FAQs

Are these boots suitable for winter hiking?

The Karrimor Mount Walking Boots are waterproof and offer good traction, making them suitable for mild winter conditions and light snow. However, they are not insulated, so for very cold temperatures or deep snow, you might need specific winter boots with added insulation.

What does 'Weathertite waterproof / breathable' mean?

Weathertite refers to Karrimor's membrane technology. It means the boots are designed to prevent water from entering from the outside (waterproof) while allowing moisture vapor (perspiration) from your feet to escape (breathable), keeping your feet dry and comfortable.

How do I ensure the best fit?

Always try on boots with the type of socks you plan to wear. There should be enough room to wiggle your toes, but your heel should feel secure with minimal lift. The boots should feel snug around the midfoot, but not tight. Remember to break them in with shorter walks.

Can I use these boots for running?

No, these are walking boots designed for stability and support during hiking and walking. They are not engineered for the impact and flexibility required for running and using them for running could lead to discomfort or injury.

What is the 'Frame flex chassis'?

The Frame flex chassis is an internal support system within the sole unit. It provides stability, protects your foot from sharp objects, and helps prevent excessive twisting (torsional rigidity) on uneven terrain, reducing foot fatigue over long distances.

How often should I re-waterproof the boots?

The frequency depends on how often you use them and the conditions. As a general guide, reapply a suitable waterproofing treatment every few months of regular use, or whenever you notice water no longer beads on the surface and the material starts to 'wet out'.

Troubleshooting

My feet are getting wet inside the boots.

Check for visible damage to the upper material or seams. Ensure the boots are clean and the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment on the outer surface is not worn off; reapply a suitable waterproofing spray if needed. Also, make sure water isn't entering from the top (e.g., over the ankle in deep puddles or rain, requiring gaiters).

The boots feel uncomfortable or cause blisters.

Ensure you've properly broken in the boots with shorter walks. Check your sock choice; opt for moisture-wicking hiking socks, not cotton. Experiment with lacing techniques to find a comfortable balance between snugness and flexibility. If discomfort persists, consider if the size/fit is truly appropriate for your foot shape.

I'm slipping on trails, the traction isn't as good as expected.

Clean the Dynagrip outsole thoroughly to remove any caked-on mud or debris that might be reducing grip. Inspect the tread for excessive wear, which can reduce effectiveness. While rugged, remember no sole can provide perfect traction on all extremely slippery surfaces like wet, mossy rocks or ice; adjust your walking style accordingly.

My feet feel too hot and sweaty.

Verify you are wearing breathable, moisture-wicking socks appropriate for the temperature. Ensure the mesh panels are not blocked or excessively dirty. While breathable, during very high activity or hot weather, some moisture build-up is normal.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Waterproof Protection: Weathertite technology guards against rain and puddles.
  • Breathable Comfort: Mesh panels prevent feet from getting too hot and sweaty.
  • Reliable Traction: Dynagrip outsole offers secure footing on varied surfaces.
  • Ankle Support: Padded collar and mid-cut design provide stability and reduce fatigue.
  • Durable Construction: Leather and textile upper designed for outdoor use.

Cons

  • Break-in Period: New boots may feel stiff initially and require some wear before reaching full comfort.
  • Specific Sizing: Available in UK Size 7, which may not suit all foot shapes without careful consideration.
  • Mid-Cut Design: Offers good ankle support but might not be as supportive as a full-height boot for very challenging terrain.
  • Weather Limitations: While waterproof, extreme cold or deep snow conditions might require specialized insulated footwear.

Initial Setup

  1. Lacing: Before your first walk, ensure the boots are laced correctly. Start from the bottom eyelets, pulling snugly but not uncomfortably tight. Use the top hooks to secure the ankle, providing firm support.
  2. Break-In: Wear the boots for short periods around the house or on short, flat walks before embarking on longer hikes. This allows the materials to soften and conform to your foot shape, preventing discomfort.

Compatibility

  • Socks: Always wear appropriate hiking socks that offer cushioning and moisture-wicking properties. Avoid cotton socks, which retain moisture.
  • Terrain: Best suited for walking trails, paths, and moderate hiking terrain. While rugged, avoid extreme mountaineering or highly technical climbing.

Care & Maintenance

  1. Cleaning: After use, remove loose dirt with a soft brush or damp cloth. For stubborn mud, rinse under cool running water. Avoid harsh detergents or scrubbing vigorously, as this can damage the waterproof membrane.
  2. Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources (like radiators or fireplaces), as this can crack the leather and damage adhesives. You can stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape.
  3. Waterproofing: Over time, the outer water-repellent treatment (DWR) can wear off. Reapply a suitable leather/textile waterproofing spray or wax designed for breathable footwear to maintain performance.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure they are clean and dry before storing to prevent mildew.
