Product Information

Full details

The Karrimor Mount Low Walking Shoes are designed for individuals seeking reliable comfort and support during low-level walks and everyday outdoor activities. Their key win is providing dry, comfortable feet through Weathertite waterproofing and a supportive FrameFlex Chassis. A potential consideration is their 'low' cut, which means they are best suited for less challenging terrain where ankle support from a high-cut boot isn't critical.

FAQs

Are these shoes fully waterproof?

The Karrimor Mount Low Walking Shoes feature a Weathertite waterproof and breathable membrane bootie lining, designed to keep your feet dry in wet conditions. While highly water-resistant, no shoe is 100% impervious to water under extreme conditions or prolonged submersion.

What kind of terrain are these shoes best suited for?

These shoes are ideal for low-level walking, light hiking on established trails, parks, and general outdoor use. Their low-cut design makes them less suitable for very rugged, steep, or highly uneven terrains that require extensive ankle support.

Do I need to 'break in' these shoes?

Yes, like most walking footwear, a short break-in period is recommended. Wear them for shorter walks initially to allow the shoes to conform to your feet and minimize the chance of discomfort or blisters on longer excursions.

How do I clean my Karrimor Mount Low Walking Shoes?

Brush off loose dirt after use. For tougher grime, use lukewarm water and a soft cloth or sponge. Do not use harsh detergents. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat. For the suede upper, consider a specialized suede cleaner and protector spray.

What type of socks should I wear with these shoes?

For optimal comfort and moisture management, we recommend wearing moisture-wicking socks made from synthetic blends or merino wool. Avoid cotton socks, as they retain moisture and can lead to blisters.

Can I use these for running?

While versatile, these shoes are designed for walking and light hiking, not for running. Their sole flexibility and cushioning are optimized for walking gait, and they lack the specific support and responsiveness needed for running.

Troubleshooting

Feet feel damp or wet inside the shoe after walking in rain.

Ensure the shoe is laced correctly and snugly to prevent water ingress from the top. Check for any visible damage to the upper material. Consider re-applying a water repellent treatment to the suede leather if the outer material is saturating quickly.

Experiencing discomfort or rubbing, especially around the heel or toes.

Ensure you are wearing appropriate walking socks that are moisture-wicking and have adequate cushioning. Confirm the shoes are fully broken in; discomfort may lessen with more wear. Verify that the shoe size is correct and not too tight or too loose.

Slipping on wet surfaces despite the Dynagrip sole.

Clean the sole thoroughly to remove any embedded dirt or debris that might be reducing grip. Inspect the tread for excessive wear; worn-out treads will reduce traction. Adjust your walking style to take shorter, more deliberate steps on very slick surfaces.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Effective Water Resistance: Weathertite technology keeps feet dry in wet conditions.
  • Enhanced Comfort: Cushioned insole and FrameFlex Chassis provide good support and reduce fatigue.
  • Reliable Traction: Dynagrip sole offers dependable grip on various terrains.
  • Durable Construction: Combination of suede leather and textile in the upper ensures longevity.
  • Breathable Design: Weathertite membrane allows for some breathability, aiding in comfort.

Cons

  • Low Ankle Support: As a low-cut shoe, it offers less ankle support compared to higher-cut walking boots, making it less suitable for very uneven or challenging terrain.
  • Material Care: Suede leather requires specific care to maintain its appearance and waterproof properties.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. First Wear: Like most new footwear, it's recommended to wear your Karrimor Mount Low Walking Shoes for short periods initially to break them in. This allows the shoes to mold to your feet and reduces the risk of blisters.
  2. Lacing: Ensure the laces are snug but not overly tight. A proper lacing technique distributes pressure evenly across your foot and secures it comfortably within the shoe.
  3. Socks: Always wear appropriate walking socks. Moisture-wicking materials (synthetic or merino wool blends) are best, as they help manage sweat and prevent rubbing.

Compatibility

  • Activities: Ideal for low-level walking, light hiking, general outdoor activities, dog walking, and everyday casual wear.
  • Terrain: Best suited for well-maintained paths, gravel trails, grassy areas, and urban environments. While the Dynagrip sole provides traction, the low cut is not designed for challenging, uneven, or rocky mountain terrain.
  • Weather: Suitable for damp or wet conditions due to Weathertite waterproofing. The breathability makes them comfortable in moderate temperatures, but they may be warm in very hot weather.

Care

  1. Cleaning: After each use, especially if dirty, brush off loose dirt with a soft brush. For stubborn mud, use lukewarm water and a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid harsh detergents.
  2. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not force dry them with direct heat (e.g., radiators, hairdryers), as this can damage the leather and adhesives, compromising the waterproof membrane.
  3. Leather/Suede Care: Periodically treat the suede leather upper with a suitable leather or suede protector spray to maintain its water repellency and appearance. Follow the product instructions for application.
  4. Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
