The Karrimor Mount Mid Waterproof Walking Boots are designed for adult male outdoor enthusiasts seeking reliable foot protection and comfort on varied trails.

They are built to keep your feet dry and secure with key features like breathable mesh, a Weathertite membrane, and a rugged Dynagrip outsole.

The Karrimor Mount Mid Waterproof Walking Boots are ideal for a range of outdoor activities, including day hikes, dog walking, and general trail exploration. Their Weathertite technology ensures your feet remain dry during unexpected rain showers or when traversing damp trails, while the breathable mesh helps regulate temperature, preventing sweaty feet on warmer days. The Dynagrip rugged outsole excels on varied terrain, providing confidence on slippery roots, loose gravel, and muddy paths. Users will appreciate the comfort from the padded ankle collar and the secure fit offered by the lace-up system, which are crucial for maintaining stability and preventing blisters on longer treks. These boots perform best in conditions ranging from light to moderate trails, offering a balanced combination of protection, comfort, and agility. For example, a user planning a full-day hike through woodlands with occasional stream crossings will find these boots reliable and comfortable.
Lacing: Ensure boots are laced snugly but not too tightly. Start from the bottom eyelets, pulling laces firm as you work your way up. Utilize the top hooks for extra ankle stability, tying a secure knot.
Initial Wear: Wear the boots around the house for a few hours before your first long walk to break them in and ensure a comfortable fit.
Terrain: Suitable for varied terrains including well-maintained trails, uneven paths, light mud, and rocky ground.
Weather: Designed for wet and damp conditions due to Weathertite waterproofing. Not insulated for extreme cold.
Socks: Best paired with moisture-wicking hiking socks to enhance breathability and prevent blisters.
Cleaning: After each use, brush off loose dirt with a soft brush. For stubborn mud, wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents.
Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources (e.g., radiators, fireplaces) which can damage the leather and membrane.
Waterproofing: Regularly re-apply a suitable waterproof treatment (e.g., DWR spray for leather/textile) to the exterior to maintain water repellency, especially after cleaning. Follow product instructions for the specific treatment.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, ideally with shoe trees or crumpled newspaper inside to maintain shape.
