Karrimor Skiddaw Walking Boots - Brown - UK 10

Yes, the Karrimor Skiddaw Walking Boots feature a waterproof and breathable Weathertite upper designed to keep your feet dry in wet conditions.

Wipe them clean with a damp cloth and air dry at room temperature. Avoid machine washing or using direct heat sources for drying to preserve the materials and waterproof membrane.

Like most quality walking boots, a short break-in period is recommended. Wear them for shorter walks before embarking on longer hikes to ensure maximum comfort and fit.

They are designed for a variety of outdoor terrains including dirt trails, rocky paths, and general hiking routes, thanks to their robust construction and DynaGrip outsole.

Regularly clean them and, after prolonged use or cleaning, consider applying a suitable waterproofing treatment specifically for breathable outdoor footwear to maintain the Weathertite performance.

No, they feature a phylon midsole which contributes to a lightweight design, aiming to reduce fatigue during extended wear on your hikes.

Ensure the boots are clean and free of punctures. Re-apply a waterproofing spray or wax designed for breathable footwear to the Weathertite upper. Check that water isn't entering from the top (e.g., through gaps with trousers or gaiters).

Ensure you are wearing appropriate hiking socks and that the boots are laced correctly – snug but not too tight. New boots may require a break-in period; wear them for short periods before long hikes. Consider different lacing techniques for pressure points or using blister-prevention patches.

Regularly inspect the DynaGrip outsole for wear and tear; significant tread wear will reduce traction. Ensure the soles are clean of mud, debris, or compacted snow that could reduce grip. Adjust your gait and be mindful of surface conditions.
