The Karrimor Mount Mid Ladies Waterproof Walking Boots are built to perform reliably in a variety of outdoor scenarios. The combination of the "Weathertite" waterproof and breathable membrane means your feet will stay dry during wet conditions like crossing damp fields or light rain showers, while also preventing clamminess from perspiration. The rugged Dynagrip sole unit offers exceptional traction, making these boots ideal for navigating muddy trails, rocky paths, and uneven forest floors. For instance, on a steep, gravelly incline, the sole's grip will provide confidence and reduce the risk of slipping. The Frameflex 3D chassis works to stabilize your foot on unpredictable ground, which is particularly beneficial when traversing roots or stones. Comfort is a key aspect, with the cushioned insole and padded ankle working together to absorb impact and prevent chafing, allowing you to enjoy longer walks without discomfort. The over lace system ensures that whether you're climbing uphill or descending, your foot remains securely in place, preventing unwanted movement and potential blisters. These boots are best suited for general walking, day hikes, and light to moderate trekking across varied natural landscapes.
Lacing for a Secure Fit: Begin by loosening the over lace system to comfortably slide your foot into the boot. Ensure your heel is seated firmly at the back of the boot.
Even Tightening: Start tightening the laces from the toes upwards. Pull each section of the laces evenly, ensuring a snug fit across your foot without creating pressure points. The over lace system allows for precise adjustment.
Ankle Support: Make sure the laces around the ankle are firm but not overly tight, providing support without restricting movement or causing discomfort.
Initial Wear: Wear the boots around the house for a short period to allow them to conform to your feet before embarking on a long walk. This helps with the 'break-in' process.
These Karrimor Mount Mid boots are specifically designed for ladies and are compatible with a wide range of terrains, including footpaths, trails, and moderate hills. They are an excellent choice for general walking, day hikes, and weekend excursions where reliable waterproof protection and grip are essential. Pair them with appropriate walking socks for enhanced comfort and moisture management.
Cleaning: After each use, especially in muddy conditions, brush off loose dirt with a soft brush. For more stubborn dirt on the suede/textile upper, use a damp cloth and a specialized suede cleaner if necessary. Avoid harsh detergents.
Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not force dry them with direct heat (e.g., radiators, hairdryers) as this can damage the materials, especially the suede and waterproof membrane.
Waterproofing Maintenance: While the boots feature "Weathertite" technology, over time and with heavy use, the outer water repellency might diminish. Consider applying a suitable suede-friendly waterproofing treatment periodically to maintain the upper's protective qualities.
Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place, away from direct sunlight, to prevent material degradation.
