Karrimor Hiking Shoes - Black

These shoes are best suited for moderate hiking and trail walking. While they offer good waterproofing and traction, their low-cut design may not provide adequate ankle support for challenging, off-trail mountain terrain. For such conditions, consider a higher-cut hiking boot.

The mesh lining can be gently cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Ensure thorough rinsing and allow to air dry completely. Avoid machine washing or harsh chemicals.

The Frame Flex chassis works with the Ortholite insole to provide structured cushioning and stability, particularly in the midfoot. This helps to reduce foot fatigue and improve overall support during your hikes.

Yes, the Ortholite insole is removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics or alternative insoles if desired, provided they are of a similar thickness to maintain a proper fit.

The frequency depends on usage and environmental conditions. It's generally recommended to reapply waterproofing treatment at least once a season, or more often if you frequently hike in wet conditions and notice the water repellency decreasing.

For optimal comfort and performance, it is recommended to wear moisture-wicking hiking socks made of wool or synthetic blends. These help manage sweat and prevent blisters, complementing the shoe's breathability.

Ensure laces are tied securely to prevent water ingress from the top. Check for any visible damage to the shoe material or seams. Reapply waterproofing treatment if it seems diminished.

Clean the Dynagrip sole of any mud or debris, as this can significantly reduce grip. Ensure you are walking within the shoe's intended use on appropriate terrain.

Break in the shoes by wearing them for shorter periods initially. Ensure socks are worn correctly and are not bunching up. Adjust the speed lace system for a more precise fit, avoiding over-tightening in pressure areas.

Ensure the speed lace system's locking mechanism is functioning correctly. Check if the laces are snagged or frayed. Clean the lace channels if they are clogged with dirt.
