These Karrimor Mount Mid Walking Boots are built to perform reliably across a variety of walking and hiking scenarios. Their Weathertite waterproof / breathable technology means you can confidently tackle rainy trails or dewy morning paths without concerns about wet feet. The breathability also ensures comfort in warmer, more active conditions, preventing moisture buildup inside the boot.
The Dynagrip sole unit and Frameflex 3D chassis work in tandem to provide excellent stability and traction. Whether you're navigating rocky paths, muddy trails, or uneven forest floors, the rugged sole offers the necessary grip to maintain your footing. This makes them suitable for everything from leisurely park walks to moderate hillwalking.
Comfort is a key highlight, with the cushioned insole and padded ankle offering support during extended periods of wear. The over lace system allows you to customize the fit, securing your foot snugly to prevent slippage and blisters, which is crucial for long walks. For example, when traversing a steep incline, a well-secured boot can significantly reduce foot fatigue and improve control.
While designed for comfort and general outdoor use, for extremely technical mountaineering or heavy backpacking over very harsh terrain, a more rigid and higher-cut boot might be considered. However, for the vast majority of walking and hiking enthusiasts, these boots provide a superb balance of protection, comfort, and performance.
Getting started with your Karrimor Mount Mid Walking Boots is straightforward.
Lacing: Utilize the over lace system to ensure a snug yet comfortable fit. Begin lacing from the bottom, pulling firmly but not too tightly through each eyelet. Once at the ankle, use the hooks to provide additional support. Experiment with lacing tension to find what feels best for your foot shape and activity.
Socks: Always wear appropriate hiking socks. Moisture-wicking socks are recommended to enhance the boot's breathability and prevent blisters.
Break-in Period: While comfortable out of the box, allow for a short break-in period. Wear the boots for shorter walks initially to allow them to conform to your feet before embarking on longer hikes.
These boots are primarily designed for:
Walking and Hiking: Suitable for a wide range of trails, from maintained paths to moderately rugged terrain.
All Weather Conditions: The Weathertite membrane makes them ideal for both wet and dry environments.
Varied Terrains: The Dynagrip sole is engineered for grip on mud, loose gravel, and uneven surfaces.
Proper care will extend the lifespan and maintain the performance of your Karrimor walking boots:
Cleaning: After each use, especially if muddy, clean the boots. Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For the suede upper, use a specialized suede brush and cleaner. Avoid harsh detergents.
Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or hairdry, as this can damage the leather and adhesives and compromise the waterproof membrane.
Waterproofing Maintenance: Over time, the outer water-repellent treatment (DWR) may wear off. Periodically apply a suitable reproofing treatment designed for suede and waterproof membranes to maintain the boot's water resistance and breathability. Follow the product's instructions carefully.
Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place, away from direct sunlight. If possible, stuff them with newspaper to help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
