Karrimor Hot Rock Walking Shoes - Beige - UK 10

Yes, with their waterproof lining, they offer good protection in wet and cooler conditions. In very hot weather, while the waterproofing keeps water out, it may reduce overall breathability compared to non-waterproof shoes.

We recommend trying the shoes on, ideally with the type of socks you plan to wear. Walk around to ensure a comfortable fit with enough room in the toe box and no heel slip. If you're between sizes, consider going up half a size, especially for walking shoes.

Yes, the Karrimor Hot Rock Walking Shoes come with a cushioned Ortholite insole that can typically be removed to accommodate custom orthotics or preferred insoles, ensuring personalized comfort and support.

For optimal comfort and to prevent blisters, we recommend wearing moisture-wicking hiking socks made from materials like wool or synthetic blends. Avoid cotton socks, as they retain moisture.

While the Ortholite insole offers immediate comfort, it's generally advisable to 'break in' any new walking shoes. Wear them for short walks around your home or neighborhood before embarking on longer hikes to allow the materials to conform to your feet.

The deep lugs of the Dynagrip outsole provide excellent traction on many surfaces, but no shoe can guarantee absolute slip resistance on ice. Always exercise caution when walking on icy or extremely slick conditions.

First, check for any visible damage or punctures in the shoe's upper that might compromise the waterproof lining. Ensure water isn't entering from the top, either over the collar or through gaps if wearing shorter socks in deep puddles. Sometimes, excessive sweating can be mistaken for leakage; consider moisture-wicking socks to manage internal dampness.

Ensure you have the correct size and width. Wear appropriate hiking socks that are moisture-wicking and provide cushioning. 'Break in' new shoes by wearing them for shorter periods before embarking on long hikes. Check lacing to ensure it's snug but not too tight, and adjust throughout your walk if needed. Ortholite insoles are cushioned, but personal insoles can be added if needed.

Inspect the deep lugs on the Dynagrip outsole. Mud, small stones, or debris can get lodged between the lugs, reducing their effectiveness. Clean the outsole thoroughly with a brush and water. If the lugs appear significantly worn down, it may be time to consider a new pair as outsole wear is natural over time.
