FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for all seasons?
The Weathertite technology makes them suitable for wet conditions in spring, summer, and autumn. While waterproof, they are not heavily insulated, so they might not provide sufficient warmth for very cold winter conditions without appropriate thermal socks.
How do I know if they are the right size?
When trying them on, ensure there's about a thumb's width space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. Your heel should feel secure with minimal slipping. Try them on with the type of socks you plan to wear for walking.
Can I use these shoes for running or trail running?
These shoes are designed for walking and light hiking, prioritizing stability and comfort for those activities. While they offer good traction, they are not specifically engineered for the demands and impact of running or trail running.
How do I maintain the waterproof feature?
The Weathertite membrane is durable, but regular use and cleaning can affect the outer water repellency. Periodically clean the shoes and apply a suitable waterproofing spray designed for suede and mesh materials to refresh the protection.
Are replacement insoles available if the original ones wear out?
While specific Karrimor replacement insoles might be available, most standard athletic or comfort insoles of the correct size can be used as replacements to maintain or enhance cushioning.
What kind of socks should I wear with these shoes?
We recommend wearing moisture-wicking synthetic or merino wool hiking socks. These materials help manage sweat and prevent blisters, complementing the shoes' breathable design. Avoid cotton socks, as they retain moisture.
Troubleshooting
My feet still feel wet inside the shoes.
Ensure your socks are not cotton, which retains moisture; opt for synthetic or wool hiking socks. Also, check for any tears or damage to the upper material. Consider reapplying a waterproof spray if the shoes have seen extensive use.
The shoes feel uncomfortable or cause rubbing/blisters.
Verify you have the correct size and width. Ensure laces are tied securely but not too tightly. Wear appropriate, well-fitting hiking socks. Allow for a break-in period; new shoes often need time to mold to your feet.
The sole seems to lose grip on certain surfaces.
Check the outsole for excessive wear; deep ridges can become smoother over time. Ensure the soles are clean of mud or debris, which can reduce traction. For very slippery or icy conditions, these shoes may not offer sufficient specialized grip.
Suede material looks dirty or stained.
Use a specialized suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, apply a suede cleaner according to its instructions and blot gently with a clean cloth. Never machine wash suede shoes.
Pros and Cons
Pros
Effective Waterproofing: Keeps feet dry in damp conditions thanks to Weathertite technology.
Good Traction: The deep ridge outsole provides reliable grip on various terrains.
Comfortable Cushioning: Phylon midsole and foam insole contribute to a comfortable walking experience.
Breathable Design: Helps regulate foot temperature and reduces sweat build-up.
Secure Fit: Full lace-up front ensures the shoes stay firmly on your feet.
Cons
Specific Sizing: Primarily designed for women, so men may find the fit less suitable.
Suede Care: The suede upper requires specific cleaning and maintenance to preserve its condition.
Not for Extreme Conditions: While waterproof, they may not offer sufficient insulation for very cold environments or heavy-duty mountaineering.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Lacing: Loosen the laces completely. Slide your foot into the shoe, ensuring your heel is comfortably seated at the back. Pull the tongue forward if it bunches.
Adjusting Fit: Start lacing from the bottom eyelets, pulling each section snugly but not too tightly. Ensure even tension across the top of your foot. Tie a secure knot.
Break-In Period: For optimal comfort, wear the shoes for shorter periods initially to allow them to conform to your feet before embarking on long walks.
Compatibility
Intended User: These shoes are specifically designed for adult women.
Activity: Ideal for walking, light hiking, and general outdoor use on varied terrains.
Clothing: Best paired with moisture-wicking socks to maximize the shoe's breathable properties and prevent blisters.
Care
Cleaning Suede/Mesh Upper: Gently brush off dry dirt with a soft brush. For stubborn marks, use a specialized suede cleaner and a damp cloth, following the product's instructions. Avoid harsh detergents or scrubbing.
Drying: If the shoes become wet, remove the insoles and stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources (like radiators or direct sunlight), which can damage the materials.
Waterproofing Maintenance: Periodically reapply a waterproof treatment spray suitable for suede and mesh materials to maintain the Weathertite properties, especially after extensive use or cleaning.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
