Product Information

Full details

The Karrimor Mount Walking Shoes are designed for individuals seeking reliable foot protection and comfort on varied terrain, from light trails to daily walks. Featuring Weathertite waterproofing and a supportive FrameFlex Chassis, these shoes keep your feet dry and stable. While offering excellent functionality for most walking activities, their low-cut design provides less ankle support compared to traditional hiking boots, making them ideal for less technical paths or as a versatile everyday option.

FAQs

Are these shoes fully waterproof?

Yes, the Karrimor Mount Walking Shoes feature a Weathertite waterproof and breathable membrane bootie lining, designed to keep your feet dry in wet conditions while allowing moisture vapor to escape.

Can I use these for hiking in mountainous areas?

They are suitable for moderate trails and day hikes. For very rugged, steep, or technical mountainous terrain where maximum ankle protection and rigidity are required, a higher-cut, stiffer hiking boot might be a more appropriate choice.

How should I clean the suede and textile upper?

Brush off loose dirt with a soft brush when dry. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized suede and textile cleaning product, following its instructions. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat.

What type of socks should I wear with these shoes?

For best performance and comfort, wear moisture-wicking synthetic or merino wool hiking socks. These types of socks help manage moisture and reduce friction, preventing blisters.

Do these shoes require a 'break-in' period?

While they are generally comfortable from the start, we recommend wearing them for short periods around the house or on short walks before embarking on a long hike to ensure they mold to your feet.

Are they breathable enough for warm weather?

Yes, the Weathertite membrane is designed to be breathable, allowing internal moisture to escape, which helps keep your feet comfortable in a range of temperatures, including warmer conditions. However, in extremely hot and humid environments, any waterproof shoe will feel warmer than a non-waterproof, highly ventilated shoe.

Troubleshooting

My feet are getting wet, despite the Weathertite membrane.

Check for visible damage to the shoe's upper, such as tears or worn seams. Ensure the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) on the outer fabric is still effective; if water soaks in, reapply a suitable waterproofing spray for suede and textile. Also, verify that water isn't entering from the top opening during heavy rain or deep puddles.

The shoes feel less supportive or less comfortable than before.

Inspect the insole for wear and tear; replacing a worn insole with a new cushioned or orthopedic one can often restore comfort and support. Ensure your laces are tied securely to prevent excessive foot movement within the shoe.

I'm experiencing poor grip on certain surfaces.

Check the Dynagrip sole for excessive wear, especially on the lugs (tread). If the tread is significantly worn down, the shoe's traction will be reduced. Ensure the soles are clean and free of embedded debris like small stones or mud that could compromise grip.

The suede looks dirty or discolored.

Use a dedicated suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, apply a specialized suede cleaner following the product's instructions, then brush gently. Regular cleaning and applying a suede protector can help prevent future discoloration.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Effective Waterproofing: Weathertite technology reliably keeps feet dry in wet conditions.
  • Excellent Traction: Dynagrip sole provides confidence on slippery or uneven ground.
  • Comfort and Support: FrameFlex Chassis and cushioned insole contribute to long-lasting comfort and stability.
  • Durable Materials: Suede leather and textile upper are built to withstand regular use.
  • Versatile Design: Suitable for a wide range of activities, from casual walks to moderate day hikes.

Cons

  • Limited Ankle Support: The low-cut design offers less ankle protection than higher-cut hiking boots, which may not be ideal for very rough or technical terrain.
  • Suede Care: The suede upper requires specific cleaning and protection to maintain its appearance and longevity.
  • Not Insulated: Not designed for extreme cold or deep snow conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Initial Setup

  1. Lacing: Ensure the full lace-up front is tied securely but not too tightly. Adjust laces evenly to distribute pressure across your foot.
  2. First Wear: Wear your Karrimor Mount Walking Shoes indoors for a short period to break them in and ensure a comfortable fit before extended outdoor use.

Compatibility

  • Socks: For optimal comfort and moisture management, wear moisture-wicking hiking socks made from synthetic blends or merino wool. Avoid cotton socks, which retain moisture and can lead to blisters.
  • Terrain: These shoes are ideal for light to moderate trails, park walks, and general outdoor use. While they offer good grip, for highly technical, rocky, or off-trail expeditions requiring maximum ankle stability, you might consider higher-cut hiking boots.

Care & Maintenance

  • Cleaning: After use, remove loose dirt and mud with a soft brush or damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a specialized suede and textile cleaner, following the product's instructions. Avoid harsh detergents.
  • Drying: Always allow your shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials and waterproof membrane.
  • Waterproofing Re-application: Over time, the outer durable water repellent (DWR) coating on the textile and suede may wear off. If water starts to soak into the upper fabric instead of beading up, consider applying a suitable waterproof treatment specifically designed for suede and textile hiking footwear.
  • Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight when not in use. You can use shoe trees or stuff them with newspaper to help maintain their shape.
