Karrimor Mount Walking Boots - Brown - UK 8

While they offer waterproof protection, they are not specifically insulated for extreme cold. For winter use, combine with warm, thermal socks and consider the terrain conditions.

This depends on usage and conditions. For regular use in wet environments, re-apply a waterproofing treatment every few months, or when water no longer beads on the surface.

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and compromise the waterproof membrane. Clean by hand as outlined in the care instructions.

Yes, like most walking boots, a short break-in period is recommended. Wear them for shorter periods around the house or on short walks before attempting longer hikes to allow them to conform to your feet.

The Frame Flex Chassis is an internal component designed to provide structured support and stability underfoot, helping to reduce fatigue and protect your feet on uneven or challenging terrain.

We recommend wearing moisture-wicking hiking socks, ideally made from synthetic blends or merino wool. Avoid cotton socks, as they retain moisture and can lead to blisters.

Ensure the waterproofing treatment is maintained. Check for physical damage to the boot that might compromise the membrane. Ensure gaiters or waterproof trousers are worn to prevent water ingress from the top.

Ensure you have the correct size. Break in new boots gradually on shorter walks before attempting longer treks. Use appropriate, well-fitting hiking socks. Re-adjust lacing tension for optimal fit.

Clean the outsole thoroughly to remove any caked-on mud or debris that might reduce grip. Check the tread depth for wear and tear; heavily worn outsoles will offer less traction.
