Karrimor Mount Waterproof Walking Shoes - Beige - UK 7

The Karrimor Mount Low Walking Shoes are best suited for light to moderate trails, general walking, and casual outdoor activities. For serious, rugged hiking or uneven terrain where significant ankle support is critical, a mid-cut or high-cut hiking boot would generally be a more appropriate choice.

Brush off loose dirt with a soft brush. For stains, use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap, then wipe clean. Allow to air dry completely away from direct heat. Avoid machine washing or harsh chemical cleaners. Consider using a dedicated suede cleaner and protector for best results.

While the Weathertite membrane offers waterproofing for wet conditions, these shoes are not insulated for extreme cold. The Dynagrip sole provides traction on various surfaces, but performance on ice or deep snow might be limited. For dedicated winter use, insulated and specific winter traction footwear is recommended.

We recommend wearing breathable, moisture-wicking walking or hiking socks. These types of socks help manage moisture, reduce friction, and enhance overall comfort, especially during longer walks. Avoid cotton socks, as they retain moisture.

Yes, like most new footwear, it's advisable to wear them for shorter periods initially to allow the shoes to mold to your feet. This helps prevent discomfort and ensures maximum comfort during longer use. Gradually increase wear time before embarking on extended walks.

Karrimor footwear generally adheres to standard UK sizing. However, foot shapes vary, so if possible, try them on to ensure the best fit, especially considering width and toe room. Allow space for walking socks.

The FrameFlex Chassis is an internal component designed to provide enhanced underfoot support and stability. It helps to control flex and torsion, contributing to a more comfortable and supportive walking experience over varied terrains, reducing foot fatigue.

First, ensure the water isn't entering from the top (e.g., over the collar in deep puddles or heavy rain). Check for any visible damage to the shoe's upper. For prolonged use in wet conditions, the DWR coating on the outer material might need replenishment with a suitable waterproof spray for suede/textile footwear.

Ensure you have the correct size and width. Walking socks designed for hiking can significantly improve comfort and reduce friction. Make sure laces are tied snugly but not too tight. Allow a proper 'break-in' period for new shoes. If discomfort persists, consider checking your lacing technique or using specialized insoles.

Regularly clean the Dynagrip sole to remove accumulated mud, dirt, or debris that can reduce traction. Ensure the treads are not excessively worn. On certain extremely wet or slippery surfaces (e.g., polished wet rock), even highly-rated soles may have limitations.

Suede requires specific care. Use a suede brush to restore the nap and remove superficial dirt. For deeper stains, a specialized suede cleaner is recommended. Always allow the shoes to dry naturally and apply a suede protector spray to help prevent future staining and maintain its appearance.
