Karrimor Mount Low Walking Shoes - Grey - UK 6

These Karrimor Mount Low shoes are best suited for light to moderate trails, everyday walks, and general outdoor leisure. For serious, multi-day hiking or very challenging, uneven, and rocky terrain, a higher-cut hiking boot offering more ankle support and rigidity is generally recommended.

For basic cleaning, brush off dry dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized suede and fabric shoe cleaner according to its instructions. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as they can damage the materials and waterproof membrane.

While these shoes offer excellent waterproof protection for damp conditions, they are not specifically insulated for extreme cold. For very low temperatures or snow, we recommend footwear with dedicated winter insulation.

We recommend wearing moisture-wicking synthetic or wool socks. These materials help manage sweat and prevent blisters, complementing the shoe's breathable design. Avoid cotton socks, as they retain moisture.

The Weathertite membrane is durable, and its lifespan depends on usage and care. Regular cleaning and re-application of a suitable waterproofing spray (for the outer fabric) can help maintain the shoes' water repellency and performance over time.

Although the Karrimor Mount shoes are designed for comfort, it's always advisable to wear new walking shoes for shorter periods initially. This allows them to conform to your feet and reduces the risk of discomfort on longer walks.

Check if water is entering over the top of the shoe (e.g., from deep puddles or rain running down legs). Inspect the upper for any tears or damage to the waterproof membrane. Ensure socks are not saturated from sweat, which can feel like external water. Consider using gaiters in very wet conditions.

Ensure you are wearing appropriate, well-fitting moisture-wicking socks. Check your lacing technique to ensure the shoes are snug but not overly tight. Allow for a sufficient break-in period for new shoes. Ensure the size is correct for your feet, accounting for natural foot swelling during activity.

Inspect the deep ridge outsole for excessive wear or damage. Clean any accumulated mud, dirt, or debris from the outsole treads to restore grip. Be mindful of extremely slippery surfaces, as no shoe can guarantee absolute traction in all conditions.

Always allow shoes to air dry completely after each use, removing the insoles for faster drying. Consider using odor-absorbing inserts or sprays. Regular cleaning of the insoles and interior can also help.
