Karrimor Mount Walking Boots - Brown - Size 10.5

Karrimor boots generally run true to size, but foot size can vary. We recommend consulting a sizing guide and trying them on with your typical hiking socks to ensure a comfortable fit. Your toes should not touch the front of the boot, and your heel should feel secure without excessive slippage.

Remove loose dirt with a brush. Use a damp cloth or a specialized boot cleaner designed for leather and textile uppers. Avoid harsh chemicals. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat.

While the internal Weathertite membrane provides lasting waterproof protection, the outer material's DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating can be replenished. We recommend using a spray or rub-on waterproofing treatment suitable for leather and textile hiking boots to maintain the outer material's water repellency.

These boots are ideal for general outdoor walking, day hiking on established trails, and light to moderate trekking. Their waterproof design makes them suitable for use in various weather conditions and on diverse terrains, from grassy paths to rocky trails.

Yes, like most quality hiking boots, a short break-in period is recommended. Wear them for shorter periods before embarking on long hikes to allow the materials to soften and conform to your foot shape, minimizing discomfort.

The upper is constructed from a combination of leather and textile materials, providing durability and breathability. The sole is synthetic for robust traction, and the inner lining is textile for comfort.

Ensure your gaiters (if used) are properly sealed around the boot. Check for any physical damage to the boot's membrane. Remember, water can also enter over the top of the boot if you step in deep puddles or streams. If the issue persists, consider reapplying an external waterproofing treatment to the outer fabric.

Verify you are wearing appropriate hiking socks. Ensure your boots are laced correctly – not too loose (allowing movement) or too tight (causing pressure points). Allow for a proper break-in period if the boots are new. Consider if the boot size is correct for your foot, as swelling can occur during activity.

Clean the Dynagrip outsole thoroughly to remove any embedded mud or debris that might be reducing traction. Check the tread for excessive wear, which could indicate it's time for a new pair if the wear is significant.

This can sometimes be caused by the insole rubbing against the boot's interior. Try removing the insoles, cleaning both the insoles and the inside of the boot, and reinserting them. A small amount of talcum powder or fabric softener sheet under the insole can sometimes resolve the issue. If the squeak is external, ensure laces are snug.
