The Karrimor Mount Waterproof Walking Boots are engineered for demanding outdoor activities, providing a balance of protection, comfort, and grip. The Weathertite membrane is crucial for keeping your feet dry during unexpected downpours or when crossing damp terrain, while still allowing vapor to escape, reducing clamminess. On uneven or slippery paths, the Dynagrip rugged outsole delivers confidence-inspiring traction, making them suitable for hiking, trekking, and extended walks in varied landscapes such as muddy trails, gravel paths, and rocky ascents.
The combination of a padded ankle collar and the Frame Flex chassis works to minimize fatigue and provide critical support, especially during long days on your feet or when carrying a pack. The breathable mesh panels in the upper complement the waterproof lining by promoting airflow, which is particularly beneficial during warmer weather or strenuous activity. These boots are a solid choice for adult male hikers seeking reliable footwear that can adapt to changing weather and trail conditions, ensuring a comfortable and secure experience outdoors.
Lacing: Ensure the boots are laced securely but not overly tight. Start from the bottom and work your way up, ensuring even tension. Use a 'surgeon's knot' or double knot at the top for extra security if needed.
Break-in Period: Wear your new boots for short periods around the house or on light walks before embarking on a long hike. This allows the materials, especially the leather, to conform to your foot shape, preventing discomfort and blisters.
Sock Choice: Pair your boots with appropriate walking socks designed to wick moisture away from your skin and provide cushioning.
These Karrimor Mount Walking Boots are designed for adult males. This specific model is a UK size 12 and features a blue color. Other sizes and colors (like brown or black, in UK sizes 7, 9.5, 10, 10.5, 11) are available within the Karrimor Mount series, ensuring you can find a fit that suits your needs.
Cleaning: After use, remove loose dirt and mud with a soft brush or damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap and warm water. Avoid harsh detergents.
Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them directly on heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can damage the leather and adhesives. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
Waterproofing: Regularly re-apply a suitable waterproofing treatment for leather and textile footwear to maintain the Weathertite membrane's effectiveness. Follow the product manufacturer's instructions for application.
Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight.
