FAQs

Are these boots fully waterproof?

Yes, the Karrimor Skiddaw Walking Boots feature a Weathertite upper, which provides waterproof and breathable protection to keep your feet dry in various wet conditions.

Are these boots suitable for long hikes?

Absolutely. With their Ortholite insole for cushioning and a lightweight Phylon midsole, these boots are designed to provide comfort and reduce fatigue during extended periods of walking and hiking.

How do I clean my Karrimor Skiddaw boots?

To clean your boots, wipe them down with a damp cloth and allow them to air dry naturally. It's crucial to avoid machine washing, as this can damage the boot's materials and waterproof properties.

What kind of terrain are these boots best for?

Thanks to their DynaGrip outsole, these boots offer superior traction and stability, making them suitable for a variety of outdoor terrains, including established trails, muddy paths, and uneven surfaces.

Are the boots heavy?

No, the boots are designed with a Phylon midsole, which contributes to a lightweight construction, helping to reduce overall foot fatigue during your adventures.

Troubleshooting

My feet are getting wet despite the waterproof claim.

Check if the laces are tied securely, preventing water entry from the top. Inspect the boots for any visible damage or tears. Consider re-applying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray to the exterior fabric if the outer material is saturating.

I experience discomfort or foot fatigue during hikes.

Ensure you are wearing appropriate hiking socks that wick moisture and provide cushioning. Verify the boots are properly laced, not too tight or too loose. If new, allow for a proper break-in period. You might also consider aftermarket insoles for personalized support if the Ortholite insoles aren't sufficient for your foot type.

I'm experiencing poor traction on certain surfaces.

Clean the DynaGrip outsole thoroughly to remove any caked-on mud or debris that might be reducing grip. Be mindful of extremely slippery conditions, as no boot can guarantee absolute traction on all surfaces. Ensure the sole is not excessively worn.

The boots feel stiff and uncomfortable.

This is often normal for new walking boots. Wear them on several shorter walks or around the house to allow them to break in and mold to your foot shape. Ensure you are wearing appropriate hiking socks to reduce friction during this period.

Pros and Cons

  • Excellent comfort and support for long hikes
  • Lightweight design reduces foot fatigue

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Lacing: Before your first use, ensure the laces are threaded correctly through all hook eyelets. When putting on the boots, push your heel back into the boot, then pull the laces snugly from the toes upwards, securing them tightly around the ankle for maximum support. Avoid over-tightening which can cause discomfort.
  2. Break-in Period: Like most walking boots, the Skiddaw may require a short break-in period. Wear them around the house or on short, easy walks before tackling longer excursions to allow the materials to conform to your feet.

Compatibility

These boots are suitable for a wide range of outdoor activities, including:

  • Day hiking on established trails
  • Backpacking on moderate terrain
  • General outdoor exploration and walking

They pair well with appropriate hiking socks to wick away moisture and prevent blisters. Consider using gaiters for added protection in very wet or snowy conditions.

Care Instructions

Proper care will extend the life and performance of your Karrimor Skiddaw Walking Boots:

  1. Cleaning: After each use, especially if dirty or muddy, wipe the boots clean with a damp cloth. Remove any debris from the outsole tread.
  2. Drying: Air dry your boots naturally at room temperature. Avoid machine washing as this can damage the waterproof membrane and materials. Do not place them directly on heat sources like radiators or open fires, as excessive heat can cause materials to crack or delaminate.
  3. Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
  4. Re-proofing (Optional): Over time, the outer durable water repellent (DWR) finish may wear off. You can restore this by applying a suitable footwear re-proofing spray, following the product's instructions. This helps water bead off the surface, maintaining breathability and preventing the outer material from soaking through.
