While the Weathertite upper provides waterproofing, these boots do not have specific insulation for extreme cold. They are suitable for general outdoor use in various conditions, but for very cold winter conditions, additional insulated socks are recommended.
It's generally recommended to try on walking boots at the end of the day when your feet are slightly swollen. Wear the type of socks you'd normally hike in. Ensure there's a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the boot, and that your heel feels secure with minimal lift.
No, these are designed as walking and hiking boots, offering support and durability for trekking. For running, lighter and more flexible trail running shoes are more appropriate.
Clean your boots after every use, especially if they are muddy or wet. Regular cleaning prevents dirt from degrading the materials and maintains breathability and waterproofing.
We recommend wearing moisture-wicking hiking socks made from materials like merino wool or synthetic blends. Avoid cotton socks, as they retain moisture and can lead to blisters.
Yes, over time, the factory waterproofing (DWR) can wear off. You can use a reproofing spray specifically designed for waterproof-breathable footwear to maintain or enhance their water repellency.
First, ensure water isn't entering from the top (e.g., over the cuff). If not, inspect the boot for any cuts or damage to the Weathertite upper. Over time, waterproofing may need to be refreshed with a suitable DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray specifically designed for footwear.
Check your sock choice; proper hiking socks can significantly improve comfort. Ensure laces are tied correctly – not too loose or too tight – and adjust them periodically. If issues persist, consider trying different lacing techniques or allowing more break-in time.
Clean the DynaGrip outsole thoroughly to remove any embedded mud or debris that might be reducing traction. Regularly check the tread for excessive wear, as worn-down soles will offer less grip and may indicate it's time for replacement.
Before your first hike, ensure laces are properly threaded through the hook eyelets and tied securely. Break in your boots with shorter walks to allow them to conform to your feet before embarking on longer journeys.
These boots are designed for outdoor walking and hiking. Their versatile features make them suitable for a range of terrains, from established trails to more rugged paths, and for various weather conditions thanks to the waterproof upper. They are sized in UK adult foot sizes.
To ensure the longevity and performance of your Karrimor Skiddaw Walking Boots, *always wipe them clean with a damp cloth after use.* Allow them to *air dry naturally at room temperature*, away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can damage the materials. *Avoid machine washing* as this can degrade the waterproof membrane and other components.
