FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for all-day wear?
Yes, with their cushioned foam insole and Phylon midsole, the Karrimor Mount Walking Shoes are designed for comfort and support during extended periods of walking and all-day wear.
How do I clean the suede material?
For basic cleaning, use a soft brush to gently remove dirt and dust. For more stubborn marks, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions carefully. Avoid using excessive water or harsh detergents.
Can I use these shoes in heavy rain?
Yes, the Weathertite waterproof and breathable membrane is designed to keep your feet dry in wet conditions, including heavy rain. However, ensure water does not enter over the top of the shoe, for example, from very deep puddles.
Are they slip-resistant on icy surfaces?
While the deep ridge Arete III outsole provides good traction on various outdoor surfaces, it is not specifically designed for ice. Exercise caution on extremely slippery or icy conditions.
What kind of socks should I wear with these shoes?
For optimal comfort and moisture management, we recommend wearing moisture-wicking synthetic or wool walking socks. Avoid cotton socks, as they retain moisture and can lead to discomfort.
Do these shoes require a 'break-in' period?
The Karrimor Mount Walking Shoes are generally comfortable right out of the box due to their flexible materials and cushioning. However, a short break-in period of a few hours of wear might help them perfectly conform to your feet.
Troubleshooting
My feet are getting wet, despite the waterproofing.
Check for any visible tears or damage to the shoe's upper, which could compromise the Weathertite membrane. Ensure the top opening of the shoe is not exposed to deep puddles or heavy rain, allowing water to seep in from above. Consider re-applying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray to the suede and mesh upper if the original water repellency has worn off over time.
The shoes feel less comfortable or supportive than before.
Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks for walking, as thin or ill-fitting socks can impact comfort. Check if the insole is still in place and has not shifted or worn excessively; replacement insoles can often restore comfort. Also, verify that the laces are tied correctly and providing even pressure across your foot.
I'm experiencing reduced grip on certain surfaces.
Inspect the deep ridge sole for excessive wear, especially on high-contact areas, as worn treads will reduce traction. Clean the sole thoroughly to remove any caked-on mud, debris, or small stones that might be filling the tread pattern and affecting grip.

Care
Proper care will extend the life and performance of your walking shoes:
- Cleaning the Upper: For suede sections, use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For tougher marks, use a specialized suede cleaner following product instructions. For mesh areas, a damp cloth with mild soap can be used. Avoid soaking the entire shoe.
- Drying: If wet, stuff the shoes with newspaper and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage materials.
- Maintaining Waterproofing: Over time, the outer water-repellent treatment (DWR) may wear off. You can re-apply a DWR spray designed for outdoor footwear to restore this protection, following the product's instructions.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
