FAQs
Are these boots fully waterproof?
Yes, the Karrimor Hot Rock Waterproof Walking Boots feature a dedicated waterproof lining designed to keep your feet dry in wet conditions, such as rain, puddles, and damp trails.
How do I clean my Karrimor Hot Rock boots?
You should wipe them clean with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Allow them to air dry naturally. Do not machine wash or use direct heat.
Can I machine wash these boots?
No, machine washing is strongly advised against. It can damage the materials, compromise the waterproof lining, and reduce the overall lifespan of the boots.
What kind of activities are these boots suitable for?
These boots are ideal for trail walking, hiking, and general outdoor adventures, especially where comfort, support, and protection from wet conditions are important.
Do these boots provide good ankle support?
Yes, they feature a high padded ankle collar that offers excellent support and cushioning, enhancing stability and reducing fatigue during long periods of wear.
What is the Ortholite insole?
The Ortholite insole is a specialized footbed that provides superior cushioning, breathability, and moisture management, contributing to all-day comfort and reducing foot fatigue.
How do I ensure the best fit for my boots?
Lace your boots securely but not too tightly, ensuring your heel is comfortably seated and your toes have room to wiggle. The classic lacing system allows for customizable tension. Try them on with the type of socks you'd typically wear for hiking.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel damp or wet inside the boots.
Check if the waterproof lining has been compromised (e.g., by a tear or excessive wear). Ensure socks are made of wicking material, as cotton can retain moisture. Re-apply a suitable DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment to the exterior if water is soaking into the outer fabric.
Boots feel uncomfortable or rub after extended wear.
Ensure you are wearing appropriate walking socks. Re-adjust the lacing for a better fit; sometimes a slight change in lacing tension can resolve rubbing. Allow for a break-in period, as new boots often need to mold to your feet over a few wears.
Loss of grip on certain surfaces.
Inspect the Dynagrip outsole for excessive wear or embedded debris. Clean the lugs thoroughly to ensure maximum contact with the ground. If the lugs are significantly worn, the boot's traction capability may be diminished.

Care Instructions
To ensure the longevity and performance of your boots, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: After use, especially in muddy conditions, gently wipe the boots clean with a damp cloth. Remove any dirt or debris from the upper and the outsole lugs.
- Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials and waterproof lining.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash these boots, as this will compromise their waterproof properties and structural integrity.
- Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
