The Karrimor Mount Mid Walking Boots are engineered to perform reliably on various walking and hiking adventures. The Weathertite waterproof/breathable membrane means you can confidently tackle dewy paths, light rain, and shallow puddles without concerns about wet feet. This feature, combined with the breathable mesh panels, ensures that even on longer treks or in warmer conditions, your feet remain comfortable and less prone to sweating.
On the trail, the rugged Dynagrip outsole comes into its own, providing impressive traction. Whether navigating muddy inclines, loose gravel paths, or damp rock, the grip helps maintain stability and prevents slips, making your steps more secure. The Frame flex chassis further enhances this stability by offering crucial support underfoot, reducing fatigue and protecting your feet from sharp objects on uneven ground.
The padded ankle collar and lace-up front are key to the boot's comfort and secure fit. They work together to cradle your ankle, preventing rubbing and providing essential support, particularly when traversing side slopes or carrying a light pack. These boots are ideal for day hikes, multi-day walks on moderate trails, and general outdoor use where reliable protection and comfort are paramount.
Lacing: Ensure the boots are laced securely but not overly tight. Start from the bottom eyelets and pull consistently to achieve an even tension across your foot. Use a 'surgeon's knot' or double knot at the top to prevent loosening.
Socks: Always wear appropriate hiking socks. These should be moisture-wicking and provide cushioning to prevent blisters and enhance comfort.
Break-in: While comfortable out of the box, it's recommended to wear your boots for shorter walks around your home or local park before embarking on a long hike. This allows the boots to conform to your feet and reduces the chance of discomfort.
Terrain: Suitable for a wide range of terrains including well-maintained trails, forest paths, grassy hills, and rocky tracks.
Activities: Ideal for day hiking, dog walking, casual outdoor strolls, and multi-day trekking on moderate trails.
Weather: Designed for use in mixed weather conditions, thanks to its waterproof and breathable properties.
Cleaning: After each use, especially if muddy, brush off loose dirt with a soft brush. For stubborn dirt, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents.
Drying: Allow boots to dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources (e.g., radiators, fireplaces). Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
Waterproofing: Regularly check the waterproofing. If water no longer beads off the surface, consider applying a suitable waterproofing treatment for leather and textile footwear. Follow the product manufacturer's instructions.
Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area. Ensure they are completely dry before storing to prevent mold or mildew growth.
Inspection: Periodically inspect laces, eyelets, and soles for wear and tear. Replace laces if frayed.
