The Karrimor Mount Walking Boots excel in providing a balanced combination of protection, comfort, and grip for outdoor enthusiasts. Their Weathertite waterproof/breathable membrane means you can confidently tackle dewy grass, muddy trails, or light rain showers without worrying about wet feet, while still allowing your feet to breathe, preventing clamminess on warmer days. The rugged Dynagrip outsole is a standout feature, offering reliable traction on uneven, slippery, or loose surfaces, making them suitable for hillside walks, forest paths, and general trail walking.
The padded ankle collar and lace-up front work together to provide a secure and comfortable fit, crucial for preventing blisters and providing stability over long distances. Whether you're embarking on a day hike or a multi-day trek with lighter loads, the Frame Flex Chassis offers essential underfoot support, reducing strain and fatigue, especially when navigating rocky or root-strewn terrain. The integration of breathable mesh panels ensures continuous ventilation, making these boots a comfortable choice across various temperatures. For instance, imagine traversing a damp, leaf-covered path after a morning rain – these boots are designed to keep your feet dry and stable. Or picture a long walk on a sunny day – the breathability helps manage internal moisture.
Lacing: Ensure boots are laced snugly but not too tightly from the toes upwards. Use the eyelets to customize tension, securing with a double knot. This helps prevent heel slip and provides ankle support.
Break-In: Before long hikes, wear your boots on shorter walks to allow the materials to conform to your feet. This helps prevent discomfort and blisters on extended excursions.
Socks: Always wear appropriate walking socks (wool or synthetic blends) to wick away moisture and enhance comfort, especially with new boots.
These boots are suitable for adult males for a variety of outdoor activities including:
Day hiking on established trails
Dog walking on varied terrain
Forest walks and light trekking
General outdoor use in wet or dry conditions
They are designed for UK size 12 feet and are best paired with outdoor apparel.
Cleaning: After use, remove loose dirt with a soft brush or damp cloth. For stubborn mud, rinse under lukewarm running water. Avoid harsh detergents or hot water, which can damage the waterproofing.
Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources (e.g., radiators, fireplaces) which can cause leather to crack or materials to delaminate. Stuffing with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
Waterproofing Maintenance: Over time, the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish on the textile parts may wear off. Reapply a suitable footwear-specific waterproofing treatment for leather and fabric regularly to maintain performance. Follow the product manufacturer's instructions.
Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place. Avoid storing in direct sunlight or damp environments.
