Karrimor Mount Low Walking Shoes - Black - 8.5 UK

Yes, with their cushioned insole and FrameFlex Chassis for support, Karrimor Mount Low Walking Shoes are designed for comfort during extended periods of walking and daily use.

These shoes are best suited for light to moderate trails and general walking. For serious hiking or mountaineering, a higher-cut boot offering more ankle support and robust sole protection would be more appropriate.

Gently brush off loose dirt with a suede brush. For tougher stains, use a damp cloth with a specialized suede cleaner. Always allow the shoes to air dry completely afterwards.

While the shoes feature a Weathertite membrane for waterproofing, regularly applying a suitable waterproof treatment to the outer suede/textile material will help maintain its water repellency and prevent the outer layer from becoming saturated, thus preserving the shoe's breathability and lifespan.

For best performance and comfort, wear moisture-wicking, breathable walking socks. These help manage sweat and prevent blisters, especially during active use.

The FrameFlex Chassis is an internal support system within the shoe's sole that provides enhanced stability and cushioning. It helps reduce foot fatigue and offers better structural support, particularly on uneven ground.

Check the shoes for any visible damage (cuts, tears) that might compromise the waterproof membrane. Ensure the laces are tied securely to prevent water ingress from the top. Consider re-applying a waterproof treatment to the suede/textile upper, as the outer layer can lose its water repellency over time even if the internal membrane is intact.

Ensure you have the correct size and width. Use appropriate moisture-wicking walking socks, not cotton. Verify that your lacing technique provides a snug fit without being too tight, preventing foot movement inside the shoe. If new, allow for a proper break-in period with shorter walks. Consider trying different insoles if the existing cushioning is insufficient for your foot type.

Inspect the Dynagrip sole for excessive wear, especially on the lugs. If the tread is significantly worn, the shoe's grip will naturally diminish. Clean the soles regularly to remove embedded dirt, mud, or small stones that can reduce effective traction.

Remove the insoles after use and allow them and the shoes to air dry completely. Consider using an anti-odor spray or shoe deodorizer. Regular cleaning of the interior with a mild antibacterial solution can also help. Ensure you're wearing breathable, moisture-wicking socks to minimize sweat build-up.
