The Karrimor Mount Waterproof Walking Boots are built for general outdoor activities, particularly walking and hiking on varied terrain. Their Weathertite waterproof membrane makes them ideal for unpredictable weather, from light rain showers to damp trails, keeping your feet comfortably dry. The breathable mesh panels are a significant advantage, mitigating the common issue of sweaty feet often associated with waterproof footwear, making them suitable for longer excursions.
On the trail, the rugged Dynagrip outsole provides reliable traction, whether you're navigating rocky paths, muddy tracks, or uneven forest floors. This ensures confidence with every step. The padded ankle collar and lace-up front work together to provide a snug, supportive fit, crucial for preventing blisters and ankle strain during extended use. The Frame Flex Chassis further enhances this support, offering torsional rigidity that helps stabilize your foot on cambered or undulating surfaces. These boots are a solid choice for day hikes, dog walking, and general outdoor pursuits where comfort, protection, and grip are priorities.
Lacing: When you first receive your boots, ensure they are laced correctly. Start by loosening all laces, then slide your foot in. Tighten the laces from the bottom upwards, ensuring a snug but not overly tight fit. The padded ankle collar should feel secure around your ankle without restricting movement. Experiment with lacing techniques to find what offers the best comfort and support for your foot shape.
Socks: Always wear appropriate walking or hiking socks. These are typically thicker and designed to wick moisture, which enhances the boots' breathability and prevents rubbing.
These boots are designed for adult males for general walking, hiking, and outdoor activities. They are suitable for various terrains, from maintained trails to moderately challenging off-road paths.
They are compatible with standard hiking socks and gaiters (if needed for deeper mud or water).
Cleaning: After each use, especially if muddy, clean your boots. Use a soft brush or damp cloth to remove dirt and debris from the leather, textile upper, and outsole. Avoid harsh detergents.
Drying: Allow your boots to dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or fires, as this can damage the leather and adhesives. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
Waterproofing Maintenance: While the boots feature Weathertite, over time, the external water repellency may diminish. Regularly apply a suitable waterproofing spray or wax specifically designed for leather and textile walking boots to maintain their performance.
Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area. Ensure they are clean and dry before storage to prevent mildew.
