FAQs
Are these Karrimor Mount Walking Boots suitable for all weather conditions?
Yes, thanks to their Weathertite waterproof/breathable technology, these boots are designed to keep your feet dry and comfortable in various weather conditions, including rain and damp environments.
What type of sole do these boots have, and how does it perform?
These boots feature a Dynagrip sole unit, which is specifically engineered to provide excellent traction and reliable grip on a wide range of terrains, from muddy trails to rocky paths, enhancing your stability and confidence.
How do I maintain the suede material on these boots?
For cleaning the suede upper, gently brush off dry dirt. For tougher grime, use a specialized suede cleaner and brush. Always allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Regular re-application of a waterproofing spray designed for suede/textile is recommended to maintain their protective qualities.
Do I need to break in these walking boots?
While the boots offer immediate comfort, a short break-in period is generally recommended. Wear them for shorter periods or walks initially to allow the materials to soften and conform to the unique shape of your feet, optimizing comfort for longer excursions.
What kind of support do these boots offer?
The Karrimor Mount Walking Boots provide substantial support through their Frameflex 3D chassis for underfoot stability, a cushioned insole for comfort, and a padded ankle and over lace system for a secure and supportive fit around your foot and ankle.
Are these boots heavy for long walks?
Info needed: specific weight. However, walking boots are designed to offer a balance of durability, protection, and reasonable weight for extended wear. The materials like the suede/textile upper and synthetic sole contribute to a practical weight for hiking.
Troubleshooting
My feet feel uncomfortable or are rubbing inside the boots.
Ensure the over lace system is adjusted correctly – not too tight, not too loose. Try different types of walking socks (e.g., thicker or seamless). A short break-in period is normal for new boots; wear them for shorter walks initially. If discomfort persists, consider custom insoles.
My feet are getting wet, despite the boots being waterproof.
Check for any visible damage to the boot's upper. Ensure the boots are clean and that a waterproofing treatment (suitable for suede/textile) has been recently applied. Water can also enter over the top of the boot in very deep puddles or heavy rain if not paired with gaiters.
I'm experiencing reduced grip on certain surfaces.
Inspect the Dynagrip sole unit for excessive wear or embedded debris. Ensure the soles are clean of mud or grit, which can reduce traction. Adjust your walking technique on challenging surfaces, distributing your weight evenly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Upon first wearing, ensure you lace the boots securely using the over lace system. Start from the bottom eyelets and pull firmly but comfortably, ensuring the tongue is centered. The goal is a snug fit that holds your foot without feeling restrictive, allowing your toes to wiggle slightly. This initial setup is key to leveraging the boots' comfort features, such as the cushioned insole and padded ankle.
Compatibility
These Karrimor Mount Walking Boots are highly versatile. They are compatible with a wide range of terrains, including well-maintained trails, muddy paths, rocky ascents, and general outdoor walking areas. Their Weathertite waterproof/breathable membrane makes them suitable for all weather conditions, offering protection in rain and damp environments. They pair well with technical hiking socks for optimal moisture wicking and cushioning.
Care
To ensure the longevity and performance of your boots, proper care is essential:
- Cleaning: After each use, brush off loose dirt and debris. For more stubborn mud, use a soft brush and lukewarm water. For the suede upper, a specialized suede cleaner and brush can be used. Avoid harsh detergents.
- Drying: Allow your boots to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or fires, which can damage the materials and adhesives. You can stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape.
- Waterproofing: Periodically re-apply a suitable waterproofing treatment specifically designed for suede and textile walking boots. This helps maintain the Weathertite membrane's effectiveness and protects the outer materials.
- Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, ideally with their laces loosely tied to retain their shape.
