The Karrimor Mount Walking Boots are engineered for optimal performance across a variety of outdoor activities, particularly walking and hiking. Their Weathertite waterproof and breathable membrane ensures your feet stay dry and comfortable whether you encounter rain, puddles, or damp trails. The Dynagrip sole unit offers reliable traction, making them suitable for navigating slippery rocks, muddy paths, and uneven ground. The Frameflex 3D chassis provides crucial underfoot support, reducing strain on your feet during extended wear, while the cushioned insole and padded ankle deliver luxurious comfort for long distances. The over lace system allows for a personalized, secure fit, which is vital for preventing blisters and maintaining stability on challenging descents or ascents. These boots are a dependable choice for day hikes, multi-day treks, and general outdoor exploration in moderate to challenging conditions.
Lacing: Unlace the boots fully.
Insert Foot: Slide your foot into the boot, ensuring your heel is comfortably seated at the back.
Tighten Laces: Starting from the bottom eyelets, gradually pull the laces snug, working your way up. Use the over lace system to lock in the fit around the ankle, ensuring it's firm but not uncomfortably tight. You should be able to wiggle your toes slightly, but your heel should not lift excessively when walking.
Socks: For best performance, wear moisture-wicking hiking socks made from synthetic blends or merino wool. Avoid cotton socks, which retain moisture.
Attire: Pair with appropriate outdoor clothing for hiking, such as waterproof trousers or gaiters to prevent water from entering over the top of the boot.
Cleaning: After each use, remove loose dirt and debris with a soft brush. For the suede upper, use a specialized suede brush or a damp cloth to gently clean. Avoid harsh detergents.
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 adhesives. You can stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape.
Waterproofing: Regularly reapply a suitable waterproofing treatment for suede and textile hiking boots to maintain the Weathertite membrane's effectiveness, especially after cleaning or heavy use. Follow the product instructions for the waterproofing spray or wax.
Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight.
