The Karrimor Mount Walking Boots are designed for men seeking reliable footwear for outdoor adventures, offering a crucial combination of waterproofing, breathability, and traction to keep feet dry and secure on varied terrains. While exceptionally robust, users should anticipate a short break-in period to achieve optimal comfort and fit for longer treks.

The Karrimor Mount Walking Boots are engineered to excel in outdoor environments, making them ideal for a range of activities. Their Weathertite waterproof and breathable membrane ensures your feet remain dry whether you're navigating through morning dew, sudden rain showers, or shallow puddles. Simultaneously, the breathable mesh panels prevent your feet from becoming clammy, a common issue with fully waterproof footwear.
On the trail, the rugged Dynagrip outsole comes into its own, providing reliable grip across varied surfaces. Expect confident footing on loose gravel, muddy paths, and even slick, rocky sections. The robust traction minimises the risk of slips, allowing you to focus on your surroundings rather than your foot placement.
The padded ankle collar and lace-up design work together to offer a secure and comfortable fit, crucial for preventing blisters and discomfort on longer hikes. The Frame Flex Chassis provides essential underfoot support, absorbing impact and protecting against sharp terrain, which is particularly beneficial when carrying a pack or covering uneven ground. These boots are best suited for day hikes, trail walking, and light backpacking where durability, comfort, and weather protection are paramount.
Lacing: Before your first wear, ensure the boots are laced properly. Start from the bottom eyelets, pulling snugly but not too tight. Use a lacing technique that distributes pressure evenly across your foot and around the ankle for maximum support and comfort. Experiment with different lacing patterns if you experience pressure points.
Break-in: Wear the boots for short periods around the house or on short, easy walks before attempting longer treks. This allows the boots to mould to your feet and reduces the risk of blisters.
Socks: Always wear appropriate hiking socks. These are typically thicker, moisture-wicking, and designed to prevent friction. Avoid cotton socks, as they retain moisture and can lead to blisters.
Terrain: Best suited for walking trails, hiking paths, and general outdoor use. While rugged, they are not designed for extreme mountaineering or heavy industrial use.
Cleaning: After each use, especially if muddy, clean your boots. Use a soft brush or damp cloth to remove dirt and debris from the upper and outsole. For stubborn mud, a gentle stream of water can be used.
Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the leather and adhesives, compromising waterproofing. You can stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help them retain their shape.
Waterproofing Maintenance: Over time, the external water-repellent treatment may degrade. Use a suitable DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray or treatment for leather/textile footwear to refresh the waterproofing and maintain breathability.
Leather Care: For the leather sections, occasionally apply a leather conditioner or wax specifically designed for walking boots. This keeps the leather supple and prevents cracking, extending the life of your boots.
Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight when not in use.
