Karrimor Mount Walking Boots - Blue - 10.5

While the Weathertite membrane offers waterproofing, these boots are not specifically insulated for extreme cold. They can be used in mild winter conditions, but for deep snow or very cold temperatures, additional thermal socks or insulated boots would be recommended.

We recommend wearing moisture-wicking hiking socks made from synthetic materials or merino wool. Avoid cotton socks, as they retain moisture and can lead to blisters and cold feet.

Regularly clean your boots and apply a suitable waterproofing treatment designed for leather and textile outdoor footwear. This helps replenish the DWR coating on the exterior fabric.

These boots are designed for walking and hiking, prioritizing ankle support and durability over lightweight flexibility needed for trail running. For running, specific trail running shoes would be more appropriate.

Karrimor boots typically run true to size, but individual foot shapes vary. It's always best to try them on with your preferred hiking socks to ensure a comfortable and secure fit, allowing a little room for toe splay.

The Frame Flex chassis is an internal support system within the sole that provides stability, absorbs shock, and helps maintain the boot's structure, offering better underfoot protection and comfort on uneven terrain.

Ensure your socks are moisture-wicking and not cotton. Check if water is entering from the top (e.g., over the ankle collar) or through damaged areas. Reapply waterproofing treatment if the external DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating appears worn.

Ensure you have the correct size and are wearing appropriate hiking socks. Re-evaluate your lacing technique to ensure an even, secure fit without overtightening. If new, allow for a proper break-in period.

Inspect the outsole for excessive wear. Ensure the lugs are clean and free of embedded mud or debris. While designed for traction, no boot offers 100% grip on all surfaces (e.g., wet ice).

Ensure you're wearing breathable, moisture-wicking socks, not thick cotton socks. The mesh panels aid breathability, but proper sock choice is also crucial for managing foot temperature.
