These Karrimor Mount Low Walking Shoes are engineered to provide a comfortable and secure experience for your outdoor adventures. The Weathertite waterproof membrane is particularly effective in keeping your feet dry during unexpected rain showers or when traversing damp trails, making them ideal for British weather conditions.
The Dynagrip MT007 sole unit shines on mixed terrains, offering reliable traction whether you're walking on muddy paths, gravel tracks, or slightly uneven ground. This grip instills confidence with every step. The FrameFlex Chassis works in conjunction with the cushioned insole to absorb impact and provide stable support, which is crucial for reducing fatigue during longer walks.
Thanks to their suede leather and textile upper, these shoes offer a good balance of durability and flexibility, adapting well to your foot's movement. They are particularly well-suited for:
Day Hikes: Comfortable for moderate distances on well-maintained trails.
Dog Walking: Excellent for daily walks in parks or fields, regardless of damp grass.
Casual Outdoor Activities: Perfect for general use where waterproofing and comfort are desired, such as exploring nature reserves or light gardening.
Remember to properly lace up using the full lace up front to ensure a snug yet comfortable fit that prevents rubbing and maximizes support.
Lacing: Upon first use, ensure the shoes are laced correctly and securely. Adjust the lacing to achieve a snug but comfortable fit, allowing for natural foot flex without excessive tightness.
Sock Choice: Wear appropriate walking socks to enhance comfort and moisture management, especially with waterproof footwear.
Intended Use: Designed for adult males for general walking, light hiking, and outdoor activities.
Terrain: Best suited for paths, trails, and mixed terrains where reliable grip and waterproofing are beneficial. Not designed for extreme mountaineering or highly technical climbing.
Cleaning: After use, especially if muddy, clean off dirt with a soft brush or damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild shoe cleaner designed for suede and textile materials.
Drying: If wet, allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials and waterproof membrane.
Waterproofing Maintenance: Over time, the outer suede/textile may benefit from re-application of a waterproof spray designed for footwear to maintain water repellency, even though the internal Weathertite membrane provides core waterproofing.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. You may use shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
