Karrimor Mount Walking Shoes - Suede - Black - UK 10

The Karrimor Mount Waterproof Walking Shoes offer waterproof protection, making them suitable for wet winter conditions. However, they are not insulated, so for very cold temperatures, pairing them with warm socks is recommended. The Dynagrip sole provides good traction but may not be sufficient for icy conditions without additional traction devices.

It is recommended to select your standard UK shoe size. For optimal comfort, try them on with the type of socks you typically wear for walking. If possible, try them on at the end of the day when your feet are slightly swollen.

No, it is not recommended to wash these shoes in a washing machine. Machine washing can damage the suede, textile, waterproof membrane, and bonding agents, leading to reduced performance and durability. Refer to the 'Care' section for proper cleaning instructions.

These shoes are best suited for light to moderate trails, well-maintained paths, gravel roads, and urban environments. Their low-cut design makes them comfortable for everyday wear and general walking. For rugged, technical, or highly challenging terrains, a higher-cut boot with more rigid ankle support might be preferable.

The frequency of re-application depends on how often you wear the shoes and the conditions you wear them in. As a general guideline, re-apply a suitable waterproof treatment every few months, or whenever you notice water no longer beads off the surface of the shoe. Always ensure the shoes are clean before applying any treatment.

Check if the waterproof membrane has been compromised by damage or excessive wear. Ensure gaiters or waterproof trousers are used in conjunction with the shoes in very wet conditions to prevent water ingress from the top. Consider re-applying a water-repellent treatment to the outer material.

Ensure you have the correct size and fit. Experiment with different lacing techniques to relieve pressure points. Consider replacing the cushioned insole with an aftermarket orthotic if persistent discomfort occurs.

While the Dynagrip sole offers good traction, no sole is slip-proof in all conditions. Exercise caution on extremely slippery surfaces like ice or polished wet rock. Check the sole for excessive wear, which can reduce grip.

Clean promptly with a soft brush and a damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a cleaner specifically designed for suede and textile. Always test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.
