Karrimor Mount Walking Shoes - Grey - UK 6

Yes, with their `Weathertite waterproof/breathable` membrane, these shoes are designed to perform well in various conditions, including damp and mild wet weather. While suitable for cooler, dry days, for very cold or snowy conditions, you might consider footwear with additional insulation.

The Karrimor Mount Low Walking Shoes generally fit true to size. We recommend trying them on with the type of walking socks you typically wear to ensure a comfortable fit, allowing a little room at the toe for natural foot expansion during activity.

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and compromise the `Weathertite` waterproof membrane. Please refer to the 'Care' section for proper cleaning instructions.

These shoes are ideal for everyday walking, urban environments, parks, and light to moderate trails. The `deep ridge Arete III outsole` provides good traction on varying surfaces, but they are not designed for highly technical, rocky, or extreme mountain terrain.

The `Weathertite` waterproofing is built into the shoe's construction. The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating on the outer material, which makes water bead up, will naturally diminish over time and with use. This can be restored by cleaning the shoes and applying a suitable re-proofing spray or treatment designed for outdoor footwear with suede and textile components.

Thanks to the `Phylon midsole`, these shoes are designed to be lightweight while still providing ample cushioning and support, making them comfortable for extended periods of walking.

First, ensure the water isn't entering from the top (e.g., through ankle gap). If not, check the shoes for any visible damage or tears in the waterproof membrane. Consider applying a reputable waterproof treatment spray designed for suede and textile footwear, as the original DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating can wear off over time. Also, ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking socks, as cotton socks can trap sweat and make your feet feel wet.

Proper lacing is crucial for comfort; ensure the shoes are snug but not too tight. Experiment with different lacing techniques. Break in new shoes gradually with shorter walks before attempting longer excursions. Also, try different thicknesses or types of walking socks to find what works best for your foot shape and reduces friction points.

Inspect the `deep ridge Arete III outsole` for excessive wear or accumulation of mud/debris between the lugs. Clean the sole thoroughly with water and a brush to restore traction. If the lugs are significantly worn down, the shoe's grip performance will naturally diminish over time and with heavy use.
