The Karrimor Mount Mid Waterproof Walking Boots are crafted for men who need reliable protection and comfort on varied outdoor terrains. With a focus on keeping your feet dry and secure, these boots excel in providing traction and breathability during your adventures. While designed for broad utility, ensuring the correct fit and proper break-in period is key for optimal long-term comfort.
Weathertite Waterproof / Breathable: This advanced membrane ensures your feet stay dry in wet conditions while allowing internal moisture to escape, maintaining comfort during prolonged wear.
Dynagrip Rugged Outsole: Engineered for superior traction, the deep lugs and durable rubber compound provide a firm grip across diverse surfaces, from muddy paths to rocky trails.
Breathable Mesh Panels: Strategically placed mesh sections on the upper enhance airflow, helping to regulate foot temperature and reduce sweat build-up, especially during active use.
Padded Ankle Collar: Offers enhanced comfort and support around the ankle, reducing pressure points and contributing to a secure fit during dynamic movements.
Lace-Up Front: Provides a customizable and secure fit, allowing you to adjust the tension across your foot for personalized comfort and stability.
Frame Flex Chassis: Integrated into the sole construction, this chassis offers crucial underfoot support and stability, aiding in shock absorption and maintaining foot posture on uneven ground.
Durable Leather/Textile Upper: Combines the robust protection of leather with the flexibility and breathability of textile materials for a balanced performance.
Effective Waterproofing: The Weathertite technology reliably keeps feet dry in wet conditions.
Excellent Traction: Dynagrip outsole provides confident grip on a variety of challenging surfaces.
Comfortable Fit: Padded ankle collar and customizable lacing contribute to all-day comfort.
Good Breathability: Mesh panels prevent overheating, making them suitable for active wear.
Ankle Support: Mid-height design and padded collar offer decent support for varied terrain.
Break-in Period: Like most robust walking boots, they may require a short break-in period for optimal comfort.
Mid-Cut Height: While supportive, a mid-cut may offer less extreme ankle stability compared to full-height boots on very aggressive terrain.
Weight: Being a waterproof boot with a rugged sole, they may be heavier than lightweight trail shoes.

The Karrimor Mount Mid Waterproof Walking Boots are engineered for outdoor enthusiasts who demand reliability and comfort. Their Weathertite waterproofing makes them ideal for hiking in unpredictable weather, crossing shallow streams, or navigating dewy trails, ensuring your feet remain dry. The Dynagrip rugged outsole provides exceptional traction, making them a solid choice for traversing muddy paths, gravel tracks, and moderate inclines. Users will find them particularly effective for:
Day Hikes: Perfect for moderate day hikes on well-maintained trails or slightly more rugged paths, offering comfort and protection.
Dog Walking: Excellent for daily walks with your pet, providing grip and waterproofing across various urban and natural environments.
Light Trekking: Suitable for multi-day treks where the terrain isn't overly technical, offering a good balance of support and flexibility.
Variable Weather Conditions: The combination of waterproofing and breathability ensures comfort across changing weather, from damp mornings to warmer afternoons.
The padded ankle collar and lace-up design ensure a secure fit, reducing the risk of blisters on longer excursions. The Frame Flex Chassis aids in maintaining stability on uneven ground, reducing foot fatigue. For instance, on a rocky woodland trail after rain, the Dynagrip sole will prevent slips, while the Weathertite membrane keeps your feet dry from splashes and puddles. The breathable mesh panels prevent your feet from getting overly sweaty during uphill climbs.
Lacing: Ensure boots are laced snugly but not too tightly. Start from the bottom and work your way up, using a 'surgeon's knot' or similar technique at the ankle bend to lock in tension before tying the final knot. This helps prevent heel slip and keeps your foot secure.
Socks: Always wear appropriate walking socks (wool or synthetic blends) that wick moisture away from your feet. Avoid cotton socks, which retain moisture and can lead to blisters.
Initial Fit: Wear the boots around the house for a few hours before your first long walk. This helps to 'break them in' and identify any pressure points.
Terrain: These boots are best suited for varied terrains including well-maintained trails, gravel paths, muddy tracks, light to moderate inclines, and woodland walks.
Activities: Ideal for hiking, trekking, backpacking (with lighter loads), dog walking, and general outdoor leisure activities.
Weather: Designed for wet and damp conditions thanks to their waterproof membrane, but also offer breathability for warmer, active use.
Cleaning: After each use, remove loose dirt and mud with a soft brush or damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use warm water and a mild boot cleaner (avoid harsh detergents).
Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or campfires, which can damage the leather and adhesives. Stuff crumpled newspaper inside to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape.
Waterproofing: Periodically re-apply a suitable waterproofing treatment, especially to the leather sections, to maintain the integrity of the Weathertite membrane and prevent water absorption on the outer material.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight when not in use.
