FAQs
Are these boots truly waterproof?
Yes, the Karrimor Mount Walking Boots feature 'Weathertite' technology, which provides a waterproof and breathable barrier to keep your feet dry in wet conditions.
How do I clean the suede upper?
For the suede split leather upper, use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, gently wipe with a damp cloth or use a suede-specific cleaner. Avoid rubbing too vigorously and always let them air dry naturally.
What kind of socks should I wear with these boots?
For optimal comfort and moisture management, we recommend wearing moisture-wicking hiking socks made from synthetic materials or merino wool. Avoid cotton socks, as they can retain moisture and lead to discomfort.
What does the 'Frameflex 3D chassis' do?
The Frameflex 3D chassis is an internal support system designed to provide enhanced stability and underfoot protection on uneven and rugged terrains, contributing to overall comfort during long walks.
What is the 'Dynagrip sole unit'?
The Dynagrip sole unit is Karrimor's proprietary outsole technology engineered to deliver excellent traction and grip across a wide variety of surfaces, from muddy trails to rocky paths.
Can these boots be used in winter conditions?
While the `Weathertite` membrane offers waterproofing suitable for damp and snowy conditions, these boots are not insulated for extreme cold. The `Dynagrip` sole provides good traction, but for icy conditions, additional traction aids might be necessary.
Troubleshooting
My feet feel wet or damp inside the boots.
First, check if water is entering from the top (e.g., over the cuff). Ensure your waterproofing treatment is up-to-date. Also, confirm you are wearing appropriate moisture-wicking socks, as cotton socks can retain sweat and make your feet feel damp even if the boots are waterproof.
The boots feel uncomfortable or cause blisters.
Ensure you have the correct size and width. Properly adjust the `over lace system` for a secure but not overly tight fit. Always wear good quality hiking socks. If new, allow for a break-in period by wearing them on shorter walks before attempting longer treks. Inspect for any debris inside.
I'm losing grip on certain surfaces.
Check the `Dynagrip sole unit` for excessive wear or accumulation of mud/debris. Clean the sole thoroughly to restore traction. Re-evaluate the terrain; while the Dynagrip sole offers excellent traction, extreme conditions (e.g., highly polished wet rock, deep ice) may require specialized footwear or equipment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Lacing: Unlace the boots fully.
Insert Foot: Slide your foot into the boot, ensuring your heel is comfortably seated at the back.
Tighten Laces: Starting from the bottom eyelets, gradually pull the laces snug, working your way up. Use the `over lace system` to lock in the fit around the ankle, ensuring it's firm but not uncomfortably tight. You should be able to wiggle your toes slightly, but your heel should not lift excessively when walking.
Compatibility
Socks: For best performance, wear moisture-wicking hiking socks made from synthetic blends or merino wool. Avoid cotton socks, which retain moisture.
Attire: Pair with appropriate outdoor clothing for hiking, such as waterproof trousers or gaiters to prevent water from entering over the top of the boot.
Care
Cleaning: After each use, remove loose dirt and debris with a soft brush. For the suede upper, use a specialized suede brush or a damp cloth to gently clean. Avoid harsh detergents.
Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or campfires, as this can damage the materials and adhesives. You can stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape.
Waterproofing: Regularly reapply a suitable waterproofing treatment for suede and textile hiking boots to maintain the Weathertite membrane's effectiveness, especially after cleaning or heavy use. Follow the product instructions for the waterproofing spray or wax.
Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight.
