The Karrimor Mount Mid Waterproof Walking Boots are engineered for day hikes, trail walking, and general outdoor pursuits in various weather conditions. The Weathertite waterproof technology ensures your feet stay dry when crossing shallow streams or navigating rainy paths, while the breathable mesh panels prevent excessive sweat buildup during warmer conditions or strenuous activity. The Dynagrip outsole provides reliable footing on muddy trails, loose gravel, and rocky surfaces, making them suitable for mixed terrain. The padded ankle collar and lace-up system allow for a snug, supportive fit, crucial for preventing blisters and maintaining stability over longer distances. The Frame Flex Chassis adds a layer of underfoot stability, which is particularly beneficial when carrying a light pack or traversing uneven ground, reducing foot fatigue. These boots excel in providing a balanced blend of protection, comfort, and grip for moderate outdoor adventures.
Lacing: Ensure boots are laced securely but not overly tight. Use all eyelets for maximum ankle support. Experiment with different lacing techniques to find what is most comfortable for your foot shape.
Break-in: New boots may feel stiff. Wear them for short walks around the house or on light trails before embarking on longer hikes to allow them to mold to your feet and prevent discomfort.
Socks: Always wear appropriate hiking socks, preferably made from wool or synthetic blends, to wick moisture away and reduce friction.
These boots are ideal for moderate hiking, trail walking, and everyday outdoor activities. They perform best on maintained trails, forest paths, and uneven natural terrain. While waterproof, they are not designed for prolonged submersion in deep water or extreme mountaineering conditions.
Cleaning: After each use, especially if muddy, clean off dirt and debris with a soft brush and lukewarm water. For stubborn mud, use a mild boot cleaner suitable for leather and textile.
Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources (like radiators or campfires) as this can damage the materials and waterproof membrane. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
Waterproofing: Over time, the durable water repellent (DWR) coating on the outer material may wear off. Regularly re-treat the boots with a suitable waterproof spray or wax designed for leather and textile footwear to maintain their water-repellent properties. Follow product instructions carefully.
Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight.
