Karrimor Mount Walking Boots - Brown - 6

Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For tougher grime, use a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap, then wipe clean. For the suede areas, use a dedicated suede brush. Always air dry naturally away from direct heat.

Yes, they feature a `Weathertite waterproof / breathable` membrane designed to keep your feet dry in wet conditions while allowing perspiration to escape. Regular maintenance of the suede upper with appropriate waterproofing treatments will help maintain this performance.

For optimal comfort and to prevent blisters, we recommend wearing moisture-wicking hiking socks made from synthetic materials or merino wool. Avoid cotton socks as they absorb and retain moisture.

Like most new walking boots, a short break-in period is often beneficial. Wear them for shorter walks around your home or on easy trails before embarking on longer hikes to allow them to conform to your foot shape.

These boots are ideal for a wide variety of walking terrains, including established trails, muddy paths, gravel tracks, and moderate hills. Their rugged `Dynagrip sole` provides excellent traction on diverse surfaces.

While the `Weathertite` membrane offers protection from moisture, these boots are not specifically insulated for extreme cold. They can be used in colder weather and light snow, but for prolonged exposure to very low temperatures, additional thermal socks or insulated boots would be more appropriate.

First, check if water is entering from the top (e.g., over the cuff). If not, ensure your socks are suitable moisture-wicking hiking socks, as cotton socks retain sweat. Also, consider re-applying a waterproof treatment to the exterior of the suede upper if the original DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating has worn off over time. Inspect for any visible damage to the boot material.

Ensure you are wearing appropriate hiking socks. Re-evaluate your lacing technique to ensure a secure, snug fit that prevents heel lift without being too tight. If the boots are new, they might require a short break-in period; wear them for shorter walks initially to allow them to mold to your feet. If discomfort persists, consider using insoles for additional support or cushioning.

Thoroughly clean the `Dynagrip sole unit` to remove any embedded mud, small stones, or debris, as this can significantly reduce traction. Check the sole for excessive wear, especially if the boots have seen extensive use. Ensure you are walking appropriately for the terrain, as no boot can guarantee 100% slip prevention on all surfaces.
