Karrimor Mount Walking Shoes - Brown - UK 12

The Karrimor Mount Walking Shoes are ideal for light to moderate walking and day hikes on well-maintained trails. Their low-cut design provides less ankle support than traditional hiking boots, making them less suitable for very challenging terrain, technical climbs, or heavy backpacking where rigid ankle support is crucial.

For basic cleaning, gently brush off loose dirt with a soft brush. For dried mud or stains, use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap, wiping gently. For suede sections, use a specialized suede cleaner and brush to lift dirt and restore the nap. Always air dry away from direct heat.

Yes, the Weathertite membrane is designed to be both waterproof and breathable. While it prevents water ingress, it also allows moisture vapor from perspiration to escape, helping to keep your feet comfortable in a range of temperatures. However, like any waterproof footwear, they may feel warmer than non-waterproof mesh shoes in very hot conditions.

These shoes perform best on varied terrain including paved paths, gravel roads, grassy fields, and light to moderate dirt or forest trails. The Dynagrip sole provides reliable traction on most common walking surfaces.

Being low-cut walking shoes, they do not provide significant ankle support. They are designed for flexibility and comfort for forward motion on relatively stable ground. If you require substantial ankle support for uneven, rocky, or challenging terrain, you may consider a mid or high-cut boot.

Yes, the cushioned insoles are removable and can be replaced. This allows you to customize the fit or cushioning to your preference, or replace them if they become worn out.

Check for any physical damage to the shoe's upper, such as tears or large abrasions, which could compromise the waterproof membrane. Ensure water is not entering over the top collar of the shoe in deep puddles or heavy rain. Consider re-applying a water-repellent treatment to the exterior suede/textile to prevent the outer material from soaking through.

Over time, insoles can compress. Try replacing the existing cushioned insoles with new ones, perhaps an aftermarket pair designed for walking comfort. Also, ensure your socks are appropriate for walking and fit well, as ill-fitting socks can cause discomfort.

Inspect the Dynagrip sole for excessive wear, especially in high-contact areas. Ensure the treads are clear of compacted mud, small stones, or debris, which can reduce traction. Clean the soles thoroughly after each use.
