Karrimor Mount Walking Boots - Brown - Size 11

Karrimor Mount boots are generally true to size. It's recommended to try them on at the end of the day when your feet are slightly swollen, wearing the type of socks you'd typically use for hiking. Ensure there's enough room for your toes to wiggle comfortably without your heel slipping excessively.

The Weathertite waterproofing and rugged outsole make them suitable for wet and cold conditions. However, for extreme cold or snow, you might need additional insulation in your socks or specialized winter boots, as these are not specifically insulated for sub-zero temperatures.

These boots are designed for comfort and support on walks and day hikes. For long-distance backpacking with heavy loads, you might prefer a boot with higher ankle support and a stiffer sole for enhanced stability and load bearing, though these can handle lighter overnight trips.

The frequency depends on usage and environmental conditions. If you notice water no longer beads on the surface and the upper starts to absorb moisture, it's time to reapply a suitable waterproofing treatment. This could range from every few months to once a year for regular users.

The upper is constructed from a combination of leather and textile (specifically breathable mesh panels). The sole is synthetic, and the inner lining is textile for comfort.

Yes, like most sturdy walking boots, a short break-in period is generally recommended. Wear them around the house or on short walks before tackling longer hikes to allow the materials to soften and adapt to your foot shape, maximizing comfort on the trail.

First, ensure your laces are tied securely, as water can enter over the top if loose. Check the boots for any visible damage like tears or punctures. If wearing in very heavy rain or deep puddles, consider using waterproof gaiters. Also, confirm that the wetness isn't from sweat; use moisture-wicking socks to manage internal perspiration.

Ensure you've had an adequate break-in period; new boots often need time to conform to your feet. Check your sock choice – opt for seamless, moisture-wicking hiking socks. Adjust your lacing technique; try loosening or tightening in different sections to find the optimal pressure points for your foot.

Regularly clean the Dynagrip outsole to remove accumulated mud, dirt, or debris, which can significantly reduce traction. Inspect the sole for signs of excessive wear; a worn outsole will naturally have reduced grip and may indicate it's time for replacement.
