Karrimor Mount Mid Ladies Waterproof Walking Boots - Black - UK 5

Yes, the Karrimor Mount Mid boots feature Weathertite waterproof / breathable technology, designed to keep your feet dry in wet conditions while allowing internal moisture vapor to escape.

To clean, brush off loose dirt. For the suede split leather upper, use a specialized suede cleaner and brush. For other textile areas, a damp cloth is usually sufficient. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.

For optimal comfort and moisture management, we recommend wearing moisture-wicking walking or hiking socks. These socks are designed to prevent blisters and complement the boot's breathability.

While designed for comfort, it's generally recommended to wear new walking boots for shorter periods before embarking on long hikes. This allows the boots to mold to your feet and prevents discomfort.

The Dynagrip sole unit is Karrimor's proprietary outsole technology, engineered to provide enhanced traction and durability, ensuring reliable grip on various challenging terrains.

The Frameflex 3D chassis is an internal component designed to provide structural support and stability underfoot, helping to protect your feet and reduce fatigue on uneven paths.

While the Weathertite membrane provides waterproofing for wet conditions, these boots are not specifically insulated for extreme cold. They are suitable for general winter walking on trails, but for deep snow or very low temperatures, additional insulated footwear might be more appropriate.

Check the outer material for any damage or excessive wear that might compromise the waterproof membrane. Ensure the top of the boot is not submerged above the waterproof line. Also, consider if the moisture is internal perspiration; the boots are breathable but prolonged strenuous activity in warm conditions can still lead to some dampness. Ensure you're wearing moisture-wicking socks.

Ensure you have laced the boots properly, utilizing the over lace system to provide a snug yet comfortable fit. Experiment with different lacing techniques to relieve pressure points. Wear appropriate, well-fitting walking socks. If new, the boots may require a short 'break-in' period to mold to your feet. If discomfort persists, check your boot size and consider trying a half size up or down.

Inspect the Dynagrip sole unit for excessive wear or blockages. Mud or debris can accumulate in the tread, reducing traction. Clean the soles thoroughly with a stiff brush and water after each use. If the tread is significantly worn, the boots may need replacing.

This is common with new walking boots. Allow for a break-in period by wearing them for shorter walks initially. The suede split leather upper and internal padding will soften over time. Ensure the laces around the ankle are firm but not overly tight, utilizing the padded ankle for comfort.
