paths, and uneven natural ground. The Dynagrip rugged outsole ensures reliable traction, making them suitable for ascents and descents, even when surfaces are loose or damp.
Thanks to the Weathertite waterproof treatment, your feet will remain dry through puddles, light rain, and dewy grass. This feature is particularly beneficial for unpredictable weather conditions or when crossing shallow streams.
The padded ankle collar and breathable mesh panels work together to keep you comfortable during long walks. The mesh helps to vent heat, preventing your feet from getting overly sweaty, which is crucial for preventing blisters. The Frame Flex Chassis provides the necessary underfoot support, reducing foot fatigue on longer hikes.
Day Hikes: Perfect for a full day out on local trails, offering protection and comfort.
Weekend Backpacking: Suitable for light backpacking trips where conditions might be damp.
Dog Walking: Reliable for daily walks in parks or fields, regardless of morning dew or light rain.
Variable Terrain: From muddy tracks to stony paths, the outsole's grip instills confidence.
Try On with Hiking Socks: Always try your boots on with the type of socks you plan to wear while hiking to ensure a proper fit.
Lacing Technique: Utilize the lace-up front to create a snug but not overly tight fit. Start by tightening laces from the toes upwards, ensuring your heel is secure in the heel cup. You can use different lacing techniques (e.g., surgeon's knot at the ankle) to customize pressure points and prevent slippage.
Break-In Period: Before a long hike, wear your new boots for several shorter walks around your neighborhood or on easy trails. This allows the materials to soften and conform to your foot shape, preventing discomfort later.
Socks: Wear moisture-wicking hiking socks (wool or synthetic blends) to prevent blisters and manage moisture, complementing the boots' breathability. Avoid cotton socks.
Terrain: Best suited for walking, hiking, and light trekking on varied natural terrains. Not designed for technical climbing or heavy mountaineering.
Weather: Ideal for mild to moderate wet and dry conditions. For extreme cold, consider additional thermal socks or dedicated winter boots.
Cleaning: After each use, brush off loose dirt and debris. For tougher mud, use a soft brush and lukewarm water. Avoid harsh detergents.
Drying: Remove insoles and laces, then allow the boots to air dry naturally in a well-ventilated area, away from direct heat sources (like radiators or fireplaces). Direct heat can damage the leather and adhesives.
Re-waterproofing: Over time, the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating on the exterior can wear off. Periodically apply a suitable waterproof treatment for leather/textile footwear to maintain the Weathertite performance.
Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Consider using boot trees or stuffing them with newspaper to help retain their shape.
Inspect Regularly: Check for wear and tear, especially on the outsole and seams, to catch small issues before they become larger problems.
