The Karrimor Mount Mid Walking Boots are engineered for hikers and avid walkers who need reliable footwear for diverse outdoor conditions. They excel in scenarios where weather protection and surefootedness are paramount.
Wet & Muddy Trails: The Weathertite waterproof treatment means you can confidently traverse wet grass, shallow puddles, and muddy paths without your feet getting soaked. The rugged outsole with Dynagrip technology digs into soft ground, providing essential grip and preventing slips.
Uneven & Rocky Terrain: The Frame Flex chassis provides crucial stability, reducing strain on your feet and ankles when navigating rocky trails or uneven surfaces. The padded ankle collar adds another layer of support and protection against twists and bumps.
Long-Distance Walks: Breathable mesh panels help to manage internal moisture, keeping your feet cooler and reducing the risk of blisters on extended hikes. The secure laced closure ensures a consistent, comfortable fit throughout your journey.
These boots are suitable for day hikes, multi-day backpacking trips (depending on pack weight), and general outdoor adventures where robust foot protection is needed. They perform best when paired with appropriate hiking socks to maximize breathability and comfort.
Initial Fitting: When you first try on your Karrimor Mount boots, wear the type of hiking socks you intend to use. Ensure there's a thumb's width space between your longest toe and the end of the boot, and that your heel doesn't slip excessively when walking.
Lacing: Utilize the full lacing system for a secure and comfortable fit. Start from the bottom eyelets, pulling snugly but not too tightly. When you reach the ankle, ensure the laces are firm to provide support without restricting circulation. Experiment with different lacing techniques to find what's most comfortable for your foot shape.
Break-in Period: It's advisable to wear your new boots on short walks before tackling a long hike. This allows the materials to soften and conform to your feet, reducing the risk of blisters.
Socks: Always wear good quality hiking socks, preferably wool or synthetic blends. Avoid cotton, as it retains moisture and can lead to blisters.
Terrain: These boots are designed for varied terrain including trails, mud, gravel, and moderate rocky paths. They are suitable for environments where waterproofing and good traction are beneficial.
Gaiters: For very wet or snowy conditions, consider using gaiters to prevent water and debris from entering the top of your boots.
Cleaning: After each use, especially in muddy conditions, brush off loose dirt with a soft brush. For stubborn dirt, wipe the boots with a damp cloth. Do not machine wash or use harsh detergents.
Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or campfires, as this can damage the leather and waterproof membrane. You can stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape.
Waterproofing Maintenance: Over time, the external DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment may wear off. Regularly re-treat the leather and textile upper with a suitable waterproof spray or wax designed for breathable footwear to maintain its performance.
Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place, away from direct sunlight. Ensure they are clean and dry before storing for extended periods.
