FAQs
Are these boots fully waterproof?
Yes, these Karrimor Mount Walking Boots feature a Weathertite membrane which provides reliable waterproofing and breathability to keep your feet dry in wet conditions.
How do I clean my Karrimor Mount boots?
To clean, remove loose dirt with a soft brush, then wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
Do I need to 'break in' these boots?
Yes, it's highly recommended to break in your new boots. Wear them for short walks before undertaking longer hikes to allow them to mold to your feet and prevent discomfort.
What kind of socks should I wear with these boots?
We recommend wearing good-quality walking socks made from materials like merino wool or synthetic blends. These socks help wick away moisture and provide cushioning, enhancing comfort and preventing blisters.
What activities are these boots suitable for?
These boots are designed for walking, hiking, and general outdoor activities on varied terrains, offering comfort, support, and weather protection.
How can I maintain the waterproofing?
Regularly clean your boots and, if the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating on the exterior seems less effective, reapply a suitable waterproofing spray or wax designed for leather and textile footwear. Follow the product instructions for best results.
What is the 'Frame Flex Chassis'?
The Frame Flex Chassis is an internal component that provides essential underfoot support and stability, particularly important for navigating uneven or challenging terrain during walks and hikes.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel damp or wet inside the boots.
While the Weathertite membrane is waterproof, water can enter through the top if walking in deep puddles or heavy rain without gaiters. Also, ensure the outer DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment is intact; reapply a suitable waterproofing spray if needed. Check for any small tears or damage to the upper material that could compromise the waterproof barrier. Also, ensure breathability isn't overwhelmed by extreme exertion or non-wicking socks.
Boots feel uncomfortable, or I'm getting blisters.
Ensure you've adequately broken in the boots by wearing them on shorter walks first. Check your lacing for an even, secure fit without being too tight. Wear appropriate, good-quality walking socks (not cotton) that wick moisture and provide cushioning. Consider trying different lacing patterns or insoles if discomfort persists.
Lack of grip on wet or loose surfaces.
Inspect the Dynagrip outsole for excessive wear or embedded debris. Clean the tread thoroughly. If the sole appears significantly worn down, its traction capabilities may be reduced, indicating it might be time for a replacement or resoling if possible.
Boots are stiff and don't flex well.
This is common with new walking boots due to their supportive construction. Continue the break-in process. The materials, especially leather, will soften and conform to your foot over time. The Frame Flex chassis is designed for support, not extreme flexibility, which is normal for walking boots.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup
Lacing: Ensure laces are threaded through all eyelets. Start from the bottom, pulling firmly but not too tightly. When reaching the ankle, use the hooks to secure the top of the boot, allowing for snug ankle support. Experiment with lacing techniques to find the most comfortable fit for your foot shape.
Break-in: New walking boots often require a break-in period. Wear them for short walks around the house or on easy trails before attempting longer excursions. This allows the boots to mold to your feet, preventing blisters and discomfort.
Compatibility
These boots are designed for walking, hiking, and general outdoor activities.
Pair them with appropriate walking socks (e.g., merino wool or synthetic blends) to enhance moisture wicking and comfort.
Suitable for varied terrains, including dirt paths, gravel trails, and moderate rocky surfaces.
Care
Cleaning: After each use, remove loose dirt and mud with a soft brush or damp cloth. For tougher grime, use mild soap and water. Avoid harsh detergents or solvents.
Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them directly on heat sources (e.g., radiators, open fires), as this can damage materials and adhesives. Stuffing with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
Waterproofing: Over time, the outer waterproofing treatment may wear off. Reapply a suitable waterproofing spray or wax designed for leather and textile walking boots to maintain their protective qualities. Follow the product manufacturer's instructions.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
