Extended Product Information

Performance & Real-World Use The Karrimor Mount Walking Boots are designed to excel in diverse outdoor environments. Their Weathertite waterproof/breathable membrane means you can confidently tackle sudden downpours or walk through damp grass without your feet getting wet, while also preventing clamminess. The rugged Dynagrip sole unit offers reliable traction, making them suitable for navigating slippery mud, loose gravel, or uneven rocky paths. For instance, on a steep, muddy incline, the aggressive lugs of the Dynagrip sole bite firmly into the ground, preventing slips. The combination of a cushioned insole and padded ankle ensures comfort even during extended hikes, reducing pressure points and supporting your foot's natural movement. The over lace system allows for a customized, snug fit, which is crucial for preventing friction and blisters, especially on descents. These boots are ideal for day hikes, weekend treks, and general outdoor adventuring where varying weather and terrain are expected. They provide a sturdy platform for carrying light to moderate loads.

Setup, Compatibility & Care ### First Use & Breaking In When you first receive your Karrimor Mount Walking Boots, it's essential to break them in properly to ensure maximum comfort and prevent blisters. 1. Wear them indoors: Start by wearing your boots around the house for a few hours each day to allow them to conform to your foot shape. 2. Short walks: Gradually increase wear time with short walks on easy terrain. 3. Sock choice: Always wear appropriate hiking socks that are moisture-wicking and well-padded. ### Compatibility These boots are designed for adult female hikers, suitable for a range of foot sizes (UK 7 in this specific variant). They are compatible with standard hiking socks and gaiters. ### Care & Maintenance To ensure the longevity and performance of your boots, follow these care instructions: 1. Cleaning: After each use, especially in muddy conditions, clean off dirt with a soft brush and lukewarm water. For stubborn grime, use a specialized footwear cleaner suitable for suede and synthetic materials. Avoid harsh detergents. 2. Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials and waterproof membrane. You can stuff them with newspaper to help absorb moisture and maintain shape. 3. Waterproofing Renewal: Over time, the outer water repellency (DWR coating) may diminish. Use a reproofing spray or treatment specifically designed for waterproof-breathable footwear and suede to maintain performance. Follow the product's instructions carefully. 4. Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
