FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for winter hiking?
Yes, the waterproof construction and rugged grip make them suitable for winter trails, though they are not insulated for sub-zero alpine conditions.
How should I clean the exterior?
Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt and a damp cloth for deeper cleaning. Avoid using a washing machine as this can degrade the bonding agents.
Do I need to spray these with a waterproofer?
They come with built-in Weathertite technology. While not strictly necessary, you can apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray specifically designed for synthetic hiking shoes once the original coating begins to wear.
Are these true to size?
The Karrimor Kestrel series is generally true to standard UK sizing, but we recommend wearing your preferred hiking socks when trying them on for size.
Can I replace the insoles with orthotics?
Yes, the included insoles are removable, making them compatible with most standard aftermarket orthotic inserts.
Troubleshooting
Water entering the shoe during heavy rain
Ensure the laces are tightened securely to the top eyelet and check that your trousers are overlapping the ankle collar to prevent water runoff from entering the top.
Slipping on very smooth, wet rock
While Dynagrip is versatile, ensure your tread is free of packed mud or debris, as debris can significantly reduce the outsole's contact area and grip capability.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best results, ensure your hiking socks are moisture-wicking to complement the breathable waterproof technology. To break in your shoes, start with shorter walks on level ground before tackling steep, technical trails. After use, clean the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dried mud and debris, as trapped dirt can compromise the waterproof membrane over time. Always air dry your shoes away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the materials and damage the cushioning structure.
