Extended Product Information

The Karrimor Mount Walking Boots are engineered for walkers seeking reliable performance across a spectrum of outdoor environments. Their Weathertite technology ensures your feet remain dry during wet conditions like rain or damp trails, while also allowing internal moisture to escape, preventing overheating and discomfort. The Dynagrip sole unit is a key feature for stability, providing confident traction whether you're navigating slippery rocks, muddy paths, or uneven forest floors. For instance, on a moderate hike with mixed terrain, these boots will offer the necessary grip to prevent slips and falls.The combination of a cushioned insole and padded ankle is crucial for extended wear. This comfort system helps absorb impact and reduce pressure points, meaning you can enjoy longer walks without experiencing excessive fatigue or discomfort. The over lace system allows you to customize the fit around your foot and ankle, which is vital for preventing blisters and ensuring good support, especially when ascending or descending hills. The Frameflex 3D chassis adds structural integrity, supporting your foot through challenging terrain and offering protection against sharp objects underfoot. These boots are suitable for day hikes, walking tours, and general outdoor use where reliable protection and comfort are paramount.

Setup: Getting Started with Your Boots1. Lacing: Unlace the boots fully. Put them on with your preferred walking socks. Ensure your heel is seated comfortably at the back of the boot. Begin lacing from the bottom, pulling firmly but not too tightly through each eyelet. Use the over lace system to secure the ankle area, ensuring a snug fit that supports without restricting circulation. You should be able to wiggle your toes slightly.2. Break-In Period: While comfortable, new boots often benefit from a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter walks initially before embarking on longer treks to allow them to conform to your foot shape.## Compatibility: Gear and TerrainSocks: Always wear appropriate walking socks made of moisture-wicking materials (wool or synthetic blends) to maximize comfort and breathability and prevent blisters. Avoid cotton socks. Terrain: These boots are designed for a wide range of terrains, including trails, gravel paths, and light to moderate off-road conditions. For extreme mountaineering or very technical scrambling, specialized boots might be required.## Care: Maintaining Your Karrimor Mount Boots1. Cleaning: After each use, brush off loose dirt and debris with a soft brush. For dried mud, use a damp cloth. For the suede areas, use a specialized suede brush or cleaner. Avoid harsh detergents.2. Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or fires, which can damage materials and adhesives. You can stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape.3. Waterproofing: Over time, the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish on the outer material may wear off, even with Weathertite membrane. Reapply a suitable waterproofing treatment for suede/textile outdoor footwear periodically to maintain water repellency.4. Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area. Ensure they are clean and dry before storing to prevent mildew and material degradation. Avoid storing in direct sunlight.
