Karrimor Mount Walking Boots - Blue - Size 7

While the Karrimor Mount boots offer a secure fit, individual foot shape varies. It's recommended to try them on with your preferred hiking socks to ensure a comfortable fit. Some users find a slight break-in period helps them conform.

The frequency depends on usage and conditions. For regular hikers, re-applying a DWR treatment every few months, or when you notice water no longer beads on the surface, is a good practice. Always clean boots before re-applying.

These boots offer good traction and waterproofing, making them suitable for light snow or slush. However, for deep snow or very cold conditions, dedicated winter boots with insulation and specific cold-weather outsoles would provide better performance and warmth.

After use, especially on muddy trails, use a stiff brush or a stick to dislodge mud and debris from the lugs. A hose or damp cloth can then be used to rinse off any remaining dirt. Ensure the outsole is completely dry before storage.

Yes, it is highly recommended to wear moisture-wicking hiking socks (made of wool or synthetic blends) rather than cotton. Good socks enhance breathability, prevent blisters, and improve the overall comfort and performance of the boots.

The Frame Flex Chassis provides a balance between support and flexibility. It gives the boot structural integrity to protect your foot on uneven terrain while still allowing for natural foot movement, which reduces fatigue on longer walks.

First, check if water is entering over the top (e.g., from deep puddles or rain running down legs); consider using gaiters. Ensure socks are appropriate hiking socks, not cotton, which can hold moisture. If external water penetration is suspected, re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment to the boot's exterior.

This is often due to a lack of break-in. Wear the boots for short durations, gradually increasing the time and distance. Try different lacing techniques to relieve pressure points, and ensure you're wearing appropriate hiking socks.

Inspect the Dynagrip outsole for excessive wear or embedded debris. Clean the treads thoroughly. On extremely wet or icy surfaces, no boot can guarantee perfect traction, so exercise caution. If wear is significant, consider resoling or replacing.

Ensure boots are thoroughly dried after each use. Remove insoles and allow them to air out separately. Use anti-odour sprays or foot powder. Regularly clean the inside with a mild solution (e.g., diluted baking soda) and rinse thoroughly before drying.

Laces are consumables and will need replacing over time. Use good quality replacement laces. For eyelets, ensure you're not pulling too aggressively or using sharp tools. If an eyelet is damaged, seek professional repair to avoid further damage to the boot.
