Karrimor Mount Walking Boots - Black - Size 9

Yes, the Karrimor Mount Walking Boots feature Weathertite waterproof and breathable technology, designed to keep your feet dry in various wet conditions while allowing internal moisture to escape.

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

Remove loose dirt with a soft brush or damp cloth. For tougher grime, rinse with a gentle stream of water. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, avoiding direct heat sources. Regular cleaning helps maintain their appearance and performance.

It is highly recommended to wear dedicated hiking or walking socks made from moisture-wicking synthetic materials or wool blends. Avoid cotton socks, as they absorb moisture and can lead to blisters and discomfort.

Dynagrip refers to the specialized rubber compound and tread pattern used in the outsole of Karrimor boots. It is designed to provide enhanced traction, stability, and grip on a variety of challenging terrains, from wet rocks to loose earth.

The Frame Flex Chassis is an internal component that provides a balance of underfoot support and flexibility. It helps protect your feet from uneven surfaces and sharp objects while allowing for natural foot movement during walking, contributing to long-term comfort.

First, check if water is entering from the top (e.g., splashing over the ankle in deep puddles or rain). Ensure laces are snug and gaiters are used if needed. If not, the waterproofing may need refreshing; clean the boots and apply a DWR treatment specifically for waterproof-breathable footwear. Also, check your socks; non-wicking socks can make feet feel damp.

This often indicates insufficient break-in. Continue wearing the boots for shorter periods on less challenging terrain. Ensure your hiking socks are appropriate and consider different lacing techniques to relieve pressure points. If persistent, check if the size is correct.

The outsole might be covered in mud or debris; clean the Dynagrip outsole thoroughly after each use. If the problem persists after cleaning, inspect the tread for excessive wear. Severely worn outsoles may need replacement or indicate the boots are past their prime for challenging terrain.

Ensure boots are fully dried after each use. Use an athletic footwear deodoriser or sprinkle baking soda inside the boots overnight. Remove insoles occasionally to allow them to air out separately. Regular cleaning and proper drying are key to preventing odours.
